San Francisco Supervisor Chris Daly last garnered a lot of press when he lauched a little vendetta against the Blue Angels flying over the city, something that went down in flames because even the most stupid supervisors aren't stupid enough to kill that blessed cash cow. 

There's another Daly story, this time about the fact that he sponsors a little anarchic group that's shooting down affordable housing options in the Mission District.  San Francisco, represents the reductio ad absurdum of progressive politics.  Bookworm ruminates on it here.
