Just kicking off a LIVE blog from Oakland here. Please join in.

the BREAKING NEWS is at around 6pm a PG&E 16-24 inch gas pipe broke in a very densely populated neighborhood of San Bruno, California just immediately south of San Francisco on the Pennisula here very near SFO (San Francisco International Airport) off 101.

The blast is the most intense seen in the Bay Area since the Oakland Hill fire. Though they and circumstances other than looks are not similar. Ther appears to be at least 25-50 homes maybe completely incenerate and local hospital reports of filled emergency rooms. Early in the disaster it has been confirmed that civilians were asked to surrender the cars (keys) so injured to be immediately to to hospitals.

Yep - going to have a real shot at Best Picture and more. I was just blown away by the trailer. It is as great as the buzz I heard since Spring. I was at the Harvey Milk Statue unveiling this Spring at the SF City Hall and was told that they were "rushing" to get this movie released just BEFORE the election. Hope that is this is still true. The trailer is AWESOME. OMG!

Huntington Post:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/...

Here is the first video look at Gus Van Sant's "Milk." The film tells the story of California's first openly gay elected official, Harvey Milk (played by Sean Penn), a San Francisco supervisor who was assassinated. Out this November, it costars James Franco, Josh Brolin, Emile Hirsh and Diego Luna.

Greeting Kossacks from Team Kaplan.

Fellow Kossack and frequent diarist here Rebecca Kaplan (Reb Kaplan)is running for the very coveted "At-Large" seat on the Oakland City Council. Rebecca's diverse experience as a civil rights attorney, Director for the AC Transit Board, and known Progressive Oakland City Activist makes her the right choice for Oakland City Council. She is also a huge Obama supporter.

First - as a Campaign Visibility Captain for Team Kaplan I want to thank all of you very much for your help recently promoting the first fundraiser for Rebecca. It was a MAJOR success. Rebecca wants to pass along her sincere thanks also. She cherishes "People Powered" - NETROOTS efforts on her behalf.

The campaign has used those generous donations $ from that event to launch the first campaign efforts of the General Election. We now have Apartment/Business Signs, Yard Signs, Fliers, and Buttons.

Kossacks in ACTION!

If you can join me tabling in Oakland today at the Grand Lake Theatre I could WAY use the help. Also you could help with carrying signs around the Farmers Market. VISABILITY is EVERYTHING in politics. Leaving to go there soon so will get back to all of your comments. :)

Stop by our table at the Grand Lake Farmers Market in Oakland this Saturday 10-2. This will be our second large visability effort for the General Election in November. Rebecca is in a run-off for the City Council seat. We'll be tabling plus canvassing the crowds handing out hand-bills. The campaing needs enthusiastic volunteers to help with the campaign - is that you? Sign up Saturday.

Oh and please drop by to get a Apartment or Business Sign, Yard Sign, and/or Buttons. Neighbors want to see other neighbors are votin Kaplan. We sure would like to see your friendly Kossack faces. Rebecca is one of us folks. She needs your support.
