Pat Bail redux

Alameda’s resident Miss Manners opines:

Resident Pat Bail, the former president of the Alameda Republican Women Federated, said she supported John McCain … As for the Democratic race, “I think Hillary is too strident and harsh,” Bail said, “and she’s kind of lost it quite frankly.

I’ve never agreed with anything that Pat Bail said, so this is no exception. But I thought it was funny (in a bizarro sense) that she would use the very words that folks around town associate her with to describe Hillary!

2007 Alameda Darwin Awards

Two nominations for the 2007 edition.

1. Guy tries to break into a surveillance store located off Park Ave (on Webb Ave) and is later apprehended by the cops.
2. Good samaritan (!) discovers he’s been cleaned out the next morning.

Another “scoop” by Don Roberts!

Late breaking news from Don Roberts … a typo in a reader’s letter! What did you expect? A proclamation to stop the presses now that the relationship between the complexity classes P and NP has finally been established? C’mon, give the guy a break. As I said before, Woodward and Bernstein, alamedadailynews certainly ain’t!

Darwin Award for an Alamedan … almost!

This guy almost got himself nominated for a Darwin Award

A man who lives in the 1800 block of Shore Line Drive told police that a woman he met at a local bar stole his computer and other property after he allowed her to stay with him. The victim, 28, said he met the woman about two weeks ago at Lucky 13 on Park Street and offered her a place to stay when she told him she was from out-of-town. After the suspect was living with him about a week, the man went out-of-town for a couple of days. When he returned home, the woman was gone, along with his computer, watch and debit card. The stolen items are worth about $2,650. The victim described the woman as 28 years old and provided police with her possible name.
