Time for a view on Silicon Valley…Well, more like San Francisco. The news here is abuzz with the SF mayor’s affair and admission of the affair. Who really cares? While it’s a pretty crappy thing to do to someone, the whole thing is just boring. Newsom is kind of hot. I don’t know him, nor do I know anyone who knows him, so I can’t say anything about his personality. I’m not sure anyone else out here really cares about his life either. It’s splashed all over the news media though. Ooh! Another scandal! Not. Any others out here sighing a collective “who cares”?

The vultures are circling, whether they be the media, Republican opponents or pundits. I seriously doubt that this story has any legs after a year or so. And what’s with the hand wringing over what this does to San Francisco’s reputation? As if politicians elsewhere don’t have affairs.
