Wow, the "race" lit up last week. At one session where Police Chief Batts appeared, the Oakland Police Officer's Association endorsed Don Perata. Opponent Jean Quan was there, while Perata was not. We think its gonna be a long slog between now an...

We drive a car, and the Bay Bridge "S" curve into Yerba Buena Island doesn't register too deeply. When you are driving a big rig, the risk factor rises. Here's raw footage of last night's smashed rig, which fell below the bridge. (Click here to ...

Around 8:07pm, there were 218 yea votes recorded on the House's health care vote. This vote gives the overhaul much more momentum. This should mean something like...no more pre-existing conditions will block insurance. Actually this health care o...

We received an interesting comment from a Long Beacher who used to work for Chief Batts. He (or she) was responding to Our Take On Incoming Chief Batts. "JB" wrote a long message, so I went ahead and split it into paragraphs for easier consumption...

We don't expect our City Fathers (or Mothers) to have no problems, but today's news about Mayor Ron Dellums and his unpaid income taxes is disheartening! Liens are something you could discover in the old, pre-internet days. What really matters is...

Let's see how a social application will allow us to chat.

At the Today in Montclair, 94611 blog, the functionality is limited to typical blogging and comments. Everything sort of ages out and it's sort of a one-way street of communications. So we signed up a "ning" account here which enables anyone to join and post messages to everyone. It's pretty simple and you can see what everyone is thinking.

It doesn't mean the blog will change, but this kind of social approach might come in handy if anyone needs to chat about...what to do, where to go, stuff for sale, good folks to hire, you name it. There doesn't seem to be a place to communicate locally about these matters. Heck, Montclarions even go over to the Berkeley parent network and its time to reclaim our identity.

Welcome, and we'll see how this grows and what YOU want to do.

U.S. House Just Voted "Yea" On Health Care

Around 8:07pm, there were 218 yea votes recorded on the House's health care vote. This vote gives the overhaul much more momentum.

The House bill translates into...a public insurance option and no more pre-existing conditions that block insurance.

Actually this health care overhaul is only partly done now. We have to wait on a Senate's bill, and then whatever the House and Senate get to the U.S. President's desk later.

Still it's interesting to see this pass...as a true squeaker. The vote was… Continue
