Nice piece DWB. At first I thought we were gonna Manzarek go on about himself with the "Oh I forgot for a second, I thought I'd had a whole career" business and he's been known to go astray in interviews. But he was surprisingly candid, humble and refreshing.

Yes, it's a good signal for California politics to have someone like Darrell Steinberg at the helm in the Senate. Kind words by Robby Waters, but of course he's been know to say anything to keep himself in favor despite his track record.
