Watch Dog in the middle of it all...4 points that prove it

There are four stories included in this one post -- all show Watch Dog in the middle of what is going on in the political world -- at least in Atherton.

Here goes:

1. In this post on October 16th Watch Dog gave a brief background of what has been happening in Atherton over the past few years. Watch Dog broke news in that post by including an email that Atherton Councilmember Charles Marsala sent to constituents about refunding building permit fees...

2. The Almanac just posted a story about the email that Marsala sent out and how he seems to be jumping the gun a little -- according to Mark Hynes, the on-again-off-again City Attorney of Atherton. Watch Dog predicted in this post that all was not as it seemed with this Hynes departure...

3. Mark Hynes is back and being quoted in this story as the City Attorney of Atherton. The Almanac skipped a step however. The Almanac reported he was leaving but they never reported that he was back. Don't worry, Watch Dog was on the story...

And finally,

4. Watch Dog's favorite part of this story: The Almanac story describing the Hynes/Marsala disagreement about Marsala's email (see #2) is posted on the Almanac website tomorrow. That's right. The Almanac posted the story tomorrow...here's a glimpse of the headline online right now (on October 21). (Hat tip to my favorite tipster on this one):
