The animal cruelty stories are back. Watch Dog can't decide if these are more depressing than the sex-video extortion crime report from yesterday. Either way, a cock fighting ring was raided over the weekend in Pescadero. 150 roosters were seized...so was the guy who owned the property. No word yet if Little Jerry was among the seized roosters...
And an update on the Girl Scouts and others involved in the parking lot accident on Sunday: Of the 5 folks that were hit, 3 have been released from the hospital while a mom and her 6 year old daughter remain in serious condition.
It is Millbrae's day to look at raising taxes to bridge a $1.7 million budget gap. Revenue is down, sales taxes are down, etc., etc., etc.
The Burlingame Elementary School District is also looking to voters...not for a new tax, but an extension of a parcel tax already on the books.

San Bruno is also looking at the stimulus package for some funds for some water projects. Pacifica is looking for stimulus too (thanks Riptide)...
Michelle Durand's "Off the Beat" in the Daily Journal explores Obama's graying hair...actually, it is a critique of the coverage of Obama's graying hair -- to which Durand adds a few more column-inches.
A bio-tech job fair (obviously) attracted an overflow crowd yesterday in South San Francisco. The City of SSF was a partner in this job fair trying to connect newly laid off workers with bio-tech jobs.
