POPSOakland Mayor Ron Dellums needs to explain tax mess or resign More: The debt owed to this city by Dellums is incalculable and there is nothing but pride - or arrogance - standing between him and a full public disclosure of the facts surrounding his tax problem. Anything short of that constitutes unacceptable behavior by a public official and violates the public contract between an elected official and the constituency the office serves. I tried to reach the mayor for comment - but he declined to speak with me, his press secretary Paul Rose told me. No one has asked Dellums to disclose anything that any other politician in the same set of circumstances wouldn't be asked to explain. If he cannot provide a public explanation for a controversy that has become another national embarrassment for this city, it's difficult to see how continuing in his current position is going to be good for anyone - either him or Oakland's citizens.

POPSThe Lost "Beer Summit" Transcripts GATES: Okay, we have been here long enough for pictures, can we go now? CROWLEY: I agree. OBAMA: You see, I am the racial healer, I can bring people together. GATES: I just want to get away from the vice-president. CROWLEY: Same here. OBAMA: We are on a role. This is a historical fundamental change in American race relations BIDEN: If I drink enough of the Jamaican Red Stripe beer professor, will I get a cool accent? GATES: What the Hell does that mean? OBAMA: Shut up Joe! Go play on Malia and Sasha’s swing set. BIDEN: Cool OBAMA: Sit down Joe. I wasn’t serious about the swing set. Just sit there and be quiet. CROWLEY: This isn’t going well. Mr. President if you apologize for calling the Cambridge Police Department stupid before you knew all the facts we can all move on.

POPSRestaurant review: Burma Superstar's new location in Oakland's Temescal District I so want to try the tea-leaf salad: Left to my own devices, I went for the obvious - starting with the tea leaf salad ($9). The pile of pungent, soft, fermented tea leaves is so alluring I might follow it into a dark alley some night. Arrayed around the tea leaves are small heaps of ingredients of all different textures and flavors - potent dried shrimp and fried garlic slices (too many, really), crunchy split peas, nutty sesame seeds and peanuts, tomatoes, lemons, and on and on, all over a bed of chopped romaine. Tossed tableside, it's a three-ring circus in your mouth.

POPS100-Year-Old Batboy Decades-Long Sox Fan
why i love baseball... see link for vid But it did. Wearing his custom-make "Big Pappy" Boston Red Sox Jersey - a gift from his daughter - Giddon arrived for batting practice at Fenway Park Saturday. He handled more helmets than bats. A string of Red Sox players made a point to meet him, including the real "Big Papi," slugger David Ortiz. "You got some hits for me," Ortiz asked Giddon. The last time Giddon was a batboy was 1923 - a bag of peanuts cost 5 cents, and he was 13, working for the old Boston Braves. Giddon once met Babe Ruth, but his favorite player was Ted Williams. "Did you ever thing about playing baseball?" Pinkston asked. "It was more of a dream," Giddon said. "But I don't think I was built for it. I wasn't tall or strong enough." It was Kennesaw Mountain Landis, the first commissioner of baseball, who steered him to a different career. "He says, 'I think you ought to be a lawyer, you ought to go to law school,'" Giddon said. That's what Giddon
