The Chron is doing its end of the year thing today, and I must say that their look at the silly side of 2002 was pretty darned funny. This first item is one I wish I’d known about earlier:
AND SHE ONCE ATE A KOSHER PICKLE, TOO
State representative candidate Martha Wong ran an ad in the Jewish Herald Voice citing her qualifications, including this one: “Martha’s sons have participated in their friends’ Bar Mitzvahs.”
Yes, this is the woman who replaced Debra Danburg. God help us all.

God forbid a candidate engage in pandering. Really, the worst election tactic I saw in that contest was Danburg critisizing Wong on tax issues. Talk about hypocrisy.
