Jerry Brown: Aries

PoppoliticsI still totally heart Jerry Brown's Myspace page. Our new Attorney General hasn't updated in awhile, but he can be forgiven on account of he's running a 5,000-person department with vast and dangerous powers over other people's lives. Nevertheless, it's cool that California's chief law enforcement officer (sorry, Arnold!) plays "Green Onions" by Booker T and the MGs, and he's got a rockin' group of friends.

There is "Meatrack," standing next to his tractor in a white jumpsuit ready to push the dead bodies into the food processor. And "Devin," who totally looks like this party sucks and wants to bail, along with "Nehemiah Saint-Danger" and someone named "John Garamendi" and "alfie numeric, aka dollface malone aka joy atari."

The "real st. danger" posted a cool photo of Jerry on a jet with Linda Ronstadt. Sweet. And it's so Jerry to start a "blog" on the site and then only post one item. He gets so distracted!

Let's hope Jerry keeps this page going post-campaign. In true Jerry style, he's setting up shop in a shoebox government office near his house in Oakland. (Makes his carbon footprint smaller, natch.) It's about 90 miles from where his huge staff actually does the work of attorneys generalling. But maybe he can use the Myspace page to check on legal briefs, approve settlements and monitor sensitive investigations. And quell the internal complaints that have already started about running the Attorney General's office by Blackberry, telephone and fax. Peace out.
