  SF MAYOR WILLIE BROWN GETS OUTPLAYED . From the urlLink SF Chronicle : In a move some called gutsy and others childish, San Francisco Supervisor Chris Daly used his powers as acting mayor Wednesday to appoint two people to the powerful Public Utilities Commission while Mayor Willie Brown was traveling in Tibet.
It was a premeditated stroke of opportunism that observers said was without parallel in modern political times at City Hall and caught the Brown administration and Daly's Board of Supervisor colleagues by surprise. Unless Brown can muster eight votes on the 11-member board to overturn Daly's act, the appointments are likely to stand, city lawyers said, and would go down as audacious coup against one of the great political gamesmen in California history.
... A mere 18 minutes after Daly swore his two appointees into their new posts, one of Brown's two political guns showed up to his supervisor's office and announced that effective immediately, Daly was no longer acting mayor. A poll next to the article has 9% of the people saying "That'll teach Willie to go to Tibet. " hehe
