Oakland Raiders 2012 Season Is Lost

The Oakland Raiders: time to push the panic button and declare this 2012 Season lost. The Raiders were clobbered by the Miami Dolphins 14 to 35, and under the crushing weight of a Miami running game it could not stop, nor had the offensive firepower to match. Last week, the Raiders lost to the San Diego Chargers showing an anemic offense that could not push the ball downfield and into the endzone. Now, here come the Steelers.

Oakland Mayor Quan Says A Lot At Democratic Convention

As reported at Zennie62Blog.com , Oakland Mayor Jean Quan gave this vlogger an extensive interview. Even more interesting, the talk was done in the middle of the California Delegation and during Newark Mayor Cory Booker's rousing speech. In the interview, Quan explained that she was at DNC 2012 on her "own dime," and that the Obama White House was very helpful to big city Mayors, even to the point of setting up a special office to help them. She also took time to blast California State Controller John Chiang for holding up the Oakland Army Base Project. The video is above. Stay tuned.

Chicago Police Give Robberies Little Attention

It's one thing to say "Don't get robbed in Chicago," but if you do, will the Chicago Police help you at all? From the account written over at Zennie62.com, the answer is not only "not really," but they will not help you because robberies are given a low priority unless you're injured. That's right. You have to have been wounded for your robbery report to get any priority at all. On top of that, the robbery suspects are at large as of this writing.

Michelle Jenneke Dancing Sexy As Hell To Zennie62 Theme

Ok.  This may seem to have nothing to do with Oakland, but it does.  The Zennie62 Theme was created by Oakland's Emily Palen, especially for Zennie62 On YouTube .   I wondered how it would look if I combined the news video that became the viral video called "Michelle Jenneke Dancing Sexy As Hell " with the Zennie62 Theme.  Visit Emily Palen's site: EmilyPalen.com

Oakland Mayor Jean Quan Blows It At 100-Blocks Press Conference

Oakland Mayor Jean Quan returned from a trip to Brazil and in general a number of travel obligations that kept her out of Oakland far more than she was in it over the last five months, and to a swarm of controversy about her 100-blocks initiative that, on Wednesday June 27th at 2 PM, degenerated into the most disastrous press conference this blogger has ever seen in Oakland's mayoral history. I've been involved in Oakland politics in depth and either as columnist, Mayor's Aide, consultant, or video-blogger, since 1990, and through Mayor Lionel Wilson, Elihu Harris, Jerry Brown, Ron Dellums, and Jean Quan, and this presser - which included City of Oakland Chief Administrative Officer Deanna Santana, Assistant Chief Of Police Anthony Toribio, Mayor Quan's Senior Public Safety Advisor Megan Harmon, and Robert Batty of the consulting firm Forensic Logic (who's website is in "stealth mode" as of this writing) - by Quan was the worst I've ever seen -

Oakland Army Base Gets Preliminary City Council Approval

The Oakland Army Base Project - the long-dreamed of plan to redevelop a long-dead 366-acre land assembly that was once the home of the U.S. Army for the San Francisco Bay Area, and the focus of a competition won by Oakland-based California Capital Group two years ago - has moved a giant step closer to reality after the Oakland City Council approved the first reading of an ordinance that would accomplish the following: 1) Approve the city administrator to complete agreements with the Port Of Oakland, East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD), and a set of developers, firmly establish the use of $242 million in State Of California funds, and commit $22.5 million in City of Oakland funds to match a grant from the Trade Corridor Improvement Fund, which would total 54 million for the project in addition to the state funds mentioned. 2) Approve a plan that essentially transfers all land development control to the firms of Prologis CCIG Oakland Global, LLC, but under the City Of Oakla

Joe Tuman On The GS Warriors, Oakland, Rebecca Kaplan At Large, And Mayor Quan

For Oakland politicos, Joe Tuman has become a household name. The San Francisco State Professor and San Francisco CBS Channel Five Political Commentator made a name for himself in 2010 with an aggressive, if late-starting run to be Mayor of Oakland, losing - along with nine other candidates including the winner of the most first place votes, Don Perata - to then-Oakland Councilmember Jean Quan.

San Francisco News: Ross Mirkarimi Interview With SF Sheriff Suspended Via Domestic Violence Claim

Originally at: http://www.zennie62blog.com/2012/06/18/ross-mirkarimi-interview-with-sf-sheriff-suspended-due-to-claim-of-domestic-violence-33402/ Ross Mirkarimi, the long-time San Francisco progressive politician who, after being termed out as District Five Supervisor, was elected to be San Francisco's Sheriff, only to be suspended from his job, by court stay-away order separated from his wife Eliana Lopez (who moved to her native home Venezuela January 13th, 2012), and all after an New Year's Eve day argument that turned violent enough for Lopez to approach a neighbor named Ivory Madison for assistance. After two months of back-and-forth texts, Ross agreed to meet me for a wide ranging interview conducted at the Royal Ground Coffee Cafe at 2060 Fillmore Street in San Francisco's Pacific Heights on Father's Day. As a note, Ross is a friend of mine, but the issue is extremely serious, so I worked to strike a balance -- get to the core matters of concern without h

Megan Avalon Female Bodybuilder Webcam Fitness Model Featured Video

As of this writing, if you type "fbb" in YouTube, a selection of female bodybuilder videos is presented.  But there's one at the top that's the "featured video" - this one I made of my friend Megan Avalon in 2010. I'm proud to say that it's generated almost a half-million views over that time.  I think what's so popular about it is it's an up close look at fbb, and just as one might see her webcam style. Also, this video, made in Oakland, captures Megan at her buff-est levels of development.  I have always felt that Megan was holding back on the development of her biceps, which are well-defined in this video at 15 inches.  Imagine if they would look like at 17 inches, and how they would accentuate her breasts, which already have been augmented. Just saying.
