Oh Dellums...




This is Ronald Vernie Dellums, the all alluring Mayor of Oakland... in a rare moment of actually appearing in public and speaking... wait, Gavin and Arnold were also on hand, so it was positive press.

It appears in his haste to chastise HBO's plan to film it's new series "Gentlemen of Leisure" in Oakland... not wanting it to give Oakland a bad name, like "The Wire" did for Baltimore... he forgot that his son, Erik Dellums - an aspiring actor, has appeared in a half dozen episodes of "The Wire." Oops. According to the Chronicle, his own staffers were caught off guard by this revelation.

Next thing you know, I'll have to get a permit to post this blog...
