• CA-10 Candidate Anthony Woods appeared on CNN to discuss Don't Ask, Don't Tell (right). Incidentally, if you are in SF and would like to meet both Tony and Lt. Dan Choi, why not come to this fundraiser on June 29. You can find the ActBlue page here. Both will also be at the Alice B. Toklas LGBT Democratic Club Annual Pride Fundraising Breakfast. Methinks everybody will be interested in coming to both events!

• Asm. Paul Fong (D-Mountain View} is working to get an apology from the state to the Chinese population it treated terribly in the early part of the 20th Century.

• The always exciting CalBuzz Friday Fishwrap has got news on the budget, and ahem...other matters.

• A sign of the times: the Sierra Pacific sawmill is shutting down. That being said, the mill is not without its share of controversy.

• PPIC says enterprise zones haven't been all that effective.
