Son of a plumber from east Austin, Texas, baby! Stardust! The tower of power, too sweet to be sour. Read more

Lawyerly logic is always good for a chuckle: How can Mayor White say his signature on the bankruptcy filing is forged? Look, right there - his signature is clearly on the bankruptcy filing! Read more

“He’s just a basketball player. A basketball player with no rings,” says Mayor Michael Blunt, of Chesilhurst, NJ.

Sacramento resident here. KJ is a shady motherfucker, but most NorCal people are really stupid about stuff like this. See: Barry Bonds. Sure he’s a scumbag but he’s our scumbag so FUCK YOU is the attitude of this whole region. As we keep getting screwed. Read more

Sacramento resident here. Michelle Rhee is the absolute worst. The educational policy folks in town pay lip service to her, but no one really respects her after her DC lies blew up in her face. KJ is a decent mayor, but he needs to quit with his “strong mayor” nonsense. We trust him to shill for us, but we don’t… Read more

“...This is a completely false, defamatory and slanderous assertion and, if you give it any credence by republishing Williams’s assertion, we will be forced to sue you and Deadspin for defamation and slander.”” Read more

Actually KJ took to addressing himself as ‘Baby Barack’ — not ‘Little Obama’ as stated in your article...This was done on Jon Stewart’s show, and it was rather presumptive and pretentious at the time — and now... Read more

Dear God.. so glad to learn that is just oil and not what I thought it might have been.

Someone should mention to Ballard Spahr that defamation against a public figure like KJ takes a level of malice that is impossible to meet when Deadspin is simply giving a fair report of what one person (Williams) has to say about another (KJ); namely, he sent me a text that I thought was an inappropriate booty call… Read more

Great article. Fascinating stuff! I don’t have much to add except that you could always look at this guy and tell he was THAT GUY. He suffers from little man complex to the nth degree (yes I know he’s 6’1” but that’s a little man in the NBA). Read more

I’ve met KJ a few times around town. He really comes off as a womanizing jerk with very misguided priorities. Read more

To be fair, I don’t think Ballard Spahr is necessarily charter-school loving as much as they and every other law firm are money-loving. Read more

I live in Bermuda where one of these Mayor’s conferences was supposed to be held last year, and I'll tell you that at least in my opinion the negative PR campaign against Williams has been effective. However, if I were to take this report to be true, then you can lay the ousting of a mayor in an entirely different… Read more

Yeah he’s an asshole, but with regards to his mayorship he has the right ideas. I lived in Sac for a while and he would like to make it into an actual city instead of a big suburb with the state capitol sitting in the middle. People who have a problem with that shot down the strong mayor initiative and are still… Read more
