Willie Brown to "mediate" between Badlands and ...And Castro for All

According to the Examiner today, Gavin Newsom has called in Willie Brown to "mediate" (which likely means "make go away") between Badlands and ...And Castro for All.

I'm not sure what's likely to happen with this, but I guarantee that we'll hear more accusations that all the folks taking issue with Badlands are part of some evil plot in behalf of Greg Bronstein, another bar owner. That seems to be the strategy of Les Natali and crew: Attack their critics rather than actually focus on the issue (hey, it works for Karl Rove).

I will say, though, that the insistence by the ...And Castro For All folks that Natali "apologize" for calling them (essentially) tools of the other bar owner is perplexing to me. I mean, the guy's a racist sleazeball, who the hell cares what he says?
