Published since 2005. San Francisco is a city that belongs to the people of the world. Hence this blog has a global focus. The name "Sam Spade's San Francisco" refers to an exciting era in the City's history, the time of Dashiell Hammett's fictional gumshoe and San Francisco character, Sam Spade. My name is Tom Dunn and I edit the blog. I'm not as exciting as Sam Spade, but I am definitely a San Francisco character.Contact or on Twitter -- Search blog below.

Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House (to be)
Congratulations may soon be in order for Nancy Pelosi. She may become the next Speaker of the House. That would put her two heartbeats away from the Presidency of the United States.
The Mark Foley scandal has captivated the attention of the entire nation. It has made a joke out of the Republican catch-phrase,family values, and it has sent the entire Republican Party into disaster control mode.Very soon the balance of power may shift in the Congress and Nancy Patricia D'Alesandro Pelosi may become Speaker of the House of Representatives.
Congratulations, Nancy!
We owe a particular debt of gratitude to Paul Pelosi, Nancy's husband who met his future-wife at at Trinity College in Washington, DC. It was Paul who convinced Nancy to move back home with him to San Francisco.
Thanks, Paul.
And in a weird sort of way ... thanks also to Dennis Hastert, Tom DeLay, Dick Cheney, Trent Lott, Mark Foley and, of course, George W. Bush ... who by publicly being the kind of people they really are, have collectively crushed the election hopes of the Republican Party.
Keep up the good work, boys.

I hope you're right! Nancy Pelosi would make an exceptional leader in the House. Right now, after a series of Republicans-gone-bad we need someone fresh, different, principled and ethical as Speaker of the House. Nancy Pelosi fits that job description.
