AP just reported that the San Diego Mayor is going to step down.  The timing is perhaps curious as a federal investigation is going on there.   One has to wonder whether 1) someone is fingering him; 2) he is talking about others; 3) information is implicating him; or 4) whether the former judge is sick of having to deal with all the issues surrounding the city. Or just maybe it has nothing to do with the federal probe.  Only time will tell.  (see AP wires on Newsday for details).
