Less than three hours after the San Francisco Civil Service Commission reinstated deposed elections chief Tammy Haygood on Monday night, a judge issued a temporary order blocking her return.

As the controversy over the city's first African American elections director hit a new high, Haygood's bosses on the Elections Commission won three days worth of breathing room to prepare for the next big battle -- a court fight over the Elections Commission's right to fire Haygood.

Rush covered this earlier. Words fail me.

What's so hard to understand? The Outs want in and the Ins don't want 'em in, so there's an almighty screeching and striking of postures with attendant lawyerly manuvering. Perfectly straightforward.

Is this summary correct - she was fired after ballot boxes were found floating in the bay after an election, and wants her job back to get money to pay for her husband's sex change operation?

Let me see if I have this straight(?):

The person is a female
The person is black
The person is gay
The person is grossly obese
The person has no qualifications for the job
The job itself has no qualifications
The job is located in San Francisco

The woman was ousted
The woman complained
The court heard the case
The judge was a man
The judge hurt the fat black gay woman's feelings
The judge has to go to reeducation camp
The local bird-dropping mat went online to party

Sounds like business as usual on the Left Coast.
