The mayor of Sacramento is Kevin Johnson, a former pro basketball player in the NBA.

He was at a charity event, when a political activist decided that would be a good time to hit the mayor in the face with a cream pie. Coconut if you're keeping track. Well, Mayor Johnson, as you might expect, took exception and not only tackled the pie guy but got in a punch or two.

The pie-thrower, Sean Thompson, says the mayor overreacted. It's unclear whether that was before or after getting a few stitches. Oh, he also faces charges of assaulting a public official.

Our early election polls project Mayor Johnson in a landslide the next time around.   DB
