Ah summer is here again

The fickle face of summer has returned to the city by the bay.  It's a very balmy and pleasant 72 degrees with gentle breezes.

The first Lady is having lunch around the corner from us on California Street, raising part of that billion dollars Barack says he's going to raise for his campaign.  Some of our residents are there writing giant checks and getting pictures with Michelle.

John the shoe shine guy is unhappy though because the police ran him off of his normal corner so he's not making any money, stupid politicians.

I took a nice lunch time walk up Montgomery to the Vallejo steps,



up those and down the other side to the Shrine of St. Francis Assisi



and then back down Columbus to work again.  All of the usual strange denizens of San Francisco were out and about, one in a tall top hat, cape and knee high black boots and walking stick, then a crazy homeless guy with his shopping cart parked in the street screaming at everyone who walks by, and many many more.  The city is annoying much of the time but when the sun comes out and you go out walking you are at least guaranteed to see interesting people.  :-)

NBC anti-life?

I would boycott NBC, if I ever watched it that is. I actually never watch anything on the old line networks, NBC, CBS, ABC, FOX. Everything I watch is on the cable only stations... do they still broadcast over the air? Ah well, this story is about the fact that it seems NBC refused to air an ad put together by some Catholic outfit that features an embryo and all of the hardships it faced in early life ending up with the revelation that they were talking about Obama. Here is the ad , check it out and see how unoffensive it is. Like I said, if I watched them I'd quit now. :-/

Wikileaks and police state censorship

I saw an article today on SF Gate about some nit wit Bush appointed Federal Judge ordering a website I'd never heard of called Wikileaks shut down because they were publishing some bank documents from some corrupt Swiss bank. The amusing thing is that they can't actually do it! Even more amusing is that this just draws attention to the site and makes it that much more visible, yay idiot goons! :-) There are mirror sites all over the world and it's almost impossible for thuggish police state goons to figure out how to close off all of the leaks :-) One mirror site is here: http://wikileaks.be/wiki/Wikileaks The US site they tried to close down is still here: http://88.80.13.160 "Cowardice asks the question, 'Is it safe?' Expediency asks the question, 'Is it politic?' Vanity asks the question, 'Is it popular?' But, conscience asks the question, 'Is it right?' And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe,

Viva California! USA out of California Now!

Gene Veith points to a Russian who predicts the breakup the American Empire. Gene is somehow unaware of the dozens of secessionist movements in various states. Granted they are almost all small but still, they exist and this could be a good time for us. Those who know me already understand that I'm a California Nationalist who I doesn't think California should have joined those united States in the first place. Being a part of that empire just costs us money, we get nothing in return. These days we get to be hated by foreigners for being Americans and mocked by Americans for being Californians. Getting us out of the US yesterday would be a day too late as far as I'm concerned.
