WTF!?!
Are we really so far apart that we can't do a City budget??? The Gav vs. The Supes...dunno 4 sure but it seems to me that these people NEED to focus on one thing during the next several years...saving the town from each other's political agendas! Name an area of concern or import to more than one person here and you will have as many opinions and "directions" to pusue in resolving whatever said issues may be!
Okay...so no same sex-marriages...no JROTC...no...WOW!, we are being led by the collective nose by groups of people that profess to "Be working our best interests", yet where is the Champion for Those of Us NOT of "The Gentry?" I remember "Old San Francisco...you know, the Fox, Playland, Herb Caen, The Burton's, Willie(all of them), Alioto, Fine, Moscone and McCarthey...Pols that may, or may not, have taken for their friends and themselves but not so much that there wasn't enough to go around without breaking the bank or the backs of the middle and lower classes.
Look at our City today...a tourist trap! When I was younger Fisherman's Wharf REALLY was a place you would working fishermen...in profusion! Most of the fishermen here now are corporate workers! No more Big Dock work here either! Is sourdough the major industry in our City now??? Nope, tourism! Which means a couple of things...if you own say a motel or a hotel-then you're making money...a chic boutique-you're making money...a mom and pop corner store-you're in trouble! There used to be as many middle class and blue collars here as most other Big Cities...not any longer...The City has taken on the stink of Beverly Hills or La Jolla north...by design!
I am ranting today...I am upset over the way that our Senators have (mis)handled this Big Three (bailout)loan fiasco...union or non-union, it isn't good for any American worker or their corporate slave-masters(in the end)to force conditions on UAW personel that is actually intended to break the union(s)...and to tie in a pay raise for Federal Judges??!!?? WHAT! I am done for today...I am too upset to even write coherently...see me tomorrow...
one thing tho...I saw the new chef at brick last nite...funny...I guess we all like to our own "special" vices but SCAT!?!...lulz
