Skateboarding In San Francisco

Yesterday while driving on Bush St near Grant Avenue in San Francisco an interesting entertainment occurred. Bush St there is fairly steep. It's also a crowded street of cars and many people in crosswalks.So I'm driving about 25 MPH. A skateboarder passes me!He is swerving from lane to lane as to mitigate his speed. There are no brakes on skateboards. While swerving he's filming with a hand held iPhone.His brain darting from photo taking and navigating the streets ambient traffic along with controlling his speed invites my speculation when he will fall. This is San Francisco and has more attorneys in the Yellow Pages than anything else certainly individually and many other categories combined. I don't want to run over him. Because he is certainly worth more dead to his surviving relatives and acquaintances than alive.To slow his speed to a stop with a fast approaching crowded intersection he must slow down dramatically. To this purpose he lurches his skate board to the left at an almost 45 degree angle. And then back to the right at a similar steep perpendicular angle. He's about 5'8" and weighs app 170 pounds.So the effective weight as per weight multiplied by speed is considerable. Particularly when the skate underpinnings weren't meant for such torque on a crumbly pavement. But he made it. Just in time to exit the street via a handicap ramp in place on the sidewalk.Could be prophetic.

Angela Alioto Represents San Francisco Values

Civil Rights Attorney Angela Alioto is running again. No.It's not from her past. She should.But as a attorney/politician/czar of the homeless people in San Francisco/champion of freaks in the LGBT community/poster shrew for cause celebre San Francisco minorities who she represents on contingency to shake down legal citizens who were just trying to run a business.Ang is running for County Central Committee of the democratic party.She says, " I represent san Francisco values". Oh.What are those values today?Any new illegals crossed into S.F City and County border that we have to change settled law so they can be shoe horned in? Or was a new LGBT stem cell petri dish life form developed and was patented by Castro Street Partners LLC for their plan to become a majority?Or does she want to push voting rights be attached to birth certificates with the provision that parents can vote for the infant until he/she/it becomes 18.That birth right voter registration would naturally select for cause celebre minorities which vote for people like Ang. There is a connection between San Francisco values and being born.If you were born yesterday San Francisco values are very comfortable.

Airbnb Crowds Out First Time Home Buyers And Renters

Home ownership is increasingly elusive. Whether it be the higher credit score needed or increased down payment or income to expense ratios that are in stone. But before all those hurdles the biggest hurdle of all is the melt up of home prices facilitated by easy money Fed policies. Easy for whom? Hedge funds with access to credit markets are now more than ever before to be the cash buyer of homes. They in turn either flip it or rent it. No way is the money manager going to move in.Now comes Airbnb. Similar to a geeky chimera of Genghis Kahn it changes the calculus of home ownership for an individual and puts home ownership out for bidding against the prospect of renting a home out to OUT OF TOWNERS. For example San Francisco real estate already exalted receives another bubble boost of effectively promising an extra income possibility. Under the new math possibility a typical one bedroom can be rented for $200 per night-roughly $6000 per month income.But the mortgage and expenses add up to only $3000-4000 per month.Looks like a good deal to the new class of Airbnb inspired who are similar to a somewhat humane Great Kahn's roving horde. These newly rich buyers who wouldn't think of living in a one bedroom now salute Airbnb. Genghis Kahn had his mandarins albeit on horseback. Do you think that G.K.'s pals could preemptively deal themselves in on Kahn's droppings at the feasting table and scope possibilities and position themselves appropriately? But where does that money come from? There so much money in circulation that finding places to store it can be a problem.

Airbnb San Francisco: Make Yourself At Home And Don't Worry About The Neighbors

Airbnb is rolling out in San Francisco. San Francisco, where people leave their hearts and find new experiences.The night life that carries over to the next day is more apt to happen here than any other swinging city. Meet new people. Have a ball.Raise the roof. But what about the neighbors? Don't give it a thought. Airbnb has the fix in at a politically friendly City Hall. Already the Planning Commission is rolling back decades old common sense residential neighborhood conforming codes so Airbnb can bring out-of-towners into the serenity of quiet neighborhoods.Parking? Not a problem. Use what's available.Screw the block.Who are the neighbors going to complain to? There's no front desk at Airbnbn rentals. Late party noise? So what. Airbnb has no clerk standing by to hear complaints.What's a neighbor who has lived there for years to do to these yahoo's from out-of-town? Knock on the door and tell them to be quiet? Well that could be the beginning of a vigilante event but only if it's backed up by some credible threat. It's not old fashion, " A man's home is his castle." Sounds like a good plea of self defense in court.

Mama Pelosi's Big Tits And Her Progressive Policies

Oh those big tits of House Democratic Minority Leader and former Madame Speaker, San Francisco's own Nancy Pelosi. In metaphor and maybe incarnation, she can nurse all. But she chooses only ultra -liberal and progressive minorities to suckle. The trite poppy cock nursers are the latest ,newest disenfranchised that are held up to the rest of us as examples of cause celebre that we are told we must long for their just respects before we can breathe easier in America. She started her political career by favoring Chinese voters in S.F. How? She argued for human rights in mainland China. It was 12,000 miles away. But the Chinese here got the message. Vote for Nancy and she will work to get your relatives to come to the Bay Area. From there she helped illegal Mexicans to stay comfortably in "sanctuary city" San Francisco. Presently she champions gays, lesbians, bisexuals, transgenders and soon-to-be-named additional offshoots of that queer tree when and if the new sub species can be properly identified and named to the pantheon of odd balls. Mama Pelosi's parents are dead. She was not a product of surrogate birth by way of a homosexual relationship. So why the need to empty herself of her mothers milk to support gays, Chinese and illegal Mexicans? It's about money and power. This Lady Madonna has to eat .

America's Cup: Money And Ego Sinks Competitors In San Francisco Bay

In 1851 the America's Cup competition started. Originally it was a contest between us and the Brits. The original boats were magnificent single hulled things with a large keel for stability. The boats raced offshore in open ocean conditions. The results were necessarily a slower race and largely out of view except for devotees who sailed into the vicinity and made a grand day of it. The spectacle  was worthy of oil painting and indeed it was with renditions commanding six and seven figure price tags in todays auctions..

Enter super Jew Larry Ellison. He founded Oracle Software and finances Team Oracle in America's Cup current competition . Due in part to his instigation, today the competitors use double-hull catamarans which do not have a keel. Also in part to his influence the race venue was changed from open ocean sailing to a competition that took place in San Francisco Bay. The bay is infamous for its strong cross currents and changeable strong winds. Larry wanted to make the event faster and more dangerous so spectators would be thrilled in a closer-viewed situation. Maybe he also wanted the giant Oracle logo on the sails to better noticed also?

Long story short, today The Wall Street Journal is carrying a post mortem story on Andrew " Bart" Simpson who died Thursday. he was the skipper of Team Artemis. In a nautical tactic called a "bear away" where the boat turns away from the oncoming wind, the boat capsized and killed Simpson outright. The other ten crew members were hurled into the bay but immediately rescued. Tricky tactics in strong winded cross current bays without a keel made this accident possible. It was completely avoidable according to WSJ questioned race participants. It was the design change and venue change that caused the accident. The WSJ contacted Ellison's spokeswoman about any comment that Larry Ellison had on the death. She declined to comment.

Seems Larry's cup, that personally runneth over, didn't have enough to spill one drop of condolence.

Obama Is Giving Me Nightmares.

Last night I awoke from a nightmare. I was dreaming my classic chestnut tabby short hair pet cat was wanted for questioning by the San Francisco police and she also had a call waiting from Schwab & Co.to cure a margin call on a bad bet in gold. futures. What was happening? Could it be another four years of Obama that was the real problem? My cat doesn't deal in gold futures and certainly the S.F. police don't pick on that soft a target at this point. It had to be the impending inauguration this coming Monday. Obama will be sworn in again. And for another four years his supporters will be required to pretend to be stupid or demand more money to be bought off or in the case of his true believers just be themselves and be naturally stupid.

We have reached a point in America after 40 plus years of the implementation of the Civil Rights Act of 1965  that pretending to be stupid or actually being stupid has allowed affirmative action darkies to pass for normal and in Obama's case rise to the highest elected office in the land. What's next? Right now it's another four for the social worker attorney from Chicago. I think the only cure for the 1965 Civil Rights Act and zombies like Obama is a bankruptcy of the country. At least then we will have to ask a not stupid question of ourselves, " Can we afford equality made workable by pretending to be stupid?"

If SFUSD Is The Face Of The Future, We're Doomed.

Last night, I tuned into the local TV feed of a San Francisco Unified School District Board meeting. It was certainly educational. But the Board didn't talk about education. It talked about a lack of diversity in SF classrooms. The acting chairwoman was bemaoaning the fact of an overwhelming majority of African-Americans, Hispanics and Somoans filling the desks (some of the 5th grader Somoans really fill the desks because of their obesity). Those three races in one classroom sounds like a diversity from hell. The African Americans would walk around the class while the Samoans would sleep and the Hispanics would be texting their  plans for their next holdup.

The attendance was sparse. This was inspite of free interpretors being offered at the meeting which included Arab, Vietnamese, Samoan, Russian, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Spanish and Tagalog (Flipapino). Only 2 white guys addressed the Board and complained about their children being bussed across town to dangerous neighborhoods for schooling. They wanted to know why they couldn't use the schools in their neighbohoods. The Chair didn't answer that question.

Just another day in the SFUSD. Everybody talks but nobody listens.

Presidential Medal Of Freedom: Harvey Milk

Yesterday President Obama awarded a Medal of Freedom  to sixteen diverse recipients. Included was San Francisco Supervisor, homosexual activist Harvey Milk who was assassinated in 1978.Milk did much to spread the homosexual movement. Of course HIV/AIDS infections and deaths tracked his questionable "progress" with gruesome statistics.

Nazi Germany targeted homosexuals. America gives homosexuals awards. Neither is appropriate.

Mayor Newsom Has Plans For New Child

San Francisco's First Couple have announced they are in a family way. A spokesperson for Gavin and Jennifer Newsom made the public announcement.

In keeping with Gav's antisocial personality and refusing to be bound by the norms of convention, the Mayor's spokeperson held the briefing in a slum part of San Francisco called the Tenderloin at 2 AM early yesterday morning. Here is the announcement.

"Good morning. The Mayor and his wife want the voters of San Francisco and California to know that the couple will have a child. Jennifer and Gavin admit to an artificial insemination procedure . This was a compromise to leaders of the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community who were consulted before the decision by Gavin and Jennifer to have a child. Gays were adamant that the impregnating be done artificially so the icon status of Gav The Liberator would remain intact. This lines up well with Greek mythologys Athena being the Warrior Virgin. The Mayor and his wife have signed a memorandum of understanding with the gay, lesbian,bisexual and transgender community that the child will be raised alternately by nannies and nannos and none of the above. Fondling will be encouraged as a sensitive exposure to other life styles. In a jesture to broaden his political base and reach out to other groups in San Franciscos community, Gavin has promised to include a breakfast with his child to random arrested people the night before although Gav and Jenn will not be there. The childs nursery will have blunted needles from the Citys needle exchange program so the child will know how to cope with a walk in one of the City's parks. The childs name will be New Age. The effort will try to keep the letters in the first name to under 17 but also incude enough references to multicultural voter base. And to sum up the prenatal announcement Gav and Jenn want all to know how grateful they are for the well wishes and that they are discussing a divorce. Thank you and good morning."

Moderation As A Goal

Too much of anything is bad.

Too much credit led to home buyers having only to sign a contract to assume title to multi-hundreds of thousand dollar houses. Even the stock buyers that led to the Crash of '29 had to put down at least 10%. And so todays foreclosures and credit crunch are a direct result of criminally-loose credit requirements.

Too many laws lead to a forsaking of the spirit of laws to a following of the fine points of laws or what is not technically covered. Consider San Francisco's legal profession community . Attorneys in S.F. take up 42 pages of fine print in the Yellow Pages. In contrast there are only 6 pages of electricians. And what do we get for all this legal "protection" from these roving hyenas? We get a "sanctuary city" where young, illegal, criminal immigrants are are allowed to grow up shielded from federal law enforcement so they can commit adult crimes. A society can exist with a spirit of fair play but not with a conniving legal- law-breaking mentality.

Too much concentration on national defense leads seamlessly to a C.I.A. that foments trouble that leads to war on a proactive and preemptive base. Better to spend military money on infrastructure improvement. Less opportunity for mischief.

Moderate is better than too much.

San Francisco's Separate Evolution

San Francisco's enduring appeal and source of wealth comes from its limited geographical space, westerly winds from the nearby ocean and a moderate temperture. S.F.'s evolution is a metaphor for the unique experience of the Galapagos Islands. Both were removed from the norms of mainstream evolution and thus fostered a range of oddities. The Islands produced singular flora and fauna. The City produced a singular "culture".

There has been a rash of initiatives proposed by the Mayor and the Board of Supervisors. One proposal would bar the eating of trans fat. But if one wants to salivate on a fat transgender during the Gay Pride Parade, that's O.K. Another proposal is "no smoking in public." But if its mirajuana or you need a fresh needle for your heroin addiction the City will tell where to go. The latest proposal is to dispatch "garbage police" to make sure people know the difference between garbage and recycables. This is the city that promotes sodomy implying its preferance for garbage over new.

An older evolutionary step that has turned into a public misstep was the "santuary city" policy. Recently a City valued sanctuary citizen murdered a father and his 2 children over a traffic right of way dispute. It turns out the "sanctuary citizen" was an illegal immigrant felon who was released on a prior suspected felony without being reported to the Federal immigration authorities.

As long as the geographical facts remain in place and the flow of money that follows continues we can all look forward to more of the same. Except the fact that when someone or some City doesn't differentiate from hygienic and non-hygienic sexual practices a new evolutionary player enters the scene. One that kills-AIDS.

Sanctuary City: Where Brats Attract Brats

San Francisco's sanctuary city policy is at best bratty and ill-mannered . At worst it's a government sponsored criminal- enterprise that aids law breakers to avoid justice. The ultra-liberal city policy flows from the cities wealth. Mayor Newsom didn't formulate the policy. But he's certainly the incarnation of an overindulgent brat. He's the product of a no-talent family who's only achievement was to have parlayed Gordon Getty's windfall inheritance money into a political family business. Gav's the upside of a ultra-liberal philosphy that is created by the power of money.

The downside of a bratty and ill-mannerd sanctuary city philosophy was recently recorded. Suspected murderer Edwin Ramos is thought to have senselessly killed Tony Bologna and his 2 sons over a right of way traffic problem. It turns out that bratty Ramos had a long criminal record and could have been deported long ago if the cities policies were not skewed to helping the undeserving.

Newsom is a brat for ignoring the law. Ramos is a brat for ignoring the law.

Mayor Newsom Spends Too Much Time On Wrong Holes

Yesterday Mayor Gavin Newsom squeakly proclaimed from his pencil-neck, " My god, this [same-sex marriage court ruling] is now bigger than San Francisco". The crowd gushed. And so Newsless let slip his personal joy of being freed from the pedestrian jobs of a local mayor. He was back on the national stage. He was "bigger than General Motors".

Hey Newsless, all politics are local. Sure there are many homosexuals in San Francisco. But I wonder how many would rather trade in marriage possibilities for a Golden Gate Park that was not a private reserve for bums? How about fixing holes in the streets instead of right of way for cannubial sodomy or cunnilingus? How about plugging holes in the budget and fixing gaps in sound city business regulations so heterosexuals and homosexuals alike can help plan for a secure future?

Newsless wants to leave this to the next administration. And so it will be left for others to clean up. Just like the spread of AIDS and sexually transmitted diseases will be left to mother nature inspite of Newsless' stamping his foot about discrimination.

Mayor Gavin Newsom: Counterculture Alien

" What kind of government do you have in America?" . It was said that was the first question 19th century Irish immigrants asked when arriving on U.S. soil. And before they got an answer, the Irish immigrant would declare, "Because I'm again' it".

Meet Mayor Gavin Newsom. He's a line-bred hard-headed Irish politician who is pissing on San Francisco and American culture. Undaunted by his homosexual marriage fiasco, he now is now taking the "sanctuary city"status of San Francisco to a new lower level. I.E. despite a weak economy and looming city employee cuts and cuts in services to legal residents and an increase in parking fees and a decrease in dining out because of the City's health insurance tax etc. the mayor wants to spend $83,000.00 to reach out to prospective illegals. He will advertise in various languages including, Chinese, Russian, Hispanic, Vietnamese and English what the City has to offer for free and without the worry of being turned into the Federal immigration authorities.

San Francisco is one of the most expensive cities to live. Where will the illegals live and work? The mayor's sense of timing must be making the demcratic leadership in the state and the country very nervous. His homosexual marriage initiative was part of the reason that Bush got elected a second time. Newsom is a much an illegal alien as the folks he invites to come to the city. He doesn't respect the laws and culture of the City and the nation.

I'm reminded of our former Mayor George Moscone, a degenerate also but he was of Italian heritage, and his fate at the hands of assassin Dan White. It was refreshing.

San Francisco Low-Riders & Potholes

According to TRIP , a Washington,D.C. based transportation consultant, San Francisco automobile operators pay on average an extra $ 761.00 per year from the damaging effects of potholes on tires and chassis.

Potholes are no longer an appropriate description of some experiences that I've had. Just last week I drove over what could be called an arroyo. The City has a budget of app. $6 billion. So what about fixing the potholes in our "sanctuary city"? That will bring back the low-riders that are preferred by our illegal hispanics. This way our politically correct Board Of Stupidvisors can make the illegal greaseballs feel comfortable in their getaway cars .

San Francisco Supervisors O K $ 1,000,000 Wheelchair Ramp

S.F.'s Board of Supervisors thinks that $ 1,000,000 is a reasonable and a appropriate price for a ramp to be built in their chambers. The ramp is only 10 feet long and is being constructed to enable disabled supervisors access to the elevated President of Supervisors podium.

Why so much money? What about our Department Of Public Works personnel? Surely these overpaid city employees could construct a ramp. The DPW people could still mostly lean on their tools or set in their trucks while the designated worker for that week could still call "Quitin' time" when lunch was ready. And they would still be cheaper.

As for "enabling disabled supervisors ", don't they have too much "enabling" power already? This ramp is the latest example. This ramp is yet another symbolic gesture against discrimination in public or private life. This slanted ramp is the equalizer. It's a contradiction in terms besides being too expensive.

Discrimination should be fostered. Critical thinking should be encouraged. How else will we ALL learn to live within a budget and capabilities?
