Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Years ago, when I first became aware of the blogosphere, I noticed a single huge dividing line between Progressive and conservative political writers: the former have dirty mouths. Their blogs are filled with references to human waste and human sexual acts, all spelled out in the crudest terms. Interestingly enough,

A quick, and personal, history of San Francisco’s decline from the 1960s to the present I was born and grew up in San Francisco. My very earliest memories of the City just predate the advent of the hippies. At that time, the City was a solid amalgam of working class
Continue readingI don’t know if it’s a local, state or federal tax, but when I go into a restaurant that provides both eat-in and take-out services, I always order take-out, regardless of whether I plan to sit at one of their tables or hit the road. Why? Because the government imposes

Continue readingIt wasn’t a huge turn-out, but it was an imaginative, committed, informed turn-out — and that, in the long run, will matter a great deal. Check out The City Square for photographs of yesterday’s “Sick-In” in San Francisco protesting PelosiCare.

Here’s Zombie’s photo essay on the best signs at the protest in San Francisco last week when Obama came and hid in a fancy hotel,
Continue readingThe news coverage about protests against Barack Obama during his visit to October 15 San Francisco visit was a bit lethargic. It’s just not as much fun, I guess, when the protesters aren’t bad-mouthing Bush or pretending to be waterboarded. However, I can offer you two offsets to that colorless
Continue readingI happen to know, because I gave notice here at this blog and because I’m in touch with the organizers, that large numbers of conservatives and independents were planning on protesting Barack Obama’s appearance in San Francisco. I also know, again because I noted it here, that Obama was afraid

It was even more shaken when it turned out that the murdering rapist was a woman. The San Joaquin County prosecutor’s office today announced that it would seek the death penalty against

The first article is one by a Chron Staff Writer speaking in very derogatory terms about the outrageous City
