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 readingLiberals are very gung-ho for a health care bill that will see the government take over 1/6 of the American economy, that will dramatically raise taxes, that will (if all goes according to plan) destroy private sector insurance, that will force Americans to “buy” insurance or pay a penalty, that

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

It turns out, though, that there are situations in which liberals prefer to avoid the court all together — and will take legislative action to try to avoid it. Those
