Attention 1960s Lefty BS’ers! NO ONE CARES What You Think! Obama’s WAY Past Y’all…

Posted on July 14, 2008 by | Leave a comment

Wanna know why I voted for Obama? It ain’t whatcha think….
No really.
See, I voted for Obama as someone subjected to the inane bullsh*t that was 90’s Liberalism On Campus (at UC Hippie Dipsh*t Santa Cruz no less!), that whole big basket of irrational PC bullsnot that was all about nonsense that made even the most liberally liberal wanna vote Republican, just to piss off the arrogant, lying, snotbags on campus.
Anyway.
So when I hear about Failure Ralph Nader (and his FAIL pal Matt Gonzalez) upset that apparently two whites can determine what a black man can say, or hear about Jesse Jetstream go on about how he’s pissed that Obama thinks folks should act like responsible adults, well guess what?
I’m GLAD he’s pissed these failure-eating morons off. I’m REALLY GLAD.
Because as he did in his speech on race, he said what was REALLY on people’s minds. And more importantly, he said “hey guess what white people? you have legitimate greivances too, and you’re not a bad person for saying so!”
More to the point, Barack Obama thinks it’s time to get past all this crapola. Because India and China figured out how to, and are about to kick our butts if we’re not careful. But Barack, being a true American, believes…”yes we can!”
Yes, we can Kick Ass on these folks if we choose to.
If….we choose.

Burning Man, Shmurning Man – I’m Going to Nerdvana! With a Press Pass!

Posted on July 11, 2008 by | Leave a comment

It’s lunchtime so I have a few minutes to post a short post…and since it’s Friday, no snooty snarky politics for me today…instead I’m going to let the nerd side express itself here as I have some news…not only am I going to the San Diego Comic-Con, I’ve got a press pass, thanks to the cool folks who run Galactica SitRep!

I don’t usually go to conventions – in fact although I enjoyed Battlestar Galactica (and have written about it for years now), when it comes to sci-fi, anime, movies of the Hollywood variety, and TV, I don’t automatically jump on the bandwagon of the latest Nerd Thing. In fact, despite my “nerd cred,” I really don’t like a good amount of what’s out there simply because it’s boring or juvenile.

However, I wanted to take a vacation to somewhere different this year, and when the chance came to go to Comic-Con, which boasts 3x as many attendees as Burning Man (and has air conditioning), I decided to go, mostly because this will be the biggest one yet, and every major studio will be there, promoting various projects.

And, I figured it might be fun also, since I’ve been making a few pennies here and there with my Adama for President website. (In an unprecedented act of fanboy antics, I actually shipped some to the set in Vancouver for the cast and they actually got ’em! Woo hoo!)

I haven’t decided where I’ll post all my live reports, aside from at SitRep, so stay tuned. Anyone else going? If so, let me know, and we’ll see you there!

PS: I know I give the BM thing a hard time but if that’s someone’s thing, hey that’s great and they should totally be in to it and have fun. I’m just a bit tired of the BM people giving folks like me a hard time about our big party with costumed folks and whatnots, esp. since ours has a/c and celebrities.

Tables Turned on Turncoats: The Chron Makes a Point about the Gonzalez/Nader Ticket…

Posted on July 2, 2008 by | Leave a comment

mn_green_party_gonzalez.jpg
Chalk one up for the Chronicle’s Carla Marinucci for calling BS on Mr. Magical Matt: she takes the Gonzalez/Nader ticket to task for once again deciding they, and they alone can determine what an African American candidate is allowed to talk about.
She brings up a number of issues Magical Matt doesn’t like to talk about. I guess when you talk about all sorts of high minded ideals, it’s ok if you’re shady – after all, it’s not like Nader’s union busting, fundraising practices and the like ever get questioned by the followers of St. Ralph.

Matt Gonzalez’s Running Mate a Racially Insenstive Boor? Or Just a Garden Variety Jerk?

Posted on June 25, 2008 by | Leave a comment

Once again, the primal scream lefties show just how ridiculous, and how full of white self-entitlement they are….it seems Matt Gonzalez’s running mate, Ralph Nader, offered some of his oh-so-brilliant insight into the Obama candidiacy:

“He wants to show that he is not a threatening . . . another politically threatening African-American politician. He wants to appeal to white guilt. You appeal to white guilt not by coming on as black is beautiful, black is powerful. Basically he’s coming on as someone who is not going to threaten the white power structure, whether it’s corporate or whether it’s simply oligarchic. And they love it. Whites just eat it up.”

(Obama’s folks served him a dose of STFU good and hard within hours, to their credit.)
Wow. Class act, that Ralphie. Now, if a conservative person said this I’m sure we’d hear all sorts of outrage from the so-called “progressives,” but I guess if a washed-out white liberal guy who isn’t even on the ballot in most (or any) states, I guess it’s ok.
No word on if Magical Matt endorses this Ferraro-like outburst. Funny how local progressives, and local Green elected officials (what few are left) who know Matt and Nader the best are supporting Obama this time around.

I Nominate Christian Bale to Play Gavin Newsom in “Gavin Newsom: The Movie!”

Posted on June 24, 2008 by | Leave a comment

While watching Yet Another Viral Marketing Piece for The Dark Knight, I became firmly convinced that when they make “Gavin Newsom, the Movie” they should get Christian Bale to play Our Mayor.
Now that that’s settled, it’s time to cast the rest of our Cast O’ Characters! Who would you have play Supervisor Aaron Peskin? Or Supervisor Chris Daly? Or Any of the Supervisors? Or City Attorney Dennis Herrerra? Kamala Harris? Our many talented and funny bloggers about town? Or the cast of 100s in supporting roles in City Hall?
San Francisco is full of smart, creative people. So post your suggestions in the comments and have fun!

Cindy Sheehan’s Spam Emails Go Too Far…

Posted on June 20, 2008 by | Leave a comment

I dislike even mentioning Cindy Sheehan’s primal scream campaign, but her latest spam email she blasted out today was over the top, even for her and her band of angry, unlikeable partisans.

I’m no fan of President Bush’s failed policies myself, and looking at the polls it seems most people around the country, not just in So-Called Liberal SF, agree.

However, using images of Hitler, along with the many other histrionic spam emails and the like from Ms. Sheehan and her crew, have so turned me off whatever she’s saying or doing, I’ll happily vote for Speaker Pelosi.

Plus, there’s that giant hole in her impeachment “logic” that one could drive an 18-wheeler through, but the Politics of Intense Feelings, reality doesn’t seem to matter much.

Oh well.

Disinfo Rehab Emergency Edition: Newsom and The Chron and “Free” Wifi

Posted on June 12, 2008 by | Leave a comment

Give the Mayor’s team some credit – at least they know how to use a compliant press to their advantage. This morning, readers were treated to an interesting article about free wifi in San Francisco by private company Meraki – and Mayor Newsom was there, taking all the credit for it.
Even though, of course, Meraki is a private company, and unless the Mayor moonlights as a salesman for Meraki’s repeaters, no one at City Hall did a thing to build Meraki’s wifi networks in the Mission, Noe Valley and Bernal Heights for a couple of years now. (Note to the Chronicle – use The Google to find out these things!)
Instead, this was a chance for the Mayor to Look and Sound Good for the run for Governor, hang out at an SRO, and use the event for what it was really for – repeating loud and clear that “the board of supervisors sucks” and the failed wifi deal as another example of it.
There’s just one problem with this hit – if we had gone along with the Earthlink deal the Mayor was pimping, we’d be totally hosed right now. Earthlink decided some time ago that “Muni WiFI” was not a good business to be in, and has left cities around the country (such as New Orleans and Milpitas, to name a few) high and dry. So in this case, some scrutiny from the Board, instead of a Napoleonic Council rubberstamping Mr. Gavin’s edicts, was a good thing.
The funniest part of the story is of course the rogues’ gallery known as the Chronicle “Comments” section, where the politically correct thugs get together to troll the story to death with their wit and brilliance. The funniest was how angry some people got at the thought of an SRO having an antenna on top – and how misniformed most of these people were in general!
All in all a good day for the Mayor’s team, though, as “facts” didn’t get in the way of a hit on the Board. It is going to be a long summer for Campaign 2008 – and just wait for the avalanche of crappy mail to hit your mailbox this fall. Hopefully they’ll avoid the graphic design tragedy that was the Yes on J sign….

A Question for the Pelosi Haters, and the Political Primal Screamers Re: Impeachment…

Posted on June 10, 2008 by | Leave a comment

Senate Republicans successfully blocked an attempt to tax oil companies at a time when the oil companies are making record profits, and EVERYONE is pissed about $4 and $5 a gallon gas prices. EVERYONE. Blue state, Red state, whatever. And it’s having an effect on businesses, big and small. Yet they still blocked it.
What on earth makes you think if by some miracle articles of impeachment were passed that it would ever make it through the Senate?
Think it through. Think about it long and hard. Come on now…
PS: Oh and if all the Republicans in the Senate bowed to your wisdom, you do realize that Speaker Pelosi, whom you bash on repeatedly with your drums and whatnots….would become President as she’s third in line to succession.
PPS: Oh, and this assumes you can somehow manage to pass the Articles of Impeachment, have a successful Senate trial, AND somehow force out two executives who have never shown a reluctance to use their power to do whatever they want, people be darned, AND DO SO BEFORE THE NOVEMBER ELECTION!
Eeeyeah. And yet, in San Francisco, I’m the one called crazy when I bring these bothersome facts up. Ah well.

IRV/RCV Backers Bash Me at the LA Times! Woo Hoo!

Posted on June 9, 2008 by | Leave a comment

When I compare the pageview statistics for this site vs. The N Judah Chronicles, or even Adama for President, I more or less figure that this site is read by me, my friends, and the occaisional person who googles something or sees a link at someone else’s site, and that’s it.
Thus, it was hilarious to read the LA times Blog today and see not one, but two random commenters bashing me because I don’t worship at the altar of “Ranked Choice Voting” (or “Instant Runoff Voting”) without question. Um, what?
You really can’t have a reality-based discussion on this issue – the people pushing it are so jihad-like in their fervor, they can’t accept any opposing views (or even suggestions to make it better). They don’t like questions being asked, or suggestions that it isn’t the Only Way To Make Elections Work. All they know is attack attack attack. You wonder if these people ever achieved real power if we wouldn’t have “Thought Police” to knock down your door if you don’t adhere to the Party Line. Ah well.
They certainly don’t like the fact that RCV/IRV had no real impact in most recent elections, and instead spend their time calling me names (kinda like a 9-year old might in the schoolyard), or distorting things I’ve said to suit their needs. Who knew my little political blog had so much influence I still get hate mail from these children? The mind reels at the kind of power I could be wielding with this thing (even if most people would rather talk MUNI or Adama).
Which is fine. You can read everything I’ve written about gimmicky “reforms” for yourself and decide on your own what to think. Personally I’m glad the hatahs are linking back to the site – more ad revenue and more pageviews for the site. Thanks guys!
PS: This just reaffirms once again why people don’t like leftists, or frankly any ideological extremists. They’re so intent on demanding absolute loyalty, without any hint of dissent, they become really nasty people to be around. News flash, people: being jerks doesn’t help your cause – try being a little nicer and people respond in kind. It seems to work for Obama and even McCain, you can have your principles and brown rice, and still be cool.

DNC Chair Howard Dean is in Millbrae on Friday, the 13th. Discuss.

Posted on June 9, 2008 by | Leave a comment

This might be interesting: Dr. Howard Dean, chair of the Democratic National Committee is in town on Friday the 13th (!) for an executive board meeting of the state’s party. The folks at Calitics cover this in WAY more depth than I.
It was only 3 years ago that Dr. Dean was running for Chair of the Party, and there were all sorts of dire warnings if he won. Three years later, and Dean’s plan to actually work in all 50 states has paid off somewhat. And much of the internet/grassroots organizing of Dean evolved into what would later become Sen. Obama’s campaign.
If you’re a registered Democrat and want to stop by the proceedings, you can stop by the Westin SFO, located at 1 Old Bayshore Highway, in Millbrae, just off of 101, and not too far from the BART/Caltrain station. They ask for a $20 donation if you’re not an e-board member, but remember, that’s just what they ask. Unless you’re doing something really outlandish, they don’t mind Democrats watching the oh-so-thrilling proceedings.
