Loaded Zone
Hoping for Change
Rather than tossing loose change into a panhandler’s empty cup, San Francisco officials want you instead to slide your spare quarters and nickels into a homeless meter.
...The bright orange meters, donated by the city’s Department of Parking and Traffic, will be scattered along places like Market Street and Van Ness Avenue that typically attract a steady stream of panhandlers every day.
“donated”??!?!?
..."Be a part of change. Don’t give change.”
..."I’d rather give it to a panhandler than put it in a meter personally,” [some damfool “community organizer"] said. “At least if you give it to them personally, you’re going to get a smile."
More likely you’ll get a snarl and a good cussing out.
I think they’d do better to demand bums pay to park their stinky carcasses on the street. Extra in a Poopin’ Zone.
[Previous proposals included:] ...place jars by cash registers in businesses and sell coupons for services that could then be handed over to panhandlers…
equip homeless people with credit-card machines like those used for retail purchases. People could swipe their cards and choose how much to donate, with 80 percent going to homeless programs and 20 percent to the individual panhandlers....
Dang near fool reason-proof, that is.
..."It’s not fair for the government to create this incredible level of poverty and then turn around to the rest of the community and say, ‘Harden your hearts and give the money to us,’ “ [another damfool] said. “Human beings when they see other human beings are going to give a little change, and that’s good.”
But Newsom asked doubters to keep an open mind. He said aggressive panhandling is by far the top complaint he hears from people.
Human beings when they see other human beings are approached by a spitting, swearing gesticulating mad man demanding their “spare change" are going to give a little change throw something at it to make it go away, and that’s good that’s scared.
there. fixed it.

The sale of cigarettes and other tobacco products at drug stores would be illegal in San Francisco if an ordinance introduced this week by Mayor Gavin Newsom wins approval.
“The spirit of this is that pharmacies are places people go to get better,"
Yep. Selling cigarettes in a drug store would be Just Too Ironic To Bear™. Walgreens Vodka, glue, spray paint, nails, Snickers, ice cream and milk slightly past its sell-by date judged not ironic at all…
Erm... Hillary!?
That was flag pin—not frog pin…

Gonna be a loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong Summah
*sigh*
... the Obama rules in detail:
He can’t be called a “liberal” (“the same names and labels they pin on everyone,” as Obama puts it);
his toughness on the war on terror can’t be questioned (“attempts to play on our fears”);
his extreme positions on social issues can’t be exposed (“the same efforts to distract us from the issues that affect our lives” and “turn us against each other”);
and his Chicago background too is off-limits (“pouncing on every gaffe and association and fake controversy”).
Next up in the off-limits olympics:

Suggestions?
reanimation not an option
Apparently Hillary Bobble-heads are selling half off at National Airport—a leading indicator that It’s Over.
Perhaps she could reinvigorate her campaign by adopting some of the Pittsburgh Penguins’ Mike Lang’s goal phrases?

ToDaZeD Culchah WTF?!
TMI
I come from a mining town.
...It’s an interesting man who makes his way to the middle of nowhere seeking his life and fortune. That’s what my grandfather, John Reid, did, when he was drawn to Searchlight from California just after the turn of the century.
...By the turn of the century Searchlight was booming. But reversals come quick. Within a decade, the town was in a serious decline.
...But by the time I came along - December 2, 1939 - the leading industry in my hometown of Searchlight, Nevada, was no longer mining, it was prostitution.
As a boy, I learned to swim at a whorehouse. Nobody in town had ever seen such a fancy inground tiled pool in their lives as the pool at the El Rey. Or any pool at all, for that matter.
...We had a little tree in our yard for a while. It died.

Stop The Presses!!!
Sense written at HuffPopo
A couple of tasty treats to whet your appetite:
Controversial or not, one surely would expect politicians and journalists in every free society to strenuously defend Wilders’ right to make such a film. But then one would be living on another planet, a planet where people do not happily repudiate their most basic freedoms in the name of “religious sensitivity."
...The point is not (and will never be) that some free person spoke, or wrote, or illustrated in such a manner as to inflame the Muslim community. The point is that only the Muslim community is combustible in this way.
...Wherever “moderate Islam” does announce itself, one often discovers frank Islamism lurking just a euphemism or two beneath the surface. The subterfuge is rendered all but invisible to the general public by political correctness, wishful thinking, and “white guilt.”
...And if anyone in this debate can be credibly accused of racism, it is the western apologists and “multiculturalists” who deem Arabs and Muslims too immature to shoulder the responsibilities of civil discourse. As Ayaan Hirsi Ali has pointed out, there is a calamitous form of “affirmative action” at work, especially in western Europe, where Muslim immigrants are systematically exempted from western standards of moral order in the name of paying “respect” to the glaring pathologies in their culture.
Bravo!

Smacked in the head with The Iron
who?
Sen. George McGovern… is urging her to drop out of the Democratic presidential race.
ToDaZeD 0verheard
Sen. Byron Dorgin [D-SD]
It seems as though the Republicans have decided that they want the Democrats to have the White House. Although it seems that the Democrats aren’t quite sure they want it...
It's not just Weather anymore...
do not ask which way it’s blowing!
[TWC anchor Bob Stokes, 50, unrelentingly harrassed co-anchor Hillary Andrews, 38, with charming come-ons like:] “Will you lick my swizzle stick?"
...[He] made crude sexual remarks to her, leered at her chest, and followed her into the women’s dressing room. He also allegedly questioned her “over and over again, non-stop” about her sex life, and once noted, “It tortures me when you wear those heels and skirt."
Not as creepy as Heidi Cullens statement that anyone who disagrees with her on Global Worms oughta have their credentials yanked, sorry but creepy nonetheless.
Here’s a refresher from the founder of The Weather Channel John Coleman:
The science behind your global warming scare is bad and no anthropogenic global warming is happening. Dissenting scientists have now produced convincing evidence that the cornerstone of your scientific argument, increased atmospheric carbon dioxide forcing a rapid, irreversible rise in temperature, is invalid. All of the various “signs of global warming” you have so widely publicized have been proven wrong. They are normal variations in climate that result mostly from the cycles of the Sun. As the Sun cycle has changed in the last three or four years, they have reversed themselves.
... Stop screaming, “The sky is falling.” It is not.
