Stuff That Caught My Eye

Gay marriage proponents are trying to get the California Supreme Court to strike the amendment from the ballot in November. They claim that the amendment is so severe that it should require Legislative approval before going before voters. And, that it should then require 2/3 voter approval. That’s the way Massachusetts does it, and why [...]

NYC Follows SF and Bans Bottled Water

The NYC City Council today banned the used of bottled water for city purposes. Good for you Gavin Newsom for setting a precedent that others have followed:
The City Council has become the latest government agency to take a stand against bottled water.
Last week, the speaker’s office announced that it would stop buying bottled water for [...]

Want to Blow a Marine?

This is pure genius. A prankster cleverly places a photo of a marine creating a whole new advertisement. The original ad read: “Been Down on a Submarine Lately?” The new ad reads: “Been Down on a Marine Lately?”
Fucking Brilliant!

San Francisco Values Redux

Sam Graves has a new attack ad out against Kay Barnes. This one is hilarious. It goes so far as to claim that Kay Barnes wants to extend the California gay marriage ruling to Missouri.

Thanks to AB for calling this one to my attention.

San Francisco Values

Check out this video my friend AB sent to me yesterday. The GOP is running it against Kay Barnes in Missouri. It’s pretty annoying. In the commercial, San Francisco values are trashed. They do this by showing a white girl being lured into the debaucherous party lifestyle by two African Americans… gasp! They’re coming for [...]

MRSA Highly Prevalent in Castro

So get this: There’s a highly-resistant strain of MRSA that’s spreading through SF. Technically it can be transmitted just by making non-sexual skin contact with someone. But, because it’s now spreading like wildfire in urban gay communities and in body parts like buttocks and penises, it may also soon be considered an STD.
Check out [...]

9th Circuit Rules in Favor of SF Health Care Plan

Sometimes the will of the voters is heard, despite the heavy influence and resistance of businesses. Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled today in favor of the city’s plan that would require employers to either offer their employees health coverage, or pay a fee to the city to help fund health care coverage for [...]

SF Anti-War Rally

I went to the SF Anti-War Rally this weekend in San Francisco. Besides being critical of the multi-issue nature of the event, I was impressed with the turnout and the atmosphere of activism.
I thought it was odd to have speakers rallying for a host of issues such as, Free Mumia, Workers Rights, Immigration Rights, Native [...]
