“This is what is left of hope in our country,” Daniel Ellsberg

I was opposed to the war in Iraq from the beginning, knowing only good comes from diplomacy, humanity aid and peace. And it costs a Hell of a lot less and solves more problems. But no one would listen. In fact, many called me and my close friends fools. And now it comes to this, veterans getting arrested on the front yard of the White House repeating the same message. Wake up America.

City of SF spending hypocrisy

Apparently Mr. Bragg hasn’t met Mr. Huether

All kinds of money for frivolous shit like monkey crappers, events centers, ski bunny hills, but no raises for the people who maintain our city?! I think this comment says it all;

In general, the municipal employees union was happy with the one-year contract and understands the economic climate. However, it does have concerns with some recent city spending, Magnuson said.

“We are starting to see other money spent in other places, and that’s disturbing to us. We feel that the mayor may be putting money away for the events center and not taking care of employees,” he said.

I wonder if the unions are now regretting their donations to the Huether campaign? Well? Are you?

Discrimination in the military finally ending

At least our wimpy ass legislators in Washington accomplished something during the lame duck session;

WASHINGTON— In a landmark for gay rights, the Senate on Saturday voted to let gays serve openly in the military, giving President Barack Obama the chance to fulfill a campaign promise and repeal the 17-year policy known as “don’t ask, don’t tell.”

Gay rights? More like equal rights. I’m tired of people putting gays in a different category. What they do in their bedroom is none of your business, just like it is none their business what you do in your bedroom. Like my late grandpa Mel said once while bitching about getting a fishing license,

“Pretty soon they are gonna require you to get a license to fuck in your own home.”
