#1 Perhaps President Karzai might be called on to intervene.

#2 long, medieval-looking poles

WTF? What makes a pole "medieval-looking"?

(It's all the in the way he dresses...?)

Assemblyman Mark Leno, D-San Francisco, told counterprotesters that while the Gay Pride Parade such fundamentalists may be small in number, "they're loud, they're obnoxious, they're disgusting and they should get out of San Francisco."

NB: If one of us said that about ActUP, Stonewall, or other gay identity groups, we'd be committing a "hate crime".

#3 So, 25K people is "small," eh?

#4 "negatively influence the politics of America's most tolerant and progressive city."

Hmmmmmmmm. Might wanna reword that. Maybe put in the exclusions to the "tolerance and progressive" thing. Just so everybody knows where you stand...
Next time bring Big Giant Puppets instead of long, medieval-looking poles. That'll confuse them. Long, midieval poles have another conotation there...

#5 The rally, which also will visit Detroit and Philadelphia, featured religious rockers, speakers and the debut of what Luce called a Christian alternative to MySpace.com - at advance ticket prices of $55 and walk-up prices of $199.

What the **** is Luce talking about?

#6 Lots of sexual predators hang out in MySpace.com. We've had a couple young girls in our area be enticed into meeting up with a few of them in real life after chatting online via that site.

What Luce wants in place of it I don't know, although I could guess: an online place to meet up that is monitored sufficiently to keep things a bit more wholesome.

#7 This could as well have been a silent rally. The SF loons have given us a very good understanding of how screwed up they are.

My last visit to the Mission District is unforgettable. Streets where curbs are filled with passed out drunks, empty bottles in brown paper bags everywhere.

One particular drunk was passed out underneath a store sign. The store's name is Decadence.

#9 I wonder if these city leaders realize that they live in a city by the name of San Francisco, in a state whose capital is Sacramento, with other cities such as San Diego, Los Angeles, and also Santa Barbara, Santa Monica, and look, there's even San Rafael.

Notice a pattern? Hint: Franciscans.

#10 Does anyone still watch MTV since they stopped playing music videos? I certainly hope that the VH1 Classic still does that, because VH1 is now the "I Love the '80s" channel.

I guess I'm looking forward to "ala carte" cable, at least if I can get more channels that I want.
