There's nothing happy in San Francisco

With the nation mired in a bad recession, high unemployment and a government spending us into the poor house it’s always nice to reflect on the real problems of America. By real problems, I mean pointless stuff that people find concerning.

Pardoning Jim Morrison: Jim Morrison died in 1971, but Florida Governor Charlie Crist is thinking about pardoning the rock star for a lewd incident that took place in Miami back in the sixties. When asked about the potential pardon Governor Crist said, “Anything is possible.” When Charlie Crist says “anything is possible” he probably means it.

The Walking Nude: At Caspersen Beach in Venice, Florida a woman is up in arms about a nude beach. Evidently, this remote area has long been a gathering place for the “nude community,” but it looks like they’ve crossed paths with the wrong woman.

Elsa Dempsey has seen a penis and she will never be the same. One day while taking a walk down a remote area of Venice, Florida’s Caspersen Beach she encountered a man swimming in the water completely nude. She was so startled by the site of a stranger’s junk she’s now embarked on a one-woman campaign to crack down on naturists gathering sans clothes near the sand. She even has flyers! Meanwhile, all the nudists want is a small sliver of designated sand like Miami’s Haulover to let it all hang out.

I have to wonder if Elsa Dempsey is truly disturbed or if she’s just into seeing naked people. I mean if she’s really so bothered by it why is she confronting them?

The Crying Game: In San Francisco it’s usually everything goes. The city is known for its liberal tolerance of every behavior, except eating the famous McDonalds’ Happy Meal. The nanny state fascists disguised and well intentioned lawmakers have passed a law banning Happy Meals… for the children. You can abort as many kids you want in the city of San Francisco but by God don’t feed one a Happy Meal.  The new law has been applauded throughout the United States by brainless morons who believe it’s the government’s job to decide what fast food restaurants serve. When I was a kid my parents wouldn’t let me eat at McDonald’s. Who needs parents if you have the state to take care of you?

Food for thought. Would the city of San Francisco be more tolerant of Happy Meals if McDonald’s renamed them something more progressive? Something like “Gay Meals?”

San Francisco’s Dry Totalitarianism

On April 29, 2010, in Immigration, by Henshaw

There aren’t many places in the United States more liberal than San Francisco. The city by the bay’s mayor, Gavin Newsom, has reacted to the immigration law in Arizona like any illogical liberal would: by creating a moratorium on official travel to Arizona. What’s next? Fining citizens for traveling to Georgia? We all know traveling to Georgia is a racist act, if not just downright foolish. The San Francisco Chronicle has more:

San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom announced today a moratorium on official city travel to Arizona after the state enacted a controversial new immigration law that directs local police to arrest those suspected of being in the country illegally.

The ban on city employee travel to Arizona takes effect immediately, although there are some exceptions, including for law enforcement officials investigating a crime, officials said. It’s unclear how many planned trips by city workers will be curtailed [emphasis added].

Before I delve into the ridiculousness of the moratorium I have to applaud The Chronicle for its horrendous journalism. Their summary of the law in Arizona is a complete distortion. The law in Arizona doesn’t direct local police to arrest those suspected of being illegal immigrants. What hope is there for liberals in San Francisco to understand anything if the newspapers can’t cover this issue correctly?

As far as the city of San Francisco is concerned it’s amazing to see a liberal city embrace totalitarianism. So heads up, San Francisco; that’s totalitarianism. I know, I know, it’s a dry totalitarianism, but it’s still totalitarianism.
