• Commented on Tenant Troubles: Do I Seriously Have To Hang A "Do Not Flush Tampons" Sign In My Bathroom?
  Plumbing is something that needs to be actively maintained, otherwise it will have problems. Add in ancient plumbing in many buildings + a lack of maintenance by the owner and there will be problems because the system sucks. Unless you...
• Commented on Supervisor Kim Asks SFMTA About Renaming "Lech Walesa Street" After Polish Politician's Anti-Gay Remarks
  How about renaming it to describe the "street" for what it is: "Crappy Alleyway No One Ever Sees and Didn't Care About Until Last Week."...
• Commented on If Only This Were Out Of Sight: Parker
  I saw the previews and was annoyed with them - the real "Parker" stories are so so so much better than this Stathamesque crap. Go to your local comic store and get Darwyn Cooke's graphic novel version of the original...
• Commented on Mayor Lee Voices Misgivings Over "Harvey Milk San Francisco International Airport" Plan
  This is nothing but Campos using the name of a great american to bolster his flagging 2014 run for the Assembly. Whatever the merits are of the idea, don't forget that this is just Campos using Harvey's name to advance...
• Commented on Patxi's Pizza Fined For Pocketing Healthy SF Surcharge
  So basically every time I purchased something there, I was being lied to. Sorry, won't be returning. Did like the pizzas, though....
• Commented on Ready To Land At "Harvey Milk San Francisco International Airport"?
  Good move by the Campos 2014 Assembly campaign. No one can object to this and it makes people feel good. Regardless of the fact that housing is more expensive than ever under his watch, Muni is falling apart (but Campos...

  "MEDIOCRE DATE NIGHT PLANNED, YOU'RE WELCOME" God bless you, Laura....
• Commented on Twitter Tea Leaf Reading: SF Weekly's New Owner Pines For Resignation?
  The obnoxious comments of Tim Redmond to Joe Esenazi as well as the smug attitude of the Guardian just shows how juvenile and unprofessional they are. They also don't seem to realize that with this purchase, most of them will...
• Commented on Management: No Plans To Consolidate SF Weekly, Bay Guardian, Examiner
  this is frightening. The idea that the limping, limp Guardian might survive in its bastardized corporate form is bad enough. But to lose the weekly or have Steve and Tim's cooties ruining their reputation for Actual Reporting? scary....
• Commented on Former Rivals Agree: Newspaper Owner's Drive To Buy Up SF Publications Is A Good Thing
  If they buy the weekly, they should boost it so it can have more news in it (it already does a lot and their blogs are really good for short news items), and shut down the morbid Guardian, which does...

• Commented on Weekend Watch: The Hobbit, Which Is Crap, and Pretty Much Nothing Else

• Commented on Lawyer For Bear Sprayed Suspect In Package Theft Alleges Vigilantism, Entrapment
  this joker is a repeat offender and a convict who was seen many time stealing stuff from Ms. Yu's home and others. Dumbass finally got caught thanks to her efforts. He deserves no sympathy and I hope that SF goes...
• Commented on Weekend Watch: Lincoln, Nazis, Bond, And Strings
  If you happened to miss Louis C.K. on SNL and his skit about the show "Lincoln" (get it? it's like his show but about Lincoln) it was one of those rare moments when I a) watched SNL and b) laughed....
• Commented on Weekend Watch: Looper, Pitch Perfect, and a Bunch of Crapola
  so many awesome quotes in this review: 'Lifetime called, they want you to know your movie is a schmaltzy piece of trite garbage.' "It's like, "Ugh this is awful please death come soon," and then you're on to the next...
• Commented on Hollow Man: Dredd 3D
  The biggest mistake Hollywood makes with Dredd in any form is that they try to play it off as a "Badass" character and so on, when in fact the original comics , written in the 1970s, were really more of...
• Commented on District Attorney Should Investigate Alleged Ed Lee Perjury, Richmond Democrats Demand
  I'm sorry but when is an accusation from one of Ross's supporters not made under oath a "charge of perjury?" This is classic McCarthyism - toss out an accusation with no proof, nothing under oath, just Debra Walker saying it's...
• Commented on Labor Council Uses Women's Building As Backdrop In Pro-Mirkarimi Event
  I guess locally the War on Women is being led by the left in SF. Wow. So we're now attacking people who work to battle domestic violence now? Stay classy, progressives!...
• Commented on Tenant Troubles: Can My Landlord Make Me Pay To Replace The Carpet?
  I have a question that's sort of the opposite of this - what if after living in a few years in a unit that had so so carpet to begin with, the carpet becomes useless and a possible health hazard?...
• Commented on "Central Subway Is Going to Extend to Washington Square!"? Well, Not Really.
  This has been one of the biggest myths propagated about the Central Subway for many years and I'm disappointed to see SPUR engage in a debate like this, since I really LIKE SPUR and many of their projects. There is...
• Commented on Weekend Watch: Brave is Tame, Abraham Lincoln is Embarrassed, and Steve Carell in Melancholia, the Rom-Com

• Commented on San Francisco Prepares For Recology To Raise Garbage Rates

• Commented on Muni Tells Riders To Walk, Bike During Upcoming Transit Shutdown
  The Bike Coalition's vulture-like attack on Muni really pisses me off. YES it would be ZOMG AWESOME if we could all just ride a bike. Not everyone can, and this shutdown is not as bad as it's being made out...
• Commented on Appealing TV: Your Day-To-Day List Of Season Finales
  although I prefer the Apprentice UK version with Lord Sugar, I've watched the latter half of Celeb Apprentice if only to watch c-list stars make asses of themselves. Lou Ferrigno came off as a royal jerk-ass, and Lisa Lampanelli was...
• Commented on New "Desk" In SF City Office Intended To Bolster Local Manufacturing
  This is a joke, right? for decades an alliance of environmentalists, urban planners and NIMBYs, combined with job shifts to other states/nations have led the charge to get "uncool" manufacturing jobs out of urban areas, SF being a leader in...
• Commented on BART Comes Under Fire For Choosing Canadian Firm For New Cars
  the whine of "Buy American" is disingenuous. There's really no way to "buy american" when it comes to trains or streetcars because there are NO companies that make all the parts and technology needed in America to do so. The...
