• Commented on Former Rivals Agree: Newspaper Owner's Drive To Buy Up SF Publications Is A Good Thing
  I'm a huge fan of the new-look Examiner, and I think the Guardian has added a couple pages of short news stories since they were bought, so I'm all for expansion of the Vogt empire in theory. But I don't...
• Commented on Google Adds Bizarre Requirement For SFPD's Bike Theft Workshop Attendees
  Looks like they've deleted the Google+ question. Nice work on publicizing this. But what's up with the SFPD standing up for the public's right to attend while the Bike Coalition seemed to be okay with leaving it up to Google?...
• Commented on Weekend Watch: Prometheus is better than Aliens 3 (What isn't?), Native Americans Can't Jump, and a THIRD (?!) Madagascar
  I never considered myself an Alien mega-fan, but back in Junior High a friend and I used to pass the time on the bus reciting the first half hour of Aliens dialogue. So in that spirit, I do have to...
• Commented on SFPD Partnering With DEA For Prescription Drug Takeback Event Saturday
  Wait a sec, I thought you could now dispose of drugs at police stations anytime now, along with at 12 pharmacies? http://sfenvironment.org/article/toxic-products-recycling/disposal-for-residents-safer-practices/safe-medicine-disposal Also lost in all of the news about drug disposal is that this new program is funded by...
• Commented on Seismologist Describes Recent Bay Area Earthquakes As A "Cluster"
  I think we need a new term for earthquakes under 4.0. Maybe "quaklet" or "earthquaklet"?...
• Commented on SF's New $10.24 Minimum Wage Takes Mayor Ed Lee By Surprise
  It's an interesting conversation, but first of all: WTH??? How is Ed Lee so oblivious about the City's minimum wage law??? The Office of Labor Standards Enforcement (who manages minimum wage stuff) reports to the City Administrator--Ed's old job! That's...
• Commented on Muni Bus Cleared After Fight Ends In Pepper Spraying (Video)
  Can we start a public service announcement campaign to get people to film smartphone videos in landscape mode instead of portrait? These tall, skinny videos make me claustrophobic....
• Commented on Business Leader Worries That Visitors To SF Might Not "Appreciate" Getting Ticketed When They Break Traffic Laws
  Can we quit the pussyfooting around and just ban private cars on Market Street once and for all? That would get rid of all of these confusing half measures. I'm not a traffic engineer, but allow me to play one...
• Commented on As Ed Lee Officially Joins Mayor's Race, Attacks On His Character Begin
  It seems a little premature to say Daly will heckle Ed Lee. There are dignified and respectful ways to express anger. What's the equivalent of a chicken suit for a liar? Maybe Chris should light a pair of pants on...
• Commented on SF Giants' Brian Wilson, Lou Seal, Cody Ross Join Keenen Cahill In Awesome Video
  I friggin' love this team....
• Commented on John Avalos for Mayor? Yes: Supe To Announce Bid Today
  I've heard John Avalos referred to as the Latino George Clooney....

• Commented on Late Author And Activist John Ross Makes Unusual Request For His Remains
  God bless John Ross, still setting the bar high from the great beyond. Equally awesome was his New Orleans-style funeral procession from the church to Cafe La Boheme with a brass band leading the way. Someone could make a hell...
• Commented on Dave Chappelle: If You're Googling This, Please Don't Be Mad
  After I saw him at the new parish last year, I came away thinking that Dave had turned into some kind of lone ranger. Like he won the golden ticket for a life of fame and leisure, but he recoiled...
• Commented on Have Questions On How Chris Daly's Going To Run His Bar? We Have Answers.
  That's not a very nice thing for such a reallyniceguy to say. Did Chris meet with the cops at Bucks last Friday morning? Because on my morning commute last Friday, there were three empty cop cars blocking the new separated...
• Commented on "Suggested" Map For Critical Mass Published, Ocean Beach Police Say They're Ready For Riders
  It was a beautiful ride. Hands down the best ride of the dozen or so that I've done over the years. It didn't follow the exact suggested route--we skipped South Beach, which was a good idea because Critical Mass +...
• Commented on I Interviewed For The SFMTA Board Of Directors And All I Got Was This Story
  Am I the only one who noticed the poignancy of a "Waiting for Godot" comment on a post about MTA/Muni board dysfunction? (I know, I know . . . a week late and two dollars short. Exact change only.)...
• Commented on Updated! Debaser's Attack On Local Blogger: Thinskinned, Or Justifiable Retaliation?
  Raise your hand if you went back to count paragraphs after reading Brock's comment. On the one hand, this whole thing is a fascinating case study in local Internet etiquette, but on the other hand, "goes all fatwa on Kevin's...
• Commented on What Muni Bus Lines Would You Like To See Fare Inspectors On?
  The 19 Polk! From Fisherman's Wharf to Hunter's Point by way of Polk Street, SOMA, and the Potrero. I've had some crazy experiences on a couple different legs of it. I've always thought it would be a fun field trip...
• Commented on There's an Election Next Week?: The Appeal's Oversimplified Guide to the State Propositions
  Weird, I tried to post this comment yesterday afternoon, but apparently no luck . . . . These propositions are so friggin shady. 1A has nothing to do with this year's budget. The Legislative Analyst says, "Although Proposition 1A was...
