Mark Morford is at it again with his latest column which is about the Bush/Rove connection. It is very scary to think of these two people with so much power. While some of Morford's columns are very humorous, this one could be the cause of nightmares for some people. Also, why has Bush suddenly changed his standards for firing people? He is now taking the low road on this issue.

If you want something on the lighter side, how about Burn Baby Burn Barbecue Sauce which doesn't sound real but apparently is as Huey Newton's widow is going to market the stuff. I wonder how hot it will be?

As for the proposal to convert some rooms at the Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco into condos, why not? They are only proposing this for the modern tower that was added to the hotel, not the original structure and shouldn't a property owner be able to make changes to his or her property without so much government interference? If the proposal was for the entire property that would be a little different but it is only for the tacky sixties addition to the facility.

On a personal note, I am recovering from my four days in hot Las Vegas (115°). Another night's sleep plus a Happy Hour at my favorite watering hole has apparently helped. I am now back to normal, whatever that is.
