To me it is beyond belief that a bunch of spoiled brats, namely supporters of Hilary Clinton, would sabotage the 2008 presidential election by voting for John McCain. Haven't we had enough of Bush policies for the past eight years. Why vote for McBush and extend that another four years? We must put away our dfferences and work for the good of the country. People who get caught up in personalities are the stuff of military coups in other countries. Let's not go down that road here.

And speaking of "here", I am beginning to think we need to call out the National Guard to patrol the streets of San Francisco and Oakland as our police departments are stretched too thin and our courts don't prosecute to the fullest extent of the law and these dirt bags who are robbing restaurants and shooting people. Just this week there was a shooting incident in San Francisco near the Hastings College of Law which is just behind the Asian Art Museum in the Civic Center and that was in the daytime. Then a Muni passenger gets robbed on a Muni bus on Market Street in the daytime. The list is getting longer and longer as crime finds its way into neighborhoods which have not seen incidents like these. Would a shooting on the steps of City Hall spur our elected officials to get serious about crime? I have my doubts.
