I went to my favourite fruit and veggie market on my lunch hour to pick up a few items, and I was shopping to the Grinch song from Dr. Seus' "How the Grinch Stole Christmas".

Sometimes I think I'm just a cranky SF food freak, because it irritates me that my fave fruit & veggie store doesn't carry Acme Bread which is the only type of fresh bread I like to buy.

On the way home I was thinking that if I ever become become obscenely rich, I will donate the majority of my money to food banks and services like Meals on Wheels, which deliver meals to the sick and elderly.

There is nothing more basic to human survival than food and eating, and it's utterly disgraceful that they are people who live in this city who for whatever reason can't feed themselves.

What is up with that?
While idiot politicians and candidates in the San Francisco Bay Area and around the country rant on and on about political ideology, speaking and living in their own virtual political world that no one else seems to live in, this is desert of the real world of San Francisco.

It trips me out that the San Francisco Food Bank is thinking of putting a food pantry in the my new working class hood, and my old working class hood.
Interesting article on politics and religion, American voters increasingly split along religious lines.

I go to church once a week sometimes more, prayer is an important part of my life, and I vote democrat. The majority of the people who go to my church vote democrat as well although we do have a vocal progressive minority, but then again we are a church in San Francisco.
While the people in San Francisco are fighting over how "really democrat and progrssive" are you, Strong Green challenge in San Francisco worries Democrats, The NY Times is reporting today that Shifts in States May Give Bush Electoral Edge.

As much as I so detest Tucker Carlson, the man did make a good point on the Chris Matthews Show when he said that if all Howard Dean has to on is his opposition to the Iraq War with no way graceful, diplomatic, pragmatic exit strategy for Iraq which makes sure that the country doesn't turn into another Afghanistan, then the democrats are sunk for 2004 presidential election.

With so many high profile GOP wins, like Bush getting his medicare bill to pass the congress and the senate and Arnie fulfilling on his two campaign promises of repealing the vehicle license fee hike and giving illegal aliens driver's licenses, what is the democrat strategy to take back the white house, the congress, the senate and the states?

Honestly, it makes me think that the democrats and the greens like that the repuplicans control the white house, the congress, the senate, and most of the governorships and state legislative bodies including the oh so left state of the Cali Republic, because if the GOP wasn't in control, what the hell would there be to protest about?

The Greens are supposed to be protesting Al Gore today, the champion of the environmental movement which I thought the Greens were supposed to represent, so maybe there's your answer. If we can't protest the opposition, we'll protest against the people who think like us. There's a really bright idea for you.

I heard Bill Press say that only in San Francisco would there people be fighting over Al Gore.

Protests are good for something. If it weren't for protests, where would progressive guys pick up chicks and get their voices in the media?
