Here’s the Latest Controversial SFMTA MUNI Bus Ad: “THIS IS ISLAMIC APARTHEID” – Uh, You’re Losing This Game, SFMTA
June 19th, 2013Via the District 5 Blog comes the news
“After months of procrastination and dhimmitude, the San Francisco MTA finally posted our Islamic apartheid ads on city buses (above are the first of the pics). They have been running the libelous “Israel is an apartheid state” ad without hesitation (or substantiation), mind you. I, on the other hand, had to provide numerous links and references to back up my ads. Why me and not them? Because I was stating fact, but the Jew-haters were merely expressing their opinion. You can’t make this stuff up, folks.
San Francisco turned over the revenue from our ads to Muslim groups to study the effect AFDI ads had on the Muslim community, I kid you not. But they kept the revenue from the Jew-hatred ads.
We will educate the American people despite the difficulty, despite the obstacles.”

Stepping over and on raw sewage, on a daily basis:
Is this rainwater? You wish. It’s the accumulated sewage from the previous eruption. Most of the time this area is wet:
Oh well.
If Willie Brown Wants Us to Start Naming Monuments After Him, Why Not Let’s Start With This 17 Foot Tall Monolith on Bush?
June 19th, 2013This street billboard / newsstand is unused and obsolete these days so why don’t we name it after shadow-Mayor Willie Brown?
You know, instead of SFO or the Golden Bridge or Market Street or whatever else he can cook up.

Seventh Street Update: Donut, Donut, COMMUNITY AMBASSADOR, Donut, Donut, COMMUNITY AMBASSADOR, Donut, Donut, Donut
June 18th, 2013Official San Francisco COMMUNITY AMBASSADORS:

One time I was almost a COMMUNITY AMBASSADOR. Well actually, I was a COMMUNITY ASSISTANT CONSUL GENERAL YOU KNOW, making moves, on my way up. But then at the ANNUAL COMMUNITY GALA I upchucked on the silk dress of the COMMUNITY SECRETARY GENERAL. Later on my CCG said, due to that “unfortunate incident,” I would never ever become a COMMUNITY AMBASSADOR no matter what.
So I said screw it, street diplomacy just isn’t the life for me.

Western Addition Update: “The Third Baptist Church CDF Freedom School 2013″ – “No Child Left Behind” IRL
June 18th, 2013This taxpayer-subsidized religious summer school program started up yesterday, looks like:
2013 Summer Session

8:00 AM – 3:00 PM
Site Location
Ida B. Wells School

“CDF’s Black Community Crusade for Children (BCCC) led to the creation of the CDF Freedom Schools program in 1995, offering children enrichment through a reading curriculum that seeks to foster a love of learning and to empower children to make a difference in their families, communities and the nation. In the summer of 2007, CDF Freedom Schools sponsor partners served over 8,300 children in 61 cities and 25 states (and D.C.), including over 1,750 children in the Gulf Coast Region (AL,LA,MS,TX). Since 1995, over 64,000 children and families have been reached through the CDF Freedom Schools program experience.”

Uh Oh: Businesses on 3rd Avenue Still Unaware of the Weekly Clement Street Farmers Market – Starts June 23rd
June 17th, 2013Here’s what you need to know about the forthcoming Clement Street Farmers Market.
Oh look, from District One Supe Eric Mar:
“Thank you to Peter Lauterborn from my office, the Clement Street Merchants Assn, Argonne Community Garden, Peabody elementary school PTA, Argonne elementary school PTO and many others for working with the great folks from Marin Agricultural Institute to organize our community farmer’s market! We are working hard to make it family friendly, and thanks to Foggy Notion, Seed Store, ParkLife, Green Apple, Cumaica Coffee House and Giorgio’s Pizzeria and other businesses too for helping to make this successful! [Signed] Eric Mar, District 1 Supervisor. If you have any suggestions or questions – contact Peter at 415-554-7411 or email him at peter.lauterborn@sfgov.org“
And “youthful” (I mean, his relatively short Wiki entry uses the term 14 times, right?) aide Peter Lauterborn speaks his piece here.
The thing is is that some businesses on 3rd Avenue, where a couple block will get shut down weekly, don’t seem to be aware of the CSFM.
The Sloat Garden Center for one:

I myself have no particular beef with the new farmer’s market* but I cry foul at the SFMTA-type, everybody’s-a-winner, everybody-supports-this-new-thing, just-wait-until-you-see-the-transformation-of-the-Inner-Richmond style of campaign behind it.
Anyway, Lord knows that Sundays at that part of Clement can be a bit depressing, what with infrequent bus service, a number of empty parking spaces, and lots and lots of closed storefronts abutting a handful of thriving businesses.
(One assumes that most customers of the 3rd Avenue Burger King and Sloat Gardens will figure another way of getting to and fro asides from approaching from the north.)
END OF LINE…
*Indeed, I just might visit. Actually, I was out yesterday taking King and Messiah for a walk to a bakery on 3rd very near Clement.
