Ninety minutes into this weekend’s 9/11 TRUTH FOR PEACE: West Coast Convergence the crowd at the event in the Golden Gate Park panhandle was eighty strong, so let’s call that a turnout of over a hundred altogether for the whole thing.

As the JFK assasination is to 9/11….

Oswald is to the 19 hijackers,

The Warren Commission is to the 9-11 Commission,

And, conspiracy theorists are to conspiracy theorists. 

O.K., then.

Some 9/11er’s aren’t feeling the love from the “so-called alternative media,” it seems. That was one of their beefs.

Look for these people at the next large public event you attend. They’ll be there.

These muso basjoo Japanese fiber bananas hanging around Strybing Arboretum at San Francisco Botanical Garden look good enough to eat.

Yum yum.

Long about thirteen years ago, there was a movement afoot in California to end “gender-based discrimination” in the pricing of services like dry cleaning and hair dos. The result was the Gender Tax Repeal Act of 1995, which was ushered into life by our very own Jackie Speier.

It made headlines like this: “His and Hers Haircuts Now One Price.”

But that was a while back. Check out this hair salon of the now: 

What’s that? Mom’s got to pay 66% percent more than a man even on her special day?

Maybe. You see, the bill that ended up getting passed into law was watered down a little bit. So now Californians have to wonder about whether there’s a rule about gender-based pricing or not.

(And sometimes it goes the other way and men have to pay more for a pedicure. Can you imagine!)

The resulting ambiguity leads some women to ask for a man’s haircut in order to save money.

Well that’s it! Just tell mom to ask for a man’s haircut and her wallet will get as fat as a Mission burrito.

Or, you can tell her to sue, sue, sue under the act and then she’ll really be raking in the dough.

Either way.

Brush up in the law, after the jump.
