Is This Former Mayor Gavin Newsom’s New Ride in San Francisco, a Ford Excursion SUV with V-10 Gas Engine?

Thursday, April 19th, 2012

I don’t know, could be.

He was hanging out at an area Starbucks the other day, gesticulating wildly, and that attracted attention of nearby Safeway shoppers, who assumed that this blacked-out SUV with waiting driver was his driver.

I mean, Gavin is obsessed with Hollywood, of course, and Hollywood just loves blacked-out SUVs, so who knows.

Hey remember when he was running for Governor and he said that Californian Democrats needed to vote for him in order for us to head in the “right direction” and not the “wrong direction” and the wrong direction person referenced was Jerry Brown?

I do.

And remember when Jerry Brown was on AM radio and he was asked about a idea of literally racing against Gavin by climbing up the stairs of a 50-story building and Jerry Brown declined by challenging Gavin to an IQ test instead (and in this way mocked Gavin’s high double-digit IQ)?

I do.

Hey, whatever happened to Gavin? What’s he up to these days?

Even If You Own a Car, You’ve Got to Admit That This Five-Vehicle Crash on Hayes was Pretty Funny – Transit First, Bitches

Thursday, March 8th, 2012

Can you reconstruct the scene here?

The first vehicle (you know, the one with the driver who, post-accident, took off with a quickness) struck the Toyota, which struck the Honda, which struck the Ford, which struck the other Toyota.

No injuries and maximum humor, you can’t beat that.

Have you ever seen a funnier accident? I haven’t.

After I took the shot, I yelled out “transit first, bitches” and then rolled away on a 21 Hayes bus my melon-farming bike.

“Sharing my aggression is what that I do
Every day I’m riding the ‘Tour de Fuck You’
Banging on hoods and kicking in fenders
a right-of-way-aholic on a permanent bender
Running red lights at the fat intersection
Cutout seat protects my erection [SO TRUE]
You like the bird, in my hand?
Take two from a motherfucking track stand on my bike
I’m on a motherfucking bike
I’m on a motherfucking bike”

Enjoy.

Will this…

…plus this:

…eliminate this…

…and this?

Well, not actually because this particular car vs. bike from last year happened to be the impatient cyclist’s fault, because he went across against a red, because bike riders don’t have as much time to cross as they used to, owing to the newish dedicated cyclist light Oh well.

Anyway, I would have said that Santa installed all the new hardware, but I was beaten to the punch by Dale Danley / Panhandle Park Stewards, who naively wonder why the Panhandle Bandshell went away despite the fact that the “partners” of PPS are the same people who made the harmless bandshell go away.

(So I don’t know, I’ll consider the Panhandle Park Stewards ranking someplace north of that horribly corrupt Willie Brown S.L.U.G. vehicle for the while. Enjoy your “partnership” with the corrupt RPD, and the NIMBYed-up NoPNA, and the millionaires’ kid’s school as you garden, Deutsches Jungvolk und Bund Deutscher Mädel.)

Anyway, you can look forward to the flashing lights of traffic cams when errant drivers err at Fell and Masonic. (UCSF shuttle van drivers beware, beware!)
