First Sparks, Now This – Dennis Herrera Continues Campaign Against Alcoholic Energy Drinks.

Friday, November 13th, 2009

San Francisco City Attorney Dennis Herrera is stepping up his campaign to stop alcoholic drink makers from adding in caffeine and some of those other chemicals that help you party the night away. So the FDA is taking action right now.

That’s right - first they came for your Sparks, now they’re finishing the job. So stock up on your Booya Espresso Tequila ’cause it might not be around much longer. Oh well. Deets below. 

Remember getting loaded and showing off your orange tongue in the minivan? Those days are gone:

Remember the ”Sparks Girls“ and the “Sparkitects” with their cans that were designed to look like batteries complete with anode plus signs?  They’re gone too:

The Sgt. Young SF8 Case is Now the SF1 Case

Tuesday, July 7th, 2009

The San Francisco 8 case regarding the death of John Victor Young in 1971 is now 87.5% finished, so only the fate of final defendant Francisco Torres remains undecided. (These legal proceedings seem to get more attention outside of San Francisco County than inside, so the average resident is still probably ignorant of what the term “SF8″ means.)

Will the famous Bernal Hill slogan need to be updated?

It’s not easy getting a handle on things, based on what I’ve read. If the deputy AGs can establish a fingerprint match on a lighter, then what does that, by itself, prove about what Francisco Torres was actually doing on August 29, 1971?

Don’t Email Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, Send Him a Real Letter

Friday, July 18th, 2008

Look at what these Sierra Club members in San Francisco are doing to lobby Kollifornia’s governor – they’re writing actual letters. Why don’t they just register their concerns via email? Effectiveness, that’s why. Real letters to elected officials get more attention than email.

How much more?

Ten times more, a hundred times, a thousand – something like that. You see, Arnie’s a busy man, what with his heavy decisions about Bo Derek and such. You need a real letter to cut through all that other stuff he has to deal with. Email just doesn’t cut it anymore.
