Question from Haight Ashbury: Is Barack Obama an Angel, the Devil, or…. a Pirate?

Thursday, July 17th, 2008

The Bay Area just loves famous lefty Barack, but somebody on Haight Street in foggy San Francisco saw fit to deface these OBAMA posters.

Mocking Obama -that’s the last taboo.

Pirate Obama certainly is a good look, but you make the call.

Newsflash: Obama is a Lefty! Why are so many U.S. Presidents Left-Handed?

Friday, July 11th, 2008

This was the scene at famous Pier 39 in San Francisco’s Fisherman’s Wharf the other day. Barack Obama has a new T-shirt.

But what’s that, John McCain is left-handed as well? And Gerald Ford and Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton?

That means four out the last six U.S. presidents be lefties. And, as of next year, the stat will be five out the last seven presidents. That’s 71%, or a rate ten times higher than what you’d expect.

Why are so many of our Presidents Left-Handed?

9/11 TRUTH FOR PEACE: West Coast Convergence in Golden Gate Park

Monday, May 12th, 2008

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.

The Huffington Post Reports 100% of Obama Workers are “Optimistic and Fully Committed to the Campaign!”

Wednesday, April 16th, 2008

The Huffington Post’s Off The Bus project has a webpage that describes the “current mood” of 792 Barack Obama workers.

Turns out that, even last year, all 792 were “Optimistic and Fully Committed to the Campaign!”

Wow. Wonder how they feel these days. Some of them might be livid  but you just can’t tell.

Sadly, Hillary Clinton workers appear to not have their own webpage. You’ll just have to guess to see how they are feeling.

Obama Campaign Higher-Ups are Livid at an Unidentified “Local Fundraising Consultant”

Monday, April 14th, 2008

How did famous blogger Mayhill Fowler get inside that recent controversial Obama event in San Francisco that some people are calling a miracle for Hillary Clinton? From Matier and Ross:

Just how the MP3-wielding Fowler managed to secure an invite to the $1,000 a head fundraiser at the San Francisco home of developer Alex Mehran wasn’t immediately clear - but Obama campaign higher-ups were said to be livid, with fingers pointing at a local fundraising consultant for the slip-up.

Everyone was all smiles in San Francisco at this event last year, anyway

Without getting some more information, it’s hard to say just what went wrong. Perhaps the official invitation to the event holds a clue.

Who is the person that’s being held responsible? Check it out, after the jump.

Update: Is Mayhill referred to as a roach under a sofa here on barackobama.com? You make the call.

SUV-Driving Obama Supporter Gets the Boot in San Francisco

Monday, April 14th, 2008

The phrase getting the boot can mean a few different things. In San Francisco, the primary definition relates to your car getting a big yellow Denver Boot. You can see it attached to the front left wheel of this aging Range Rover Classic SUV. Why would the authoritahs pick on you this way? Well, not paying five or more parking tickets is one good reason.

The scene below was reason enough for Flickr contributor permanently scatterbrained to change his vote to Mike Huckabee: 

Well, someone just lost my vote. Not only are these liberal thugs flaunting basic local traffic laws, but they’re doing so in a gas-guzzling, terrorist-enabling SUV behemoth that’s not even American made. Huckabee ‘08!

In defence of the operator of this vehicle, Obamamania has infected the entire Bay Area, so paying those pesky and expensive $50 parking tickets issued by DPT (or MTA or whatever they call themselves this month) might seem to many like a chore worth putting off.

Also while it’s true this vehicle was made in merrie olde Englande, it has a Buick engine (mas o menos) and maybe even a Chrysler transmission, so factor that in before you start the hatin’.

And, what looks like red paint on the curb is actually indicates a “pink zone” where some people park without fear of getting ticketed. Take a look at the very same curb here on MapJack. See? The red zone starts at the stop sign, don’t you think?

So, things aren’t as bad as they seem in this photo.  Let’s have a little sympathy for this youthful supporter of the next president(?) of the United States!

Denial Runs Deep - These People Still Want to Count Florida and Michigan

Sunday, March 30th, 2008

Sighted yesterday in front of the 2008 Democratic Party State Convention.

Look at these poor souls who don’t yet realize that decisions made in Florida and Michigan last year mean that voters from those states won’t get to have their say on the Democratic primary?

Don’t they know that the primary is over? Well, not quite. Anything can happen.
