Why is Bill O’Reilly So Afraid of San Francisco’s Presidio?

Wednesday, November 19th, 2008

Check the now infamous Bill O’Reilly / Fox News video of San Francisco. Says Bill, in the context of personal safety:

O’REILLY:No, you wouldn’t go to the Presidio at night in San Francisco. I wouldn’t.”  

Check out the white zone up by the Golden Gate Bridge here. That’s the Presidio - it’s completely surrounded by low-crime white millionaire neighborhoods. Perhaps the famous Google Street View Car Incident from earlier this year ranks as the most noteworthy crime in the Presidio in recent memory.

The scariest thing ever in the Presidio seen at night - old school Halloween decorations near Arguello:

Now, it’s easy to see why Bill might not like the official street signs of Presidio Boulevard, but would that sight prevent him from completing an evening constitution? Or maybe Bill confused this park with another? Golden Gate Park has it’s share of dangerous foxes, coyotes and feral cats.

That must be it. Otherwise, one might think old Bill doesn’t know what he’s talking about.

Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Motorcade Rolls on 22-Inch Dub Wheels - Is That Safe?

That’s right, Conan the Destroyer has a posse and they’re all rolling on dubs. Check out these 22-inch monsters being used in an official gubernatorial motorcade:

And check out those balancing weights - do you see how much it takes to keep these massive rims rolling true? These wheels are about twice as large as what Vanilla Ice’s Five point-oh Ford Mustang had way back in the 1990’s.

There’s no good reason to have wheels this large on your vehicle. Some think them dangerous. Others don’t like the way they ride. Of course, sometimes you might be like Senator Don Perata and end up with a set of duece dueces because they come with the car, but not usually.

If you want to show off your wheels, why not keep them a little smaller and then load up on some bling bling? Diamond and ruby studded wheels from Asanti only cost $2,000,000 per set - will this be the next trend in fashionable wheels?

Arnold Schwarzenegger might be your role model, but don’t try to copy him with his huge wheels.

Asta la vista, baby.
