Mebbe it’s jest the dumb ones what cain’t see how happy they is, so they dump their little castles down there an’ outbid anyone with a lick a sense fer whatever property the tree-huggers ain’t latched onto here. An’ mosta them’re happy as birds here an’ swear they wouldn’t go back.

I just don’t understand.

Shore wish we was as smart as them that stay there, and as free, too.

San Franciscans were among the very few who protested the Iraq war, and nowhere else were the protests so large. We predicted that this war would not be over in 90 days, would drag on painfully for years, in fact. Smug that we’re right? Yeah, but it’s not like we’re dancing in the streets. No, we’re pissed off that we were right and no one in the White House or any branch of the government listened to us for one moment. They practically hanged Barbara Lee when she cast the only vote in Congress against giving the President a free hand to attack suspected terrorists, which he has manipulated into domestic spying, detention without review, and the increasing limits on our civil liberties.

You want to talk about smug? A picture is worth a thousand words.

And what do Republicans do, but turn to the 4th grade humor in South Park and claim that is somehow dead-on right about San Francisco? I’m sure you feel the same about the way they portray gays and lesbians, religion, and rampant violence. Did you see the episode where the boys’ teacher, Mr. Garrison, went through the entire episode in a dress (he’s openly homosexual on the show) and not one line of dialog even remotely said something about it? Hey, it’s all hilarious stuff!

Why do you think it was so funny when the results of a study showed that whiny children grow up to be conservatives, and smart, self-reliant children tended to grow up to be liberals. To bring it all home, guess which camp Cartman falls into…

Meanwhile, property values in San Francisco continue to go up, more and more people want to live here, and the quality of life is unparalleled. Tourism flourishes. A truly multicultural city thrives and continues to show it’s the city that knows how. Go ahead, make fun. We can laugh both at and near Tom Ammiano, but at the end of the day, we wouldn’t want to live anywhere else.

Cartman (in his sleep: Oh no, Hippies. They want to save the world, but all they do is smell bad. Hippies… Hippies all around.

Jealous of San Francisco? No way, I Like how it isn’t foggy 275 days out of the year here in LA.
