On Adventures in Paywalls: The 'Longshot' Magazine Nagwall

I would love to point out (and so I am!) that this was not even an idea on Thursday. Adam and Heather and (see above!) came up with this idea and had to talk me into it because I am quite dense and it is wonderful and makes me happy. And it's *nuts* that they made it so fast. It majes me feel like I am a very slow person.

On We Are More Excited about Girl Talk on Everything than the Beatles on iTunes

So, years and years ago when I saw Girl Talk live on a rooftop in San Francisco it... Oh... Who am I kidding?

You have such a pretty smile, Rodrigo Vasquez. It makes me want to bury myself in a hole. With you! Only you! Will you be my friend on Facebook? I am so totally friending you right now! Poke, poke!

On A Note from California: This Governor's Race Is Excruciating Torment

Really? Okay! I guess I should have been born here, and that everyone should just stay put. Tell you what: I'll get back on the boat to my people's native land just as soon as you do.

* You have mistaken criticism of X for endorsement of Y. This is not about San Francisco vs. Oakland. It is about Jerry Brown being a very bad governor and Meg Whitman being worse. Having said that, surely you can admit Oakland has more than its share of problems. Your last three mayors, at least, certainly do.

*I just voted against Kamala Harris less than 30 days ago. She, too, will be very bad for California. Again, you mistake criticism of X for endorsement of Y. Corruption and incompetence is bad anywhere.

*Bart cops are not the only cops with guns. Here. Here is a rather egregious example from Mayor Brown's term:

*Or if you would prefer a more recent example:

* Or if you would prefer a recent example in which they shoot AN UNARMED BABY DEER: http://articles.sfgate.com/2010-05-05/bay-area/20884892_1_deer-oakland-housing-authority-officers

*Who the fuck calls it The Mish in anything but irony? I hope there are no human beings who really do that. Please do not call it that. It is a terrible name.

*Keep your hands off my DK cassettes. They are old, and I have no device upon which to play them. But you cannot have them. I will, however, totally give you my Lard CD.

Fuck yes it is. So, too, is Holiday in Cambodia, Pol Pot being more or less a stand in for Jerry Brown.

On San Francisco Helps Haiti

I made fun of this too. But it seems they're donating the mats to be used in hospitals. (Presumably for bedding?) Here's the only explanation I was able to find: http://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=276803398684&id=41577131701
