Did people forget to make protest signs for Kamala Harris, the individual running for AG who has made a career of NOT prosecuting criminals in SF?

"stuck on that hopey-changey thing,"

Yes, nice play on the half term governor Sarah's words.

We're stuck on it.

As opposed to the fear and hate things from your posts. You've posted a couple dozen times in the last day and half, and most of them get removed, cut or censored.

What's up with that?

I must apologize for my obscene gesture to that large group on the Alameda, protesting the Presidents visit. It was my knee-jerk over-reaction, as we passed by, to their crass ugliness in depicting Obama with the Hitler mustache and other demeaning and ignorant signage. Such displays occur in other parts of the country, I know, but I hardly expected our enlightened peninsula here to experience this kind of blighted discourse. Next time, a simple thumb down.

Photos distort the "crowd" -- very few showed up. Maybe two dozen. Pathetic.
Thanks tom h for your comment. Let's go to DC for the Rally to Restore Sanity!!

That's because it is all talk and no action. This is especially true on the webb.

Why appologize for the finger should have given a double diget!
