#1 Barbara S-

Hate to disappoint you, but Debra Saunders is on our side, and always has been. It must be tough for her in the environment in SF, with all those "loonies" storming the Chronicle, with torches and a rope, asking for her head all the time...

#2 Typical. Someone questions Kerry's competence and sense in his hearing, and The Last Kennedy starts fulminating about attacks on Kerry's patriotism. The old saw is true - patriotism really is the last refuge of the scoundrel.

#3 BigEd - I know she is. I just think it's notable that this was published in Pyongyang-America, of all places. Hope she's got bodyguards. ;-p

She at least must have a great sense of humor to survive there.

#4 title is wrong - should be "SFChronicle OP Ed..." the Chronicle itself is deeply into "peace, love and jihad"

#5 Pravda (aka SF Chronicle) has a couple of Conservative columnists that they run once a week. Think of it as window dressing, nothing more. The vast majority of the editorial staff is still waiting to see if those documents that CBS came up with are real. They also cling to the hope that many Expats will tip the scales for Kerry. Finally they also think that people in California favor Gay marriage and oppose three strikes. Contrary to the ballot "poll" conducted for each of these issues.

#8 The Bay Area is a good place for conservatives to hone their skills and toughen their skin. That's which Michael Savage has such an attitude. Now, if only Lee Rodgers would go national.

#9 The Bay Area's a joke. SF is a small village with hideous architecture and second-rate cultural institutions that pretends it's another version of Paris. Filled with trust-fund hippies, burnt-out-effin hippies, homeless hippies, chicano gangs, a few wannabe hip yupsters and a hundred thousand or so flakes venusians pteradactyls and preverts. I couldn't leave that place fast enough.

#10 SF was on its way out after my grandma died. She was a native San Franciscan who was in an orphanage that collapsed in the '06 quake. Grandma volunteered at the Irwin Memorial Blood Bank and at an elementary school for 40 years. She typified the spirit of the city, which is now lost to homeless bums on the dole, perverts who are living petri dishes, and aging 60s hippies that became city muckity-mucks (no disrespect to Mucky!). When I see what has become of that formerly beautiful city, I wish that the big employers like BOA, Transamerica, Bechtel, et al, would either put the heat on the govt or pull out and let the socialists pound sand on Ocean Beach for taxes. Makes my blood boil. Just think, Tony Bennett or someone like him used to call San Francisco Baghdad-by-the-Bay. /venting, BP returning to 122/80

#11 When I worked for the late lemented Crocker Bank in the early 1980s they sent me to the Corporate offices for seminars, etc. The Headquarters which were in the tenderloin district, right across from the Examiner offices on 5th street...

It was interesting to see the bums, even then come right up to cabs (going to and from the airport) and ask for money. The funniest incident, was this cabbie who would curse at them, and the look on their face was shock...

They were probably thinking, "This is San Francisco. I thought everybody loved everybody..."

#12 "...Joe Lockhart? "The last thing you want to be seen as is a puppet of the United States, and you can almost see the hand beneath the shirt today moving the lips," he said."

Wasn't that charge common during teh Vietnam years as well?

That would be Herb Caen.

#14 So then you're saying that Thomas Jefferson was a stupid drunk? That's all Kennedy did: quote Jefferson a smidge. What's your problem with the founding fathers?
