Business as usual in 'Frisco

From SFgate.com. Regarding the lunacy that continues in City Hall, this is what Jake McGoldrick did during the debate over closure of GGP on Saturdays:

During the meeting, Supervisor Jake McGoldrick, who introduced the test run legislation, played a video clip of parkgoers, adults and children alike, using Kennedy Drive under the current Sunday program -- overlaid with the music track, "Saturday in the Park" by Chicago -- eliciting laughs from both the board and the audience.

Honestly, this is the kind of thing I probably would have thought was really cool when I was in the 6th grade...

Fiona Ma, who voted against, said closing the park roads was rejected by voters in 2000 and to now pass an ordinance would fly in the face of the will of the electorate.

Another perfect example of how a niche, one-issue special interest goup (The San Francisco Bicycle Coalition) owns the Board of Supervisors. Next month it will be the Federation of the United Brotherhood of Haight Ashbury Head Shop Owners who get the Board to cater to their specific needs, regardless of what The City wants as a whole.

When did San Francisco become Communist China?
