San Francisco Stinks!

Add this to your list of unintended consequences:
San Fransisco (and the rest of the People's Republik of Kalifornia) has mandated low flow toilets that use less than 1.6 gallons of water per flush.
We need to save water because the NIMBYs and eco-freaks won't allow new reservoirs and no one has suggested any serious alternative to the current methods of water control and storage (like reservoirs that are next to the river instead of in the stream) .
Well, the problem with low-flow is that there is not enough turbulence and pressure to keep sludge from sticking to the sewer pipes.
Besides making for a big stench all over town, it creates a problem with treated water that led to the treatment facilities stocking up on chlorine in order to treat the system and the water further before discharge.
You don't have to be a genius to predict the response to that.

That's right, there is now a "Don't Bleach Our Bay!" alarm on an environmental blog.

SF Lunatics have control of the asylum

San Francisco is trying to deal with a $360M budget deficit for the coming year, or maybe not "trying" after all.
Handing out $170M in cost of living bonuses doesn't seem a very effective way to fight a budget imbalance.
This fiasco follows the November 2010 defeat of a measure that would have made union employees pay more into their retirement.

The unfunded liability for retirements has tripled from last year to $1.6 Billion.
I wonder how much worse it has to get for the taxpayers in that city to wake up?

San Francisco bans circumcision

San Francisco has long been a study in opposites and a hotbed of hypocrisy.
The latest proposed hypocritical move is their banning of circumcision for anyone under the age of 18.
On the surface, this may seem a sane and reasonable response to cultural practices that have been held up as painful and traumatizing treatment of the very young that has little justification.
That argument will probably go on for the next century.
The reality that skewers the lawmakers and those backing the ban is that there is no lower age limit for body piercing.
So, you can place a thousand devices in your kid's face (and perhaps more private areas) but you can't circumcise them until they are 18?
If passed, it couldn't possibly be an anti religious move by the city filled with people who's hostility towards religions that don't justify lying, rape, slavery, and genocide.
Could it?

BTW, the latest body mods allowed in cities like SF are:
LED implants (I light up your life)
Dermal anchors (a place to hang your purse or cell phone?)

Move Along! No Racially Charged Crime Here!

From American Thinker.
San Francisco has a dirty little secret.
When crime statistics show black Americans disproportionally arrested; attacked; or victimized, the media has fits.
When Orientals are the victims and the criminals are black?
No problem here!
Just "youths" taking advantage.
Nice to see the city protecting productive, law abiding taxpayers, rather than providing a sanctuary for illegal invaders.

San Francisco Hypocrisy

San Francisco's leadership are screaming for a boycott of Arizona because of the new law making it possible for law enforcement to identify non-legal residents and detain illegals for deportation.
What they aren't talking about is their own residency identification card that allows legal citizens to access services that they don;t want to waste on non-citizens.
Pretty much the same thing, but totally acceptable because it was done for the right (leftist) reasons.
