A wee bit of tongue in cheek but seems to be a normal happening in the NFL. Franchise moves and team does better after leaving fans faithful through thick and thin bitter.

Colts to Indianapolis, Rams to St. Louis are examples.

Being a long time 49er fan, it would make me very upset to see them leave SF.

Good news is the franchise is strong so expect they will stay put and again reach their days of glory.

Great photo. I believe that's the game were Montana was sacked 8 times by the Philly defense and then in the fourth quarter in the final 8 minutes of the game Montana rises to make 3 touchdown passes to win the game. Fecking glory days.

Heh...

"tree-dwelling moonbats recently evicted from UC Berkeley are getting a reminder that free speech isn’t free: UC hits tree-sitters with expensive surprise.

Berkeley’s infamous tree-sitters have been hit with a rude surprise since they came down to earth: Judges are socking them with thousands of dollars in fines and legal fees.

Ironically, much of the money - which could total more than $10,000 per sitter - is going straight to the University of California, the very institution the tree-sitters were protesting as they tried to save a grove of trees outside Memorial Stadium.

“It’s really vindictive,” said an attorney for some the sitters, Dennis Cunningham. “They don’t have this kind of money.”
Maybe, but university lawyer Michael Goldstein isn’t making any apologies. “We’ve asked the judge to throw the book at them,” Goldstein said flatly.

UC Berkeley estimates it spent more than $800,000 on police and other security measures during the 22 months sitters were up in the trees. The university spent $40,000 alone on the scaffolding that went up around the final tree during the last day of the protest this month."

Please feel free to add comments and opinion. The blockade and enforcement of conditions since 2006 causes high unemployment, lack of medical services, despair, a lack of hope, and yes, Rockets being fired into Israel.

Actually, they are hand-held M-80s.

What you don't know about Gaza

By Rashid Khalidi
Published: January 8, 2009

Nearly everything you've been led to believe about Gaza is wrong. Below are a few essential points that seem to be missing from the conversation, much of which has taken place in the press, about Israel's attack on the Gaza Strip.

THE GAZANS Most of the people living in Gaza are not there by choice. The majority of the 1.5 million people crammed into the roughly 140 square miles of the Gaza Strip belong to families that came from towns and villages outside Gaza like Ashkelon and Beersheba. They were driven to Gaza by the Israeli Army in 1948.
THE OCCUPATION The Gazans have lived under Israeli occupation since the Six-Day War in 1967. Israel is still widely considered to be an occupying power, even though it removed its troops and settlers from the strip in 2005.

Israel still controls access to the area, imports and exports, and the movement of people in and out. Israel has control over Gaza's air space and sea coast, and its forces enter the area at will.

As the occupying power, Israel has the responsibility under the Fourth Geneva Convention to see to the welfare of the civilian population of the Gaza Strip.

THE BLOCKADE Israel's blockade of the Gaza Strip, with the support of the United States and the European Union, has grown increasingly stringent since Hamas won the Palestinian Legislative Council elections in January 2006.

Fuel, electricity, imports, exports and the movement of people in and out of the Strip have been slowly choked off, leading to life-threatening problems of sanitation, health, water supply and transportation.

The blockade has subjected many to unemployment, penury and malnutrition. This amounts to the collective punishment - with the tacit support of the United States - of a civilian population for exercising its democratic rights.

THE CEASE-FIRE Lifting the blockade, along with a cessation of rocket fire, was one of the key terms of the June cease-fire between Israel and Hamas. This accord led to a reduction in rockets fired from Gaza from hundreds in May and June to a total of less than 20 in the subsequent four months (according to Israeli government figures).

The cease-fire broke down when Israeli forces launched major air and ground attacks in early November; six Hamas operatives were reported killed.
WAR CRIMES The targeting of civilians, whether by Hamas or by Israel, is potentially a war crime. Every human life is precious. But the numbers speak for themselves: Nearly 700 Palestinians, most of them civilians, have been killed since the conflict broke out at the end of last year. In contrast, there have been around a dozen Israelis killed, many of them soldiers.

Negotiation is a much more effective way to deal with rockets and other forms of violence. This might have been able to happen had Israel fulfilled the terms of the June cease-fire and lifted its blockade of the Gaza Strip.

This war on the people of Gaza isn't really about rockets. Nor is it about "restoring Israel's deterrence," as the Israeli press might have you believe.
Far more revealing are the words of Moshe Yaalon, then the Israeli Defense Forces chief of staff, in 2002: "The Palestinians must be made to understand in the deepest recesses of their consciousness that they are a defeated people."
Rashid Khalidi, a professor of Arab studies at Columbia, is the author of the forthcoming "Sowing Crisis: The Cold War and American Dominance in the Middle East."

Operative statement of the entire piece: "The Palestinians must be made to understand in the deepest recesses of their consciousness that they are a defeated people."

Once that happens, perhaps they will stop trying to wipe Israel off the map.

This did not work with the Djoos, and it might not work with the Palis either - maybe a "final solution" which will shut all the pesky Palis up should be found?

In every societal interaction there's an understood recognition of who is the 'superior' and who is the ínferior'. The Palestinians are generally a rabble of low-achievers while the people of Israel (including the Arab population) are high achievers. To wit the 7 Day War, turning the desert into a garden etc., etc. The Palestinians should take from Israel lessons on how to achieve a culture that is not based on hate and wasted lives. In so doing, admit they are berift & wanting - thus a defeated people.

BO The Magic Negro! Now he can change people's perceptions about slavery!

Here's an example of the newly uninhibited racial dialogue:
On the morning after the election, Kristin Rothballer, 36, who lives in San Francisco, kissed her female partner goodbye on the train while commuting to work. A black woman who sat down next to her turned and said she was sorry that Proposition 8, the amendment to ban gay marriage in the state, looked like it was going to pass.

"We grabbed hands," Ms. Rothballer recalled. "And I said, 'Well, I really want to congratulate you because we have a black president and that's amazing.' "

"Our conversation then almost became about the fact that we were having the conversation," she said. Something moved her to apologize to the black woman for slavery.

"For two strangers riding a train to Oakland to have that conversation about race, it wouldn't have been possible if Obama hadn't been elected," she said. "I always felt open with my colleagues, but to say to a stranger on the train, 'Hey, I'm sorry about slavery,' that just doesn't happen."
You learn the most amazing things from the New York Times. Before we read this article, it never would have occurred to us that lesbians might have been responsible for slavery.

California and SF ] are out of control

Berkeley's public library will face a showdown with the city's Peace and Justice Commission tonight over whether a service contract for the book check-out system violates the city's nuclear-free ordinance.

How's that for an opening? In the entire history of civilization, has any human society so ordered its affairs that it would seem entirely normal to combine those words in that order in a single sentence?

Why?

3M, a company with operations in 60 countries, refused to sign Berkeley's nuclear-free disclosure form as required by the Nuclear Free Berkeley Act passed by voters in 1986.

As a result, the library's self-checkout machines have not been serviced in about six months. Library officials say 3M is the only company authorized by the manufacturer to fix the machines, which were purchased in 2004.

Un-fucking real...

San Francisco Moves Toward Banning Cars

Back in the Carter era, ultra-left punk rock loudmouth Jello Biafra ran for Mayor of San Francisco. His platform included forcing businessmen to wear clown suits and banning cars within the city. This new policy may soon be enacted:

San Francisco officials are considering limits on when and where private cars can drive on Market Street in an effort to make the thoroughfare faster for buses and safer for pedestrians and bicyclists.

Heh...ya just can't make this shit up!

Here's Zombie’s latest photo/video essay: an appearance at San Francisco’s Modern Times Bookstore by Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn: San Francisco welcomes William Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn.

This clip shows Dohrn echoing Attorney General Holder’s comment that the US is a “nation of cowards.”
