Smile, Though Your Head Is Aching

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was in a determinedly good mood when she sat down to lunch with reporters yesterday. She entered the room beaming and, over the course of an hour, smiled no fewer than 31 times and got off at least 23 laughs.

But her spirits soured instantly when somebody asked about the anger of the Democratic "base" over her failure to end the war in Iraq.

"Look," she said, the chicken breast on her plate untouched. "I had, for five months, people sitting outside my home, going into my garden in San Francisco, angering neighbors, hanging their clothes from trees, building all kinds of things -- Buddhas? I don't know what they were -- couches, sofas, chairs, permanent living facilities on my front sidewalk."

Unsmilingly, she continued: "If they were poor and they were sleeping on my sidewalk, they would be arrested for loitering, but because they have 'Impeach Bush' across their chest, it's the First Amendment."

If they were poor . . . they would be arrested for loitering :rofl3:
 
homeless in SF are particularly annoying.

there's like 30,000 homeless in golden gate park.

i don't care if yer liberal, conservative, a siamese donkey, whatever. they're still fucking annoying.
 
Thats what happens when you feed them instead of using water cannons. They breed like cats and hang around the dumpsters.
 
for a snickers bar i can get a nice one. if i throw in a can of soda, i can get a rimjob, too. and they don't complain about how hairy i am.
 
Hmm... I wonder if one can simultaneously catch 4 mortal viruses from a homeless Snickers rimjob.

The questions that keep one up at night... hmmm.

3 hots & cot & freedom fromprosecution..all on the taxpayer. Why not?
 
She does have a point, though... in San Francisco, they really do arrest the homeless for loitering and stuff like that.
 
I don't know what the rest of the US homeless are like, but the ones I encountered in San Fran were pretty horrifyingly in your face (in a nice good ol' fashioned crazy way).
 
They're a little more crazy in SF than most of the rest of the country. That doesn't mean you won't find ones like that anywhere else... there's just more of them there.

Sorry, hon, those were just the standard issue Haight Ashbury hippies. Tourists aren't allowed to see the bums.

Nancy has disregarded the 'mandate.' She has forgotten the immortal words of moron.org:

"Now it's our party: we bought it, we own it, and we're going to take it back."
 
Atlanta's homless is almost a shadow. About a year before the 96 Olympics, they passed various broad laws to deny aggressive panhandling and whatnot. Our (supposed) homeless are the types that hang out on highway exits with signs passively begging for money. They probably make about $300/day.

Bumped into those too (one of them offered us a joint in golden gate park, LOL "Park-aloha dude!"). It was kinda nice.

The homeless one though - crazy was putting it mild. If you stood still around him for long enough, he'd come up and start poking you. Ugh.
