MITT

MITT= Monkey in Tall Tree.

BLOWHARD

An appropriate coincidence. A huge hurricane is blowing into Florida. Blowing hard and harder. The Republican convention is about to start in Florida.
A gang of blowhards meeting in a windy place. Dontcha love it?

PRINCE HARRY

The hairy prince.

HURRICANE

A hurricane is headed for Florida. The Repubby Convocation (convention) is headed for Florida. Is there a message here? Do the blowhards deserve a hard blow? Stay tuned for the word from on high.

RAPE

Regarding the gaffe on rape by Rep. Todd Aiken, I have this to say. The word "rape" is an acronym for "Republicans Are Poor Example".

Trogparty======Repub;lican Party

I am of an age that remembers Republicans such as Thomas Dewey and Dwight D Eisenhower. Republicans, yes. Reasonable men. yes again. That is no longer. The Repubbys have turned into knuckle dragging trogledytes. The thought of them wining is a frightening prospect.

From Roosevelt to Romney (and Ryan)

I was born in April 1933. Franklin Delano Roosevelt took office for his first term in March of 1933. I grew up with Roosevelt and remember his leadership during WW2 along with Winston Churchill, the  Prime Minister of England. Two great men.

Now I am 79 years old, and am facing the prospect of Romney and Ryan as President and vicePresident. The contrast between these two and Roosevelt/Churchill is beyond imagination. Is this the downhill run for the USA which will end in the pit of dispair?

My fellow Americans, please consider the Devil that is inherent in the Romney/Ryan persona and vote to keep them as far from the White House as is possible. It may be our salvation.

ROMNEY and RYAN and RAND

R and R .

Rommey and Ryan and Rand. (Ayn Rand)
Far right is close at Hand
Rape and Retribution is Grand
Rubbing our face in the Sand



I think Romney is a rightwinger becaise his father was a Republican and fairly moderate in his political views. Maybe he wants to go far right to show Daddy that "I'm a better man than you Georgiedad"..
Ryan is another case. He is a closet Nazi whose name should be spelled "Aryan", and in his heart of hearts, he probably adnires Adolf Hitler for showing the world how far right one could go without falling off the edge of the Earth.
Romney would be the titular President, but he would kow-tow to his Veep and  follow along like a sorry old dog. He might even have to ride in a cage on top of the Presidential limo.

WORSHIP THE GUN

Live by the gun

Die by the gun

Hackers

Hackers are idiots that have nothing intelligent to say, so they try to destroy what others have to say. How sad it is. How pathetic they are.

.

WHY OH WHY

Do Republicans hate healthcare but love war? Is that not perverse? What would Jesus say?

A: Special cars with reconfigured interior for bikes and riders, marked with obvious wide red stripe and huge letter B.



Q: What will this do?



A: Provide access to BART for all and access to doors for exiting.



How many of you have missed your stop or had to push and paw through masses of bikes and people to reach the door in time? You know what I mean.



Issue solved.



Marge Jencks, Berkeley





Give bicyclists their own car

I agree with the comments of Peter Lawrence, "How to match BART and bikes" (Letter, Aug. 3). Bike riders are not allowed in the first car, but they ignore this, the same as they ignore advice not to enter crowded cars and ignore the "no bike" rule during commute hours.



By all means, bring in bike-only cars. With regard to airport passengers, who think that they can block up to four seats, yes, bring in separate cars.



Mervyn Williams, Daly City





Commuting is a real challenge

I had to laugh at the letter saying that commuting by bike in San Francisco doesn't require fitness or bravery ("Taking the edge off biking in the city," Letters, Insight, Aug. 5).



In truth it's arduous and/or dangerous. There are the numerous hills to wind around, most streets are only two lanes wide with parked cars on both sides, the few arterials are jammed with traffic, with cars making right turns right across the path of bikes, and there's the pedestrians who blindly dart into your path. Only the fit, the brave, and the few will ever commute by bike in the city. I never have, and I've been riding my bike for recreation here for 45 years.





Richard Covert, San Francisco







No pension reform - no tax increase

Until the governor and Legislature step up and enact meaningful statewide pension reform ("Pension reform the top priority," Aug. 6), this registered Democrat will not support either Gov. Jerry Brown's Proposition 30 or tax proponent Molly Munger's Prop. 38 in November.



Without legislative action soon on this subject, voters in California are in a mood to "speak" with another Prop. 13, this time directed at pension reform.



This is not the way good government should work, but it is the voters' only recourse when the governor and the legislature are afraid to go up against the powerful unions that support them so generously. Tax increase proposals must be accompanied by pension reform.



Greg Calegari, San Francisco





Church, politics

The writer of "Our archbishop" (Letters, Aug. 4) seems perplexed why anyone might not welcome the appointment of Salvatore Cordileone as the new archbishop since, as she puts it, "no one is held hostage" to the Roman Catholic Church's teachings.



I wish to remind her that the church makes it a practice to try to hold both Catholics and non-Catholics alike hostage by influencing legislation.



If the church would keep its nose out of politics and stop trying to impose its teachings on those who don't adhere to its particular brand of faith, I wouldn't care one whit who does or doesn't get appointed to its hierarchies.



Wayne Studer, Newark





Mayor gets boot

I find it remarkable that Oakland Mayor Jean Quan thinks the police ganged up on her for booting her car when she had over $1,000 of parking tickets prior to becoming mayor ("Quan denies implying police setup," Aug. 4).



How much illegal parking do you have to do to rack up that many fines? I'm sure she can park anywhere she wants now in Oakland without getting a ticket, but did she really believe she had some special lawbreaking privilege before becoming mayor?

Letter to the editor of the San Francisco Chronicle, 8-7-12
Thanks, NRA

The National Rifle Association should be proud.
Another shooting, in a temple in Wisconsin ("FBI to probe killings of 6 at Sikh temple," Aug. 6).
Several dead, many injured. Another victory for the Second Amendment to the Constitution, if you believe the NRA/Republican version.
Are loonies running loose with deadly weapons a "well regulated militia"? Are the loonies necessary to the "security of a free state"?
If many more goofies exercise their "right to bear arms," we the people are in serious trouble. Will we be the actors in a real live "Gunsmoke." Will it become necessary to "bear arms" to have any hope of living through this insanity?
Marshal Dillon, what shall we do? Please meet me at the Long Branch. I need your advice.

M.H. Page, South San Francisco

ROMNEY ELEVATOR

Speaking as a retired union elevator mechanic, and a staunch Democrat, I can't critisize Mitt Romney for building a garage with a car elevator. I would like to know if it was built by members of the International Union of Elevator Constructors, or was it built by scabs? Which is it Mitt? If it was a scab job, I hope your car gets stuck in he middle of the hatch, and the scabs don't know how to fix it. If it was a union company, you did one thing right. Probably the only right thing.

ANOTHER SHOOTING

The NRA should be proud! Another shooting today in a Temple in Wisconsin Several dead, many injured. Another victory for the 2nd Amendment to the Constitution, if you believe the NRA/Republican version. Are loonies running loose with deadly weapons a "well regulated militia"? Are the loonies necessary to the "security of a free state"? If many more goofies exercise their "right to bear arms", we the people are in serious trouble. Will we be the actors in a real live "GUNSMOKE" Will it become necessary to "bear arms" to have any hope of living through this insanity? Marshall Dillon, what shall we do? Please meet me at the LONG BRANCH. I need your advice.

THE TWIT

THERE ONCE WAS A CANDIDATE MITT

WHO WAS ONE GAWDAWFUL TWIT

HIS IDEA OF FUN WAS FOR PRESIDENT TO RUN

BUT HE DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH GRIT

TEA PARTY

The Nazi Party, aka Tea Party is gaining more and more power. Speaking as one who believes that history is the key to understanding the present and future, the lessons of Germany in the 1930's and 1940's should not be forgotten. It's a very short trip from far right to Nazi to war against the power of reason. We have been there and prevailed. Will we prevail again? Do not assume so. Be ready to fight.

Huggy-Huggy

I've never seen so much hugging as I've seen in the Olympic Games.
As the late great Herb Caen would say, "a sodden thoght". Maybe the Chicago Bears football team could take up hugging when they make a good play. Then they could change the team's mane to, drum roll please:

THE HUGGIE BEARS.

Wouldn't they be cute.
