-It looks like visitors to the Wharf will have to go somewhere else to buy their dope as the San Francisco Planning Commission voted 4-2 against it being allowed on the Wharf. Whatever you may think about the issue, you have to feel for the guy behind the dispensary, Kevin Reed, who is now 0-2 on pot clubs and has probably kissed plenty pretty, pretty pennies away. The argument that won the day came from neighbors of the club who feared what it would do to the neighborhood and business owners who feared it would scare off tourists. In what will probably be par for the course whenever these things get debated, the opposition was made up of people who live in the neighborhood and the supporters were made up of people who came from outside the neighborhood. The people who came in support of the pot club are apparently the only people in San Francisco who don't know how to score dope. Anyways, this whole medicinal marijuana thing is turning into one of those things where everybody supports it the thing, just not where they live.

-A recent web ad by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee showed pictures of flag-draped coffins carrying dead soldiers back from the war. You know, to show you what happens when you vote Republican. So the Republicans got all huffy and demanded the Democrats take down the ad because only Republicans can exploit soldiers. And what did our little Nancy say when told of the Republicans' whining? She told them, in essence, to go suck on it (link maybe NSFL). Naturally, the DCCC took the ad down a day later.
