Interesting how the language has changed over the years. They started out as "illegal aliens". Corporate america needed their labor to build all those houses for the housing boom and they became "undocumented workers".
Then the financial institutions and cell phone companies wanted the "undocumented workers" as customers but how can you loan money and open up accounts with an "undocumented worker".
Call him an "immigrant", you are not against immigrants are you???
Maybe everybody knows this, but here is an FYI for those interested in Muni Schedule and changes.
After looking at the SFMTA site, I found that there will be huge route changes happening today after 2:00PM. Look Here for specifics.
Cameraphoneboy will be happy to see that there is a secret map of the changes... SHHHHH! Don't tell anyone.
Now if only those tards at the Muni could solve poverty and world hunger! Feh. Those slacking ignoramuses better not be taking the day off today. We should get Joshie Wolfe to videotape their scandalous actions. He probably has lots of free time now that he's out of the slammer. They can't get away with this - They are public servants after all and we have the sunshine clause!
God bless the North America. sigh! I wish I lived in a city with a real public transit system. Even Joshie knows that our system would be much better if run by those in the black tshirts / bananas AND if they were from Yurope.
