Mayor Gavin Newsom, who seems to be getting a decent amount of ink in the Gray Old Lady these days, says the following about recycling:
It's purposefulness that could otherwise be construed as ego...[y]ou want to be the greatest city. You want to be the leading city. You want to be on the cutting edge. I'm very intense about it.
Well put.
Also, for your enjoyment, some footage of the Gav working it in Tel Aviv, Israel. Oy!

How about some recycling bins on the streets downtown then? In a logical world, you would think those would get priority over penalizing people. But this is Gavin Newsom's world, and we just live in it.
That would explain his devotion to flashy yet pointless projects like tidal power. Gruesome Newsom should worry less about being "cutting edge" and more about doing something about the quality of life in this berg. Maybe I should start scooping up the turds I gingerly step across on any given day and start mailing them in candy boxes to his tacky fiance, Madame Bumblebee. He's all style, no substance. And by style, I'm talking clearly early 90's, because that Brandon from 90210 hair do he's so devoted to is clear evidence that his fashion moment froze sometime around 1992.

Let me guess... none of it has anything to do with fixing MUNI or reducing homelessness.
Yeah, yeah, he's so "intense" about recycling. I saw him in a cafe, sitting at a table, drinking coffee out of a disposable cup, which he then threw in the trash, while everyone else was drinking out of porcelain.
Yes, I'm going to harp on this story forever, because he's as full of shit as a christmas turkey. He's trying to look like he's done something, ANYTHING, before he embarks on his bid for governor.
And angry young man, don't even get me started on his clinging-to-the-80's penchant for acid-wash jeans.
The Israel video is really classy. You can tell he has no idea what to say. On top of that his line at the end "so that Isreal can live for another 60.... another 600 years!" hahah. This guy is such a clown.
but to be fair, I wouldn't really know what to say either. Certainly I would have prepared a speech instead of talking out of my ass though.
Gavin rubbed the front of his pelvis up against my butt once. It has nothing to do with recycling (hmm, maybe it does) but I wanted to share.
The Israel thing is ALL about running for governor. You can just imagine now the glossy photos of the Mayor at Yad Vashem or the Wailing Wall (or the Dome of the Rock, for a different target audience) on fundraising letters and primary mailers.
If the Mayor ever actually did even 1/2 of what he has big talk about, he'd be pretty good.
But instead he spends all our money on big pay for city workers, blows out the budget, and we have crime out of control, a MUNI going straight to Hell, and plenty of filth on our streets that sure as heck isn't getting recycled.
And this guy wants to be Governor?
But according to a girl in my office, "at least he's pretty."
