Everyone wants a bailout.

Republicans had their corruption, their need to legislate morality, and their obsessive deregulation. Looks like bailouts and other "extraordinary measures by government" to save companies, will be what will end the Democrats' rule eventually, when people get too fed up with them. It sucks, but the Chron deserves to go under. We can't subsidize absolutely everything that's ailing.

What about the ice companies? Is it too late to save the ice companies? And there's not one decent livery stable to be found in the Sunset. I'm about ready to pop my celluloid collar over it. By god, this country's going to hell in a hand-basket, I tell you.

The Chronicle is hardly a "newspaper." It's mostly a bunch of opinionated op-ed pieces. Here's my opinion: DIAF. Nobody cares about your shitty newspaper. The sooner the Chronicle is gone, the sooner someone else can set up a real newspaper that would serve the bay area.

Let Pelosi buy the chron with her own millions. Leave anti-trust regs alone, you fool. I'll bet you wouldn't see anymore photos like the one up on SFgate this morning. Damn, she looks bad in that photo. I think she could build a 100 room mansion at 5th & Mission just for her and Paul and their brood, complete with private helipad and secret entrance for her republican and lobbyist buddies. Let them all eat Star-Kist albacore tuna salad made by the underpaid minority maid.

Delicate balancing act: Bail out the obsolete, unprofitable, and/or fuckups, vs. bail out education. You can bail out the newspapers but if nobody can read, why bother?

Pelosi goes to bat to keep Bay Area papers alive, even if there aren't enough buyers of Blame America First propaganda to make them pencil....

Is that the woman who came over from Cuba as a baby then had a feeding tube stuffed down her face live on television by a non-practicing Republican doctor and Jesus then 911 happened and we forgot about that sort of thing? Is it?

Brock has had some stellar photo choices as of late.

Wow. It's gotten to the point where I see this article with this picture and I just snort and forward to my friends. The internet kills my soul daily. Ok, not really, but whatever.
