GLAMOUR SHOT

Euro super-couple Alain Delon and Romy Schneider.

Just because.

YOU CAN'T BITCH IF YOU DON'T VOTE

Polls open at 7am and close at 8pm.

Also, for those who aren't sure:

Vote no on Prop. 16 - The YES ON 16 campaign was bankrolled by PG&E

Rafael Mandelman for San Francisco City Supervisor (District 8)

For you Republicans out there: Vote for Steve Poizner (Republican candidate for Governor): Meg Whitman has not only not voted, but spent $86 million dollars for the primary (of which $76 came from her own wallet). There is nothing that gets my gall more than someone who thinks they can buy their way into public office, Democrat OR Republican. Besides, Mr. Poizner is a reasonably liberal Republican and I don't have an issue with that.

Vote for Tom Campbell (Republican candidate for U.S. Senate): He is running against former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina for the Republican nomination in the battle for Democrat Barbara Boxer's seat in November. For the same reasons as Meg Whitman, I am against Carly because she not only has NOT voted in the past, but she's trying to buy her way into public office with this "vanity campaign." Also, she was a terrible CEO of Hewlett-Packard.

Also, just for the record, The Steamingpoop blog wholehearted supports Jerry Brown (D) for Governor and will happily vote for him in the general election this coming November.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MR. WINNEBAGO

Celebrating 100 years of housing the town trash.

IT'S NOT EASY BEING GREEN

I will give San Francisco the credit it deserves in its efforts to be the "Greenest" city in America. It's done a pretty good job, but my walk through Golden Gate Park yesterday shows it still has a long way to go.

The park seems to have an issue with litter, it's everywhere. There doesn't seem to be enough garbage cans around and park users are too damn lazy to carry their trash out with them when they leave.

I picked up a couple of pieces of trash yesterday and spent about ten minutes looking for a garbage can. When I finally found a group of them, they were locked.

??

So strange.

I'LL HAVE A BLT ON LIGHT RYE NOT TOASTED, AN ORDER OF FRIES WITH RUSSIAN DRESSING ON THE SIDE, AND A 7-UP OR SPRITE, THANK YOU

My favourite order from the diner around the corner. The Empire Diner, 10th and 22nd, New York City.

I doubt I'd have the balls to place that order today.

PICTURE THIS

Just a shot I took in Golden Gate Park this afternoon.

PRACTICE WHAT YOU PREACH

Special thanks to Facebook friend Dean for this priceless photo taken at a local BP Gas station.

CLOWN WHITE

Just when you didn't think the news from Arizona couldn't get any worse.

A mural that was painted on the side of a school building to promote green transportation is the latest lightning rod in a series of racial issues in the state.

The Principal at Miller Valley Elementary School in the city of Prescott has asked the artists to "lighten the skin tones" of those depicted on the mural. It seems there are several races portrayed in the mural.

I'm saddened to announce that the artists are going ahead with the changes in skin tone.

Prescott City Council member Steve Blair has had a lot to say about this matter, as well. Mr. Blair hosts a talk show on local station KYCA, where he said:

"I am not a racist individual, but I will tell you depicting a black guy in the middle of that mural, based upon who's president of the United States today and based upon the history of this community when I grew up, we had four black families - who I have been very good friends with for years - to depict the biggest picture on that building as a black person, I would have to ask the question, 'Why?'

Huh? He's not even making any sense, but wait, it gets better.

Mr. Blair also goes on to say: "I'm not a racist by any stretch of the imagination, but whenever people start talking about diversity, it's a word I can't stand."

I'm curious, Mr. Blair, what word is it that you can't stand? Is it the word "Racist" or the word "Diversity?" He later went on to say "the focus doesn't need to be on what's different; the focus doesn't need to be on the minority all the time."

Wow, what an ASSHOLE.

By the way, anytime you begin a sentence with the phrase "I am not a racist," then yes, you ARE a racist.

NAP TIME

This was my recent weekend ride, the 2009 Chevrolet Impala, in carjack-me White.

I'm not sure how GM could let a car that was once so cool become a coma-inducing snooze-fest. There wasn't even a port for me to plug in my MP3 player.

Obviously, it was not an upgrade.

FEED ME, SEYMOUR

On tonight's menu, we have Spaghetti with Sicilian Meatballs (made from locally-raised, grass-fed beef), topped with fresh-grated parmesean cheese. It comes with organic Zucchini that was locally grown and sauteed in olive oil with a little salt and pepper.
