You mean Robin? Robin's going to the hoosgow?
O....M....G .... I cannot BELIEVE I did that!!!
I'm sure you know that I meant BERNIE Ward (w/apologies to the original partner of the Caped Crusader)

It unfolds thusly: I stroll the city streets, enter humbly into a cafe, or maybe a bookstore, boutique, log cabin, museum, dog kennel, crematorium. It does not matter, for wherever I happen to be, I will surely see something I want.
Perhaps it is that shirt you're wearing, or your shoes. Perhaps it is that nice ring, or your coffee mug, or your haircut or your contact lenses or your nipple implants or your charming effervescent smile, your small intestine, that painting, the bathroom tile or that used syringe right there on the floor.
What the thing is, of course, does not matter. All that matters is that I like it. And, as a devout American consumer, if I like it, of course that means I want it. If I want it, of course that means I must have it. And if I must have it, well, I must have it right now. What, you're gonna make me wait? The hell you are. Then the terrorists win.
Here is where it gets all dreamy: All I do now is reach out and touch the object in question, feel its must-havedness shoot through my sweaty, desirous fingertips.
Immediately I feel a vibration deep in my loins as a small bolt of electricity is pumped straight into my cerebral cortex, igniting a short-lived but totally delicious boost in serotonin, right along with another small hole in my credit rating...

Morford is getting misty eyed at the prospect of being unable to buy dainty little treats for his buddy Bert Ward, soon to be a new inmate in the Bureau of Federal Prisons.
Don’t worry Markie-Mark, Bert will wait for you.
Don’t know about his fellow inmates though.
Good luck with that.
Who is this pansy?
Whenever I see the above rant--and I've seen it thousands of times in the last 42 years--I always think, "This is what the libs don't like--FREEDOM. They can't criticize the fact that we have a nation which allows CHOICE (the real kind) for its citizens, so what do they do with their anti-capitalist rage? They portray ALL Americans as overfed, material-fattened pigs.
Then, when economic news shows people aren't spending as much as they used to, they shout "Capitalism has failed!"
What an old bore this guy is. That commie crap was old when I was a baby.

“...or the simple act of, let’s say, tasteful restraint.”
tasteful restraint and Morford. Two entities that do not go together.
He's a hermorfordite.
I've seen those same rants numerous times too. It's the total hypocrisy of the left shining through once more. When times are tough they rail about the rich having more things than the benighted poor who can't afford three squares a day and a roof over their heads much less the goodies the rich buy.
Now that even the poor usually have three color tvs and an assortment of other capitalist toys well then they rant about the awful consumer society. In short they decry the things the poor have that fifty years ago they could only dream about. That's the idiot leftists for you. And wouldn't you like to check Morford and his buddies toy assortments? Well ....considering what he's like, maybe not.

“Markie, shut up, stop whinin’ and get a life!”
“or the simple act of, let’s say, tasteful restraint.”
I’m sure Morford knows a lot about tasteful restraint.
San Francisco is about the last place I would choose to live in.
