No problem. Quan has dedicated her life to helping the downtrodden and the unions....she should get a free parking pass for life.

She’s not a Democrat, She passed that years ago. She’s a flat out Commie and OPD hates her guts. It should be fun to watch.

I like the blurb later in the column about the idiot with the grenade. A little more effort would’ve won him a Darwin Award.

leftists make rules for us peons, not for themselves

OT: everyone, don't miss the "Fool's luck" item further down on that web page....

Some guy had a "live" Russian WWII hand grenade which the bomb squad had to blow up on the spot... but the kicker is that when they tracked down the previous owner of said item, he mentioned that he'd tried unsuccessfully to pull the pin (Darwin Award honorable mention of the day):

Then he added: "I'd tried a couple of times to pull out the pin, but I couldn't get it to budge."

The Won had a slew of parking tickets from his years at Haaavard (late 80s-early 90s). He didnt pay them until he announced his candidacy for president.

I don’t know. This is Oakland. Could be anywhere from $75 up to $250 a pop, I believe.

This is all not surprising in the “Do As I Say - Not As I Do” mentality of most Dems.

But beneath that was a more interesting story, of which I’ve copied and pasted here:

Fool’s luck: San Francisco sheriff’s deputies were carrying out a foreclosure eviction out on 47th Avenue the other afternoon when they found something that stopped them dead in their tracks.

Inside a box in the garage was what appeared to be a hand grenade.

The deputies called the cops, who called the bomb squad, who came out and confirmed that, indeed, it was a live, World War II, Russian-made hand grenade.

It was also decided that the grenade was too volatile to transport, so it was blown up by the bomb squad in a special box.

Inspector Jeff Levin said the house’s 60-year owner told him the grenade had been left in storage by his 40-year-old former son-in-law.

Levin tracked that man down to a Tenderloin hotel where he lives to ask how he got hold of the deadly explosive.

“A friend gave it to me back in 1993,” the clueless ex-son-in-law said. “I thought it was a paperweight.”

Then he added: “I’d tried a couple of times to pull out the pin, but I couldn’t get it to budge.”

Anyone living in the Tenderloin has serious issues.

Oakland was just placed very high on the list of the USA’s Most Dangerous Cities.

Things don’t look like they will get any better.

It is a cesspool there.

Will not go anywhere near the place for any reason.

That’s what Meg Whitman said in the campaign—didn’t go over too well. Actually, Oakland has many affluent neighborhoods.

Quan has dedicated her life to helping the downtrodden, unions, minorities, illegal aliens, and other national security risks, destroy the economy, our freedoms, and our system of govt....she should get a free parking pass for life.

I hear Follywood is giving Quan the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award for her "tolerance and compassion."

She was also on the Nobel Peace Prize's How Can We Top Obama Subcommittee-----until North Korea won by bombing South Korea.
