Just watched the Factor and the issue was the homeless in San FranCRISCO. The local Hotels have started a campaign to protest the waste of money and no results. They have an interesting website, complete with a "forum"(more like a guestbook), where you can chime in.

coincidence?

[Archie Bunker on steroids]

What goods would that company sell?

candy canes n such

That is nuts. A good guess for the number of homeless people in a city like San Francisco is about 7500. So $200 million works out to $26,000 per homeless person.

I'll bet there are full-time hotel employees in San Francisco who don't make that in a year.

Make that Hershey's, Mr. Goodbars, Nutty Buddys, Blow Pops, and an ASSortment of flavored jock straps.

I want to know why those stray cats keep coming back, I gave them food already, why don't they just move along?

[Wondervixen]

Must be a Gay Bay thing.

If the photo was flipped, (which seems to happen frequently) the words on the sign would be backwards.

I noticed that that fruitcake has his wedding ring on his right hand. Is that a gay thing?

Yes.

GREEAATTT. I've been wearing my wedding ring on my right hand for 24 years, because I got married in the Orthodox Church.

"Pay them, and they will stay." (Meaning, if a bum stands on a street corner and asks for spare change, if you give it to him, he will return to that same corner.) So, if you give the bum on the corner a buck, you're paying him to stay there.

I have noticed that a lot of guys Straight and Gay are wearing the pierced ear ring.

I have forgotten which side they wear it on. Do the Gays wear theirs in their right ear and Straight guys wear it in their left ear?

[ALS]

Here's why they have a problem:

Being a Gay man, I have lived a life of persecution...And I see the homeless being persecuted here. It is disgusting. Obviously there aren't enough programs in place to help them.

The sign is a blank peice of cardboard...The wording has been digitally added.



Merry Christmas.

I want to know why those stray cats keep coming back,

I didn't think they still had a stray cat problem in San Francisco after seeing this. ;-)

I noticed the same all throughout the site.

hey, jump on over here , i'm having a blast pimpslapping some fruitloop back into a clue.

In case anyone is interested, the homeless census in San Francisco is 5400 to 14000 depending on who you choose to believe...using the median of the extremes (9700), San Francisco spent $20,618 per individual on the "problem".

Suposeing that one could find an apartment for $800 a month (not unlikely given the viscious rent control in SF), these "victims" would still have $11,000 to spend on Thunderbird and Crack....

San Francisco (Pelosi's District), is an abject example of the failure of liberal social policy...

Food of thought

[ALS]

Some guy on the Factor was claiming they get like $360 a month. That's not bad for a homeless boozer/druggie/chad poker. I guess the rest goes to the gummint homeless industry machine itself, to the tune of $1,358 per person, they herd through the system.

yep, democrats

[ALS]

btw - that's $1,358 per person, per month. And that's minus the cash they give them.

[Lancey Howard]

Yeah, I think that guy is "Greek" alright.
