thank you for reporting on the go-arounds with opd, dellums and various bit playaz. and schemes.

OPD needs to work more with its foundation. what is tucker doing. who is tucker. where did he come from. we need a new chief hired from within!

please.

and if the city legalized mj sales, we’d have safer, regulated sales, and the price would drop and that portion of the “drug war on america” would end.

S&P and their ilk are all criminals in bed with the financial wiznizerds, ibankers (ex-goldman sachs ceo treasury secretary Paulson), wall streeters (bear stearns), pigs (jp morgan), moneychangers (soros) and wall street journalists (cnbc all good news all the time)… so this doesn’t impress me? every bit helps??

yeesh.

oakland schools- we could use retirees as teachers to teach kids about actual shit, like finances, how to cook a godam meal, what vegetables look like and where to buy them, credit card games, the real history of the us instead of the published crap, why oakland and the US are in the shitter, and so on.

Interesting tidbit – the area south of Lake Merrit used to be known as New Brooklyn. That’s why there’s a bunch of Dutch-sounding names down there (Brooklyn, Hanover, etc.)

This is the same S&P that had Bear Stearns rated at A a day or two before it collapsed. Go figure.

Max, the article is still online — VSmoothe linked to it above. The “Sanfrooklyn” silliness came about because the Times couldn’t decide whether it is Oakland or SF that is analogous to Brooklyn. (For instance, the Mollusk surf shop in SF, which opened a branch in Williamsburg, was another one of their examples.)
