#OccupySF is just like the Tea Party

Because Tea Partyers always carry shivs to their demonstrations and use them to cut cops:

One San Francisco police officer was slashed by a razor and another had his uniform torn and cheek cut in a clash with Occupy San Francisco protesters Saturday afternoon, authorities said.

About 3:30 p.m., near the Embarcadero and Broadway, police attempted to prevent marching demonstrators from blocking the intersection where MUNI light rail tracks are located.

A female protester emerged from the crowd and an “exacto razor blade attached to a pen or pencil-like object,” San Francisco police said in an email.

“The female slashed the inside of the officer’s hand and ran back into the crowd before the officer had time to realize he was cut,” police said.

Peaceful, tolerant, and sensitive. True American patriots, fighting for the rest of us.

Yeesh.

PS: Dear Ed Lee, as the newly elected mayor of San Francisco, may I suggest your first move should be to clear out the Vandals? I mean, razor blade-wielding anarcho-socialists can’t be good for the tourism your city so depends on. Just a thought.

Nanny-stater of the Month

My blog-buddy ST has ably covered the latest silliness from the Board of Supervisors Nannies in San Francisco, banning toys in Happy Meals unless vendors meet city-imposed guidelines, all in the name of “food justice.”*

That lead Reason.TV to proclaim San Francisco Supervisor Kill-joy Eric Mar its Nanny of the Month:

You’ll want to watch for the runners-up, too; with our cities and states in an economic mess, it’s nice to know our elected officials have their priorities straight – watching what you do.

*No fries, no peace!!!

Congratulations, San Francisco!

Not only have you captured both runners-up spots for Reason.TV’s Nanny of the Month, but you won the blue ribbon, too!  Tito, roll tape!

Well, done. Most impressive! 

I can’t wait for the season finale: the thrilling showdown between Gavin “Brylcream” Newsom and New York City’s mega-nanny, Mayor Michael Bloomberg.

Quote of the day: Mark Steyn on Arizona

The inimitable Mark Steyn on Mayor Gavin Newsom’s  boycott of Arizona, ordered in a moment of self-righteous grandstanding response to the Zonies’  new immigration law:

All official visits to Arizona have been canceled indefinitely. You couldn’t get sanctions like these imposed at the U.N. Security Council, but then, unlike Arizona, Iran is not a universally reviled pariah. Will a full-scale economic embargo devastate the Copper State? Who knows? It’s not clear to me what San Francisco imports from Arizona. Chaps?

Three points, nothing but net.
