Apparently a city near San Bernardino has passed a resolution withholding payment for travel to, or attending workshops held by, San Francisco. The City by the Bay has offended their delicate sensibilities in its government's anti-war stance, and many in Highland (the SB city) see SF as a bunch of freaks that should just be wiped off the face of the earth. Nice.
There's one quote I particularly like:
The outspoken McCallon was not willing to cut San Francisco any slack, especially after Sandoval's statement.
"It's a beautiful city," he acknowledged, "but I subscribe that to God, not to anyone up in San Francisco.
Hmmmm. Interesting perspective. The fact that SF is beautiful isn't credited to the foresight of its citizens (and zoning boards), and the fact that much of Red-state Middle America is gross and ugly is totally not its own fault. So if Highland isn't beautiful (I've never been there--but that seems a safe bet), then that's 'cause God decided it should just suck?
And we won't even go into the use of "subscribe"...
