News from Fallujah
I have arrived in San Francisco and will be blogging sparingly the next few days. The flight was hideous -- six hours in a packed plane, me next to a guy with broad shoulders who occupied my airspace, and behind a possible jihadi (never profile the other passengers when in a bad mood) who had pushed his seat back in my face. I did, however, get through a huge pile of emails. Among them was a note from Michael J. Totten, enfolding a link to his latest note from Fallujah, where they profile relentlessly. Read the whole thing.

"I have arrived in San Francisco"
If you're in the Haight-Ashbury and you see some longhairs looking like holdovers from the late 60's, tell 'em "Ol' Loose" says hello.
Do NOT use the word "Frisco" under any circumstances. Don't even use "San Fran". Just call it "the City".
"and will be blogging sparingly the next few days."
"Min-DY! Min-DY! Min-DY! Min-DY!"

Good time for Mindy to step up to the plate? And where are those other lazy co-bloggers of yours? They're given a national platform and they have NOTHING to say?
How 'bout if you make Christopher and me co-bloggers?
We've got LOTS to say. Heh.
In other news, you guys want to see something amazing? Check this out, second item from the bottom, "Okay, Color Me Surprised".
This'll be one of those things where upon investigation it'll turn out the Chinese have been doing this for 6,000 years, but it was certainly new to me. And very cool.

Nope. That's just their politics. As a city, it's just gorgeous, with magnificent architecture, the Golden Gate Bridge, and the ocean's blue waters in the distance almost everywhere you look. Crisp, fresh air coming off the great Pacific, skyways all over hell and gone to skip around the city quickly, some of the best restaurants in the world, and the list goes on and on.
Politics: No.
Everything Else: You bet.

Perhaps this guy was a light skinned black man, or a coolie (as the legal director of the NE chapter of the ACLU was so profiled and detained; a "coolie" is West Indian slang for someone of mixed black-souh asian [India] blood or 100% Indian, usually in Jamaica or Trinidad). Perhaps he was Latino. Perhaps it was Steve Perry from Journey. He looks like an aging jihadi...and he's from San Francisco!
