Burning Amp? SFO

They used to do this at that raw speaker (as in driver) shop on Shotwell in SF. [Name escapes me.] Shotwell is a street that is appropriately named. Far better to spend a bit of money and use Fort Mason by the Marina.

The economy is absolutely picking up. A few weeks ago I was in San Francisco and I only had to deal with 3 panhandlers in my trip from the BART station to MOMA. Usually I see half a dozen.

They've all been hired to write Ruby apps.

Not all of them. Most are working to re-elect Obama.

Trust me, panhandling is their job. One of the papers years ago had some staffer get all scruffy and do pan handling. The take was about $80, which was double the minimum wage at the time. Oh, and their tax rate was less than Romney's 15%.

Marina.

There is one that is usually on a corner about a mile from here. He is a nasty piece of work, so I just ignore him. He and his wife were living at a church for free, getting food stamps and he was out there begging. A member of the church lost her home and stopped to ask if anyone could help her find a place to live. He cursed her out and threatened to beat her up. She has severe Rheumatoid Arthritis and is so bent & twisted she can barely take care of herself. That was when they were tossed back out on the street.

I assume it's a take-off on "Burning Man", rather than a literal expression of how the amplifier might operate in your house.

So, an attempt to be edgy and whatever else that name implies.

There's a coffee shop called St. Moritz right beside a ski slope that has a cosy-looking fireplace right in the middle.

The flames are (re)produced on a flat-screen monitor, the ski slope (all two football fields of it) and snow are artificial, and it might be 40-50°C outside. About $80 for a day pass including ski lift and jacket, $50 for a couple of hours.

You know you're dealing with the lunatic fringe in consumer electronic design, when 'burning' is considered a heart-warming feature of the finished product in your living room.

This in an era when flames are displayed without heat, heat is produced without flame and anything producing smoke is considered to be a health hazard, if not simply unsafe.

Ditto on the "Burning Man" spinoff. Some people don't know that Burning Man started with the "burners" on Ocean Beach. Maybe as early an 1985. Burning on the beach was never legal, but I mean, hey, it is a beach. It is not like you are going to set something valuable on fire. It wasn't like the fire department was going to waste their time putting out the fire. But the city cracked down from time to time, so it was moved to the Nevada. I never saw any naked women around the fire, though lots of dope smoking.

The naked women were further north, over at Baker Beach.

Probably give as much to charity as Democrats, like Biden, too.

Marina.

Starting off with a triple of lies like that, there is no reason to read further. You lefties have lost it.

It just proves that liberalism displays a character flaw. I do hope miso will take some good video of his head exploding next Tuesday and post it up on utube.

30% is very little?

You mean 'Have someone else take a video', because there wouldn't be enough neurons left to do anything.

That's to the Mormon church. Miso is right, it is not a charity.

So, do YOU give away more that 30% of your after tax income?

So all churches, such as the catholic church, are not charities? The law says differently, moreover i seriously doubt that the Mormon church gets more than a third of that 30%. That is 20% to other charities. How much do you contribute? How much does Obummer?

?-)

Much like Willard, you fail to produce anything factual. You call me a liar, but don't explain what the lies are. This is also known as just blowing it out your ass.

Romney hasn't taken a reporter's question for 3 weeks now.

That isn't the question. Nor are many people in a position to give away

30% of their income. The point is giving the money to your church is not like giving money to Oxfam, Doctors without Borders, Habitat for Humanity, etc.

So, what do you claim they do with the money?
