- From Carolyn Jones, pointing the finger at Berkeley, in the San Francisco Chronicle

And the point is?
Not that anyone is in favor of human rights violations. And China certainly has a miserable record.
But who asked the supes? Falun Gong has been handing out leaflets and flyers in front of City Hall in protest of the torch for weeks. "Team Tibet" has an active and vocal group of supporters and is coordinating protests. Archbishop Desmond Tutu is coming to town along with actor Richard Gere.
Was the thinking that there wasn't going to be enough publicity? Because, right now, this looks suspiciously like a group of local pols running to the front of a parade.

That it passed Tuesday at the full board meeting 8-3 seems to indicate that this wasn't exactly a ticking time bomb of controversy. After all, who doesn't want to vote against human rights violations?
The larger question is: Who should? Even Daly admitted afterward to the Fog City Journal blog - he is a public official who only speaks to media members he considers friendly - that the issue was 'a bit out of reach of the San Francisco supervisors.'"
-- San Francisco Chronicle columnist, C.W. Nevius, pointing that finger right back at San Francisco.

Alright CMC, I'm stumped.
ReplyDeleteIs there any connection between "the finger" and religion? Not that I can think of, so you win this round.
