Haha...AWESOME.

Dreadlock-guy for Mayor '08!!!

This is why we don't take California seriously.

Although the kid has a good point about water conservation and public transit.

For Francis, it was the first time he was able to debate Sanders face to face after already spending more than $1.3 million of his own funds on his campaign, the centerpiece of which has been an unprecedented television blitz.

And that is why a homeless man can't get elected to office. 20-30 people might show up to a debate...thousands more will see the TV ads, billboards, etc that only one of the guys can afford putting up.

Did they arrest him for stealing the show? He has a shopping cart big enough to carry all of the chairs and tables in it? Why doesn't he just use the shopping cart as a home? Duh.

So? Homeless people steal all sorts of crap.

Remove all Republicans: I just have to wonder how remains homeless but keeps a cell phone?

This is what I was wondering. He doesn't have a home, but he has enough to buy a cell phone, pay the charges for it, and get internet access on it to boot. He sounds like one of those guys that buy a Ferrari and then sleep in it.

Cell phones are cheaper than homes...doesn't mean he owns a Ferrari.

Remove all Republicans: I just have to wonder how remains homeless but keeps a cell phone?

I would guess it's by (1) not maintaining a permanent residence, and (2) paying for cell phone service.

It is punks like that kid which debase our political process. Take a shower, hippie.

Somebody made a big mistake allowing the dredlock guy to get in on this election.

The suits are usually pretty careful about making sure that life stays as bland and tasteless as prime time TV.

And to make matters worse he had to burst the bubble that sports are really important.

If this keeps up people might start thinking.

I'm pretty sure the suits will get things back under control before that level of crisis develops.

*Shakes head*

I know a White guy with dreads here in San Diego that gets compliments on 'em from Black Rastafarians all the time...it's pretty funny actually.

Oh damn...this guy references the Giant Douche vs. Turd Sandwich episode of Southpark as the reason he's getting into politics!

I wish I lived within the city limits so I could vote for him...I'm in San Diego county, but the City of El Cajon.

Damn welfare cell phone queens.

Raygun tried to warn us about those guys.

Wow, that is a really nice set of dreadlocks, 10/10 my friend. Now pass the doob.

Remove all Republicans: But internet access on your phone? I mean, seriously. It's sort to surreal to complain about waste from the Chargers while being homeless using your cell phone to take pictures to put on your blog.

I'm just making stuff up at this point, but maybe he uses the internet to find employment, keep some kind of life together, buy and sell copious amounts of weed, etc. Who knows?

But the guy doesn't have a house, at least give him access to Fark. He needs to have something going on in his life.

I have a phone just like his on a prepaid plan. I don't need a permanent address since all I do is plop $30-50 a month into a prepaid phone card purchasable at any convenience store, retail store and even some Mexican restaurants. Internet access costs $1 a day, and is not always on. I can on the fly say I want the internet access, press a button, it asks if I wanna pay $1 for 24 hours of internet access on the phone, and boom. I have internet.

The phone, for note, ran me about $30 at Wal-Mart.

Do said Black Rastafarians laugh into their hands when the White Guy walks away? Here's how I imagine it:

BR: "Say, mon 'dose are some fine lookin' dreads- you lookin' down wit' da 'cause!"

WG: "Say, thanks! I'm really working hard to cultivate a counter-cultural image. I'm not a typical white person you know! You can tell by my Che shirt that I renounce my privilege and align myself with the oppressed! And I like world music!"

BR: "All right, mon!"

I'd also like to add that I'm technically homeless. We're capable of a lot more than you think.

Actually, I've watched more than one Black Rastafarian approach him and ask for tips on keeping their dreads as nice as his. Part of the reason his dreads are so nice is that he's been banging an older Black lady for a while now, and she does his hair, treats the dreads, rubs 'em with patchouli, etc. Plus, he's not a pretentious douchebag...he doesn't own a car, doesn't have a job, he skates everywhere he goes, and listens to non-stop reggae music...it's not a fad for him...

From hanging out with Eric, it's actually kid of hilarious. Kids will come up and be like, "I'm totally down with your religion." To which he will respond, "really? You're down with atheism? That's cool." Followed by confused looks from the interlocutors.

Can't blame him, really. Buying a home and keeping it is nothing less than getting into heaven anymore, it's so nebulously expensive.

That guy wants to be mayor.

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

We need competent, sober, grownups to be our leaders.

If we turned power over to hippys like that we would never have the great successes that we enjoy today like the victory in Iraq, the rapid and complete recovery from Katrina and our robust economy.

whidbey: Can't blame him, really. Buying a home and keeping it is nothing less than getting into heaven anymore, it's so nebulously expensive.

Especially in San Diego...why ya think I'm in Hell Cajon?

SubBass49: .. he's not a pretentious douchebag...

If this is true and he isn't participating in cultural misappropriation to compensate for having an insufficient sense of identity prior to his transformation, I withdraw my teasing and stand corrected.

Pretty funny response. How is he with his hands and with firearms? If he's really an anarchist he'd better be pretty farking proficient.

>> fail to realize that in the event of true anarchy my skin would be made into wallets within hours or days...

Fails to understand the difference between anarchy and Anarchist political beliefs.

I like that this guy's shaking it up, but it'd be a disaster if he was elected.

/also, how can he be an anarchist and still want to be mayor?

twilson2: Fails to understand the difference between anarchy and Anarchist political beliefs.

Yeah we have these crazy ideas that anyone can run for office if they want to.

We like to call it Democracy. It is pretty zany!!!

Sir Roderick Glossop: How is he with his hands and with firearms? If he's really an anarchist he'd better be pretty farking proficient.

He is working on Parkour the last I talked to him. He's also a pretty good shot. We've gone out to the high desert, etc. and shot a few rounds. He's a much more intellectual anarchist than the cliche "fight the power" teenage type. He believes that the open market is able to be more representative of the will of the people than any other manifestation of democracy.

twilson2: Still failing

Still burning. Crowds still howling with laughter at his insistence that he is "down with the struggle" as the flames engulf him.

CatJumpJohn:
/also, how can he be an anarchist and still want to be mayor?

Small steps. One can hold anarchist ideals and still understand that you can't make them all happen overnight. He wants to be able to spread his message and start the process of change, not start the be all and end all anarchist revolution.

DarkPERL: He is working on Parkour the last I talked to him. He's also a pretty good shot. We've gone out to the high desert, etc. and shot a few rounds.

Well anyone who is into parkour and firearms can't be all bad. I withdraw my objection to his existence.

Actually, I loved his response in re: the Chargers. I am only breaking his balls here because my neighborhood is lousy with guys with similar appearance/ ideology without any evidence of redeeming aspects to their personalities (or lack thereof) e.g. shooting, free-running, or razzing professional sports in highly public settings.

>> tiiger: This is why we don't take California seriously.

CatJumpJohn: I like that this guy's shaking it up, but it'd be a disaster if he was elected.

Clearly you don't live in San Diego, the last several establishment mayors have already been disasters. The bar is set pretty low.

DarkPERL: Small steps. One can hold anarchist ideals and still understand that you can't make them all happen overnight. He wants to be able to spread his message and start the process of change, not start the be all and end all anarchist revolution.

So despite what he says, he wants to be the lesser of two evils?

>> I am only breaking his balls here because my neighborhood is lousy with guys with similar appearance/ ideology

The whole farking country is lousy with the so called "grownups" we got in charge now who have spent years telling us how lousy it would be if the hippys ever got into power.

>> I like that this guy's shaking it up, but it'd be a disaster if he was elected.

"Fortunately" after 7 years of con rule nobody would be able to tell the difference.
