The city was quiet today. Too quiet.
We always joke that San Francisco is the city that always sleeps, and it's actually no joke. This is not to say that nothing ever happens; on the contrary, we can't even keep up. There is an unspoken communal goodwill that manages to carry its own, even in the face of late-night, drunken activity. Parties rarely spill out onto the street. Bar fights happen in the afternoon out of consideration for the neighbours. Cars have learned to use their indoor voices. The whole city seems to suffer an asshole deficit.
We spent the afternoon in bookstores in the mission. It was lovely and quiet and we topped it off with an El Toro burrito. This vie-en-rose disney day was about to end. I went home and read an editorial piece in the Huffington Post.
According to the latest evangelical editorial blogs, Ted Haggard is a closeted, self-loathing meth addict because of his fat, lazy, sexually unavailable wife. Read Pastor Mark Driscoll's absurd advice for fellow religious leaders in peril.
I used to wonder when this 'new generation' of religious men would get their heads out of their asses and look for strength and leadership from their women, but Pastor Driscoll's mealy-mouthed and condescending response answers the question for me. Strong women make poor scapegoats.
Pastor Driscoll, suck my big metaphorical d**k. You wrecked my Saturday.
