My parents didn't buy my condo. I did. I suffer the mortgage payments monthly. It's furnished with the cast-offs of dead grandparents and things I found on the sidewalk. If you weren't such a hippie asshole, I'd invite you over for cocktails. I drive a 2003 base model Honda Civic. I don't have a tape deck, air conditioning or automatic windows. And I barely make the car payments, but I make them myself. The only aspect of my life my Mumsy and Daddy fund, other than our fabulous vacations, curried chicken sandwiches and my live-in servant, Yolanda, is my Fast Track. I have a real job, real bills and a real hobo that lives across the street.<BR/>Oh, and Gavin went to Public School. Redwood High, in Larkspur. Back when he was po'.<BR/>I attended St. Ignatius College Preparatory. Like Daddy, Gavin's dad, Jerry Brown, Mike Farrah, Sean Elsbernd, Joe Alioto Veronese...ugh, so you have a point there. <BR/>Oh, and hand to god, I had Top Ramen for dinner last night. <BR/>Call me an empty suit all you like. As long as it's well made.<BR/><BR/>I'm now off to berate Yolanda for serving caviar at room temperature. <BR/>See you 'round the Club. <BR/><BR/>Warm Regards,<BR/>Beth SpotswoodBeth Spotswoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13035619705636677614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11380345.post-81556695211546688702007-08-16T16:12:00.000-07:002007-08-16T16:12:00.000-07:00Dear anonymous: What does being a man have to do w...Dear anonymous: What does being a man have to do with anything, other than the fact that I'm gay and Beth is something of a fag hag?<BR/><BR/>As far as "ragging on the rich," let's get one thing clear. I grew up working-class mostly in the Santa Barbara area where I personally knew plenty of rich people who ranged from the Good and Charming to the Totally Fucked-Up just like any other class of people. What I'm not amused by is rich people using their money/power in ways that aggrandize only themselves and their narrow economic group while exploiting everyone else in the world. For a perfect example of the latter, check out Don Fisher and his nightmare family, who literally "own" Gavin Newsom and his handlers. Hope this clears things up, and next time you're going to lecture someone, don't be anonymous or I'll delete the comment.Civic Centerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12362422142667230626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11380345.post-28565236385350279282007-08-16T13:40:00.000-07:002007-08-16T13:40:00.000-07:00You rag on the rich, but every time you boost Beth...You rag on the rich, but every time you boost Beth Spotswood, you boost the rich. She lives in a "Ghetto" condo that Mumsy and Daddy bought. She loves the curried chicken salad sandwiches at the "O" Club, and charges them to Daddy's or her brother's account at the same Olympic Club. She went to the same private, rich high school as Gavin. You describe gavi as an empty suit, then how would you describe beth ?

Finally, in a morning deep sleep, I was awoken around 9AM by the telephone and somebody named Maria or Marcia or Marina saying, "Hi, I'm M- and I'd like to talk about Gavin Newsom's re-election," and I yelled at her with something close to a primal scream, "Fuck off!" before hanging up. These people are insane.Civic Centerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12362422142667230626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11380345.post-62867489814829589842007-08-12T22:14:00.000-07:002007-08-12T22:14:00.000-07:00You go for it!

Off the bat, I'm deciding between Josh Wolf and Ahimsa, but there may be other contenders.<BR/><BR/>Was phone-banked for voter ID by the Newsom camp on Saturday morning. NO thanks! Will be interested to see whether they manage to get me off their lists for further contacts -- it was perfectly clear I cannot be persuaded.janinsanfranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07548452260456734928noreply@blogger.com
