Bill O'Reilly spouts off against SF.

This beautiful picture of Coit Tower is from SF Images. It's a great site - a way to tour San Francisco without being there. I stare at this particular picture often. Seriously. It's like being there.

Bill O'Reilly is having another hissy fit:

O'REILLY: Hey, you know, if you want to ban military recruiting, fine, but I'm not going to give you another nickel of federal money. You know, if I'm the president of the United States, I walk right into Union Square, I set up my little presidential podium, and I say, "Listen, citizens of San Francisco, if you vote against military recruiting, you're not going to get another nickel in federal funds. Fine. You want to be your own country? Go right ahead."

"And if Al Qaeda comes in here and blows you up, we're not going to do anything about it. We're going to say, look, every other place in America is off limits to you, except San Francisco. You want to blow up the Coit Tower? Go ahead. "

He says some pretty out there stuff, but this is just outrageous. On the other hand, if SF ever decides to go ahead and be their own country, my husband and I just might go out and join them. I've only been there once, but I fell in love with the place.

You know, Bill, in America we get to disagree with one another. It fine to say what you want to say, but don't try to tell others that they shouldn't disagree. If the citizens of SF want to ban military recruiting in schools, and a majority wants it - that's democracy. Don't say it's OK for al Qaida for blow up something because they disagree with you.
