Aqua Teen Hunger Force terrorizes Boston! Oh, wait... more like Boston Mayor Terrorizes Boston over ATHF.


It's not an oversight, when you have a long history of purposely using the wrong words.
Bush plans to speak to the House Democratic Caucus at its conference this weekend in Virginia.

On the president's schedule, that event is referred to as the "House Democrat Conference."




Bush gets dissed at a diner - guess people aren't as impressed wth him as he thinks they should be.
But on Tuesday, the surprise was on Bush. In town to deliver remarks on the economy, the president walked into the diner, where he was greeted with what can only be described as a sedate reception. No one rushed to shake his hand. There were no audible gasps or yelps of excitement that usually accompany visits like this. ... In Peoria this week, many patrons found their pancakes more interesting. Except for the click of news cameras and the clang of a dish from the kitchen, the quiet was deafening.

"Sorry to interrupt you," Bush said to a group of women, who were sitting in a booth with their young kids. "How’s the service?" As Bush signed a few autographs and shook hands, a man sitting at the counter lit a cigarette and asked for more coffee. Another woman, eyeing Bush and his entourage, sighed heavily and went back to her paper. She was reading the obituaries. "Sorry to interrupt your breakfast," a White House aide told her. "No problem," she huffed, in a not-so-friendly way. "Life goes on, I guess."

Our family is starting to plan a trip to SF, and we've got some questions:

1. When's the "best" time of the year to go?
1a. Since we have a couple teachers in the mix, we might need to plan for summer; if it's not part of the previous answer, when's the best time in summer to go?

2. Where do we Absolutely Have To Visit While We Are There?

3. Are there any particular eateries we should make sure to visit for a certain meal/dish/drink?

4. What other questions should I be asking?


Oh - and, um, what exactly DO you do if there is an earthquake?
