The Bush Recovery

Here's a fascinating story from C.W. Nevius, a columnist for the San Francisco Chronicle:

"San Francisco--the liberal, left-coast city conservatives love to mock--could be undergoing a transformation when it comes to homeless people. Although the city would still be a poor choice for a pep rally for the war in Iraq, indications are that residents have had it with aggressive panhandlers, street squatters and drug users.
"Maybe there has been an epiphany," says David Latterman, president of Fall Line Analytics, a local market research firm. "People have realized they can hate George Bush but still not want people crapping in their doorway."
