» Egg prices are rising due to recall! FUCK YEAH!
Woohoo! Make those suckers like a hundred dollars each! They’re someone’s baby, after all. Actually, If I were to ever have a baby (IUD, don’t fail me now!), I’d probably sell it for less so maybe I should stop making that argument. You might say, “LAURA! BABIES ARE OUR MOST PRECIOUS RESOURCE!” And to that I say, “Also our stinkiest! Think about it!”
Think about it.
[Thanks for the heads up, Eve!]

According to SF Gate, wildlife officials in Los Angeles say 25 California brown pelicans are being treated for hypothermia from the ongoing storms. I can’t handle it, I want to hug them all and bring them no-chicken soup. This is precisely why I don’t work in bird rescue.
Apparently the birds are also trying to deal with ass-nasty oily ocean water that’s all super-gross because of the storm runoff. They don’t know how many pellys are still out their suffering but THEY BETTER GET OUT THERE AND SAVE THEIR ASSES BECAUSE PELICANS ARE THE SHIT.
If you’re down there and can help, please contact the International Bird Research Center in San Pedro. More info on the birds here.

Dream of opening a vegan restaurant in SF? NOW IS THE TIME, SLACKERS! »
According to SF Gate, in 1987, San Francisco banned new restaurants on Noe Valley’s 24th Street because residents felt they were losing local shops to eateries that drove up rents and caused traffic jams. Well bitches, that shit done happened anyway and yet, about 15 storefronts sit vacant (or basically decrepit and filled with extreme right-wing INSANITY) and the babies of Noe Valley demand eateries! NOW HERE’S THE MILLION DOLLAR IDEA. Wait for it.
OPEN A VEGAN RESTAURANT (or 15!) in this health skinny conscious neighborhood! These fools will fall over backwards for delicious, nutritious vegan food (WITH A KID’S MENU THIS IS KEY) that will satiate their entire family plus maids (if they’re a Benevolent Ruler). And since these fools are all richie riches, you can hike the prices up and perhaps even survive in this hostile environment.
I’ll be real withchu, as a vegan who lived in Noe Valley Of The Dolls, it was HARD TIME for eatin’. There are very few vegan friendly establishments on the street and hardly anywhere tasty period. If you get something good in there, you could attract the locals and perhaps even all the scroungy vegans in the mission who need a classy date spot. Seriously, we’ll love it. Now is the time to get in there and give the babies what they want! You can do it! Please do it! FOR THE LOVE OF BABIES!

» Obama reverses pledge to stop funding factory farming!?
In an article in SF Gate is to be believed (and we’re currently looking for more backup on this), Obama’s campaign platform vowed to “close the loopholes that allow mega farms to get around (payment limits) by subdividing their operations into multiple paper corporations. Obama will take immediate action to close the loophole by proposing regulations to limit payments to active farmers who work the land, plus landlords who rent to active farmers.” This was one of the reasons many of us were stoked to vote for him. Well, that and he wasn’t John McCain. Super unfortunately, tomorrow the USDA is publishing final regulations that will preserve the giant loophope that allows big commodity farms (including factory farms) to remain eligible for subsidies.
If this is true, it’s the biggest bunch of bullshit. We’re doing some more investigating but honestly, Obama has to be careful, he’s gonna lose his base with shit like this. It’s extremely upsetting and NOW THURSDAY IS RUINED THANKS OBAMA.
Thanks to Food Fight for bringing this to our attention! Buy all your groceries from them!
