The Political Hat

     Another “quick takes” on items where there is too little to say to make a complete article, but is still important enough to comment on.

     The focus this time: Class Warfare!!1!

     Not all is well is the Progressive utopia of San Francisco and the broader bay area.  So-called “counter-culture” anarchists, hipsters, and other refuse have decided that their Progressive overlords aren’t all that spiffy when it is their neighborhood being “gentrified” and otherwise fundamentally transformed.  Protesters stood outside the home of Google Ventures partner Kevin Rose with flyer’s of an indecent nature:
