[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCSaF4KC3eE] It's so irresponsible of a "journalist," especially one so prominent as Bill O'Reilly to refuse to understand the basic fundamental principles of the First Amendment. It's shockingly ignorant, even by his low standards, that he doesn't get why websites like Gawker and others cannot be prosecuted for publishing the hacked Sarah Palin e-mails. I'm not sure which bothers me more: His apparent lack of intellect or his perverse interest in loofahs.

The quaint SF subway paper pass. The public transportation in SF is in need of some serious modernizing and upgrades. Note the date stamp on my pass: it reminds me of elementary school when I would check books out from the library and the librarian would stamp my book.
I noticed a street sign advertising the Frida exhibit, which I became excited about. I did some research on her in college but had never had the opportunity to see her art in person, so I added this to my trip itinerary.
Passing by the front of the SFMOMA (the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art).
I've been working out a lot.
Another view of the...structure and the SFMOMA in the background.
Kaizar jumping in front of the nearby MLK memorial.
The memorial had quotes from Martin Luther King.
Community organizers.
Word.
The CNET building.
Kaizar showing me the scenic areas of his city.
Akash! Omar! Omar was in town for a hot minute doing a law firm interview before heading back to Northwestern.
I ordered a beer...and didn't expect it to arrive like a fruity beer-tini. Whatever. The watermelon was delicious.
After dinner we walked past this gallery and through the window I saw this scene. It struck as a bit bizarre.
Heading to the neighborhood of the Mission with Kaizar and his friend....name?
And me on the other side obnoxiously taking the middle seat.
"Okay, can I have the camera back now?"
"Seriously? You're not giving back the camera? Fine."
It seems like stores push out holiday promotions earlier and earlier each year. It's not even Halloween yet and I'm already thinking about Christmas.
And then soon after this I faded and crashed hard core. I'm blaming it on jet lag. We went to Akash's apartment to drink and hang out. I ended up passing out on the couch, too tired to notice that my beer bottle had tipped over and beer was pouring all over my jacket. Oops.

How the Wall Street mighty have fallen and this absurd photograph of a Lehman employee leaving the office with his novelty battle axe seems to embody in someway the pillage the village attitude that ultimately left the financial industry's flanks vulnerable. Although it is still pretty bad ass to have a battle axe at your office. I want one.

Nothing screams relaxation like waiting for a flight at Newark Airport at 6 AM! Jealous? If not, you SHOULD have been.
My awesome $5 breakfast on Alaska Airlines. Jealous of this breakfast? If not, you SHOULD have been.
At the Seattle airport I discovered that my gate was located next to the 
Of course the one time my cell phone ran out of battery juice was on this morning, so I walked a bit in the terminal looking for an outlet to charge my cell phone. Exciting.
Palin Airlines. The most experienced airline in the WORLD.
Make-a-Wish that Wall Street recovers soon...
I was reading my Economist and really dug the cover to their technology section in this issue.
On approach to San Francisco airport.
I'M KIDDING. I LOVE IN-N-OUT and it's always the first place I want to go after I arrive in California. I got the double-double animal style 
Kaizar and his questionable alma mater allegiance as evidenced by his Stanford sweatshirt, a school that he has no affiliation with at all.
Kaizar and his roommates' nice apartment.
A few afternoon beers before heading out for dinner. Your random trivia of the day: Skol also happens to be a drinking toast in Danish.
Kaizar was taking a really long time drinking his Fernet. So I helped him by pouring some of my PBR into it. He was not pleased, but after some encouragement, i.e. challenging his manhood abilities, he was able to finish it.
PUMP IT UP YOU BITCH.
I was so exhausted after a grueling day of travel and passed the F out.
Fear Factor host and comic Joe Rogan recounts on his blog witnessing a guy's first date with a girl who unbeknown to the guy was an actress performer in the porn industry. And he took photos of the happy couple.
