San Francisco to Name Street After…Nancy Pelosi?!

Naming streets for famous locals is a pretty routine practice, no matter what city you’re talking about. Still, many cities tend to avoid naming those streets for the sorts of people who arguably bring shame on the city (This is probably why Dahmer Avenue, Bundy Way and Madoff Street aren’t common names).
That, and "Dahmer bisects Sally" could really be taken the wrong way
So even if it’s routine, one has to question the judgment of the city of San Francisco for naming a street after former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
The face the local homeowners' association must be making after seeing their new property values
The street in question will go through San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park, as depicted in this picture, courtesy of the Washington Examiner:
Astute readers will note something about the location – namely, that Pelosi will intersect with both Martin Luther King Jr Drive and John F Kennedy Drive. Also, Lincoln Way isn’t that far off. Granted, Pelosi’s street is very short and unlikely to see much motor traffic, but still, putting her in the presence of streets named for such august figures arguably strains good taste.

Posted on May 21, 2012 at 9:47pmWouldn’t naming a rest stop after Pelosi be more appropriate? Then her name could be associated with a-holes for all eternity.

Posted on May 22, 2012 at 5:59pmThis means nothing to me! California stopped myself and 3 buddies from going there when they put a ban – stopped us from using small dredge for finding gold. I used to spend 10 to $15,000 a year and sometimes I didn’t even break even. The last time we dredged we came up with a total of 3 ounces of Mercury each. In the 1850′s it was used heavely. So all you folks out there be sure to eat plenty of salmon so you don’t send it out of state. It has been proven that fish are healther where the sediment has been stired up but the politicians out there don‘t get it and they don’t waNT OUR MONEY.

Posted on May 22, 2012 at 10:15pmCome on folks, Nancy deserves this title of haveing a street named after her! While being head of the Senate for the first 2 years of Obamas adm. Both houses controled by the Democrats did something that will never be done again. Call it a record if you like. This record of spending $ 3 Trillion bucks in 2 years will never be done again. I understand it is in the Guniess Book of World records.

Posted on May 23, 2012 at 12:36amHow fitting, her street will go through the Golden Gate Park, just like she’s gone through the gold in our nation. Her expense account on that plain is proof positive she, roasted and ate the golden goose. Now she’s on a campaign to destroy everything of value in America. Her Monument should be on that street and should be a statue of her wringing the neck of a Golden Goose, named Tax Payer!
