This video comps the two notorious versions of the ultimate Batman villain: the joker as played by Heath Ledger and Jack Nicholson. It truly captures some magic moments . . . .

The San Franciso Treat: Flagrant Fraud In Hillsborough

We haven’t had a really egregious, large-scale financial fraud around here in way too long, so it’s a good thing Hillsborough, Calif., conman Robert Brown brightened the headlines by ripping off about $20 million from clueless investors.
After promising unrealistic returns, Brown proceeded to take investors’ cash and just plain blow the wad rather […]

SAINT of the Week: Spam King Trashed in Jailbreak and Murder/Suicide Debacle

StarkedSF’s distaste for spammers readily encompasses their extermination, but soulless spammer Eddie Davidson went one gruesome step farther. After escaping from prison in Colorado, Davidson slaughtered his wife and one of his children. All this makes Davidson an instant SAINT (Satan’s Assistant IN Training).
Davidson walked from a minimum security prison, after which he went […]

StarkedSF to Treasury: Bail Out My Garage With Corporate Welfare

The plan for the Treasury Department to prop up shaky mortgage institutions like Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac is the most kaleidoscopically idiotic scheme I’ve ever heard of. The incredible scope of the plan just reflects the equally humongous scale of regulators’ abysmal failure to monitor both the mortgage market and Wall Street’s leveraged […]

Linker Barn: Weekend Warrior Edition

It’s business as usual by the bay, with the usual cast of characters–a murderer turned priest gets defrocked, Tour de Fat is underway, Care Not Cash is getting raked over the coals, and the Rude Pundit is taking a crap on John McCain.
Food for thought as the weekend rolls on:

Israel uncovers Bush assassination plot.

SAINT Award: James Tramel and Bleeding Heart John Does 1-99

It’s been far too long since StarkedSF has named a dreaded SAINT, or Satan’s Assistant IN Training. This one goes to James Tramel, the priest & convicted murderer who allegedly got into a manipulative sexual relationship with a parishioner at San Francisco’s Trinity Episcopal Church. And not just to Tramel . . […]

Surfing Birdbrain: Back on a Board after 25 Years

Although I have made widely-publicized statements about avoiding suicidal activities as a divorce coping mechanism, I somehow found myself out at Stinson with a 9′6″ Stewart during the heat wave last week.
Imagine, if you will, the end of Point Break, where Keanu Reeves’ FBI agent character lets thrill seeker Patrick Swayze choose an honorable […]
