Here are this weeks hot babes!

Oakland:
Usually we steer clear of annoying signature gatherers out on the street but wow, then we saw the blonde in tight jeans gathering signatures for Oxfam – sign me up! BTW, Oxfam is a worthy charity so check out their website and donate! Spotted in front of Pendragon books on College Ave. in the Rockridge  district of Oakland  - 8/4/10.

Berkeley:
Counter girl at Flight 001. She was most helpful and wow, what a bod! She should consider becoming a jeans model! The 4th St. shopping district of Berkeley is probably the best people watching spot in Berkeley.

Adam Curry offered Howard Stern 100 Million dollars a year to start podcasting at Mevio.com. Howard Stern’s contract with satellite radio titan, Sirius XM ends at the end of this year. Howard Stern has a big decision to make of whether to retire, renew with Sirius XM or go somewhere else. His current contract with Sirius was worth $500 million over five years, plus bonuses for reaching performance milestones.

Stuck between the nail salons and check cashing stores along Oakland’s Telegraph Ave., are a myriad of cell phone shops. Most of them are for Boost and MetroPCS. We were wondering, where did this Boost company come from? How come we usually see their shops in run down areas like Telegraph Ave. or San Francisco’s Mission district?

After a little research we found our answer:

Boost Mobile is an extremely popular wireless brand among urban youth…

About Boost Mobile
Based in Irvine, California, Boost Mobile, LLC, a division of Sprint Nextel Corporation, (NYSE: S), is a lifestyle-based telecommunications brand focused on offering premium Pay-As-You-Go wireless phones and services to the youth market.  Boost is among the fastest growing wireless services in the U.S. and now has 4.5 million customers – the majority of which are under the age of 25.  Boost-branded wireless phones with its exclusive BoostTM Walkie-Talkie service and Re-Boost® Cards are available nationwide at locations where youth prefer to shop, including national retailers and convenience stores, and merchants that focus on fashion, music, and action sports-related activities. Experience Boost on the Web at www.boostmobile.com

The take away from this is that Sprint created Boost with popular features tailored  for today’s “urban youth”. These include a loud walkie-talkie function, equally loud miniature speakers, and pay-as-you-go plans so you don’t need a credit card. The last feature is very popular among drug dealers and privacy advocates, as the phone can’t be traced to a name or credit card.  The reason why there are so many of these stores in West Oakland is so customers can pull-in and “Re-Boost” their phone’s account with untraceable cash.

Re-Boost your phone with some cash!

So if you want to keep it on the down-low, get one of these cheap ‘burner’ phones as a second phone and pay cash for minute cards!

Check out his crime map!

They should have listened to us and elected McCullough at least. He would be demanding some serious action by now, actually he always has. Time to wake up City of Oakland – you have squandered your treasure on useless social programs, subsidies for generations of the terminally lazy and on corrupt and wasteful public officials (the Edgerly clan). Now you have no money to hire police and the public won’t give you anymore because you are not to be trusted and are not accountable. Look at the pussyfoot way Dellums dealt with the Edgerly situation!

It’s obvious she doesn’t have the fortitude to get more cops. Her pacifist leanings have created an incubator for more blight and crime. She is also way past her prime. Time to retire Nancy.

Some facts are very telling. A friend of ours complained about the Chevron that we have mentioned in this blog. The response from Nadel’s office were very telling. First, she didn’t respond, she had an assistant send an email reply. Instead of grabbing the issue and solving it – they asked what we wanted them to do about it! So now it’s my job to get more police and to direct the police to actually arrest the bums that are aggressively panhandling the neighborhood in her district. Nadel’s office thinks we can’t solve the crime and poverty in her district so why bother. Needless to say, Nadel is very weak on crime.

Don’t vote for Brunner either. She is another over the hill, status-quo, make you feel good candidate that is weak on crime.

Elect Sean Sullivan and Patrick McCullough to City Council!!
