Great Jumpin' Jehosophat and Darn Rooty Tooty Tooting - It's a Done Deal!
Thar's Gold in Them Thar Hills at the San Francisco Mint! And The SF Taxpayers Union just might strike Black Gold by drilling for the Mother Lode of the source of oil on Gavin Newsom's head!!
Yee Hah!

OK, I will sign up for the Gold Standard Society today! Oh, wait, I
already belong to the San Francisco chapter of the gold standard
society. So, I will work with the Taxpayers Union right now, until
the Gold Standard Society takes over. Deal?

As Curly of the Three Stooges was noted as saying; " Soitantly -
Nyuk Nyuk Nyuk."
Or as Tonto once said to the Lone Ranger; " Kimo Sabe - me see sign
of tax revolt."
At which the Lone Ranger said; " Might be a good time to invest in
more silver bullets as hedge against market downturn until the
country gets back on the Gold Standard." The Lone Ranger then
asked, " Tonto - have you heard any more on those ancient Indian
legends about the Lost Gold of The Conquistadors?"
And then Tonto said, " Kimo Sabe - If I tell you about ancient
Indian Legend can I stop hunting down silver bullets which miss
target and join SF Taxpayers Union?"

what's the chorus going to sound like and who gonna be the Concert
Meister? Will the sing out group get invited to sing it out at
Union
Square at High Noon to entertain passer bys? Or will it be more a
sedate Chamber performance at City Hall at the Board of Supervisors
meetings or in the Mayors Office?
