" In 1729 and 1739 two London institutions changed the face of British
art forever, Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens under the management of Jonathan
Tyers and the Foundling Hospital for abandoned babies and England’s first

THE GALAXY, December 1870
MEMORANDA.
BY MARK TWAIN.
RUNNING FOR GOVERNOR.
A few months ago I was nominated for Governor of the great State of New York
, to run against Stewart L. Woodford and John T. Hoffman, on an independent
ticket. I somehow felt that I had one prominent advantage over these
gentlemen, and that was, good character. It was easy to see by the
newspapers, that if ever they had known what it was to bear a good name,
that time had gone by. It was plain that in these latter years t... 阅读全帖

来自主题: SanFrancisco版 - 关于这次大选的一个疑问
你们找一切风马牛不相及的奇怪理由来攻击SVCA 只能说你们完全进入疯狂状态, 逮着
什么咬什么。
Baker 那些Munger捐款居然被你拿来说 “baker 靠钱胜利“。 Sbranti 最后收的钱
是Baker 的几倍知不知道?
4倍!
SVCA 从来没说过自己是什么Baker的大金主, 那也太滑稽了。 Baker 钱少但能赢了最
重要的就是依靠草根一家家去扫街打电话, 这其中SVCA就是她最重要的草根组织。
大选第二天早上KQED 这种机左媒体都说Baker的胜利来自她”Mobilize local

campaign donation numbers全都是法定公开, 你不怕人去查?
很悲哀, 从 JK 以来, 现有若干华人团体, 其成员多有剪不断的渊源(或是之前网
上关系 或是各次运动的 共事), 最后弄得这样撕破脸皮, 为什么?桌子上没有什
么 “最大华人组织” 的王冠让你去抢, 但为什么闹这么厉害? 只能说某些人有私心
。 我记得现在的当红 共和党新星 Paul Ryan还是谁 ... 阅读全帖
