The Whole World is Watching
But is anyone listening?
Plans are under discussion to subsidize a ticket to the SuperBowl for an articulate homeless person to attend and hopefully become the spokesperson for homeless advocacy. It is imperative to get the real story instead of the government agenda.
If you are attending the SuperBowl and you see someone who is not as well dressed as you are, ask them: "Are you the homeless guy who got the free SuperBowl Homeless Person ticket?"

Punditry from the Bay Area has become inundated with so many strong topic possibilities we can only hit the highlights and hope for the best in our sporadic attempts to observe, analyze and comment.
DJ, please cue up "Street Fighting Man" , "Volunteers of America" , "Peace Frog" and "Won't get fooled again".
Have a "Broadway Joe" type of SuperBowl weekend.
