Code Pink and My Yellow House

Marjorie Campbell, marjorie@marjoriecampbell.com

Well, Michelle Malkin got the story partially correct.  Code Pink has been "squatting across [Nancy Pelosi's] residence, aggravating the neighbors, and hanging their clothes in her trees".   I am one of the aggravated neighbors - and this "news" broke right outside my back gate through which I glared at the guitar strumming, wine-sipping, middle aged hippy ladies dressed like pink Mama Cass fairies, waving peace and anti-war signs at the honking cars streaming by.   

That was until the San Francisco police showed up and transformed my renowned neighbor's curb into a bright red, no parking - no protest oasis.

So here's the update, Michelle. 

The neighborhood has lost 5 parking spots and Code Pink has been zoned down the street, away from the Speaker's front door and house, in a stunning arabesque that landed the whole pink lot ... directly in front of my house.  If you visited during protest hours, and knew whose house was whose, you would ask, "Why, Code Pink, are you picketing that Yellow House.  Doesn't the Speaker live over there?"  During the last siege, we relied on the helpful San Francisco police to remove the Sunday, humming, fun-seeking protesters from our front steps, where they lounged lizard-like enjoying the sun, music and honking passers-by.

Thus we have another breath-taking display of liberals at their finest:  Nancy Pelosi's curb is cleared and Code Pink gets to picket my Yellow House.  Go figure.

I don't know whether to feel more sorry for you because of the moonbat convention in your front yard, or that you live in San Francisco. God bless you, your patience is stronger than mine would be...but then that's why I no longer live in CA, but in TX instead. Afterall, I have a particular fondness for sanity and civility.

If you are looking for a good deal on BB guns email me, I've got some friends that can hook you up...

I see a theme here and a good one...blare patriotic country music, Ted Nugent, and the like REAL loud!

Typical limousine liberal..not in my back yard...and she's not even there most of the time.

Good heavens. For once I'm glad I live in the middle of nowhere (kinda). I saw the suggestion of liquid fence - I doubt they would even smell it!

I wonder if you could get a court order to get them away from in front of your house. Maybe you should give Nance a call and see what she'll do about it as this is a nuisance created by her.

Fall is an excellent time to heavily fertilize your lawn and shrubberies with composted steer manure.
For an extra touch, water your lawn at dawn every day, to help the natural biological processes advance.
And the more sunlight on it the better.

[Roci]

Too bad we don't have something like "equal protection under the law" in california. Then you would be entitled to the same expectation of police protecting your private property rights as Nancy Pelosi.

Regarding CodePink, I've a thought to pass on to you.

"There will always be dissident voices heard in the land, expressing opposition without alternatives, finding fault but never favor, perceiving gloom on every side and seeking influence without responsibility." --John F. Kennedy

You have my sympathies. Is there really no recourse against this nuisance? Does your neighborhood have an association with rules that can kick out these selfish fools? Aren't residential properties zoned differently from public ones so that these sorts of shenanigans aren't allowed? Maybe you should call in a lawn treatment service so the "protesters" would at least have to stay off your grass for awhile. I like that fire ants suggestion too. I hope your suffering ends soon.

I'd suggest having a huge "Thanks Troops" block party- or at front yard extravaganza. Invite the local ROTC- oh wait, can't have those in SF. Hmm- invite some troops over. All branches. Have a BBQ.

Look for Liquid Fence at your local Ace Hardware store. Its used to keep deer away. You spray it on your plants (or the grass where they hang out). Use rubber gloves because it smells really bad - for about 24 hours. Reapply as needed. ;D

[Lorianne]

Have you considered Fire Ants?

[Pam]

I would suggest some Toby Keith patriotic music. Although I am from TX and live in the Bay Area now (moving BACK to TX in Jan), most of the people outside the south cannot stand his music. Put in some earplugs and go for it. They are slime. Actually, slime isn't low enough to describe it. Have you written Pelosi?

Dialogue about your feelings by loudly playing one of the best pro-soldier songs ever written, the extended version of "Camouflage" by Stan Ridgeway.

This is all very funny fellows - but I'd rather not give their cause a further cause, you know? It is San Francisco and they already note my snarling face and smile with blood shot eyes and say, "Don't you want to dialogue about your feelings?" Really, I think they'd rather enjoy sporting with me, my kids, my hubby and the Pug - right after they finish the cheddar and Cab.

[Scott]

I would recommend the garden hose should they come on yer property...

Failing that, a round into the soil should suffice...

[Spree]

American Flags, they hate them. Get two nice sized ones and stick them in the ground right in front of your house.

They will either move because god forbid they be associated with patriotism, or they will destroy them, where you can have them removed and arrested for destroying your personal property.

Nice touch would be a sign saying you support the troops that will simply make their heads explode.

Keep a camera, film them if they touch either the flag or the sign and have their asses arrested.

[Jerry in Chicago]

I love the Ted Nugent idea. Really loud. Or you could mix 5 gallon buckets of a mud and excrement slurry and periodically run up and pour it on one of them, alternating victims throughout the day...

[James]

I seems that liberalism can be summed up as appeasement through deflection (or at least in this case).

[Bookworm]

You have my fullest sympathy -- and you're absolutely right that the whole thing is a perfect symbol of liberal policies in action: use government to shift problems to become someone else's responsibility. I like the first commenter's Ted Nugent idea, although he may not be your cup of tea musically. Perhaps hour upon hour of John Phillip Sousa? The Star Spangled Banner? The Marines' Hymn? Any hymns?

Good luck. I hope you enjoy blissful solitude sooner, rather than later.

blare loudly ted nuggent music at them as much as you can stand it.
