2008, you're not so great.

We are only 17 days into the new year, and San Francisco's already seen this year's true colors: murderous blood-red. Really though. Already two people have been gunned down in the general vicinity of the 24th@Mission BART station and my favorite taqueria - just 2 of the 6 murders reported by murder-victim-clearinghouse blog SF Crime - and MUNI is running amok hitting pedestrians and vehicles left and right, most notably dragging a man (who had tripped while attempting to board) underneath it for two blocks. Across the bay, a 10-year-old taking piano lessons was hit by a stray bullet which bisected his spinal cord. Really though.
