There’s an unusual sign in the window of the former Nob Hill See’s Candies of 1519 Polk Street. Landlord, horse farmer, fountain parker, and “911 Bounty Hunter” John Jenkel explains that the San Francisco candy maker has been evicted due to their contribution to the “Enron-sponsored” 9/11 attacks. The eviction notice places the candy company in a plot involving Warren Buffet.

Confused? I was too, but I think I’ve figured it out:

This is very interesting and insane sounding but for some reason, it all sounds plausible to an eerie plane.

The original note almost reads like poetry, it’s so disconnected and randomly emboldened — the way gossip columns like Page 6 make the names of the glitterati stand out. I was going to try to mock it by pointing out the holes in the logic, but realized that this is not the point.

I’ve been engaging in a debate with some fellow media minions about whether letting wackadoos shout their obsessions to the world is a good thing, because it lets them vent — or a bad thing, because other loons are attracted & emboldened resulting in them thinking that they have a mandate from all the other frustrated masses, the Great Silent Majority, to mix up the fuel oil & fertilizer in the back yard & rent the Ryder truck, and strike a blow for whatever cause/group/coven of leprechauns that has been infringed upon…

Anyway. Love the flow chart. Can you tackle health care next?

I saw this sign the other day, I didn’t have time to read it and try and figure it out. I got a few sentences in and my eyes glazed over.

Someone already did a flowchart for the current health care mess system. I’m sure there’s a good one of the proposed health care plan, but all I can find are the crazy fox news ones.

I think you found the perfect storefront for Frank Chu to move into.

THANK YOU for the graphic and window into this landlord’s troubled mind… I miss See’s.

Forget it, Jake. It’s San Francisco.
