I wonder if Mayor Newsom's anti-litter initiative renders redundant the no-smoking-in-the-parks rule. The rationale for that, as Supervisor Alioto-Pier stressed, was concern that children were picking up cigarette butts and putting them in their mouths. Secondhand smoke, outdoors? Get real.

Mayor Newsom, if you're reading (instead of preparing for this weekend's party), memo to your people: Every day people are feeding pigeons in front of Walgreen's on Point Lobos and 43rd Avenue.
