Humor.
From the SF Chronicle, Dec. 9:
Editor — Lighten up, folks. It was comedy. It was parody. It was satire.
Please, San Francisco, don’t become like your humorless, Stalinist neighbor, Berkeley, where freedom of speech has disappeared.
The Chronicle story (”Video scandal rocks S.F. police,” Dec. 8 ) noted that Mayor Gavin Newsom, before condemning the video, “consulted in his office with his chief political strategist …” I think that says it all.

Editor — Regarding Mark Johnson’s Dec. 9 letter (”Is that all there is?”):
Q.: How many Berkeley Stalinists does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
A.: That’s not funny.
