It is simply breathtaking to watch the glee and abandon with which the
liberal media and the Angry Left have been attempting to turn our military
victory in Iraq into a second Vietnam quagmire. Too bad for them, it's
failing.

Who says they based Cartman on no one?

I recently moved to the San Francisco Bay Area and the above describes
Golden Gate Park every day. The drum circle is at the base of Hippy
Hill near the Haight Street entrance to the park, but while I have
seen them take a piss among the trees, I don't recall seeing them take
a dump. The park is full of freaks, punks, individual hippies, and
sometimes traveling bands of feral hippies who set up camp for a week
or so. The drum circle is cool, though, especially on Saturdays when
a dozen or two hippies and blacks jam out. They can keep it up all
day long, starting out with some random beats when quickly evolve into
unique, full-fledged jam.

Dude, you make it sound like the entire city is one gigantic city-size
version of the band/cult The Polyphonic Spree. GG Park is just one
little corner that the predominating population of yuppies (mostly
guppies because, of course, it's San Francisico) have shuntedthe few
remaining hippies to.
