The job-stealing scam — Texas is the biggest con
Tom may be right about Monaco. IMED founder Richard Cramer moved to Monaco because he had a passion for auto racing. Many pundits falsely claimed that Cramer moved to Monaco so the IRS couldn't reach his assets.— June 4, 2013 7:51 p.m.
Why the UT should be called the Union-Redneck
The $11.3 million debt service cost is included in the $17,466,309 figure.— June 3, 2013 8:52 p.m.
Why the UT should be called the Union-Redneck
In Fiscal Year 2013, the City budgeted $17,466,309 in operating expenses for Petco Park. The Padres are required to pay the City $570,850 in rent, and $927,430 in reimbursement for police services. And that's it. I do not know what the "ownership group" pays on the debt each year, but in fiscal year 2013 the City budgeted $11.3 million for debt service on Petco bonds. The Padres are not contributing to the City's $11.3 million debt service expense. I think the "ownership group" can and should cover the entire $17.47 million. If I remember correctly, the Port District built some parking structures with Port funds to support Petco Park. These costs should be included in the figure for total taxpayer support.— June 3, 2013 8:35 p.m.

I don't consider the term "white trash" to be a slur. The term is an apt description for a sub group of whites who have difficulty functioning in life due to alcohol, nicotine, methamphetamine, and sports addiction. In any event, I am finished contributing to this blog. No more.— June 1, 2013 11:01 a.m.
Accountant may lose license over fraud convictions
Ewing's website says he's a CFP and broker. The CFP website says he doesn't have a license and the California Department of Real Estate website says his brokers license was revoked. He just got out of jail and he's already screwing up. You can't make this stuff up. That boy's a Ewing. http://www.antonewing.com/About-Us— May 31, 2013 8:49 p.m.
Proposed Expansion Could Bring Trolley to UC San Diego
There's not enough poor people and welfare recipients in the area to make the UCSD extension feasible. This is a boondoggle to benefit the construction industry.— May 30, 2013 9:45 p.m.
More layoffs at Union-Tribune
The article in the U-T announcing the closure states the building was sold to the charter school for $7 million, so I assume the deal closed. I assume that the portion of the $12 million purchase price allocable to the newspaper operation is a total loss, at least it appears that way to me. The fact is, Papa's purchase of the NCT turned out to be a financial fiasco no matter how he tries to spin it. http://www.utsandiego.com/news/2013/may/28/unio...— May 28, 2013 10:28 p.m.
More layoffs at Union-Tribune
Papa Doug bought the NCT in September 2012 from Lee Enterprises for $12 million. He sold the NCT office building for $7 million to a charter school. The NCT probably posted at least $1 million in operating losses under Papa's ownership. All told, it appears that Papa Doug lost $6 million on the NCT in less than 8 months. A $6 million loss is certainly not a personal best for Papa Doug, but it is an impressive number nevertheless. Godspeed to these two sons of Ireland as they go forth and build their media empire.— May 28, 2013 10:18 p.m.

Rick Perry is the product of an in-bred gene pool. Dyed in the wool unregenerate Texas white trash. And he's damn proud of it.— May 22, 2013 11:46 p.m.
Appeals court reinstates discrimination case against Ace Parking
Hodges has a tough road ahead of him. San Diego judges are a den of thieves. If you shake hands with a San Diego Judge, count your fingers afterward. Hodge's chances of receiving a fair trial are nil.— May 22, 2013 10:42 p.m.
