American murders a Canadian in San Felipe, Baja California

Murder during legitimate self defense? No comprendo.

State Supreme Court grants cities the authority to ban Medical Marijuana dispensaries

This is absurd. How is it that the citizens of California voted to allow medical marijuana, and yet the State Supreme Court can rule that cities may ban it? What is the point of the people in a State voting to have their laws reflect their beliefs, if certain individuals, especially those with influence on the courts, can undermine those laws? Well, at least it makes clear, in case anyone had any doubts, that our so-called democracy is an obvious sham.

Woman sues City of San Diego for excessive force by police officer during a Chargers game

I hope this lady gets quadruple of whatever she is seeking. Somebody needs to rein in these psychotic cops. They are going completely overboard with the use of (sometimes fatal) force. I don't know if it is because they are scared to death, or because they have been trained to take down attacking terrorists, and don't have the intelligence to know the difference, but they are clearly the craziest bunch of criminals we have on the streets. Between shooting unarmed homeless; beating unarmed men and women senseless; displaying road rage; shooting unarmed women and children; and the unnecessary use of tazers and other defensive weapons, it is quickly becoming clear that the police are in need of some serious counseling, at the very least! Don't they do any psyche profiling at the academy anymore? This is inexcusable.

For what it's worth: New York magazine noticed Bronx Pizza a while back

Ha! The best New York pizza is made in good ol' Sandy Eggo! Who knew? I did, so this news does not surprise me at all. I've always said you can tell good pizza by the amount of oil running down your arm while you're eating. Bronx is the BEST! I have the stained shirts to prove it. And notfanuttin, but...these prison release programs have turned out to be the greatest success stories we've seen in years. ; )>

Relief for Gaslamp moviegoers' parking woes

Thanks for the tip on the Market Parkit, Scott. I too, have not been there since the Horton Who's spoiled things. I just may go back to seeing movies downtown.

Car crasher destroys mailbox and signage in Carlsbad

Oh. Well then I guess it might be Cause #5. "Over-medicated young male."

Mexican public servants watch porn on the job

I would take this report with a very large grain of salt. It's the guy who is selling the porn-filtering software who is claiming the government workers are watching porn. And to say 9 out of 10 kids over the age of 9 have visited porn sites, accidental or otherwise, seems a real stretch. I don't think Mexican kids are all that different from American kids, so I imagine this problem exists here too. Not. This whole deal sounds like bullticky to me.

Dirty dancing for supper

It's a mambo, a rumba, a tango, and a samba, as the dancers glide across the floor; a quick sidestep into the office where the contracts get signed. The nod, the wink, the firm grip in the handshake. Drinks all around! Try the Chateaubriand, the caviar, your signature here, please. Let's keep out the riff raff with their low bids; only those you know get to dance in this club. And the beat goes on...sickeningly.

Ambulances chase politicos

Scratch, scratch; kiss, kiss; the palms are greased and it's business as usual in good ol' Sandy Eggo.

Point Loma High School film studio shut down during investigation into porn shoot

As they should be. It's the colleges that are surprisingly sleepy these days. There are so many issues now that should be confronted by some strong, militant protest, but all I hear is silence. I don't understand it. The administrators are taking millions home while the tuition just keeps going up, and there are loads of social issues that should have someone raising hell, but I don't hear a peep. Maybe these high school kids will bring it to the colleges. I sure hope so.
