My Pants were on, so what was the Big Deal?
Aren't we dealing in cliches to label all classical music patrons pretentious? Are some? Yes. Are all rock music patrons drug addicted losers? No. Are some? Yes.— October 18, 2010 5:08 p.m.
A Bikini on the Floor of The Senate
What a horrible thought -- Feinstein in a bikini on the senate floor. I'm going to go wash my brain out with soap.— October 18, 2010 9:38 a.m.
Wild Birds of Lakeside
We see parrots everyday here in La Mesa. They make a lot of noise while flying. But sometimes they eat the berries in our China berry trees. When they do, there might be 20 of them in the tree, keeping completely quiet, and perfectly camouflaged. A brief flash of red from their cheeks is what catches my eye. Then all at once they fly away making a horrible racket.— October 5, 2010 12:14 p.m.
The NFL in 60 Seconds
I'm with Ms.Grant. The NFL is unwatchable. 30 minutes of pre-game yack, kickoff, commercials, 3-and-out, commercials, punt, commercials, short drive, commercials, commercials, commercials. It's sports bastardized by commercialism. Even when the commercials aren't on, it's four seconds of action and 30 seconds of huddle -- incredibly herky jerky. I'd rather watch English Premier League soccer. The game is never interrupted, the action is fluid, and the fans are actually more passionate. Even domestic Major League Soccer is preferable to the NFL.— October 5, 2010 10:37 a.m.
The cheap motels on San Diego's Midway Drive, the vending machines
I see we have a feminazi in the room -- pushing the old fabrication that most women are sexually abused by family members only to repress the memory. It's a cornerstone of 70s feminist ideology, but it's been completely debunked. David, excellent and moving story. Bravo.— September 20, 2010 9:40 a.m.
Prop 8
Gringo, You're either missing my point or choosing not to address it. The point is the proponents of gay marriage are not pushing for the right to marry, they're pushing to redefine marriage to fit their agenda. The fact is, gay people already have the right to marry. It has to be to someone of the opposite sex, because THAT'S WHAT MARRIAGE IS and has always -- the uniting of a man and woman. Look at man in his natural state anywhere in the world -- boy meets girl, they fall in love, unite themselves in marriage, have a family, and the tribe survives. It's as natural as breathing. The idea that we modern people of the first world can legislate a same-sex version of that into existence is laughable. It's like legislating that all turtles get to be rabbits too. We're not God, people, we can't legislate changes in nature. I goes from laughable to offensive when people try to equate this silliness with what my black ancestors went through in the civil rights struggle. Stop using the blood and tears of my ancestors to give gravitas to your silly quest to redefine nature. Seriously. What's next? Are you going push for legislation that states gay men have the right to get pregnant and give birth?— September 3, 2010 11:32 a.m.
Prop 8
{{They were astonished that No on Prop 8 received little support from the African-American population. They reasoned that out of all the voting population, African-Americans would understand their plight more than most.}} Well, their reasoning is seriously flawed. Black people in the civil rights days were 1) trying to stop the lynchings, beatings, and rapes; 2) trying be recognized as fully human and as such deserving of every human right. What the gay movement is doing is trying to create a parallel universe in which marriage, an institution as old as time, is suddenly redefined to fit their political agenda. It's so silly. Marriage is what it has always been. No amount of legislation can change that. It's like legislating that 2+2 = 5. Nonsense. To liken that silliness to the life and death struggles faced by black people in this country -- and yes, I am of black ancestry -- is ridiculous and offensive. All that said, civility toward all is always a good thing. Thanks for illustrating that, Siobhan.— September 2, 2010 5:44 p.m.
Stellan Bengtsson, former world champion of table tennis, followed his wife to San Diego
What a delightful story. Somehow, it makes me proud of San Diego to think of a young refugee from Serbia blossoming here, and a world champion ping pong player retiring and coaching here. Brava Branislava.— August 25, 2010 4:23 p.m.
Is San Diego Wise to Save Water?
Uh... Founder... 19,539,200 is a little over 19.5 MILLION, not billion— August 3, 2010 2:42 p.m.
General Announcement, Please Read
I applaud you, C.Fish, for making the decision to walk on the sunny side of the street. The site, this country, heck - this whole world, need more people to do what you've done here.— July 6, 2010 11:13 a.m.
