Three Former City Officials Charged by SEC with Fraud Are Receiving Generous City Pensions
Response to post #8: Sadly true, the We The People concept isn't working out as well as our Founders had dreamed by a long shot Too bad tarring and feathering went out of fashion because Bloodsucker Davies and Deranged Rant Kittle are prime candidates as San Diego Public Enemies #1.— April 16, 2008 11:22 a.m.
Three Former City Officials Charged by SEC with Fraud Are Receiving Generous City Pensions
San Diego's worst problem is our corrupt judiciary who enable this larceny to continue by overthrowing the Rule of Law so that their U-T/Davies “Brash Cash”/“Bloodsucker” cronies can enrich themselves even at the expense of destroying San Diego’s quality of life. At this point, without BK, the bloodsucker culture cannot be stopped while Brash Cash Bloodsucker puppets like Sanders and Goldsmith are allowed to remain in office.— April 16, 2008 2:21 a.m.
City Chastened: New Proposed 2009 Budget Warns Investors Not To Use It in Making Decisions
Response to post #2: Needless to say, if Francis doesn't get elected and Aguirre reelected then We Are Screwed by the most corrupt politicians in San Diego history. And as you keep noting, if we don't kick the corrupt U-T/Davies mob out of government we shall deserve our fate as America's Newest Third World City. San Diego will be the city that the U-T destroyed with their corrupt, bloodsucker "Ballot Recommendations"— April 15, 2008 11:55 a.m.
City Chastened: New Proposed 2009 Budget Warns Investors Not To Use It in Making Decisions
I guess that translates to: The San Diego City Council reserves the right to continue to lie to the citizens and taxpayers of San Diego, but they are going to try to stop lying so much to Main Street and the SEC.— April 15, 2008 3:14 a.m.
SEC Charges Five Former City Officials with Fraud for Roles in False Municipal Bond Filings
Response to post #86: Powell told the truth to President Bush-Cheney and then followed orders like generals and admirals always do whether they dare to tell their "leaders" the truth or not. Dealing with Cheney is much more than a mere "turf war," it is one of the most hideous ideological struggles in American history. An honorable soldier such as Powell served his country at his best with GHW Bush back in the days when honor and integrity still meant something, but Powell was way out of his element when dealing with the Cheney cult where hellacious greed, world power and cultural hate are the paramount cultural values. Bush-Cheney is the Charlie McCarthy-Edgar Bergen act of the 21st century, but in the White House. The reason Cheney smirks so much when he is with Bush is to hide the fact that Cheney is in the ventriloquist mode. That’s why Bush is most unintelligible when Cheney isn’t around.— April 15, 2008 3:05 a.m.

Response to post #84: It was worse than that Don, the Pentagon failed our military by following President Bush-Cheney's orders without first preparing for war in Iraq, which is what Generals and Admirals do in America's Democracy until relieved of command for telling the truth to often. In Powell’s case he kept telling the truth and stayed until “relieved” because he was the only cabinet member representing America with worldwide respect for his honor and integrity and the White House used and abused him until they threw him away. It will be most interesting to stick around and read the history books about how close President Bush-Cheney came to declaring a dictatorship as has happened to so many other democracies before ours. And it hasn’t left office yet.— April 14, 2008 12:44 p.m.
SEC Charges Five Former City Officials with Fraud for Roles in False Municipal Bond Filings
Response to post #80: I think anyone, including civilian leaders of the military, who used Yoo's memo to commit crimes against Humanity should at least be court martialled, it also results in more of the same types of crimes against our military and America by our enemies. Discussion is not a crime, and I do not believe that Colin Powell found any such consideration acceptable. Rice stabbed Powell in the back to get his job so she is capable of anything.— April 14, 2008 2:02 a.m.
SEC Charges Five Former City Officials with Fraud for Roles in False Municipal Bond Filings
Response to posts #68 and 70: Fred Williams, I accept your judgement on McCrory, they should all be put in the same cell as Cunningham. Don, I agree and as I have said before, Yoo et al. must be tried for crimes against Humanity so we can begin to reinstate the U.S. Constitution as Rule of Law for Everyone in America, especially to require judges and politicians to practice Democracy again instead of overthrowing the Rule of Law with impunity like the do today. Neither party is protecting the Rights of We The People today. Why Yoo hasn't been dismissed is a mystery to me but then as I have also said before Berkeley has been going to Hell for decades, and don't forget they still build Hydrogen Bombs for Profit and sold out their scientific/academic integrity for $500 Million to BP Oil.— April 13, 2008 11:45 a.m.
SEC Charges Five Former City Officials with Fraud for Roles in False Municipal Bond Filings
Response to post #62: Actually Don "Cleaning up the judiciary should be a high priority in San Diego" is the most important priority in America. Former Justice Susan O'Connor made it clear in her opinion published in PARADE magazine that judges throughout America are overthrowing the Rule of Law with outrageously arrogant impunity. And as your columns and blogs prove continuously, along with current events like the Fed's Bear Stearns bailout, corporations have more rights and protection from our government than We The People. Thus the fact of life about American Democracy today is that San Diego judges and Supreme Court Justices aid and abet all other corruption by politicians and their special interests against the interests of American citizens. Therefore we must end the era of judicial corruption throughout America before we can even begin to solve our out of control social, political and economic problems that are destroying the American Way of Life today.— April 13, 2008 4:26 a.m.

Response to post #57: Sorry about the long sentence, I am an engineer who reads the WSJ where I learned my sentence structure. Anyway, corrupt judges are the #1 worst problem in San Diego and we won't begin to recover until they start putting the criminal judges and politicians in jail. The first, at the Cunningham/Greer level of corruption, that they must put in jail is former judge/mayor Dick Murphy. Until Murphy goes to jail San Diego cannot begin to stop the tsunami of corruption that the bloodsuckers are drowning us in.— April 12, 2008 1:18 p.m.
