It's Official: Federal Government Seizes Fannie and Freddie. Will Reform Come Next?
Response to post #8: Reading your columns and columns referred to in your Blogs Don leads one to the conclusion that all of our institutions such as the City of San Diego, Wall Street, Main Street, the Treasury, Congress, White House etc. are all "as safe as Treasury paper" which is to say they are all worthless, or soon to be worthless. Under these conditions, the most important question that remains to be answered is How Long Can This Go On before "valueinvestingisdead" because as the WP column said "This is an industry that has lost all credibility -- with investors, with corporate clients and with the public" along with your reality check "Wall Street doesn't give a damn about its public image" and the fundamental failure mode fact being that Washington doesn't give a damn about its public image either except once every four years, maybe? How Long Can This Go On?— September 8, 2008 2:27 a.m.
Conservative Wall Street Journal Heaps Praise on Liberal Mike Aguirre, Citing His Pension Battle
Response to post #23: It explains why the U-T "Ballot Recommendations" are printed out from the Internet for delivery to voting place workers to help them fill out their ballots, and proves how Golding, Murphy and Sanders got elected. The U-T is most certainly the major cause for turning kids off against reading because grammar school kids used to have to give newspaper current events reports and the U-T is too mendacious to be allowed by schools as a news source. And the U-T has gone from being part of the Fourth Estate to becoming the leader of the Fifth Column destroying San Diego.— September 7, 2008 11:03 a.m.

Response to post #13 "Too few San Diegans read the Wall Street Journal. When the citizens voted overwhelmingly to let the mayor appoint his own auditor, I concluded that almost nobody in San Diego was capable of reading the Journal.": Actually Don I just discovered a Science News article "College Illiterates" that proves the reading problem may be much worse than we wanted to imagine: http://www.sciencenews.org/view/generic/id/36190/… As for how badly they fail to think, Sanders, the auditor corruption, Goldsmith, Palin etc. keep proving every day that things are worse than we ever want to have imagined, but the reality is that stupidity is our new cultural value.— September 7, 2008 6:01 a.m.

Response to posts #12 & 13: Don, do you know anyone at Time who can update the Murphy article to focus their spotlight of disgrace on Sanders also? Maybe Time reads WSJ and can say that nothing ever changes in San Diego, we just keep going to hell destroyed by our degenerate Union-Tribune. We obviously need dumbbell remedial reading and thinking courses for those who keep voting for more corruption, firestorms and worse.— September 7, 2008 4:08 a.m.

Response to post #2: Response to post #2: The common failure mode here continues to be the total failure in San Diego leadership to pull ourselves out of the cesspool of corruption surrounded by firestorms. Either we recall, vote out or arrest the failed and corrupt leadership culture that Sanders represents, also including judges and corporate executives, or the future holds a lot more death and destruction in store for Gen Y and following generations than just firestorms and drought problems we are already experiencing. This no one accepts responsibility and no one is forced to accept accountability U-T culture must end and the WSJ just may provide the reality check we need to keep everyone from continuing to sleep through the San Diego U-T Age of Death and Destruction we are in until we all suffer the consequences up close and personal.— September 6, 2008 12:01 p.m.

Response to post #62: I thought up NORGAS because I appear to have overused NORC and I really do try to inject new ways to think about things even though the theme of corruption never changes because there is so much of it.— September 6, 2008 11:43 a.m.

Don, it will be very interesting how the U-T Rantitorials spin this one since WSJ confirms everything you have said so many times, so many ways for so many years. I hope the Reader puts out a Special Mike Aguirre Election "A rare politician looks out for taxpayers" Edition soon to wake up the brain-dead electorate that up until now has not deserved a Mike Aguirre as their Champion. I don't even want to imagine how fast things will go to hell if both Aguirre and Obama don't win.— September 6, 2008 11:03 a.m.

Response to post #58 What we really need first and foremost is a Fight Back For The People of San Diego Establishment with enough power to at least bring government and business executives who are directly responsible for hellacious deaths and destruction in the Firestorms to justice, like Sanders and Felsinger. If a corrupt establishment judge like Goldsmith becomes CA then it will prove once again that we still have a NORGAS (No One Really Gives A S***) electorate. And if we don’t start holding the most criminally negligent among us accountable then public safety will continue to fail the people of San Diego until we become a third world gangland and we will have no one to blame but ourselves.— September 6, 2008 3:09 a.m.

Response to post #52: Yes, I've seen those where people can lean out the tenement windows and electrocute themselves. Saw that in San Francisco in the 60s as a matter of fact, just had to lean out further because the CPUC required enough distance away from the window where they hoped you would fall out of the window first. Gordo cartoons were even better, especially since our streets are returning to looking like they did in the days of the wagon trails. Isn’t it great to be alive after the end of the Golden Age now that we have no honorable, moral and ethical leaders anymore, no one accepts responsibility and the courts immunize their corrupt buddies from accountability so ever more lives are at risk to firestorms every year now that droughts are becoming the normal weather condition. If you think Hoaxes are bad today, just wait to see the corruption multiply if corrupt establishment Judge Goldsmith is elected to replace Aguirre. Your blogs will multiply so that you have to expose the corrupt and incompetent 24/7/365 and still not keep up.— September 5, 2008 11:59 a.m.
