U-T Continues To Overstate Its Circulation Publicly, but a Potential Buyer Won't Be Fooled
Response to post #6: I trust you make that 10 mile drive in a hybrid so people in San Diego can use the fuel you save. The fact is that the U-T Editorial Board, Sempra's Board of Directors and our elected federal, state and local "representatives" all have one thing in common, they all betrayed the people of San Diego. This is in addition to the fact that American politicians and the Fourth Estate have destroyed the dreams of our Founding Fathers. Now Bush and the Neocons are turning America into a 3rd world country which is why Bush is in Beijing kowtowing to the communists surrendering and turning China into the new Land of Opportunity while the U.S. Congress has, so far in this new century, become known in future history as the Congress that sold out America along with the Neocons. The Neocons are some new form of communism and fascism, and Bush has turned them into the New American Chinese Communist Party.— August 9, 2008 12:46 p.m.

Response to post #123: I hope he is trying to get the residential ratepayers the entire $120 Million he was supposed to get for us because he still owes residential sewer ratepayers $80 Million that he gave to the business ratepayers instead (I guess consumer advocate means for business consumers only), then he had the audacity to fleece residential ratepayers $5 Million out of the $40 Million for court approved larceny. I'm actually waiting for your own exposure of Felsinger the Chief Fleecing Officer of Sempra who fleeces residential ratepayers even more than Shames, probably because Shames is doing the same thing to us with power that he did with sewer. The only winners are Felsinger, Shames and the court approved bloodsuckers. So Felsinger et al. are destroying the quality of life and the economy of San Diego. If you exposed him already, it's time for an update.— August 9, 2008 12:32 p.m.
U-T Continues To Overstate Its Circulation Publicly, but a Potential Buyer Won't Be Fooled
It's getting harder and harder to hear the U-Ts land on the sidewalks in our neighborhood every morning. The Sunday paper is downsizing to less than what the Saturday paper size used to be as we blog. My wife and I were talking yesterday about the old American way of life when families used to read newspapers and kids made reports on daily news stories as class assignments. With the rapid downsizing of U-T and L.A. Times pages it looks like we'll have to give up on them and take the NYT and USA Today as the last of the age of reading, discussing, learning and thinking about what is going on in the world at the breakfast table. Actually it's no fun reading about what is happening in America anymore anyway. All we need to do now is wait for Wal-Mart to start selling Soylent Green and then we won't need to think at all anymore, nor will we be allowed to. Who would have thunk that every politician in Washtington would evolve into Manchurian Candidates? This devolution must have something to do with the stuff that Wal-Mart sells already.— August 9, 2008 2:41 a.m.

Response to post #11: ANSWER: Doesn't matter, NORC anyway. When bloodsuckers start selling Soylent Green we had better start buying their stock with whatever money we have left because that is our only future.— August 9, 2008 2:20 a.m.

Response to post #120: How can we ever get out of a recession without any significant industrial economy anymore nationally, and with bloodsuckers like Felsinger locally? We screwed ourselves and we are going to stay screwed as long as we export production and jobs to China so they can become the new world power that America used to be? Don't bother looking forward to improvements in 2010, the Land of Opportunity has moved to Asia, and we let our own congress sell out America.— August 9, 2008 2:15 a.m.

Response to post #117: Thanks for the confirmation Don, I resisted buying at the "bottom" and waited for your assessment. Now please don't forget to warn us well ahead of time before "the economy really starts sinking" because I keep thinking that the hideous sellout of America by American capitalists exporting production jobs as fast as they can plus population increases that are exacerbating the failure of our economy, thinking that we might be very near some kind of tipping point that threatens to topple over 95% of American taxpayers into indentured servitude as the New American Way Of Life v.21C without any significant industrial economy anymore. Now back to Sempra Chief Fleecing Officer Felsinger who is selling out San Diego's future as badly as any of the Bloodsucker culture.— August 8, 2008 2:40 p.m.

Response to post #9: Don, we have a lot more than mere over-consumption on our path to hell and destruction to worry about. The facts are that socially, economically and politically we are being shoved over the cliff into the jaws of indentured servitude by acts of: 1. Corruption of America’s courts that have overthrown the Rule of Law as former Justice O’Connor documented http://www.parade.com/articles/editions/2008/edit… 2. Corruption of American Democracy as documented by Bill Moyers, with much more documentation already published and much more to come http://www.latimes.com/features/books/la-bk-winsl… 3. Corruption of our industrial, academic, scientific and political institutions as gravely warned by President Eisenhower http://mcadams.posc.mu.edu/ike.htm 4. Failures of American Leadership as documented by Lee Iacocca http://www.bordersstores.com/features/feature.jsp… 5. Failures of the human psyche as discussed by E.O. Wilson http://www.alumni.berkeley.edu/calmag/200609/tola… 6. Failures of American Capitalism as documented by MarketWatch http://www.marketwatch.com/news/story/eleven-reas… 7. Locally, corrupt San Diego courts long ago destroyed the ability of private citizens to overcome corruption that is destroying San Diego with outrageously corrupt legal fees that are infinitely beyond the ability of the common man to get competent representation and fair settlement, as was classically demonstrated by the failed $120 Million lawsuit against the City of San Diego for using residential water-sewer ratepayer overpayments to subsidize business ratepayer underpayments by lawyers who lost the case by selling out the residential ratepayers for a mere $40 Million (minus $ 5 Million court approved larceny for the “consumer advocate” lawyers who failed the residential ratepayers in favor of the business ratepayers again) http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/metro/20070519… Ad infinitum ad nauseam— August 8, 2008 1:56 p.m.

Response to post #115: "Most of the public is apathetic and won't get aroused until the economy really starts sinking." You'll be sure and warn us well ahead of time won't you Don, because right now I'm still trying to figure out where Mad Money Cramer got his latest things have bottomed theory. Thanks for admitting "Most of the public is apathetic" which is just another way of saying NORC.— August 8, 2008 12:03 p.m.

Response to posts #5 & 6: Thorstein Veblen, awe what a most wonderful name from the past, too bad very few people read, think and remember the past anymore because we keep falling back into the abyss. "gilded age" plus out of control poverty, the "good old days" have returned for sure because NORC. Sorry to keep bringing up NORC, but that was really the name for the grim reaper also.— August 8, 2008 11:59 a.m.

Response to post #2: Since America now has the most corrupt courts in the history of democracy, as current San Diego economic, political and social decline and fall events continue to prove, SuperBloodsuckers will end up with far more than 40 percent of the financial assets.— August 8, 2008 2:31 a.m.
