The question is, how many women are unemployed or underemployed (commensurate with their skills) compared to men. An underemployed woman is an underpaid woman. The devil continues to be in the details. Subject for a piece.— February 7, 2016 6:01 p.m.

You call yourself a football fan?
Yes, but look at who isn't in jail that should be. Look at who met with the previous regime before taking office and gave the criminals around a trillion or so. I'm more suspicious of nice guys than them that don't take no $hit from nobody.— February 6, 2016 10:06 p.m.

It's not like in the movies. They don't make the threats or perform the hits themselves. There are creative ways to disappear you. Natural causes. ME's and coroners are inept, corrupt, and stupid. Where do you think new viruses come from? Don't eat out. Don't take vacations. If you feel a sting, don't slap the area. Call 911. I was digging through some old files and came across a hand-written desk memo from by young boss warning me to stop talking to reporters. He dropped dead in a public place not long after that. Natural causes. He was a hyper, very frightened man. He was third from the top of the organization, and had a lot more pressure on him than I did. I suspect he started out innocently enough, but kissed his way up to a level of higher responsibility. I was threatened with death twice. I quit. Not that I expected promotion, but I would have feared it. Look at who dies and look for a pattern. Look for who quits. Look at the gaseous turds that float to the top. Look at where they go upon retirement. Double-dippers, triple-dippers and up. Start attending the bars frequented by the staff. Be subtle. Talk football--anything but what you want to know, but listen to whatever they want to talk about. Do not buy drinks--at least right away. Don't rush. Don't tell the truth about anything. Make sure your stories are consistent. Eventually, it will come out, but only when they're ready. Use common sense, but do not try to be clever. Ergo, ego goeth before a fall.— February 6, 2016 10:01 p.m.

Another book. The Golden Geese may well rise up, but by the time they get a round tuit, it will be toooo late. But their effective slaughter will mean a return to tribalism and monarchy. With no more goldeggs to steal, there will be no alternative left for the greedy except to turn on each other.— February 6, 2016 9:39 p.m.

I suspect Jacobs was just looking for a lasting tombstone. Among an endless list of cockamamie ideas for Balboa Park, that one has got to be the most insane. It would have loaded up the Cabrillo Bridge with perpetual traffic, created a dangerous place for pedestrians, and cost a bundle--just to park more cars. The idiots that "designed" it did not do analysis, they just went with whatever popped into their so-called "creative" brains. In the interim, do an overflow lot on the Arizona landfill and create a shuttle system that will be rapid (<10 minutes wait time anywhere in the park) and flexible (multi-systems) separating pedestrian from vehicle traffic (a Da Vinci principle) and creating lots of handicapped/infirm/elderly access (the present situation is a disaster--a few handicapped spaces here and there do not, alone, do the job. Enough for now.— February 6, 2016 1:56 p.m.
