Rise Against Lame Winters
Yep, the editors had to hack away some nice stuff. Good thing the internet has no space considerations and we could see the whole piece in its original habitat here. ...that's some fine writing-work there Christy...good on ya...— November 3, 2008 5:44 a.m.
Goldsmith : B I G Backdoor Money + Ultra Right Wing History = :(
Enro...oops, I mean Sempra, supports Goldsmith with under the table contributions to the ultra-right Lincoln Club. Yep, they just want the "right" kind of "responsive" government...the wonderful people at Enro...oops, I mean Sempra, like Jan Goldsmith for the dead ferret he wears on his head, not because he'll be a tool for the special interests and lobbyists from Enro...oops, I mean Sempra. After all, look at how Enro...oops, I mean Sempra, has done in the past, electing clean politicians like George Bush, Ted Stevens, and Duke Cunningham. Thank you Enro...oops, I mean Sempra, for taking back America for REAL Americans.— November 3, 2008 5:34 a.m.
Effin Effigy
Hey everybody! Let me invite you to my super-exclusive private Halloween ball this Tuesday starting at eight o'clock at Golden Hall downtown. That's in the Community Concourse, right next to City Hall at 202 C Street. You can't miss it. We're going to have Republican and Democrat impersonators, impressionists, bad-actors, activists, inside operators, and operatives all making effin effigies of themselves live and in person. Some would be politicians might show up, and I've heard rumors that the media is going to be covering any riots, brawling, or conga dancing that might spontaneously erupt through the evening. Some San Diegans are so thrilled to be attending my party, they've set up their own hospitality suites in nearby hotels like the Westgate or the Grant. Some even say there's gonna be an Obama party at 4th and B. I've gone to a lot of expense and trouble renting the whole civic center complex for this special event, and I'm hoping for a really good turnout. There are even rumors that Josh Board the Party Crasher may show up...if not, we've got his effin effigy ready for either immolation or hanging, depending on whether we can get a fire permit. Join in the fun, everyone! Come on down to Golden Hall. As both Mayor Sanders and the wise and venerable Dr. Dre would say: get your drink on and your smoke on might go home with something to poke on I welcome you to this once in a lifetime event, all my imaginary online friends, and have even bribed the city into enacted an law allowing you to park free at all downtown parking meters after 6pm. I'm looking forward to meeting you all in person. Best, Fred "Effin" Williams— November 3, 2008 5:27 a.m.
Does Ralphie Want a Red Ryder BB Gun or an Uzi?
I sometimes teach target archery. No matter whether the student is young or old, I'm right there beside them to make sure they have control of the weapon and aren't going to harm themselves or others. This is especially true if they're using a new bow, or for anyone under the age of 15, no matter how experienced they claim to be. I cannot imagine anyone handing an eight year old an Uzi. Maybe, under very tight supervision, you could have an eight year old firing a .22 rifle, but a freakin Uzi?— November 3, 2008 5:12 a.m.
Clawgate: Press Conference Called For Deceptive and Possibly Illegal Campaign Tactics in Gloria's Hit Piece
Gloria has slandered this man: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXUkqVVm59Q Calling Whitburn supporter Daniel Soderberg, the author of this video, a "special-interest" is like calling Gloria supporter Doug "Papa" Manchester a "gay-activist".— November 3, 2008 5 a.m.
We Heart Stephen Whitburn
Gloria: Please don't slap me any more, you know I love you and I'll do anything for you. Why do you treat me this way? Developer: Shut up Gloria, just be a good bottom and do what you're told. I paid for you, now you work for me. I'm taking you into the council chambers now... Gloria: Oh, why did I ever leave my principles behind...mother! Developer: Knock off your whining, it's time to shake your money maker. Council President: The meeting will come to order.... Gloria: I vote YES to the new condos! Give a subsidy to my top developer. Gloria: I vote YES to privatizing Balboa Park! Give away the citizens' property to top corporations. Gloria: I vote YES to bailing out top developers downtown! They need help from the taxpayers. Gloria: I vote NO to any more audits or corruption investigations! We need to save money. Council President: This meeting is adjourned, the next meeting will be held when the developers tell us and will be about whatever they want us to do for them. Have a nice day.— November 2, 2008 4:56 p.m.
Super Bowl MMXXVIII -- San Diego
I'm just surprised by the new server software that converts multiple asterisks into null text. That means I have to convert my naughty words like the four asterisk, "****" into "blit" or "4uck". I've already cleaned up my language and refrain from naughty words, and now they've taken my beloved asterisks away. Makes it difficult to format my posts...but I shall soldier on without bullets or swear word surrogates. Best, Fred "Muthafuka with a digital @i2d" Williams— November 2, 2008 4:33 p.m.
Overheard at City Hall
Don't forget Jim Madaffer's voting guide. It's very handy. Just vote the opposite. He's a big backer of the Stadium on Stilts.— November 2, 2008 4:24 p.m.
Super Bowl MMXXVIII -- San Diego
Vote No on Proposition B.— November 2, 2008 3:45 p.m.
District Three Doppelgangers
Oh! That guy who owns the furniture stores? I've seen him on television. But Fumber, you must try to be kind. Not everyone is as brilliant as you. Take a moment to think how you may have hurt poor Jerome's feelings...he might do something desperate, like putting recliners on sale and offering no payments for 12 months. You don't want that on your conscience, my good friend. Last time Jerome was feeling blue, he bought a whole warehouse full of mattresses, but forgot to get the box springs, resulting in a horrible scene at the Miramar store. Remember that? 42 people were injured from that incident alone, and Jerome ended up drinking heavily, spilling his beer all over the sleeper sofas. If those oak dining sets hadn't arrived soon after, who knows what sort of tragedy we might have seen. No, Fumber, you better take that back about Jerome...if not for him, then for San Diego's sake. Your friend, Fred— November 2, 2008 6:31 a.m.
