Can I be the Secretary of Defense ? Or a five star general with no loose lips ? We need order here on the Blogarossa. I think it takes courage to post a story or a blog so I would be supportive of that endeavor even if it is not to my taste. Constructive criticism is never mean spirited in my humble opinion.— June 26, 2010 1:25 p.m.
At The 99 Again
There is some scandal about welfare recipients using their EBT cards at casinos to gamble. Your story illustrates the generational process of passing down White Trash values to children. Interesting that the gringo mother was shopping in National City which has a very large Hispanic/Latino population. I would think that with her expressed distain for the Mexican flag, she might feel more at home in another 99 cent store.— June 26, 2010 1:13 p.m.

San Diego Gay and Lesbian News, against Gay and Lesbian Times
It turns out that Straight Arrow was a radio hero like the Green Hornet. I always thought Straight Arrow referred to someone who was honest and squeaky clean. Yes to the truth of few attaining Journalistic Excellence. Many are called but few are chosen.— June 26, 2010 9:09 a.m.

I think # 89 response (although I am not part of the community) that an "openly/self professed" gay person might introduce their special friend as "my partner" or if they have married as "my husband" or "my wife" or maybe just by their first name ? It is so hard to be politically correct these days when insult can be added to injury at the blink of a misspoken word.— June 26, 2010 8:32 a.m.

The Copy Editor's apprentice must correct the dear Fish (post # 92) when the person in question is termed "self professed" as I believe the term was "Citizen Journalist." There is also the Part B definition of "Citizen Journalist" in the new abridged SD Reader dictionary which defines CJ as a person who "outs" anonymous bloggers by violating the Terms of Use . A Sarah Palinese/Tea Party form of reporting and self righteousness invades certain threads and reminds me of Nathaniel Hawthorne. Who can put that Scarlet Letter on anyone who disagrees ? This qualifies as improper behavior because the forum is about an exchange of ideas, or so I thought, and not about shutting people down. Some will wear the Scarlet Letter granted by CJ (Citizen Journalist not to be confused with Citizen Jerk) and continue to express their opinions. Freedom of Speech and all that jazz as Bob Fossey would say.— June 26, 2010 7:16 a.m.

Is "self professed" the same as "out and proud ? " Again who gives a crap.— June 25, 2010 10:30 p.m.
