Jack sued by Michael Shames!
Money is a formidable foe. The securities firms have tons of money so they can hire the best attorneys and accountants. Even worse, they know the government attorneys and investigators may want to work for their firms someday as they travel through the "revolving door".— June 30, 2014 10:49 p.m.
Jack sued by Michael Shames!
I think lawsuits like this have only one significant effect: They make a lot of money for lawyers.— June 28, 2014 8:20 p.m.
A-1, baby
Yes I was kidding but I do appreciate your insight. I'm just wondering what is going to happen when the Fed returns to some semblance of normal fiscal policy - or is QE the new normal?— June 26, 2014 9:21 p.m.

We are in great shape because we know the stock market will always go up and capital gains taxes will keep rolling in.— June 26, 2014 1:23 p.m.
U-T shuns climate change in wildfire stories
One cannot wait for 100% certainty of the future to make a decision. We don't know for 100% certainty the effect of human activity on the future climate but I think the rational thing to do is to plan around the most likely scenario - with some contingencies to adapt if less likely scenarios occur.— June 24, 2014 1:11 p.m.
U-T shuns climate change in wildfire stories
There is no doubt that a bunch of greedy scam artists are cashing in on the climate change debate. Al Gore has made a fortune flying around in jets and going home to his huge mansion with huge heated indoor pool telling everyone else to conserve energy. Carbon offset plans where rich guys who fly around the world in private jets can pretend to ease their conscience about their hypocrisy have largely been shown to be a scam. CA governor Jerry Brown is wasting countless billions of taxpayer dollars in corporate welfare for a so-called high speed rail which is clearly a waste of money and will end up costing far more and go far slower than originally promised. But just because there are scams doesn't mean the science is wrong.— June 24, 2014 7:23 a.m.
U-T shuns climate change in wildfire stories
The temperature HAS changed a lot, up and down, for a variety of reasons most of which have nothing to do with human activity. So looking at temperature data really isn't the best indicator of man-made climate change. The atmospheric CO2 levels and ocean pH levels are what truly indicate there is man-made change. Unlike the temperature changes, it's difficult to explain away these changes as anything other than man-made. Most of the climate models of the Earth predict that the changes in CO2, ozone levels, ocean pH, etc. will eventually lead to significant climate changes. Is it possible that the models are wrong because the data are incomplete and/or the models aren't accurate enough? Sure. But for now the best estimates are that significant climate change will occur over the next 100 years or so.— June 24, 2014 7:17 a.m.
U-T shuns climate change in wildfire stories
Yes there is a lot of climate change and random variation in climate which has nothing to do with human activity. But there is strong evidence that human activity has caused changes in the Earth's ecosystem (C02 levels, ocean pH levels, etc) and in turn virtually all climate change models indicate that will lead to an overall change in San Diego's climate to one which is warmer and drier. Of course there's always room for science to evolve and sometimes scientific theories change as more evidence is uncovered and more research is done. But with the global climate change right now it really seems like the scientific debate is really about the exact magnitude of future man-made climate change rather than whether or not man-made climate change is happening.— June 20, 2014 9:58 p.m.
Tony Gwynn dies at 54
RIP Tony. Clearly one of the greatest hitters ever. By all indications he was also a great man off the field - class act through and through.— June 16, 2014 7:06 p.m.
Super Bowl "wish list" items are requirements
I wonder if Citizen Manchester walked into Canepa's office and decided to finish Canepa's column for him, the way Charles Foster Kane finished the negative opera review of his wife.— June 12, 2014 9:33 p.m.
