Ambitious yet homeless, Eric Bidwell runs for mayor of San Diego
You're right, mrtboner! What a JOKE! Is this guy serious? He doesn't realize what a fool he's making of himself. Does he really think the people of San Diego want a mayor who was never educated past high school? Does he really think the people of San Diego want an amateur mayor? A homeless mayor? An unkempt mayor? This is nearing ridiculous =========================== Are you serious??? Sanders has no education past HS, and if you think Sanders is ANYTHING but amatuer hour you need to stop dreaming. Why would you call Eric a fool or a joke?? Because he put his hat in the ring and tried to make a difference??? Come on. Get serious. Golding, McGrory, Gwynn and all the other yahoo's who have bankrupted this City-now that is a JOKE. BTW, the article said he has an apartment, and I would not call someone unkept because you do not like them. I tell you what mrtboner and reader_admin, I would vote for the guy because he knows HOW TO BUDGET, which is main reason why San Diego is BK right now, because the dorks runnning the City do NOT know how to budget. Second, I would vote for him, even if he can't win, as a protest vote. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.— April 23, 2008 8:33 a.m.
Sanders Official Who Was Fired for Challenging Unethical Practices Files Wrongful Termination Suit
Sainz, with the agreement of Mayor Sanders, refuses to answer questions of the Reader. Period. ======================== I am shocked Sainz would not answer the Reader's questions! SHOCKED I tell you!.....LOL... Fred Sainz has big problems, and Fred's big problems are also Sanders big problems........ These problems hit the fan at exactly the right time-election time.— April 23, 2008 8:26 a.m.

Your "registered trademark 'welfare queen'" was actually first used by Ronald Reagan. Another TOS violation. ========= JF, using the term "Welfare Queen" is NOT a TOS violation! Get serious.— April 22, 2008 9:29 p.m.

Voice of San Diego just put out a really good article that is along the same lines of this one.... Both are excellent and on the money. http://voiceofsandiego.com/articles/2008/04/23/op…— April 22, 2008 9:27 p.m.

#32. Thank God the truth about Sanders is coming out in a big way! Get the Party started. We are about to get our city back!!! ============================ I'm with you!— April 22, 2008 3:44 p.m.

Johnny, Perhaps it was your continued tirade of insults that got you banned, not your positions. ============= Nah.... because I was posing under several handles and I never made any "continued tirade of insults" under the new handles. In fact I never made any "continued tirade of insults", I just spoke my mind. I was on my best behaviour-so that is not it. No, Chris Reed got me banned-there is no other logical explanation. That's cool, no biggie. The funny thing is, there are now a number of people posting on the UT's site (just look at the council's car allowance posts from today) and flipping out over the pay and pensions of the City workers and using my registered trade mark "welfare queen" terminology......lol!— April 22, 2008 3:42 p.m.

Who contacted you to ask if you were Bruce Henderson, Mike Aguirre, or somebody else? Please let me know. Did you get an email from the U-T asking your identity, or a phone call? ======================= The other posters are the ones that always made the accusations about me being Henderson, Mike and so forth (I'm not), never the UT itself. One person even thinks I am a Bob Ilko, a former candidate for Clowncil, who I had never even heard of until that one came out of left field. I sent them the email asking why they blocked me, they only replied with a form letter-nothing specific in response to my request. At first they only blocked my handle, so I changed it, then after a few days they would block the new handle. I would just keep changing it. My last handle lasted less than 24 hours and then they did the IP block. I can change my IP in 20 seconds if I wanted to, but I know they will keep blocking what I have to say.......... But it was the same day I was on Chris Reed's blog posting, and everyone there was aware of my positions. Just weird stuff. Now, I got a lot of heat from other people/gov. employees/cops/FF's about my positions, because I was pretty much the first to really rag on the pension and pay pf PD and FD, then after I started alot of others started speaking up also. So I know there are many, many people that are walking alongside me. I think the real test for cleaning up this City is gong to be if Mike Aguirre is re elected. I think he will win re election very easily-possibly in the run off if the others spilt votes, giving Mike a 50%+ win. That will be it though, the real test of where the citizens of this City are at-the election. If Mike wins it will be crystal clear, a mandate if you will.— April 22, 2008 8:25 a.m.
Amylin Shares Plunge 10.28 Percent; Diabetes Drug Byetta Comes Up Short
Did you see 60 Minutes Sunday? They reported on a surgery (similar to gastric bypass)..... ====== It was not similar to gastric bypass, it was gastric bypass...— April 22, 2008 8:08 a.m.

Sainz is in deep do-do I think, and if he goes down Sanders will too, because Sainz is an anchor around Sanders neck. And if old Fred is not shaking in his boots right now then he has a screw or two loose. I wonder if Chris Reed will fit into this puzzle??? After posting on his UT blog a few times (and getting the same accusations that I am Bruce Henderson, Mike Aguirre, insert UT opposition name here) I was IP banned from their site! I emailed them several times asking why and they only responded with one TOS form letter/email-which I never violated............... ?? I was the biggest support of Mike on their blog-so I have to assume that is the only reason I was banned.— April 21, 2008 10:17 p.m.
Sanders Wants City To Pay Union President's Salary During Bargaining; Aguirre Says It's Against the Charter
Can you source your answers? No offense intended but some of your comments, in the past, have not been very accurate. What's your source on the pension increase in the past from reimbursement? My point/question is/was; Is the car allowance payments calculated as part of the salary for pension payments. If so, is SDCERS and it actuarials disclosing it. ========================== I was mistaken about Ryder being my source for the pension spikes-the source was actually Scott Lewis at Voice of San Diego. This is the source for the pension spike from car allowances; http://voiceofsandiego.com/articles/2008/04/19/op…— April 20, 2008 9:52 a.m.
