Stocks Slaughtered, Now Near Official Bear Market; Oil Almost Hits $140, Dollar Drops
Oil at $143 a barrel this morning, I think $150 is coming before July is over. In other news Bushie wote another rubber check for another mega amount, $163 BILLION, to fund a war that was never needed and appears, at least to me, to have been started over the control of oil (yes, the very same oil that was supposed to "pay for the war"). Funny thing is it turns out the war not only has caused the nation to go BK, but also caused oil to increase 300%. Now that is what you call irony!— June 30, 2008 11:30 a.m.
With $6 Million Gift, David Copley Endows UCLA Center for Costume Design
Obesity is not genetic, is due to sloth, inactivity, and laziness. Obesity is a moral failing. ======================================== Some obesity is due to lifestyle, especially here in America. I guess that can be called a failing (I don't think it is a "moral" failing though). But more is due to genetics or medical reasons.— June 28, 2008 2:45 p.m.

David has his clothes tailored in Egypt by Omar the Tent Maker. Omar also did Marlon Brando's wardrobe. ===================================== Ouchie! The fact is David Copley is very overweight and has serious health issues, and no one (or at least I can't) should joke about that. I believe he is 52/53 y/o and has had major surgery. I think he will have a hard time making it to age 60. Given those facts I cannot make jokes about his weight or health.— June 28, 2008 9:26 a.m.

The thing about Bushie is he is getting it fom all sides, including his own Republicans who are slamming him as much as the Democrats-and they should be. Bushie has done serious damage to the country-at home AND abroad. Oh, and who remembers this whopper in late 2002/early 2003; "The war will pay for itself". Remember that BS??????? Guess what, looks like that was a bunch of baloney.— June 27, 2008 4:04 p.m.
SeaWorld Could Be Sold: InBev Officially Bids $65 a Share for Anheuser-Busch, Which Turns Down Bid
So if InBev splits off the amusement parks, does that mean that San Diego will have a chance to renegotiate the lease? ============================== No, the lease will carry on to the new owners as assignees' of the lease. Big Business gets deals from the gov. the little guy can only dream of (see Bill Evans> The Bahia, The Caterman and now the Lodge at Torrey Pines...aka. The Torrey Pines Inn -but I must say they did a hell of a job at Torrey Pines.... ).— June 27, 2008 9:36 a.m.

Response to post #1: You are so right. I am still hearing from employees and ex-employees who were repulsed by Burl Stiff's report of David's overlavish socializing on his yacht at Cannes. ================================== Mr. Copley does not have the brain power or common sense to understand the damage this is causing, he only cares about himself.— June 27, 2008 9:31 a.m.

Yale and Harvard hit bottom when they gave the idiot Bush entitlement degrees.... ============================================= ...Ahhhh... the powers of "legacy"! Bush is a mental moron, and had no business being elected President of the U.S.A. He is going down as the worst president of the last 100 years, and he will have a very strong case for worst President ever.— June 27, 2008 7:44 a.m.

“The artistry of costume designers has long been a vital part of storytelling in the cinematic and performing arts ***and deserves significant scholarly attention**** from a great educational institution such as UCLA,” said David C. Copley, publisher of The San Diego Union-Tribune and chief executive officer of Copley Press Inc., the newspaper's parent company. ================================================ If they want to endow a chair for costume design, that is cool with me, and I am sure anyone else, but to say that it; "...deserves significant scholarly attention..." has to be the stupidest statement I have ever heard from an elite public university like UCLA.— June 26, 2008 9:32 p.m.

There are no earnings to support the current market valuations........ By Burwell 7:50 p.m., Jun 26, 2008 =========================================== Man, you nailed that one. Earnings do not pencil out valuations, need to stop using a 1-5% CAP rates.— June 26, 2008 8:06 p.m.

Why name it after himself, it was not his money, but his step fathers. But I am glad he gave to a PUBLIC institution of higher education. Would have been better if it was San Diego State or UCSD.— June 26, 2008 6:31 p.m.
