Dumanis Gives the Green Light to Corruption
Now Don ....quick chuckling .... I know you like that one!— May 7, 2010 11:14 a.m.
Dumanis Gives the Green Light to Corruption
While I don't see myself as the RoadRunner I thank you for the compliment! We all know your arguments and comments are mail ordered from the "Acme Rocket Company", and you received your degree in law came from it's sister company the "Acme School of Law". Like "Wile E. Coyote" the comments you post over and over to to trap the "Roadrunner" end up exploding in your face, or fall off a cliff. All while I and others post facts supported by logic and documentation there to counter your endless drivel. Try as you will BillyBob/JohnnyV/Surpuppeteer you'll never catch this RoadRunner. Cause you're just too slow on the uptake, and this Roadrunner has you outsmarted each time. So as the Roadrunner says to Wile E. Coyote as he leaves him in the dust once again.... MmmEEPP-MmmEEPPP— May 7, 2010 11:13 a.m.
Dumanis Gives the Green Light to Corruption
Yes it's true...I suppose BillyBobHenry/JohnnyVegas/Surfpuppy619 is as envious as one can be. That envy, his obsession with the compensation of workers, consumes many hours of his days over the last few years.— May 7, 2010 7:49 a.m.
Dumanis Gives the Green Light to Corruption
Oh BillyBobHenry/JohnnyVegas/Surfpuppy619 wasn't it enough that I agreed with you about the oddness of the dismissal of charges against Mr. Saathoff? Then you have to add that comment in #17 above and ruin it like you're some ol' big bad all knowing comment maker. We'd need all of Don Bauder's the fingers and toes just to begin counting the number of times you've been 100% wrong in 2,535 comments as Surfpuppy619. Or the thousands of comments you posted as JohnnyVegas or BillyBob Henry. If we used all of Don's fingers and toes, he'd have nothing to type with. Thankfully, voice recognition software has improved so we'd still get his columns.— May 6, 2010 9:04 a.m.
Dumanis Gives the Green Light to Corruption
Gotta agree with the puppeteer. The dismissal doesn't make sense. Or, maybe that was the plan along, file the charges, let it simmer for awhile, then let the Supremes' dismiss it. But they did the unexpected and threw ol' Bonnie a curve ball by remanding one of the defendants back to her. If she went to trial, their theories would hold up so she was forced to dismiss against the one defendant who did the deed... Like I posted earlier... fodder for all of us speculators....— May 5, 2010 8:58 p.m.
Dumanis Gives the Green Light to Corruption
In the interest of accuracy, Saathoff is not President of the Firefighters Local 145. That position is held Frank DeClercq. Yes, Ron Saathoff was the President of Local 145. He took the helm of the firefighters union in 1981, at age 31. The former fire captain took over what was once a part-time job and made it a full-time position. He has not held a position at the Local for some time. Should our illustrious D.A. Bonnie Dumanis have "nixed" it. In my opinion, absolutely not. Saathoff AND the people of San Diego should have received their day(s) in court, with a judgement after hearing all the evidence. Sadly, without a trial, speculation will remain present, and speculators fodder to write about. A trial would have brought some closure no matter the outcome.— May 5, 2010 3:52 p.m.
U-T Puffs up Bridgepoint. Uh, Look Further
Want read another whopper of a OP/ED from the illustrious UT... read this: http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/2010/may/02/do… Accountability....? LOL...just the opposite, easily corruptible mayor does nothing for eight years. The UT wants someone installed that tows the line and can be controlled. Nothing more...— May 2, 2010 8:38 a.m.
Michael Fanghella Seeking $150,000 Job
There is no such thing as Federal Parole. You do your time and you're done. No reporting, no supervision, no nothing. Unfortunately getting out "early" is not unusual now-a-days.— April 19, 2010 7:43 a.m.
Broke cities (including San Diego)
Don, A comment as requested on your weekly column. Governments can and do extend debt responsibilities to future generations. Heck the time horizon at SDCERS is 40 years, and U.S. Government is so far underwater it could be a century or more if the current spending spree is not halted. In that time Don, you, me and BillyVegasSurfpup will be a distant memory where someone might find us on Ancestry.com if they were looking us up. With the ability to "extend" the debt endlessly, unlike the taxpayer they are suppose to serve, we can only do an "Obama". HOPE that our future leaders will CHANGE their ways when it comes to ways they find to squander the people's treasury. Sadly, history repeats itself more often than not, as memories fade with the so called good times, this cycle will repeat itself. Wasn't it only 75 years ago that the age of great indulgence and greed led to the Great Depression.— April 9, 2010 10:20 a.m.
Judge Dumps Criminal Pension Charges
Mark this on your calendars folks. BillyBobHenry/JohnnyVegas/Surfpuppy619 posted a comment indicating something positive happened with the pension litigation cases. I'm just wondering if comments like these are like a 100 year flood? If so, were in for a long drought of factual comments from Mr. Puppy.— April 8, 2010 4:43 p.m.
