The family Falic
Congressman Juan Vargas really didn't need to campaign in this district but the fund raising continues. Sigh, such is the state of the American political system. I'd say a democratic republic but sadly money is the mother's milk of politics and the Citizens United authorized political breast feeding in public view. (Not that I'm against public breast feeding of babies, that is a natural thing and most mothers are modest enough to cover up. If it offends anyone I suggest the offended look away.) Election reform in the form of publicly financed elections would more then pay for themselves in the way of avoided corruption. Or in the case of the good Congressman, the appearance of quid pro quo.— November 12, 2014 4:45 p.m.

Marine says ranger roughed him up
Yes it seems like a lot of money, however how do you gage the emotional distress of a veteran suffering from PTSD? Or the embarrassment of being cuffed and stuffed into a police car in front of your children? Over a handicapped parking ticket? Mr. Esquibil did in fact posses a handicapped placard but was arrested for failing to obey a lawful order? How is that? He broke no laws. Why is it we have to follow orders from the police when we aren't doing anything wrong. It's the kind of catch all charge that's a fall back when a cop's actions makes him look stupid and the charge he wanted to use, abuse of the handicapped parking space, wouldn't wash. I'm a retired correctional officer and witnessed quite a number of power trips by the police. This sounds like a power trip by a cop with poor judgment ... and in a National Park at that. Still it will be interesting to see how this plays out.— November 9, 2014 11:25 p.m.

Marine says ranger roughed him up
So unless you limp or are obviously handicapped you're subject to arrest? I have a heart condition that limits my mobility why should I go into my medical condition with law enforcement? The handicapped placard requires a medical doctor's statement of disability, a signed form that tells the DMV your medical condition. Officers of the law can either ticket the suspected parking scoff and the disabled placard holder can fight the ticket in court or they can let it go. But handcuffing over a parking ticket? Very poor judgment to say the least.— November 9, 2014 7:52 p.m.
Qualcomm in the House
Well what else will wake up the vast amount of voters who are in the lower 90% economic bracket? . Both of these parties are in the pockets of the corporate. Democratic Presidents have backed, passed and/or negotiated neoliberal trade agreements (NAFTA and the Trans Pacific Partnership) that don't help with domestic jobs. It seems that the flesh and blood corporeal citizens come in second for the Democrats too. It's time that the party got back to what got them in the game, being the champions of the underclass. . If they don't then the people need a party that will.— November 8, 2014 9:25 a.m.
Expensive race card
On further reflection this was such an insidious accusation. It deflected away from a what should have been an ally, old time civil rights activist, for Mayor Filner because of the baseless racist accusation. Oddly Mr. Jones said he wouldn't sit in the back of the bus and in fact, "sat at the table.", yet the transcripts show Mayor Filner was the one to ask him to sit. Maybe not funny but hugely ironic.— November 7, 2014 11:27 a.m.
Election rewards for-profit schools (except Bridgepoint)
Democrats are in a corner because they haven't done anything for the poor lately and the middle class has been destroyed, their base. The people who stayed home in droves on election day. That easy money from Wall Street comes at a step price. Democrats couldn't look the public in the face and say that there had been justice done for the fiscal crimes of Wall Street and the bankers but instead confirmed a two tier justice system. Too big to fail and too big to jail. Here in America where we swear allegiance in a land with liberty and justice for all. They've given lie to one of the basic values that I've been sold my entire life.— November 7, 2014 7:44 a.m.
