We were all going to...DIE!!!
Pete is now in his tighty blue, gold and whiteys with the strategically placed lightning bolt, dancing around his room with a hairbrush microphone, posing in front of the mirror and belting out..."Thunderbolts and lightning, light up the skyiyiii!!"— January 16, 2010 2:20 p.m.
We were all going to...DIE!!!
Pete, you must have this Charger-hating demon exorcised from your body. Holy water sprinkling on Pete, crucifix waiving in his face - THE POWER OF CHRIST COMPELS YOU!! THE POWER OF CHRIST COMPELS YOU!! Pete's head spins in circles, and blue and gold vomit spews from his mouth - BLEEEECH!! Pete sings the Chargers song (quite possibly the stupidest team song ever written, but whatever) - take it away, Pete!!! "San Diego Super Chargers, San Diego Super Chargers.."— January 16, 2010 11:42 a.m.

Oh, I can't wait for that one!! Mothers in law are great fodder. My own asked me what size my pants were the other day. I'll be looking forward to your blog....— January 16, 2010 11:35 a.m.
I never thought I'd become a welfare queen
Just for the record, towel, it wasn't me. I had it out with Josh Board, and I chose to stop reading/commenting on his blog, except the rare occasions something caught my eye in the comments. I know about his beef with Aaryn Belfer because they hashed it out here on this website, first in the blog about cops, and then in the one called "Sexting". But rest assured, I have neither the time nor the interest to log onto CityBeat under a pseudonym to further damage that guy's character. He did a bang-up job of that himself. And just for the record, I did not expect him to lose his job, if that is indeed what happened. I was as shocked as the next guy when I started seeing the posts about his blog being removed. This has become a soap opera and I am following it with a mixture of glee and ick. But rest assured, being a humanitarian, I have no interest in seeing anyone lose their job, no matter how much I disagree with them. Now, can we go back to the cover story?— January 13, 2010 11:05 a.m.
Maggots, Flies, and The Cat's Meow
Nice story, refried. You know I am partial to the cats. Whenever one of my cats catches a "prize" and I take it away from them they act crazy. Pacing and crying like I stole something of theirs. It's funny and weird to watch at the same time. I remember on a trip we took to Las Rocas a couple of years ago that there were a disturbing number of dead dogs on the frontage road. And my thoughts exactly were "I could never live here". It's not what people think, though. Animals are allowed to roam freely and are either lucky or not. The culture regarding animals as pets is just different. It is still hard to desensitize yourself to the carnage, though, and I found myself becoming upset. Other than that, I would move there in a heartbeat.— January 11, 2010 3:14 p.m.
For Board's Blogs(RIP)
One more comment and then I will let this rest. She did not create that blog about Josh Board. She has far more class than that. Someone else who works for CityBeat, who was offended by his constant insensitivity to just about everything, wrote it.— January 10, 2010 10:13 a.m.
For Board's Blogs(RIP)
Here's some more jems he sent her: "You should try finding (or writing) a book about why black kids sit in cars, with their stereos blasting, as if they think everyone else wants to hear 50 Cent. Or, why they sit in movie theatres making noise, talking on cell phones or at the screen, as if they are Chris Rock. I’m sure you’ll get to deal with all that fun, when your little one grows up. (read Freakanomics, they talk about how adopted kids are never as smart…because they get the intelligence from the folks that gave them up). So, good luck with that. Geez, now that I think about it, it’s probably good you couldn’t have kids. It’s one less idiot that has your genes in this world." Aaryn Belfer runs circles around Josh Board. He hates her because she is smart, a much better writer, and she called him out on his crap. As he hates every intelligent female.— January 10, 2010 10:06 a.m.

Exactly. What would be the point. You must have noticed over the last year what a thin-skinned, mean-spirited bully that guy is. He lost every one of his intellegent readers within a few months because of his inability to ever admit he was wrong about anything, only to be replaced with a bunch of weaklings who hung on to his every misplaced word. Deluded, I believe, is the word to describe this moron. Read for yourself. This is just a fraction of the crap he has said about Aaryn Belfer, who is the mother of an adopted African-American child: http://lastblogonearth.com/2010/01/07/sd-reader-w…— January 10, 2010 9:38 a.m.

It's no "little tift". He went public on Facebook and elsewhere. No one is invincible. You cannot go around tossing out blatantly racist comments without repercussions. If he got canned, it could not have happened to a bigger jerk. Maybe he will find solace in "Freakonomics".— January 10, 2010 9:11 a.m.
