John Moores sinks Padres pay to number 29 of 30 teams
As much as I respect your opinion regarding my comment,it's true. Sandy Eggo hasn't done anything since 1963. The point of each season is to go to the top. They've failed to do that since 1963. The Packers have failed their fans since 1996. NONE of either of our team's division or conference wins matter because they didn't win the Big Dance. And I will admit that I'm not a fan of blackouts no matter how s**tty the team is. It should be about the fans and not the almighty dollar. I think we both can agree on that. I'll be honest,I don't really care what happens to the Chargeless. It IS however ALOT of fun giving s*** to their fans. :-D— September 2, 2009 5:10 p.m.

LOL! Yes. Did you also know that if you flip a Cheesehead upside down,it doubles as a holder for 3 Leinenkugel's and a container of nachos?— September 2, 2009 4:57 p.m.
PUC Loves SDG&E
An ounce of prevention is worth more than a pound of cure. I think shutting off the power is a great idea. Human beings shouldn't live out here. If they do,they take the risk. People with medical equipment could just as easily lose their power in an earthquake or flood. If your life hangs so precariously on the balance that you need power,MOVE! GET A GENERATOR! SDG&E WAS at fault for not keeping their poles trimmed but how many people living in the backcountry have brush ALL over their property? Instead of being reactive,why don't East County residents become proactive?— September 2, 2009 4:55 p.m.

Ummmm,Barbarella? There was NOTHING in that line that said you didn't buy the shot glass of wine. I'm a huge dive bar dweller. When I first moved out here I went to Jolt'n Joe's in Escondido. They wanted $8.00 for half a pitcher of beer. I too scoffed but I was thirsty. I thought to myself"I'm not in Wisconsin anymore". And I was just giving you some well deserved s***. I still read your column occasionally and I still laugh. Your writing might not be for my more refined palette but I'm ok with that ;-D— September 2, 2009 4:26 p.m.
Two Idiots Suing -- The Miss California Edition
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lj3iNxZ8Dww If Carrie Prejean had just answered the question honestly,she wouldn't have f***ed up. What's wrong with saying"I don't agree with same-sex marriage"? Absolutely nothing. She spoke her mind. Unfortunetely for all of society,she's a retard. I don't agree with the politics of the question and I don't believe her answer was correct. I DO believe that answering a question like that in a more PC way is bulls*** as well.— September 2, 2009 4:06 p.m.

LMAO! Josh hit the nail on the head! I used to read Barb's column when I first moved out here. Then I thought"Why in the f*** am I reading this garbage?". Nothing more interesting than a nuerotic,self-centered,egotistical yuppie.... "After fishing it out of my purse, I stared at the device’s screen, trying to figure out what to use it for."-That line alone was priceless! "I scoffed aloud when I witnessed the paltry pours and noticed that each shot-glass of wine cost more than the entire bottle from which the sips originated."-Here's a thought,Barb....Spending huge amounts of money to look cool doesn't make you look cool. It makes you look like a moron.— September 2, 2009 4 p.m.
Cops in Crosshairs
Society in general doesn't want to be a cop because of the tired and completely false stereotype that cops have the most dangerous job there is.— September 2, 2009 3:52 p.m.

I've heard that argument and it doesn't hold water. You're right about there not being alot to do in Green Bay in the winter. However,if someone claims to be as much of a football fan as I am,why do they choose their climate over watching their Chargeless? I'm a straight up old school football fan. The Packers are just the team that I follow. I'm the NFL. Out here,it's different. It's"Whatever. The Chargeless are on? I can watch 'em next week". The playoff game on January 4th,2008 almost got blacked out because of that attitude. You either follow football or you don't. It's simple. Out here,football is an after thought. Out there,it's a way of life. THAT'S why the Packers will ALWAYS sell out their games. People love the Packers because they have a storied history with ALOT of serious wins. Last year I looked online for three tickets to a Chargeless game. When all was said and done,it would have cost me just under $500.00 for three tickets,food and drink and parking. $500.00 for a team that chokes on a consistent basis every year,was a cellar dweller for the longest time and thought Ryan Leaf was the 2nd coming of Christ himself? ROTFLMMFAO!!!! For that kind of money,I'd rather watch the Packers lose. At least they've done something.— September 2, 2009 3:48 p.m.

LMAO! Yeah rickeysays,I'm such a danger to society. The last ticket I recieved was two years ago. It was for public urination and open container. I'm a real felon! ROTFLMMFAO!— September 2, 2009 3:37 p.m.
