Nobody Cares, Zogo
They said the same thing about Picasso. A masterpiece is Gustav Courbet's "Origin of the World" - That's art! I love that painting so much that I want to just bury my face in it.

She hailed a cab, they hailed the rocks

20 million escapees from there (and counting) can't be wrong. I love it when they proudly fly their Mexican flag...from their houses on THIS side of the border.

¡Rape Trump!
OK the rest of the 7 billion people on the planet, COME ON IN! (to Mexico, I mean - there, they'll take care of you (i.e pay for you) from birth until death. "VIVA PINCHE MEXICO!"

What to do with Qualcomm Stadium post-Chargers?
Break it up into haulable chunks, truck those chunks down to Mission Bay, load them onto barges (it'll probably take a lot of trips), take those barges offshore Mission Beach, drop them shallow enough that they don't cover Wreck Alley but end up making a nice reef break. At the former Q-comm site, scrape away all the dirt that has a large plume of gasoline embedded within, haul THAT to Black Rock Desert for the next Burning Man Festival, stick The Man atop the mound of contaminated dirt and light it off. Rehabilitate Mission Valley riverbed area with native species of flora and fauna, including "Stanky Bob" "Sweaty Betty" and the rest of the homeless denizens of the riverbed who make a living harvesting goodies from the condo dwellers on the other side of the fence next door. Let Stanky and Sweaty "repurpose" (dumb term) the banners strung around the top of the stadium as tents. They can also use the light reflectors as cooking pots and stills (but someone has to tell them to remove the bulbs first). They can put the stadium seats along the banks of the river and sit back, smoke a fatty, guzzle brewskis and watch as the El Nino rains flood the riverbed in front of them. Finally, the San Diego River's name will be changed to "Rivers River" in honor of our famed quarterback who probably cried rivers of tears because he never had any protection in "the pocket", but still managed to throw that ball a zillion yards. Problem solved!

No ballot tricks, Fabiani tells city
**WHY**? The Chargers can't fill the stadium they're in now with enough fans to prevent TV blackouts, so **WHY** do they think they'll get more once their Football Taj Mahal is built? Let them go to greener taxpayer - subsidized pastures if they wish. I'll watch them on TV at least that way. Oh, and break up Q-com Stadium into large chunks and deposit it off the coast for a huge artificial reef, mitigate the gasoline haz - mat area in the dirt where the stadium is, and restore the riverbed to it's natural state, homeless and all.

El Cajon immigrant shelter draws Iowan's ire
I can't wait for the rest of the 6.995 Billion people on the planet to arrive here in the US of A. After all, we have ***unlimited*** tax dollars, natural resources and infrastructure to take them all in.

Cirque du Crazy
Barbarella -Being of Swiss (Schaffhausen) and German (Stuttgart) lineage myself, I can understand how you felt. HOWEVER - It's OK to be actually HUMAN and screw up once in a while. This topic is hilarious to me because my wife also misread the start time for the theater last week and we showed up nearly at intermission. You know what ? No one died or became gravely injured because we a missed a few minutes of a show. Now, had it been ME who goofed up instead of my wife, she would have killed me, or at least hurt me badly - she has quite a pinch when she's highly irritated. How about if it was David instead of you - would he be recovering from a pummeling, or would it be just one of those things that happen in life and you would have forgiven him by now? Remember this: Every day above ground is a good one. Love ya'! Tschuss !!! (mit umlauts)

Nobody Cares, Zogo
They said the same thing about Picasso. A masterpiece is Gustav Courbet's "Origin of the World" - That's art! I love that painting so much that I want to just bury my face in it.— November 12, 2015 9:57 p.m.

What to do with Qualcomm Stadium post-Chargers?
Break it up into haulable chunks, truck those chunks down to Mission Bay, load them onto barges (it'll probably take a lot of trips), take those barges offshore Mission Beach, drop them shallow enough that they don't cover Wreck Alley but end up making a nice reef break. At the former Q-comm site, scrape away all the dirt that has a large plume of gasoline embedded within, haul THAT to Black Rock Desert for the next Burning Man Festival, stick The Man atop the mound of contaminated dirt and light it off. Rehabilitate Mission Valley riverbed area with native species of flora and fauna, including "Stanky Bob" "Sweaty Betty" and the rest of the homeless denizens of the riverbed who make a living harvesting goodies from the condo dwellers on the other side of the fence next door. Let Stanky and Sweaty "repurpose" (dumb term) the banners strung around the top of the stadium as tents. They can also use the light reflectors as cooking pots and stills (but someone has to tell them to remove the bulbs first). They can put the stadium seats along the banks of the river and sit back, smoke a fatty, guzzle brewskis and watch as the El Nino rains flood the riverbed in front of them. Finally, the San Diego River's name will be changed to "Rivers River" in honor of our famed quarterback who probably cried rivers of tears because he never had any protection in "the pocket", but still managed to throw that ball a zillion yards. Problem solved!— November 12, 2015 9:09 p.m.
No ballot tricks, Fabiani tells city
**WHY**? The Chargers can't fill the stadium they're in now with enough fans to prevent TV blackouts, so **WHY** do they think they'll get more once their Football Taj Mahal is built? Let them go to greener taxpayer - subsidized pastures if they wish. I'll watch them on TV at least that way. Oh, and break up Q-com Stadium into large chunks and deposit it off the coast for a huge artificial reef, mitigate the gasoline haz - mat area in the dirt where the stadium is, and restore the riverbed to it's natural state, homeless and all.— March 1, 2015 11:07 a.m.
El Cajon immigrant shelter draws Iowan's ire
I can't wait for the rest of the 6.995 Billion people on the planet to arrive here in the US of A. After all, we have ***unlimited*** tax dollars, natural resources and infrastructure to take them all in.— November 15, 2014 1:01 p.m.
Cirque du Crazy
Barbarella -Being of Swiss (Schaffhausen) and German (Stuttgart) lineage myself, I can understand how you felt. HOWEVER - It's OK to be actually HUMAN and screw up once in a while. This topic is hilarious to me because my wife also misread the start time for the theater last week and we showed up nearly at intermission. You know what ? No one died or became gravely injured because we a missed a few minutes of a show. Now, had it been ME who goofed up instead of my wife, she would have killed me, or at least hurt me badly - she has quite a pinch when she's highly irritated. How about if it was David instead of you - would he be recovering from a pummeling, or would it be just one of those things that happen in life and you would have forgiven him by now? Remember this: Every day above ground is a good one. Love ya'! Tschuss !!! (mit umlauts)— June 3, 2012 5:50 p.m.
