Das Boot
Boo, Mr. Shepherd. Boo.— November 28, 2018 11:16 p.m.
Solaris
Duncan Shepherd never had it when it came to Tarkovsky.— November 28, 2018 11:13 p.m.
Andrei Rublev
It's a shame you don't have a review of Tarkovsky's film, because it ran at the Ken Cinema this month (November '18). I mean, it's a very religious film and the publisher of the *San Diego Reader* ran a Catholic newspaper alongside this one, you would think **somebody** would have done a review. Everything Andrei Tarkovsky did was genius, so catch this one on streaming services or YouTube, though it really demands to be projected on a screen.— November 28, 2018 11:04 p.m.
Whew
".....the wings of the plane were being dismantled for easier transportation." You mean that the wings are being unbolted from the main and secondary wing spars at the roots where the wings meet the fuselage. Aircraft is a Piper Warrior II, a design descendant of the Piper PA-28 Cherokee, which has been around since 1960. I could find no date of manufacture for N8125Y, the aircraft that landed on the freeway, but I would assume it was built in the last ten or twenty years (Piper has been making Warriors for the last two decades.)— October 23, 2018 1:19 p.m.
San Diego universities botch sexual assault investigations
Dr. Lee Mintz still works at SDSU's Center for Student Rights and Responsibilities as of 2018 even though the Souza case cost the college possibly half a million dollars in that "undisclosed settlement." Her inability to handle the case or quickly turn it over to the real legal system should have been grounds for dismissal in 2017.— October 23, 2018 12:41 p.m.
College Lutheran Church
Just for the record, that church disbanded in 2015 or 2016 and was demolished last year. It's now just a lot surrounded by fencing, which is BIZARRE because San Diego is shot through with half-dead churches or small new church groups working in strip mall storefronts.....you would think two of the newbies would be willing to take over a late-1950s church and have alternating services in the building.— October 23, 2018 12:21 p.m.
I-5 has the worst litter, 805 is second
Lost to the sands of time because somebody somewhere in City Hall or their developer friends wants to build more luxury apartments on the site. So much could be done, but nobody in power is interested.— September 21, 2018 1:26 p.m.
I-5 has the worst litter, 805 is second
"What the heck is going on here?" Capitalism in America has been on life support since 2007, San Diego is not friendly to renters, the cities of the County are pushing their homeless to leave....so they take that bus or trolley ticket Downtown or to these squatter camps. Meanwhile you have a closed circa-1953 Public Library that could be converted to a large homeless shelter but the thought never crosses Mayor Kev-boy's mind even though homeless people sleep in front of it.— September 20, 2018 9:12 p.m.
I-5 has the worst litter, 805 is second
You are truly a wonderful individual and San Diego is blessed to have you. Please go down to the Star of India, climb the main mast to the crow's nest, then jump into the Bay.— September 20, 2018 8:59 p.m.
Koch-funded college journalism arrives at SDSU
Yay! More money from the oil company goons! If you aren't a Breitbart troll and have half a brain, please read this: www.archive.org/stream/pdfy-qDYkCJZp968ltoLM/Meet…'s%20Brain It's a pamphlet of sorts written by Mark Ames on Robert LeFevre, the guy who converted Charles and David from being John Birch Society drones (their dad helped found the JBS) to being the Libertarian monsters they are today. If the link doesn't work, throw "Meet Charles Koch's Brain" into a search engine, the 24-page (48 printed out) document was originally part of an issue of *NSFWCORP*, the magazine Ames ran after getting the boot from Moscow (where he ran the expatriate magazine *the eXile*.) LeFevre was in the I AM cult, crossed picket lines during the Depression, was a toady to R. C. Hoiles, and generally operated as a shill most of his adult life. He met the Koch brothers at his Colorado "Freedom School" which was about promoting first-generation Libertarianism. There is a lot more to it, but please read the document - it explains a lot about why Libertarianism works like it does.— September 20, 2018 8:51 p.m.
