Spanos Clan to Host Romney Fundraiser at Stockton Estate
I cannot believe the pathetic candidates the GOP are running. Romney s the ONLY one who has a legit chance at beating Obama. And Obama would lose a race against ANY decent candidate because of the unemployment and overall sad state of Te economy, which he has not improved at all. That Newt Gingrich and Santorum are even in the race at this point shows how pathetic the GOP is (and how money from super pacs can influence gov), NEITHER Newt Gingrich or Santorum could ever get the Independent/swing voters, who are the majority today.— March 6, 2012 11:36 p.m.

Newsom Attacks Critic of Project Backed by Wealthy Donor
I agree 100%. Anyone that would cheat on his best friend's wife is unfit to hold any office and I would never want such a person as a friend.— March 6, 2012 12:33 p.m.

DONATIONS!!! I will tell you what my sisters admissions "coach" told them, he can get any kid into ANY school with a $125K athletic scholarship donation to the school. Make that donation and it is a done deal no matter what your grades and test scores are. There is NO doubt in my mnd that is 100% true.— March 6, 2012 10:38 a.m.

The valedictorian reference at Harvard and Stanford may be legit-because it only applies to one person PER SCHOOL, but the test scores and grades are not legit. We know grade inflation is rampant, especially at private K-12 schools. We know the SAT and similar tests can all be gamed to the extent that the rich can afford private tutoring and classes, as well as unlimited study time, which virtually no poor or middle class American has access to. Everyone I knew in HS and college worked part time, and it always affected study time-especially me who worked at UPS and had to work my PT job FT during December when I had finals and had to do both-study and work a FT job. You have to study for the tests, but when you have superstar coaches the difference is immense. My sister is married to a multi millionaire and their children ALL have a private college admissions "coach". And last, there are MANY "legacy" admissions at ALL of the ivy league schools. GW Bush, who had a "C" average was admitted into the Harvard Business School, so the claim they only allow in the best is not accurate. I have no idea what the legacy % is, but it has to be high.— March 6, 2012 8:36 a.m.
Carlsbad SWAT Officers Train (Loudly) for School Shooting Incidents

Yep-100% TRUE, both law schools are notorious for grade inflation. I have heard grade inflation is not as bad on the undergraduate level at Harvard. Stanford is a different story- they do not give out D's or F's. They just do not assign them. And I have never known anyone at Stanford to get a C. Here is a famous study about grade inflation at Duke; http://gradeinflation.com/duke.html— March 5, 2012 11:14 p.m.
Pay Raises for City Council & Mayor Unanimously Rejected
This "analysis" doesn't count the "fringe" benefits == Considering these people can start drawing a pension after 8 years-at ANY age, the benefits are potentially worth millions.— March 5, 2012 4:33 p.m.
Pay Raises for City Council & Mayor Unanimously Rejected
The premise posed by the commission that salary is the driving factor to lure "well qualified and experience candidates" is also faulty. There are litterilly hundreds of people volunteering their time, experience and expertise to, and for the City, on Boards and Commissions without any compensation. Not to mention more than a thousand volunteers working for free within various City Departments == Excellent points.— March 5, 2012 4:30 p.m.
