Rosa/Luisa: The California Whirlwind, Part Two
What is even more ironic is nearly ALL of CA was a part of Mexico until the US took it.— July 27, 2011 6:26 p.m.
Who Watches the UCAN Watchdog?
The morale at UCAN is abysmal and has been for a couple of years. ========================= No kidding, they hired that convicted felon City Councilman at what $250K per year, while everyone else works there for peansuts, $25K or less-that might get people's moral down???????? Was it Zuchett they hired at $250K-the one in that stripper scandal??? I don't recall.— July 27, 2011 3:07 p.m.

However, on Shames's own documents, he claims to be an attorney. The same is true with CPUC document; Shames gets intervenor fees and is listed as an attorney =============== He IS an attorney, but inactive. Being inactive does not make him a non-attorney. Unless he is claiming to be representing someone, anyone, which he is not then he is free to refer to himself in this manner. / / I do think it is wrong to keep calling himself an attorney. ============== I disagree. Perfectly reasonable. Let me ask you this Don, if a Doctor stops practicing medicine and goes into another profession, is it wrong to still refer to him as a doctor???? Of course not. He will always be a doctor, whether he is practicing medicine or not. Same with Shames. He is a lawyer, always will be, even if he is not doing it for a living.— July 27, 2011 3:05 p.m.

Incidents like these led me to long ago conclude that "non-profits" can be very profitable for the people who work there although the public (and donors) still have the notion that employees of non-profits are making a sacrifice for the public good. ============= Are you kidding me, "non-profits" are one of the bigest scams going. The NFL is a "non-profit". The Red Cross is a "non-profit", the same San Diego Red Cross who had their CEO pulling down a $400K comp package a few years back. The United Way where KFC Sanders was CEO and pulling down a HUGE comp package is a "non-profit". Most Universities are "non-profits" where the faculty and admin are comped several hundred grand per year......— July 27, 2011 11:15 a.m.
Who Watches the UCAN Watchdog?
While I agree I'm surprised by this revelation, especially by a person whose whole career has been advocating for others. I too was very surprised to read about the level of his compensation. It seems greed has once again clouded good judgement and common sense, causing controversy and tarnishing the reputation of the individual and organization to say the very least. ====================== Shames has done NOTHING wrong nor illegal. He was NOT "attorney of record" for anyone- nor did he hold himself out to be. He is a licensed attorney in good standing and as such he can file for active status at ANYTIME. This was the exact same argument made against Jerry Clown when he was elected AG of CA. That he was not eligible b/c he was "not an attorney" for the 5 years before his election (his license was on "inactive" status) therefore he could not be AG. Guess what-BIG SURPRISE, the bar and everyone else said Clown WAS an attorney-an attorney on inactive status, and as we all know Clown become AG of CA. Presdient Obama resigned from the IL Bar, he is therfore NOT an attorney. He is NOT on inactive status but resigned. That makes a difference.— July 27, 2011 11:09 a.m.

Arnold & Maria's Son Hospitalized After Surfing Accident
Arnold is not that good looking, and the teeth sure don't help. As for the charm, he has charisma for sure, but he also has a well known sadistic side to him too, a side the public does not usually see or even know about-the Arnold the Barbarian story in Priemier magazine brought that out to the public. There are many stories from his BBing days where he played cruel jokes on others......— July 26, 2011 9:46 p.m.
Navy Reportedly Revokes Silver Star of Imprisoned La Jollan Wade Sanders
“Sanders in 2008 pleaded guilty to one count of possessing child pornography..." You don't plead guilty unless you are. If he was doing "research" then he should have gone to trial. He is guilty-simple call.— July 26, 2011 9:42 p.m.
