Chula Vista City Councilmember Declares Mexico Safe for Travel
Chula Vista Deputy Mayor Rudy Ramirez says the public's perception that Mexico is unsafe is not supported by real crime statistics. ============== LOL...Rudy Ramirez needs to put the crack pipe down, the Mexican drug cartels have killed more than 40K people in TJ and Mexico in the last 2 years alone. They killed a US DEA agent just 2 months ago. No one is buying the whopper that Mexico is safe.— July 18, 2011 11:08 p.m.

DMV to Waive Renewal Fees
is the reader SERIOUSLY trying to spin this? the state government told the dmv to stop sending renewal notices because the garbage in sacramento was crossing their fingers hoping that the tax increases from 2009 wouldnt expire on time and that id have to pay $500 instead of $300 for my car renewal. the great news: they didnt get their way, and now I have $200 more in my pocket. ================== You are correct. It was a sham move meant to hijack your pocket book so GED public employees could continue receiving their $10 million dollar "retire at age 50" pensions.— July 18, 2011 10:46 p.m.
The Cost of College
The cost of college is outrageous. And I want to know why. I was in college in 1984, and it was $2500. My kids go to college now & it’s 25 thousand. ========================= San Diego State in 1982 was $150 per semester. Community Colleges were free. In 1982 11% of the CA budget went to the CC, CSU and UC systems, today it is 3%. In 1982 3% of the CA budget went to prisons, today it is 12%. Today prison guards "retire" at age 50 with $3-$10 million dollar pensions (with annual $100K salaries whole working)-as do all cops, FF's bnd a host of other gov jobs. That is why it costs so much to go to a state college today. You have your answer. You can make mutli millionaires out of GED gov empoyees or you can help kids get a college education-but you cannto do BOTH, the money is not there for both.— July 18, 2011 10:33 a.m.
The Cost of College
In fact kids are probably dumber now than in 1984 given the currrent state of our public education ============ The you're wrong. The HS drop our rate in the 40's 50's was over 50%. And education is much more intense and demanding today than it was 50-60 years ago.— July 18, 2011 10:29 a.m.
Doggie-Bag Ads
The program, reads the draft agreement, will save the city $16,000 every year; the cost of purchasing the 430,000 doggie bags needed to stock the city's pet stations. ================ If a city of 16K, of which only 3K have a dog, needs 430K doggie bags then they have some problems.......— July 18, 2011 10:25 a.m.
Ex-Tijuana Mayor Jorge Hank Rhon Tied to 149 Gambling Operations Throughout Mexico

Blow Out the Pilot Light: JLo and Marc Anthony Kaput!
Rumor has it that the studio didn't want Desi, but had to take him as part of the deal to get Lucy. ========== Actually the studio would not buy the series unless they BOTH could prove their comedy chops so Desi and Lucy took the act on the road and did live shows, the studio liked it and before you know it "I Love Lucy" was on the air for 6 seasons, where itwas #1 for 4 years, #2 for one year and #3 for one year, but the ratings did not decline in chronological order. They knocked the other very competitive "Rifleman" series with Chuck Connors off the air. The BEST thing that ever happened was the shows sponsor-Philip Morris- refused to covet the $5K per episode of the new film they were using to film the show, so Desi said they would cover the costs-and with the costs were the rights to all the elisodes, and when syndication hit a few years later it was a lottery jackpot. Desi and Lucy ended up buying the stuido-which I think was RKO (???).— July 17, 2011 11:39 a.m.
