Tiger Woods to Open 2011 Season at Torrey Pines
Too many people rate or judge "success" by monetary value-instead of moral and ethical value. I don't need money to feel good about myself, never have, never will. I am a straight shooter who won't run when facing down something that is wrong, no matter what the cost. I stick to my guns/values.— January 20, 2011 7:04 p.m.
Tiger Woods to Open 2011 Season at Torrey Pines
Happiness comes from the inside out, not the outside in ================ Oh, how true that is, and yet so many people have trouble figuring that one out...........— January 20, 2011 3:33 p.m.
Wall Street Traders Bring Home Far More Than Brain Surgeons
You think big business controls government, I contend that at the very top there's a symbiotic relationship as evidenced by the migration of top government apparatchiks into business and vice versa. You and the rest of the talking class makes a big deal about the bottom 90%, and I feel that the best way they can be helped is by giving them jobs, not handouts. The average poor person today has a much better life than Louix XIV had in many ways. ================== Jeff, you're comments are so full of baloney it makes me laugh! Big Business does not control gov?? Are you for real????? 40% of ALL legislation today is WRITTEN by Big Business, 60% of ALL PASSED legislation is written by Big Business. The gap between the top 1/10th of the top 1% is at it's widest spread EVER. And you claim Big Business is not running the show-OMG I cannot believe you made such a ridiculously stooopid comment. Do you even keep up on current events? Or does your trading background make you some sort of expert on gov and muni affairs by osmosis that the rest of us common folks don't understand, or b/c we do not do it "60 hours per week"???? We live in a banana republic today where the rule of law is sold to the highest bidder. That is Big Business and special interest. The courts are nothing more than an extension of that failure. We live in a neo-feudalist society. BTW-the "average" person today-whoever that is- faces a life that is far harder than your Louix XIV comment, last time I checked they didn't have AIDS back then, they didn't have a murder rate of literally tens of thousands per year due to drug wars as TJ does, they didn't face the threat of nukes raining down on them or wild wingnuts flying 747's into sky scrappers. Your comments to Louix XIV are just flat out dumb. Sorry to be so blunt, but you had to hear that.— January 20, 2011 9:50 a.m.

The dollar is collapsing right now??? ================= Errr.r...yes, it is, big time. I guess you think the old greenback still has the purchasing power it did 5 years ago too! . Are you guessing or do you have inside info? Are you a clairvoyant, a soothsayer? =================== LOL....this coming from who-YOU? Who claims that the major Investment Banks have their "own skin in the game"? Please!— January 20, 2011 9:37 a.m.
Goldsmith Appeals Suit He Ridiculed Aguirre for Filing
But you gotta wonder, is resurrecting some of his predecessor's dead litigation, a well reasoned move? By JustWondering ========================= After yesterdays court hearing on the exact same issue, it is not a "well reasoned move", it is a brilliant move. There is virtually NO downside, and billions in upside. If I were JustClueless I would prepay the rent on the doublewide.— January 20, 2011 9:32 a.m.
Goldsmith Appeals Suit He Ridiculed Aguirre for Filing
Aguirre argued that the benefits boost created a future debt, and voters should have been able to vote on it. Thus, those increases were unenforceable. Aguirre lost. ===================== This is the same theory that OC sued their sheriff deputies on, illegal retroactive pension increases violated debt limit laws. That case had oral argument yesterday morning in DT Los Angeles at the court of appeals (which I am following) and the Sheriff's attorneys got their butt handed to them. Don't be shocked to see OC win that case that and Mike was right all along-from the get go; . http://appellatecases.courtinfo.ca.gov/search/cas… . The link has ALL the background info.

Antiques Roadshow Needs to Appraise the Appraisers
Antiques Road Show used to be my favorite PBS program, but History Detectives replaced it. Both shows are top notch IMO.— January 19, 2011 3:11 p.m.

So, Surfdawg, After GS went public there were no partnerships left on the street? See, you are a good example of one who gets their facts from the financial press etc as this is blatantly incorrect ===================== That's right, and I am 100% correct-Goldman was the last of the 6-now 4- major investment banks to go public. It was what set them apart from the rest, in recent times. In the old days ALL of them were private partnerships. Now, if you're going to start claiming some little mom and pop firm is still private let me qualify my comment for you- Goldman was the last MAJOR investment bank to go from a private partnership to a public company. How's that? make more sense?— January 19, 2011 3:08 p.m.
Accused Gunman Brendan O’Rourke at Vista Courthouse
No one was killed or seriously inured as a result of pure luck. It is a miracle no children were killed. Same with Cox, he was 3 feet away-point blank- and tried to kill her. I think this guy is mentally ill, similar to the AZ shooter.— January 19, 2011 9 a.m.
Is Chula Vista Budgetary Rainstorm That Bad?
Most agencies require employees to be certified in things by state codes and the professional enrichment helps pay for some of that certification. =================== Baloney. You don't need any certification outside of what the job and P.O.S.T. require-and it is ALL PAID FOR BY THE EMPLOYER. Once again for the feeble minded, cop, FF are both GED jobs. They require neither prior work experience nor education beyond the GED. The jobs are grossly over compensated for the skill and experience they require. The employer pays for ALL the training. I hope CV files BK and gives all you whiney little cry babies a HUGE pay and pension haircut. Well, the pension haircut will come sooner or later, hopefully sooner.— January 19, 2011 8:58 a.m.
