Blackwater to be Sold as Similar Firm Fights Opposition in Ocotillo
I remember when former CA Senator Alan Cranston ran for Presdient, he was as bald as a Q-ball, but he still dyed his hair-hilarious stuff. And Jan Goldsmith- words cannot describe his wig, and the mindset he has to wear a wig that bad.— December 22, 2010 9:10 a.m.
Gin's Lead Indicators Inch Forward in November
I would not buy gold at this time, it has had it's run up-it will msot likely come back down. Remember, gold sat at or around $300/once for 15 years or so.....and since it does not earn interest the only upside is appreciation.— December 22, 2010 9:08 a.m.
San Diego Unemployment Rate Remains in Double Digits
Big Business doesn't care about Main Street, have not for the last 30 years.....neither do the Congress IMO. Big Business outsourced the manufacturing, and tax base, of our country. Congress allowed by not stepping in to stop it, and by default stopped protecting our standard of living.— December 21, 2010 10:41 p.m.
Gin's Lead Indicators Inch Forward in November
But the lead indicators, both for the nation and for San Diego, reflect all the liquidity that the federal government and Federal Reserve are pumping into the economy -- trillions of dollars of it. Stock prices, consumer confidence, and the national economy are jacked up by all this liquidity. ===================== I am from the Friedrich August Hayek school of economics, save the money and expand with that money you have saved, not borrowed, like Keynes says-borrowing is what we have been doing and it simply doesn't work.........— December 21, 2010 9:56 p.m.
San Diego Unemployment Rate Remains in Double Digits
Maybe we should put on a Econ 101 Review for the entire City Council... ===================== You're assuming the clowncil have the brain power to learn from such an experience, unfortunately their brains seem to be stuck at the untrained circus chimp learning level!— December 21, 2010 5:11 p.m.
Three Oceanside Assailants Sentenced in Beating of Elderly Woman
I got to wonder about the plea bargain and the fact that one of the defendent's mother used to be in a position of authority in the local government ========= No need to wonder-it is obvious on it's face, these losers were connected into a sweetheart deal no poor person ,or anyone not connected in, would get. This is a requiring at a minimum county jail time, if this clown had any priors I would have sentenced him to state prison-if I were the judge. Then again I have a set and don't play political games, which would count me out as a San Diego Superior Court judge.— December 21, 2010 5:08 p.m.
Three Oceanside Assailants Sentenced in Beating of Elderly Woman
I can only assume that the evidence against these three was such that none of these individual street warriors, capable of dropping persons fully half their size and more than twice their age, had the courage of the presumed innocent to take their cases to trial. ============= You can tell by the pic that this bad boy street warrior is a skinny pencil neck twig who would get dropped with one punch in a real fight........— December 21, 2010 5:05 p.m.
Three Oceanside Assailants Sentenced in Beating of Elderly Woman
Come on America, let's start holding accountable for their actions! =============== The only person who should be ashamed is the judge for agreeing to this politically connected plea deal, for a loser.— December 21, 2010 5:03 p.m.
Three Oceanside Assailants Sentenced in Beating of Elderly Woman
Marion Kyle testified that it was Tyler Mackin who leaned back to deliver a roundhouse punch to her face that sent her to her knees, after they argued at her front gate. ==================== They should have been charged with felony elder abuse in addition to the battery charges. . . . Tyler Mackin pleaded guilty to felony assault PC245 (a)(1) and felony resisting arrest by means of threat and violence PC69. These are not considered strikes.....He was sentenced to 365 days “work furlough” under direction of the Sheriff and three years probation today ======================= If FELONY BATTERY on a senior citizen is not going to be charged as a strike, when petty theft with a prior is, then the system is broken, and being gamed, and my next segment will tell you why. He should have received, AT A MINIMUM, a year in county AND A FIRST STRIKE. . . . Mackin is reportedly the son of Shari Mackin, a former Oceanside City Councilwoman. ====================== This is his "get out of jail free card" and the basic double standard in our judicial system. The rich, or politically connected, don't face the same justice the poor (and weak) do. I am a card carrying ALCU member (NRA too!), and this is one reason why.— December 21, 2010 5:01 p.m.
San Diego Unemployment Rate Remains in Double Digits
When our Leaders vote for Big Projects "because we need jobs" it makes me mad because most of these jobs are short term and the debt they create is very L-o-n-g term! ================= Yep! And any 1st semester econ major knows 80% of ALL job creation comes from SMALL business, not big business or big projects.— December 21, 2010 12:26 p.m.
