City Seeks Care for Canines' Canines
I clean the tarter build up off my dogs teeths myself, every couple of months. They need to be trained to sit back and let you do the HARD scrapping of their teeth. The back ones are the worst, and the front K-9's the second worst. I use a metal nail file and press down hard on the tarter and then scrap it-it chips the ultra hard tarted right off. Takes several scraps per tooth, but if you do it regularly the build up comes of easy. Now, my adopted senior Put Bull arrived with AWFUL teeth. Her K-9's are completely ground down to a 1/4 of an inch and are partially broken. But I did scrap them, she didn't like it but put up with me. My Vet would not work on them because she said that Pit Bull teeth can go very far into the bone and she might hurt her if she extracted them, so she wanted me to go to a specialist in Orange County. It was too far,and I have not done anything with them since I adopted her June 13. She is sick right now and I hope it is not a problem related to her teeth and gums.....................— November 14, 2010 8:28 a.m.

I read yesterday that Philadelphia is going to run out of pension funding in 2014-3 years.— November 14, 2010 8:28 a.m.

There is NO WAY a stadium deal is going to happen. There is NO money, has not been any for 4 years, and there won't be any in the next 5-15 years at least. And FINALLY the public has had enough of this corporate welfare FOR billionaires. The stadium jig is UP. The defeat of Prop D was a thorough spanking of not only Sanders and the pension tax, but also the backroom stadium deal. I think that attempt to backend the stadium pushed all the fence sitters off the fence and against the Spanos Crime Family, Inc. They cannot win now. Let them move-they can take their corporate welfare scams with them.— November 14, 2010 8:19 a.m.
Carlsbad Treehouse Goes Over Property Line
Poor little girl!!!!.....but I have to side with Butler, if a kid fell out of that tree house and landed in Butlers yard-or worse yet on their community fence-it could indeed get them dragged into a lawsuit and face potential $%$$$$ liability. I only speak from a liability point of view-I want the tree house to stay for the kids, but not over someone else's preoprty and fence.— November 13, 2010 4:30 p.m.
Unthinkable — Raider Nation Rising
Raiders are on track to double the number of touchdowns they scored in 2009 (17 in 2009 ========= I had NO IDEA they were THAT BAD in 2009!!!!!! . . don't forget, they still have Tom Cable and a seemingly senile Al Davis =================== The Raiders will NEVER win a division title again, much less a Superbowl, with Al Davis as the GM. He is senile. He is also confined to a wheel chair today-yet he STILL wants to the be coach calling the plays from the GM box. I grew up in Oakland as a kid, a DIE HARD Raider fan, but once Davis carpet bagged the team to LA in 82 that was it- I lost all respect for him, and the team. I will never, ever be a Raider fan agin. When I was growing up the Raiders had NEVER had a losing season, and had a 15-1 record on Monday Night football going back a decade. Im a Chargers fan now, even when they lose— November 13, 2010 4:26 p.m.

We have returned to the days of the Robber Barons, when owners of railroads, banks, and Wall Street firms controlled politicians of both parties === I agree with both Don and Nan. We have a one party system, both dems and repugs are bought and p[aid for with special interest money-and today there is no shame in it. The Robber Barons line is very true IMO. You have huge corps, ususally a handful of 3-4, who can form an oligarchy and manipulate the markets. Oil is a good example-Standard Oil in 1911 was busted under the Sherman Anti-Trust Act into 39 different companies, and they have all basically been merged back together into 4 major companies today, right back to where we were in 1911 (almost anyway). I think grocery stores are another example, as are banking and cummunications. These are parasites and right now the host-the middle class- is on life support and may die.— November 13, 2010 4:15 p.m.

San Diego is recognized by many as the large U.S. city that is the most likely candidate for bankruptcy. ========== Chicago is at least tied, if not ahead of San Diego. I think in another year Boston and Los Angeles may pass us too.— November 13, 2010 4:06 p.m.

SP--Sanders is a grad of National U! === Thanks. I saw on Wikipedia he attended SDSU, it implies he went to work at SDPD after he graduated.— November 13, 2010 2:23 p.m.

Look at the result of the November election and the change in congress, it's obvious that once these people get into office they stop listening to you and me and do what's in their own best interest. Then the people vote them out and the cycle begins all over again. ============= Oh, you're preaching to the chior, I agree 100%, we are no longer a democracy, but a corporatocracy. Special interessts run this country.— November 13, 2010 2:22 p.m.

I think Prop D was the final straw against Sanders in the eyes of the vast majority of San Diegans. I am still wondering how he could have been so stupid as to try such a stunt on the eve of the Prop D vote-it is absolute stupidity. Does anyone know if Sanders possesses any education beyond HS? I think he attended SDSU, but don't recall if it was for more than one semester or maybe he even graduated. I'll try wikipedia after this and see what I come up with.— November 13, 2010 12:05 p.m.
