Dodd-Frank Gives SEC Exemption from Providing Documents
Big Business (and special interests) runs America, and unless someone steps in and puts a stop to it the country is doomed.— September 16, 2010 4:45 p.m.
Does the D in Prop D stand for "Dash for Cash"?
I will vote yes on D..not because I'm stupid but because we need an actual fix and not paying anything more and cutting services still does little to create positive revenue. ============= How about cutting the gold plated Cadillac pay and pensions??? Most people I know do not want to pay gold played compensation for silver plated services.....especially when they are down sized.... Prop D is going down, it won't even be close.— September 16, 2010 8:58 a.m.
They Shoot Engineers, Don't They?
At 58 I am VERY surprised you are not discriminated against based on age.— September 16, 2010 8:55 a.m.

Five Oceanside Police Have DUIs?
SP, if you know of any such promotions where testing was ignored, by all means, spell it out here or email it to Don. That's a story that needs to be told. =========== Hiring is not based on civil service testing, nor are promotions. Not in LA not SD, the MAIN hiring factor is the infamous "oral interview" which is 100% subjective and is what allows the cronyism and nepotism to flourish. Same goes for hiring the chief-interviews (by the city council), no civil service testing anymore. What we need is a system where hiring AND promotions are 100% based on objective testing, like the woman you speak of refried. I have said it numerous times in this thread-if the testing were 100% objective the entire make up of police would be different. Same with Fire Dept's.— September 15, 2010 7:20 p.m.
Five Oceanside Police Have DUIs?
Gates did alot of good things, like originating the SWAT program ========== Darryle Gates did not originate the SWAT team, he was the supervisor that went with the concept, but it originated with Officer John Nelson.— September 15, 2010 7:14 p.m.
City Wants Consultant for Managed Competition
I guess it would like hanging someone in effigy, done to raise Public Awareness... ============== Or throw the losers who are RESPONSIBLE for this mess in JAIL.....cough..Jack...cough, couch..McGrory...cough, and use them as a flaming signpost as to what happens when you rip off the public.— September 15, 2010 11:41 a.m.
San Diego women who have converted to Islam
Adding on to Founder's info, watch the film CAIRO TIME starring Patricia Clarkson ======================== I would watch ANYTHING with Patricia Clarkson!— September 15, 2010 11:39 a.m.
San Diego’s home-price recovery isn’t what it seems
You've forgotten, SP, that the major bailouts were George W. Bush's doing, and this Great Recession started on his watch, partly because he encouraged debt/consumption and cut taxes of the superrich while the middle class evanesced. Yes, Obama is a disappointment in many respects, but he inherited an horrendous mess ================= Booshieee gets no free pass from me, he is worse in my book. I have in the past stated that Boooshiieee is probably the worst president of the last 100 years IMO. I still think that-his invasion of Iraq was cerainly a play for oil-and his lie that the "war wouls pay for itself" goes down as one of the biggest whoppers in presidential history.— September 15, 2010 8:33 a.m.
NY Pension System Underfunded; State Broke
Tax revenue did not decrease with the passage of Prop 13, what happened was "fees" in other areas were increased -much as what is happening today with our water costs in San Diego - to make up any "tax" shortfall in funding. So even though we had Prop 13, the tax and fee revenue still increased to the state.— September 15, 2010 8:30 a.m.
