Sense and Nonsense
Yep Don, the corporate give aways and the public comp/benefit giveaways- a double whammy to the taxpayers. Narrow special interests, taking from the many to benefit the chosen/rich/connected few.— July 9, 2010 8:40 a.m.
Tentative Ruling: Sanders Must Give Deposition
Jerry Sanders is rehearsing his lines already most used will likely be "to the best of my knowledge " and " I don't recall" By MURPHYJUNK ===================== LOL.......funny stuff. What do they call that??..."plausable deniability"..... or soemthing similar.— July 9, 2010 8:39 a.m.

No, not McCauley. There was a kid MJ paid $20 million too, and I am %100 convicned it was a shake down. Here, this is it-the story said the settlement said it was NOT for molestation; http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/0616041jacko…— July 8, 2010 11:36 p.m.
Comic Relief is Dead
Alleging incestuous relationships in print is dangerous business, even in jest. Newspapers have no sense of humor when it comes to this sort of thing. Airport security screeners don't get it either when people joke about bombs. Nothing was pulled because anyone used humor. By russl ====================== OMG, now I have heard it all....the biggest loud mouth abuser of the TOS on this site spouting off about "Newspapers have no sense of humor when it comes to this sort of thing." Thanks for the laugh! Give me a friggen break. Talk about the the pot calling the kettle black.— July 8, 2010 11:33 p.m.
Sense and Nonsense
It should be easy to check whether receipts from the sales tax increase went in part to fund pensions. =========== Send Richard Rider an email asking to confirm that-he rallied against it for the exact same reason. National City passed the exact same sales tax hike a year or two ago for the same reason, to fund the multi million dollar PD pensions.— July 8, 2010 11:26 p.m.
Tentative Ruling: Sanders Must Give Deposition
Tenative rulings are overturned about 1 out of a 1,000. It is very rare. It is not getting over turned.— July 8, 2010 11:23 p.m.

Sorry, SurfPup, I am convinced he did molest children, and paid millions of dollars in hush money to some of his victims so that he wouldn't go to prison over what he did. Yes, he was eccentric, but he was not crazy or stupid. ============ Paying the $20 million was the biggest mistake of MJ's life. He did that, IMO, to try to protect his reputation, of which just the allegations would prove devestating. But it did the opposite-it made him appear guilty, and it made him a target instead. Katt Williams-funny guy! Yes, he was funny.....Calling MJ a "white woman"!!— July 8, 2010 8:52 p.m.
Will For-Profit Colleges Make Us Forget Subprime Mortgages?
The DoE should have shut thes clowns down 4 years ago. The real test on the effectiveness of the school is a simple one; How much of the student loan debt has been paid back after 2, 5, 8, 10 year intervals. DoE does not track that fater the first two years. If the default rate is over 20% the school is not doing it's job. The national default rate for student loans today is over 40%, for certain HBCU's it can go over 50%. One reason is the scams associated with forcing defaults on students, driving up the loan's "costs and fees". So a $1K loan can be turned into a $25K loan. Of course the only reason Sallie Mae, Nelnet and other student loan scammers can get away with this BS is the unconstitutional laws they have gotten passed by a corrupt Congress so they can engage in this fraud with basically impunity. One of the expert witnesses I used extensively in student loan litigation is the guy that runs this website; www.studentloanjustice.org— July 8, 2010 8:46 p.m.

Good article! It is straight up fraud.— July 8, 2010 6:36 p.m.

Everyone is free to have an opinion about MJ, and in the end no one knows for sure, but will base their opinion on the things we do know. From everything I know, there is no doubt in my mind, none whatsoever, that MJ was NOT a child molester and was just a weird guy that was an easy target b/c of his weird & eccentric life (come on, a chimp named "Bubbles" and a hyper-baric chamber!!).— July 8, 2010 6:35 p.m.
