SDNN Was Effervescent Until Drop Dead Day
Platinum even shut down the Union Tribune Shoe Fund and transferred the assets to the San Diego Foundation, according to the foundation's website. The fund was organized in the 1930s to provide shoes to the poor By Burwell ==================== In the 30 years I have lived here I have never in my life heard of this shoe fund. So I Googled it and I am amazed I have never come across it in the UT. What an amazing story to hear about- very inspriring. The UT Shoe Fund cite does not say they are shut down though, and they are still seeking contributions. Great story-and I can honestly say I have never heard of this happening anywhere else-although I am sure it does. This builds solid community good will, and if the current UT owners skimp and burn local bridges like they would by shutting down this fund-well they are not very smart IMO. http://utshoefund.signonsandiego.com/— June 4, 2010 10:24 p.m.

Yes, well, I am reminded of that famous Monty Python skit where the bridge-guarding knight gets both arms and legs chopped off and continues to verbally badger his foe. =========== One of the BEST Monty Python scenes ever! That and the scene of the "killer rabbit", if you recall that one :)— June 4, 2010 5:53 p.m.

Employment Report Suggests Economy Weakening Alarmingly
What did I tell you-no jobs = no recovery. Plus, on top of the jobs report, of the 430K "new" jobs, 411K of them were GOV JOBS! Oh man, you can't make this stuff up! Property taxes in CA are down 18% from last year-and last year they were down 30% from the year before. Sales tax is down 10% from last year and who knows how far sales tax was down the year before that. June 30 is when CA must have a new budget in place-who wants to bet that not only will there be no timely budget signed June 30, but I predict that a new budget will NOT be signed until November 1st, 2010-4 months past the deadline. With HUGE gov employee cuts. We are in uncharted waters. The budget time bomb is going off, and this is the year that the state/muni's cannot borrow their way out of this mess (using even the best smoke and mirrors). Grab a lawn chain and a bag of popcorn, this is goign to be good.— June 4, 2010 12:53 p.m.

I wonder how much loot Nancy buried in coffee cans ========== There is a documentary played on Showtime every now and then called "Cocaine Cowboys" about a crew of coke smugglers back in the 80's in Miami, and they buried their cash out in the ground around their 100 acre estates. Pretty crazy stuff....— June 4, 2010 10:42 a.m.

In general, about half of the population has an iq of 90-110 and are considered average. Someone with an iq of 120 would be considered superior and would be in about the 91st percentile, meaning they are smarter,as measured, than about 91% of the population. Whether or not you were impressed with Dominelli, being in the top 9% is impressive in my book. By lifesbeengood ==================== The problem is intellect/IQ level and honesty, honor, compassion and ethics are all mutually exclusive qualities. Reminds me of people who want potential SCOTUS justices to be gifted a seat on the court just because they went to Harvard or Yale and were on the law review, when the real test should be that ethics should put first and foremost ahead of everything else.— June 4, 2010 8:10 a.m.
