Bleeping On Your Knees
Whether or not you enjoy South Park, there is a bigger issue at stake here. Do we let a bunch of Bullies-for-Muhammad have their way and let them dictate what we can read, hear, see, sing, believe, or even think? Or do we tell them "Take your best shot, chump--cos we're gonna take you down if you carry out your threat!" ===================== I agree 100%. NEVER let others dictate to you how to live your life....or they win. South Parks creators said exactly what you have said. Never cave in to terrorists.— May 3, 2010 10:11 p.m.
U-T Puffs up Bridgepoint. Uh, Look Further
The mayor damned near ran into me on the sidewalk the other day. By Twister ============= T-if the Mayor actually "ran into [you]" you wouldn't be around to post (or tell us about it), you would be a pancake. KFC Sanders has more girth than Shamu these days.........— May 3, 2010 10:08 p.m.
San Diego’s chronic structural budget deficit affliction
I am not talking price. I think the main problem is that you have very limited use for such a large parcel of land. Only a handful of people can use a golf course at any given time, and the amount of space the take up (and the cost to maintain) is tremendous-at least in the case of Torrey Pines. Mission Bay is pretty small, I don't know about Balboa. The golf course in Coronado, right at the end of the bridge going in, is a muni-but I guess Coronado owns that one. Again, I am not even talking price-I am talking strictly return on investment. For such a big amount of land, more people should be able to use the facility. And no, I don't golf. It is a finesse game. I am not finesse.— May 3, 2010 2:54 p.m.

James Spader has the pretty boy role down perfect in this flick, that hair of his!!!!! And Annie Potts, yes!!!.....looking sweeeettt! This show has so many good actors that went on to big careers.....— May 2, 2010 9:41 p.m.
San Diego’s chronic structural budget deficit affliction
Golf courses, of course, are NOT essential government services. ====== I am backing twister on this issue. Muni golf courses are not a wise use of public money or resources, because of the limited use the public receives. Low ROI. Gold courses take up a ton of space, space which can only be used by a LIMITED amount of the public-and only those who own golf clubs at that. I would tear the greens out and make them all parks-that way everyone could use and enjoy the area, not just the elite few.....a Par 3 would be OK, but no full 9-18 hole courses.......— May 2, 2010 8:41 p.m.
Old Men in Chula Vista Are Different Now
You know another funny thing, since we're talking the south bay back 30-40 years ago, is that it was all WHITE back then. The demographics have changed so much....... I used to work at National City Middle School (yes NCMS has hardbound yearbooks going back to the 60's) and a number of CV HS's, and would look at the yearbooks from the 60's, and the schools back then were almost 100% white. It is fun to look back at those old yearbooks and compare the changes...........— May 2, 2010 11:19 a.m.

Old Men in Chula Vista Are Different Now
As for the Bob Dylan stories, I'll think of the best one and post it in a later entry. ============ STOP being a tease and POST it up! I need to hear dat story, ASAP please.— May 2, 2010 11:11 a.m.
Spread the Wealth
The money that goes to pay administrative costs for the corporation and the city equals about half of the collected tax ===================== 50% goes to the actual purprose~That's a DEAL! Most gov programs spend 80% of every dollar on admin costs. A typical example is Unemplyment Insurance-for every dollar paid into the UE system 80 cents goes to the gov to run the program and only 20 cents actually makes it to the unemployed worker.— May 2, 2010 11:07 a.m.
