Because one opera company isn't enough
They sell because they are good. I embarrassed my wife many years ago when I stayed seated and booed whilst the rest were giving the SD Symp a standing ovation for some &o!!@m&d atonal "music." I usually remain silent, and this is the only time I have ever booed anything. Clearly, I have no taste. I wanted to get my money back and sue for my time and expense of getting there and pain and suffering, but my sensible wife (oh! miracles do happen) dissuaded me. I would have lost, of course, but as John Kennedy said when chastised for calling the steel industry magnates sonsabitches, "I know it was wrong, but IT FELT SO GOOD!"— July 10, 2015 1:12 p.m.
Young, black, and...hassled?
Remove some of the protection on individual officials.— July 10, 2015 2:30 a.m.
Young, black, and...hassled?
But the quality of media (not to mention scholarship) is currently quite strained--merciless mayhem, to put it mildly. "Most scholars" are behind the cutting edge, and pig-hidebound to a stultifying tradition that ain't relevant to a period when Murphy's Law is running amok. Monkey see, monkey do. Note the popularity of jackass stunts that require us to pay the health care cost for even more vegetables.— July 10, 2015 2:28 a.m.
Because one opera company isn't enough
There used to be a restaurant in Banker's Hill where the wait staff sang opera at will--not "perfect," perhaps, but full of heart. Maybe something like this is what opera is coming to? Der Rheinlander Haus in La Jolla Shores used to be a hang out for some singers who would sometimes just "give us a song" at will. Happy, unstuffy, unpretentious times. ?Quien sabe?— July 10, 2015 2:17 a.m.
Hysteria won't build a stadium
Don Bauder July 9, 2015 @ 6:42 a.m. San Diego is short of funds. Money MUST be spent on infrastructure. There is simply no rational reason that the city or city and county should subsidize the Chargers. There are only emotional reasons for such an expenditure. And money reasons. And political. Don Bauder July 9, 2015 @ 8:42 a.m. The public only hears the views of people who are bought and paid for. Best, Don Bauder Does this refute part of Ponzi's comment, ( Ponzi July 8, 2015 @ 10:33 p.m.), most of which is "on the money?" Ponzi, can you detail just how you would use social media to defeat de corps?— July 9, 2015 3:10 p.m.
Doug and Kevin’s Balboa bash
OBSCENE--in the fullest sense of the word.— July 8, 2015 10:16 p.m.
Dick-rated
It is all the more hilarious because it IS treated as a serious matter. It ain't funny--it's pathetic. What a WASTE!— July 8, 2015 10:12 p.m.
Hysteria won't build a stadium
Threatening to leave is also a convenient way to stir up the idiots (who can out-vote the rest of us) into a frenzy to support more and More bleeding of the treasury and leaving all San Diegans to vote for higher taxes that are already too high. Wake UP, dumb-dums! You must enjoy getting #ucked in the a$$ with a broom-handle.— July 8, 2015 10:04 p.m.
Hysteria won't build a stadium
Not quite. Stop squandering your and my tax money and sacrificing essentials like police, fire, and infrastructure to pay for what the private entity, any private entity, should be paying for itself. STOP (CHARGER) AND ALL CORPORATE WELFARE. PERIOD.— July 8, 2015 9:57 p.m.
Florida biotech subsidies not working
They came, they saw that they could not be seen, they conquered the Fla-taxpayer. Great examples of the corporate moral center phenomenon.— July 8, 2015 10:52 a.m.
