Who crashed up Grantville's multi-thousand-dollar sign?
"Taking responsibility" means something completely different nowadays, apparently.— February 9, 2015 8:36 p.m.
Fear for a good neighbor
Great advice to National City, Alex: quit trying to improve and embrace your image as a poverty pit. Thanks, pal.— January 23, 2015 7:23 p.m.
C-plus
The UCs gave up on quality undergraduate education a long time ago. Huge classes, lots of TAs and graders, inaccessible professors who are there to do research and see undergraduates as a hindrance and a bother. They still attract good students, which shows the importance of a great brand name, even when the reality no longer fits the image.— December 17, 2014 8:31 p.m.
White-knuckle descent
People today are apparently much easier to scare than they used to be. The most entertaining landing I ever witnessed flying into San Diego was on an American Eagle commuter flight, well before 9/11. The flight attendant got on the intercom as we were approaching Lindbergh Field, and announced in a chipper voice, "The co-pilot will be landing the plane today. He has never had a successful solo landing before, so if we make it please be sure to give him a nice round of applause." Everyone on the plane burst out laughing, and the landing was perfect.— November 5, 2014 8:05 p.m.
Gladiator outfit over the line in Hillcrest
The fact of the matter is that time and place matter. He is perfectly free to wear his gladiator outfit on Fiesta Island at next year's OTL tournament. Now if you dress a young woman up in a thong at the gay pride parade in Hillcrest, put her out there with our cheeky gladiator, and only the latter is told to cover up, then you have a story.— October 27, 2014 4:37 p.m.
U-T San Diego circulation drops
This is the strangest article I have read in a long time. It makes me simultaneously very happy and completely depressed. I hope that the UT dies a quick but painful death (at least financially painful for the owner and publisher), and out of its ashes comes a renewed Union-Tribune, owned and operated by someone other than the current pack of idiots. But make no mistake, if the UT dies there should be a murder investigation, and Doug Manchester is the sole suspect.— October 26, 2014 3:55 p.m.
Jacobs backs Tuck
Irwin Jacobs' Balboa Park plan was a rich old man's plan-- favoring his buddies who own the Prado and the valet parking concession. Because, hey, rich people need valet parking, no matter how much it screws up a dumb old historic bridge. As for his support for right wing causes like trashing teachers and supporting charter schools at the expense of public schools, with liberals like that who needs conservatives?— October 6, 2014 7:48 p.m.
For-profit college financier Clifford drops out
Great article-- thank you for writing it and exposing Mr. Clifford to a little bit of uncomfortable sunlight.— October 4, 2014 1:43 p.m.
For-profit college financier Clifford drops out
Handy con-man to English translator: "unfair and hostile attacks... by the United States government" really means, "The federal government finally wised up and stopped funneling millions of dollars of taxpayer money into my pocket via dodgy-to-fraudulent student loans."— October 3, 2014 8:44 p.m.
More Betrayal By Todd Gloria
I just stumbled across this nasty little article, and happily note that time has proved Mr. Historymatters to be a pretty rotten political analyst.— August 25, 2013 4:10 p.m.
