Okay…we'll take Steve
As an aside, in reviewing that lovely cc tape of McCann, I would have to say that his form resembles more the cricket style than a baseball style, as he incorporated a run-up in his throw.— January 24, 2015 12:06 p.m.

Okay…we'll take Steve
anniej, the real problem is that the shadow-dwellers LOVE political dysfunction, because they then get to take advantage of all the: flailing around, ineffectual and juvenile behavior (John McCann), overweening egos (pick your pol), lack of focus on the real problems (again many from which to choose), and the manufacturing of distraction after distraction (Ed Brand). End result: a public so filled with contempt and disgust that some refuse to engage in the political process at all, some keep trying and many just say, "that's politics". But we need to keep trying, so that the shadow-dwellers, bottom-feeders and con artists don't destroy our neighborhoods, our city, our schools, and the future of all the young people we are endeavoring to bring into a world where right thinking, reason and compassion have pride of place. If we cannot convey ideals to our young people, the downward spiral is inevitable. So, again, thanks Susan, anniej, BBQ, Visduh, and the entire array of voices calling for right reason, sound fiscal policies, educational opportunities that recognize varying students needs and interests and, in general, a FUNCTIONAL city, a FUNCTIONAL school district and neighborhoods that are good places for kids to grow up and learn to be the kind of citizens this country needs.— January 21, 2015 1:20 p.m.

*ASSIGNED TOPIC FOR DISCUSSION* Brats, Rats or Bureaucrats: which are more destructive in the South Bay? Compare and contrast the concepts of "Public Good" and "Self-Interest" (do not fall into the 'enlightened self-interest' debate on this one). Move into your small groups and discuss. Class presentations on Friday, not to exceed 5 minutes per group.— January 21, 2015 12:55 p.m.

I might have known there would be a David Malcolm connection. Business as usual then?— January 20, 2015 2:52 p.m.

What are the names on all the originating documents for these schemes? I am wondering if Fast Eddy/Slick Eddy will claim statute of limitations for some of this--but if the mess has been perpetuated, I would think that means the statute of limitations hasn't even begun, much less run out. Too bad none of those involved are really interested in the public good.— January 20, 2015 1:46 p.m.
Say "uncle," Goldsmith
Truly, Goldsmith does not know when to quit. I am certain the attorneys he has hired will not be telling him to quit. Too bad he can't recognize good advice when he hears it, rather sad for him and very unfortunate for all taxpayers involved.— January 19, 2015 6:19 p.m.
Financial freedom, anyone?
Write your book, shirleyberan, but write what you know to be true. You might be surprised.— January 19, 2015 6:15 p.m.

Slightly more clear than mud. McCann's unceasing self-promotion, while not apparently a violation of the letter of the law, does IMO violate standards of ethics and good taste. But what would he know of that, as he remains either oblivious to all the wrong-doing, or was heavily complicit and just puts on an act.— January 19, 2015 11 a.m.

Righting this ship might mean something along the lines of what had to be done with the Costa Concordia. Baby, we are on the shoals.— January 18, 2015 9:45 a.m.
