Few visit women at Las Colinas jail
It's "Marine". Lower-case is fine if we're talking about Mexican marines or marine soldiers from anywhere else. But the USMC consists of big-M Marines.— April 10, 2013 10:01 a.m.
You're still paying fat percentage of income for your home
This just goes to illustrate the dangers of government meddling in markets. Like a heroin addict, everyone is now addicted to these artificially-low interest rates that have been propped up by the creation of vast amounts of "funny money" to fuel our trillion dollar plus budget deficits. Unfortunately, **when**, not "if", inflation starts to take hold, the answer will be the same as it was in '79-'80... forcing interest rates higher and higher. All of these people who are hooked on 3% mortgage rates to fuel their consumer spending and to barely make it paycheck-to-paycheck are going to be wiped out. And even without any other economic factors, with just a correction in interest rates we're going to see the price of houses decline. We tried to save ourselves from the popping of one bubble by blowing up another. We've done that a few times now in the last 15 years. It cannot continue. And like the drunk or junkie feels extreme pain when going into withdrawals, so will the American consumer when all that sweet, easy, cheap money is cut off.— April 10, 2013 9:53 a.m.
100% commission at Nordstrom
Retail sales isn't for everyone. You can either hack it, or you can't. Many people make darn good livings in that awful hellhole.— April 8, 2013 12:42 p.m.
Escondido: The ruling white minority
"Whites are significantly outnumbered but still dominate government. Minorities and the poor feel they are getting shortchanged politically and economically and want to wrest power from the business-friendly old boys’ network." OH TEH NOEZ, not a "business-friendly" government! The more these so-called "minorities" (which are nothing of the sort) take over, the worse things get. THIS IS NOT RACIAL, it's cultural. Anyone who moans and cries about government being too "business friendly" has a crappy culture of welfare dependency and crime and laziness and interminable poverty, no matter what color their skin. Take a look around Escondido. Look at how it's decaying. Look at the proliferation of check cashing joints, crappy strip malls, graffiti, dollar stores, etc. We need less hand-holding for that type, and more "business friendliness".— April 3, 2013 3:20 p.m.
Gun grab
“I’m not into the price-gouging. Before the tragedy, what I could buy for $6.50, now I have to pay $14.50,” Rodriguez says. “When I sold my inventory, I sold it at the regular price. To buy the inventory now, I would have to pay double. So I’m just waiting. If somebody comes in desperate enough to pay the overpriced price, I’ll order it for them.” He has a good heart, but no understanding of economics. Artificially-low prices lead to shortages, and that does nobody any favors.— April 3, 2013 3 p.m.
AT&T building still a “public nuisance” in North Park?
"AT&T can do a better job of sending someone there regularly to remove the trash" So they can get sued by the ACLU for disturbing the precious possessions of the noble between-homed individuals?— April 3, 2013 2:56 p.m.
AT&T building still a “public nuisance” in North Park?
What should AT&T do? If they roust out the fallen-down drunks and stumblebums, people will be shrieking about what a horrible, evil, heartless, soulless corporation they are.— April 3, 2013 2:54 p.m.
Fox News and Jim Carrey gum it out
I remember when Jim Carrey was funny. Now, what's funny is him spouting off about guns, while hiding behind armed bodyguards. And when I say "funny", I really mean sad, pathetic, childish, cowardly, and idiotic.— April 3, 2013 2:53 p.m.
