Jack sued by Michael Shames!
Aside from the fact that this guy should spell his last name "Shams," Visduh still eats burgers with cheese from Jack and, elsewhere, uses the quaint phrase "maiden name?" Don Bauder feminizes Greed as a "bitch-goddess?" Where are we -- back in the '50's?— June 28, 2014 3:26 p.m.
Faulconer’s wife: master of cops and conventions
Oh Visduh, your generation is showing. Mrs. Faulconer uses her own name because why would any woman change something as integral to her identity as her birth-name? And if it's not her birth-name, aka "maiden name," then she really IS trying to hide something -- and that would be wrong, as I think Dick Nixon used to say while lying through his teeth.— June 27, 2014 1:05 p.m.
Pension settlement pending
Whoa, that's some settlement, coming as it does after years of higher pension benefits. Last time I heard the name of former firefighters' union executive director Ron Saathoff, he was working as a "consultant" and opining on KPBS. Sure beats going to jail.— June 26, 2014 6:40 p.m.
Faulconer’s wife: master of cops and conventions
That guy is a security guard? Fooled me: he looks like he runs the chess club. Also, conflict of interest? How about highway robbery, as in the $3 million heist of taxpayer dollars by Mayor Sanders' Balboa Park Centennial Committee (made up of lobbyists and former employees.)— June 26, 2014 6:29 p.m.
Papa Doug digs Obama’s pond scum
Money makes the world go 'round. Barbara Boxer, Brian Bilbray and Darryl Issa -- feeding from the same trough. Doug Manchester hires right-wing plug-in writers funded by the Koch Brothers. But even U-T editor Jeff Light orders (or lives with the Lynch-order) for this kind of hiding and lying? It is breathtaking.— June 24, 2014 2:19 p.m.
Video of CHP officers confronting Mike Aguirre
I'm calling my broker now. Intrepid attorney Mike Aguirre makes a strong case here for investment in SoCalEdison/SDGE which 1) gets fabulous returns for its shareholders by screwing ratepayers; 2) for colluding with the California Public Utilities Commission whose chairman is a former industry lobbyist; and 3) for secret payoffs to so-called watchdog agencies like Friends of the Earth, UCAN and TURN to guarantee their acquiescence in a settlement over the failure and closure of San Onofre Nuclear Power Station. (Nice video, Ace Hoffman.)— June 24, 2014 1:51 p.m.

Aguirre confronted by CHP
Great video by Ace Hoffman showing intrepid attorney Mike Aguirre making a strong case for investing in SoCalEdison/SDG&E which gets fabulous rates of return for its shareholders by screwing ratepayers; for colluding with the State Public Utilities Commission whose chairman is a lobbyist; and for secret payoffs to alleged "watchdog" agencies like TURN and Friends of the Earth and UCAN. I'm calling my broker now.— June 24, 2014 1:39 p.m.
Audit calls out sexual harassment at SDSU
Sexually active youth using drugs and alcohol in the absence of authoritative supervision and sexually savvy students in provocative contact with codger-y profs of both sexes lead to what is being codified these days as "sexual harassment" on college campuses. All the rules and regs and support services in the world will not be able to untie the gordian knot of self-indulgent, calculating, exploitive and/or ignorant behaviors that define this "problem." How ironic that SDSU/KPBS jumped on last year's bandwagon to destroy grab-ass Mayor Bob Filner while the same institutions silently tolerate an arguably much more dangerous climate for potential sexual violence on its campus full of vulnerable young people.— June 24, 2014 1:12 p.m.
Eshoo won't be eschewed by Qualcomm
Qualcomm may have been founded by a so-called Democrat, but in maturity it is being run by Irwin Jacobs and his progeny as a pay-to-play conservative Big Business when it gives almost three-quarters of a million dollars in one year to the political action committees of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and Business Roundtable. For example, nationally the U.S. Chamber has poured money into numerous states' judicial races where sitting judges may have ruled against particular business interests. That's not pay-to-play: that would be called punitive payback.— June 21, 2014 12:37 p.m.
