Dad works in Hollywood – I was a Ninja Turtles baby
I think you'd be suprised, surfpuppy619. I'd wager there are more larger parcels than you think. On the west side many of the parcels are smaller and the building is denser there. Although there is a 16 acre parcel, but it's not residential, it's a vineyard. It seems that most of the parcels east of BACC are larger. There are some in upper Bel Air that are pretty big too, but they might not actually be considered Bel Air— April 7, 2011 4:07 p.m.

Actually, unless she has changed jobs sinc December, she works for GRC, General Revenue Corporation, a collection agency that is a subsidiary of Sallie Mae. And while that means Sallie Mae "controls" GRC, legally speaking, it's a separate entity. Not that it makes any difference, really.— April 7, 2011 12:37 p.m.
San Diego mayor says deficit is $56.7 million; group says $130 million.
Actually, as much as I have enjoyed, some of Waldie's writings over the years, your version is not exactly accurate. Waldie is not the one who came up with either the figures or the questions asked. The actually came from City Councilman Bill Rosendahl. They were in what seems to be a now pretty widely circulated document that was initially sent to the Deputy Mayor and the other city council members. You should be able to find it or references to it somewhere on Citywatch, which is one of the places I read about it probably a month ago. I've also read that it is $260 million in bonds, not $445 million, but I could be incorrect. I don't know if any stadium will be built in LA, but I would say the odds are that there's a better chance that happens than the chances of the Chargers staying in San Diego.— April 7, 2011 9:42 a.m.

Actually, the Kirkeby Estate is now the Perenchio Estate. It's owned by a billionaire named Jerry Perenchio. I read something about him after Liz Taylor died. He was her agent at one time. He also handled Brando. I think he bought the mansion around 85-86. When he and his wife did an extensive remodel, the got rid of the gate and moved the entrance. You actually don't enter from an access road to the west. The main entrance to the estate is on the north east part of the property about 50 yds south of where Bel Air Road and Nimes road meet, hence the new address, 875 Nimes Road. I think the parcel is 9 or 10 acres and I believe it is the largest privately owned parcel in Bel Air. Perenchio is also supposed to be the largest property owner in Malibu. BTW Grace Kelly was in High Society; it was her last movie.— April 7, 2011 12:32 a.m.

Well, actually she works for a company that is owned by Sallie Mae. According to what Boehner says, she was working there before Sallie Mae bought the company about 10 yrs ago. Of course at the time, he was also chairman of the House Committee on Education and Labor and Sallie Mae was one of his biggest campaign contributors, so you can draw your own conclusions.— April 6, 2011 11:38 p.m.
Two U.S. Citizens Shot While Waiting at Border
According to their employer, they moved into Mexico because they wanted to live at the beach and couldn't afford to north of the border. The article I read said the only relatives they have in Mexico are the 2 sons of the older one. Having someone walk up to a vehicle at 2:30 in the morning and kill the 2 people in it doesn't sound random to me.— April 6, 2011 10:24 a.m.

Actually, this isn't from me. It was in reference to a couple of people who referred to President Kennedy in their posts. For some reason the following lines did not post: John F. Kennedy, Nov. 20, 1962, president's news conference. "Lower rates of taxation will stimulate economic activity and so raise the levels of personal and corporate income as to yield within a few years an increased – not a reduced – flow of revenues to the federal government." John F. Kennedy, Jan. 17, 1963, annual budget message to the Congress, fiscal year 1964— April 3, 2011 2:33 p.m.

It is a paradoxical truth, that tax rates are too high today, and tax revenues are to low and the soundest way to raise revenues, in the long run, is to cut taxes… Cutting taxes now is not to incur a budget deficit, but to achieve the more prosperous, expanding economy which can bring a budget surplus.— April 3, 2011 8:39 a.m.
