San Diego wins one
It's about damn time the 3 mouseketeers finally did something. Almost 2 years into their terms is quite long enough to show some balls. That said, time will tell if this is a portent of things to come or only a one off because one of their own got caught with his hand in the cookie jar, so to speak.— December 20, 2012 9:46 p.m.
No icky girls in George Lucas's Star Wars
Also, here's a 2009 pic. Looks like she's lost weight since then. Must have been the Jenny Craig gig. http://sandiegoreader.com/users/photos/2012/dec/2…— December 20, 2012 9:38 p.m.

Yeah, I don't know so much about that pic in the story. Wishful Drinking is the memoir she wrote about 5 yrs ago. It came out of a 1 woman show she was doing. We saw it and she didn't look anything like that. Also, she was in a show on the Hallmark channel just before Thanksgiving and again, she didn't look anything like that. Here's a promo pic for the show, which is on again on Christmas eve, I think. http://sandiegoreader.com/users/photos/2012/dec/2…— December 20, 2012 9:35 p.m.
You will get hoodwinked on San Diego stadium costs
Well, why don't you show us just one single report that says different. The agreement has been signed, sealed and delivered. Funding the Vikings at $477 million, the state at $348 million and the city of Minneapolis for $150 million. The Vikings will use revenue from PSL's as part of their funding.— December 12, 2012 9:58 a.m.

Before the 2003 renovation, in the late 90's if I remember, the idea was floated of replacing Lambeau. In essence, the "owners" of the Packers were being asked to tax themselves into oblivion in order to build the new stadium. The Idea went down in flames. The 2000 1/2 percent sales tax increase was an incredibly controversial issue and I think it passed at something like a 53 or 54 percent vote. Not exactly a resounding victory, but a victory none the less.— December 12, 2012 9:37 a.m.

Then I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree. It's about personal responsibility, or lack there of. I don't care how much money is spent, if someone makes the wrong vote because they don't take the time, or simply don't care enough to look into that "story" and find out the truth, they they have no one to blame but themselves. Would you blame the money if you were hoodwinked? Or would you own up and say that it was your responsibility because you didn't spend enough time looking into the particular issue yourself? It doesn't matter if it's a stadium, a mayoral election or a national election. Seems to me that the hundreds of millions, probably more like billions, spent by outside sources to defeat Obama and the Dems in general didn't really do much. Perhaps people are just more selective when it comes to a national vote than they are when it comes to how their tax dollars are spent.— December 12, 2012 9:22 a.m.

If you have seen data for the NFL only, then how would it be possible for you to state that those data are consistent with other sports. Perhaps you could post the actual data listed in the book for the 4 major league sports.— December 11, 2012 2:58 p.m.

"in any such election, the team outspends opponents by 100 to 1 or more" I'm sorry, but I don't care how much money is spent. If some votes for anything based solely on what they see on tv or read in an editorial or on a bill board without doing any independent analysis or thinking then yes, they deserve what they get. Frame it like this. If you vote on something because of what you read, saw or heard, without any personal research, and then found out you were scammed, how is that not your fault? You pulled the lever or punched the tab.— December 11, 2012 2:52 p.m.

About $300 million was spent on renovating Lambeau about 10 yrs ago. Most of that money cam from a .5% sales tax increase. Last year they spent about almost another $150 million on renovating the south and north end zones and adding 2 new video boards. This time the packers paid for it themselves. Add that to the sky boxes added during the late 80's-early 90's and Lambeau is in good shape for a long time. That said, if they wanted a new stadium, it seems they would do what everyone else does, either borrow money or get the taxpayers to foot the bill. I don't see the Packers being publicly owned making much difference— December 11, 2012 2:29 p.m.
