Mess With the Bull, Get the Horns
I heard over the weekend, that in Yellowstone National Park, a 12-year-old boy was injured after a bison he was posing near for a photo, flipped him into the air. The Pennsylvania boy was only a few feet from the …
House of Blues Gave Me the Blues
I haven't heard that Steve Poltz song in years. I think it's called "Me and Eddie Vedder," where he talks about the cool way for rock stars to die. What a great tune. That has nothing to to with todays …
Crowd Control
I went to a Padres game last weekend. My first game in about a year and a half. It's strange, because I go to so many concerts, that I had to make a comparison on the crowds (and this isn't …
Under the Covers
It's weird. I've said this before. I can blog about something like the legal system. Or child abuse. And a few people comment. Yet, I do a list of the best comedians and that's where I get the most comments. …
Dumb Imus (race relations and the NFL)
I've never liked Don Imus. Mostly because he's a horrible DJ. I think when radio started, you needed to have a good voice. Has anyone listened to this dude? It sounds like he has a mouth full of marbles. And, …

The start of demolition: Smell You Later
Almost as soon as the first of the buried underground pipe was being uncovered at the old Encanto Gas Holder facility, the complaints started coming in about the noise and dust. The San Diego County Air Pollution Control District (APCD) …
The Biggest Waste of Money Ever
I heard this story a few weeks ago. But, when I saw the actual photo in the L.A. Times...well, a picture really is worth a thousand words. In an auction, a record was broken for a painting that sold by …

Rapper's Delight (when they diss others)

50 Cent, Britney Spears, and Axl Rose (hey, this sounds like a Jay Sanford blog)
Well, about a month ago...Dr. Pepper decided to have some fun with Axl Rose. I say Axl Rose. Everyone else calls them Guns 'N Roses. I can't really call them that. I mean, that band had Slash, Duff, and all …
How Far Would You Travel For a Concert?
Maybe I'll ask this as an Off the Cuff question. I dunno. I seem to end up asking a lot of music questions though. My friend Doug called me from Coloroda tonight. He flew there to see Robert Plant/Allison Krause, …
100 Greatest Stand-Up Comics Ever
I hate when David Letterman does a Top 10 list, and I can think of 3 or 4 things that would've been funnier. I hate when AFI releases a list of the best comedies, and I don't agree with the …
You Can't Hide Your Pryin' Eyes
I bought a birthday card for my friend Judy, a liberal lawyer. One of the few hardcore liberals I can actually stand. Oh, except when she tells me about the money and volunteering she does for the ACLU, an organization …
