Last week we pointed out that the La Mesa Spring Valley School District has an unfunded liability for retiree health care of almost $24,000,000. That amount of money should have been set aside to pay for promises to provide for …

Pressure. Pressure. And more pressure. Daily pressure. Hourly pressure. I forgot what it was like to be plugged in to the world. I have been in a cabin in the woods of the Cuyamaca Mountains for almost four years with …

Thank you so much for exposing us to your work, your life, even your wife. One time, I met you both and when I commented on her interesting hair color, she said that you had created it and it was …

Well, here I am at 74 years and counting, and I'm still trying to figure out what my main beliefs are about life! I've had many opinions, countless assumptions, a handful of theories, lots of judgments, baseless conclusions, and a …

The La Mesa Citizen Oversight Group strongly advocates that public sector governing bodies practice sound financial management. Among other things that means paying for current services with current revenues. It is far too easy for public officials, when money is …

In the 2008 election I voted for 19-year-old Evan Delaney Rodgers for the Carlsbad City Council. I was sad to see her lose because of the youthful energy and positive attitude she would have brought to that gang of mostly …

We have 13 victims people! This is an outrage! No one can stay in office after 13 women have accused them of sexual misconduct. There is no need to investigate these claims on their own merit because the sheer volume …

There are so many reasons to travel. Of course, the obvious ones are ever present. To experience a new culture, scenery, food, nightlife, and everything else that matters. It’s almost like going to an alternate universe. While some might enjoy …

Yea! It's breakfast time, and I can hardly wait! I love this time of day, when Mommy feeds me my munchies-spinach, hay and carrots. They're so delicious! Here comes Mommy now. I can see that she is digging around in …

We'll skip the "Innocent until..." and reaffirm that uninvited advances - sexual or not - are not acceptable. It matters not who the perpetrator or who the victim. Behavior like that is simply not acceptable. In the United Church of …

The Filner bashing in the MSM has been deafening, but to people who have been paying attention we have seen that this recall effort was in the works long before any allegations of sexual misconduct emerged. November 6, 2012: Filner …

Now that the Story of Rock 'N' Roll Comics documentary has had a successful DVD release courtesy of Wild Eye Releasing, I've been compiling my various Reader articles about the Hillcrest-based comics I used to help produce, for an upcoming …

Glad to see someone at www.californiacriminallawyerblog.com has a good handle on the absurd hypocrisy of City Attorney Jan Goldsmith in his crusade to force Filner to pay his own attorney's fees in his effort to defend accusations of sexual harassment. …

In day 20 of San Diego's most sexless sex scandal in political history, yet another accuser has stepped forward to call the San Diego sheriff's hotline (which has to be a national laughing stock at this point) and make an …

By the beginning of June, classes were over at the two colleges where I teach part time; one was actually over a bit before that. For many years I taught summer sessions in the evening at one of them. This …

What a nice day! Perfect in every way! As I munch on my spinach leaves, I spy my bird friends frolicking outside the back door. They look so happy, flapping their wings and pecking at the ground-I wish I could …

Both the City and School District of Coronado have refused to comply with State and Federal Laws regulating Public Record Requests. Both Agencies have refused to release the Monthly Bank Statements showing the Checks issued and Deposits processed through the …

When you follow the money behind the "recall Filner" campaign the results are chilling. The trail leads to Michael Pallamary, a prominent "land use expert". He has been the big voice behind the campaign to recall Mayor Filner which began …

I was observing Todd Gloria's Twitter feed yesterday (BTW he has somehow managed to block me on Twitter as well as Facebook), and I saw a very curious post. He posted a photo of him and ex-mayor and developer champion …

Now that we have 7 accusers the narrative in the MSM is insinuating that there is no need for due process. The sheer volume of accusers is enough to demand Mayor Filner resign. But we have to just take a …
