Report: Tony Robbins buys $25 million home in Palm Beach
Robbins is probably moving from California to Florida like Phil Mickelstiff to cut his taxes. Robbins is a wool merchant who earns his living fleecing his flock. Robbins had to shear a lot of sheep to earn $25 million to buy that house.— April 20, 2013 11:24 a.m.
Tech grads: job search will worsen dramatically if immigration bill passes
I searched my dentist on the internet and found that he hired two employees on H-1B visas. I filed for a H-1B visa permit because I can't find a gardner who will cut my grass for less than $30.— April 19, 2013 9:17 p.m.
Do "speak no evil" obits inform readers?
Red Scott was a very good inspirational speaker, a glib conversationalist, a writer of motivational words of wisdom, a man of insatiable energy. Don Bauder It sounds as though Scott was a bullsheet artist of the first order.— April 15, 2013 7:26 p.m.
David Copley's "Foxhole" mansion on sale for $7.95 million
They posted 24 images of the estate at La Jolla Patch. The estate reflects the tastes of a true vulgarian. Some of the rooms show signs of cigarette smoke damage. He probably smoked right up to the end. http://lajolla.patch.com/articles/david-copley-s-…— April 13, 2013 5:43 p.m.
David Copley's "Foxhole" mansion on sale for $7.95 million
According to an earlier article in the Reader, Foxhole is located at 1274 Virginia Way, La Jolla, CA. I located Foxhole on Google Maps Street View. There's also an alley behind Foxhole which is also accessible through Street View. It appears that Copley took as many as four pre-existing houses on separate lots and physically connected them into one large residence. Then, Copley built large structures at the rear of the each property and connected them to the main "residence" with a pool in the middle. I don't think anyone who could afford Foxhole would want to live in a house like that. I think Foxhole will sell for the value of the land only. I don't think anyone will pay $7 million for Foxhole, because it is not located on the ocean and lacks an ocean view. A developer will buy Foxhole, raze the residence, and erect condos. With an alley running behind Foxhole for parking access, it would be ideal for condos or apartments.— April 12, 2013 11:51 a.m.
Papa Doug's son says he is for same-sex marriage

Payment for Illumina's patent suit loss one of nation's largest
If Twister lost money in non-traded REITs peddled by LPL, his only option for recovery appears to be filing an arbitration claim with FINRA. He will probably need a lawyer. Under the terms of his customer agreement he almost certainly agreed not to sue LPL. Any claims must be settled through arbitration. That's why LPL will likely never face a class action lawsuit over non-traded REITs.— March 16, 2013 10:03 p.m.
Caterer sentenced for tax evasion
White collar criminals always get the light touch. A crime of this magnitude warrants at least 5 years in prison. Those of us who line up like sheep each year to pay our taxes should be outraged at this ridiculous sentence. Any judge who would hand out a light sentence for a serious crime like this should be off the bench. This is a joke, not a sentence. Judge Sammartino is a Bush (league) appointee. http://judgepedia.org/index.php/Janis_Sammartino— March 15, 2013 4:54 p.m.
Former law colleagues of judge in moguls' case against Filner gave big money to DeMaio
It appears that the power elite put this hack into judge's robes, and then steered the case to him so he could throw it out. He'll probably be rewarded later with a Federal judgeship or court of appeals appointment, so he can double dip with a state pension and a Federal salary.— March 15, 2013 11:06 a.m.
