"The Chargers are cheap and manipulative"
Her situation of being right but not listened to is certainly the inspiration for my nom de guerre, but mutatis mutandis for the masculine form. Thanks for playing!— August 25, 2016 1:22 p.m.
"The Chargers are cheap and manipulative"
The Spanos family and those like them are rich simply because they don't pay their bills. By holding on to their money, they look good on paper and are therefore able to get things on credit they shouldn't. Meanwhile, lots of people who can't afford to are left holding many empty bags. Learned a long time ago to only work for people in 92037 and adjacent by getting a credit card or ACH in advance. Those who protest about "being trusted" are upfront telling you they're deadbeats. I wouldn't lend a Spanos my lawnmower, but people are talking about stadiums. P.T. Barnum is right as ever.— August 25, 2016 10:02 a.m.
Man struck by police cruiser gets day in court
Sigh. Looks like the Dim Reaper is going to swing and miss again.— August 23, 2016 3:55 p.m.
Revolving lobbyist
Well, we were wondering how Morris Cerullo [slipped his monster vanity project past][1] all [the community groups and planners][2]. Wonder no more. Considering that Tony Young is also [president of the board][3] of Faulconer's personal and [delinquent charity][4]/alleged money laundering scheme, One San Diego, I guess hiring him as a lobbyist can be considered the same as paying the mayor to do what you want. Morris Cerullo finally got me to pray: Please God, do something about the corrupt politics in this city!

Private summit sealed GOP mayor's Balboa Park Jacobs deal
And this only tells us about the money that has to be made public. As [I pointed out][1] here a few days ago, there's no telling how much more cash was "filtered" as donations through the mayor's [delinquent charity][2], One San Diego. Too bad our state attorney general is more concerned with getting a new job than doing the work required by her current one. Guess we're going to have to wait for the IRS to get curious.

Port District goes after parking scofflaws
I agree: there's some other reason for the Port to be doing this. They admit they already have the tools to ticket and tow offenders, so why punish everybody else? I go to Spanish Landing frequently, either to wait to pick up someone from the airport or to walk and enjoy the spectacular view of downtown and Coronado. Even with other people there, there is *always* parking available. If I have to pay and worry about a meter then I will likely not go anymore, and likely won't be the only one. Then you really won't see "a single child or family playing in the park."— August 5, 2016 12:25 p.m.
San Diego’s pension investments tied to luxury trips?
Did Hamrick recommend *any* investments that *didn't* involve a private junket? And two-thirds of them are clunkers? Criminy, don't let her near a casino or a carnival: they can also spot a mark a mile away.— August 3, 2016 10:55 a.m.
Steady as she goes on proposed Balboa Park project
So *very cozy* at the top. I would suggest Dorian next ask to see the list of donors to Faulconer's "One San Diego" (alleged) front for campaign contribution laundering, to see if KCM Group folks donated more than the $1,600 for his campaign or the $1,250 for flunky candidate Anthony Bernal that they declared at http://nf4.netfile.com/pub2/Search.aspx. Searching for the name "Jacobs" could prove instructive as well. But alas, One San Diego hasn't filed any taxes or other documents with the CA Attorney General since its founding almost two years ago. Would the recent primary have ended differently if the little people knew of yet another way that The Great Bland Hope was breaking the law? http://www.sandiegoreader.com/users/photos/2016/a…— August 1, 2016 9:05 p.m.
Amidst Jacobs family crack-ups, can charity prevail?
The point of the article is that personal fortunes are relevant to the charitable and/or civic commitments the individual Jacobs make. Now Jacobs, père, "leaves others to fund [his $45M] plaza project," http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/2016/jul…. It's simply too much to ask that we have him spend any more money on his vanity project, after he has already spent so much on lawyers and Faulconer's election and greenmailing local Democrats to go along. We *owe it to him* to make his dreams come true. So if and when any of them get tired of their shiny toys, it is reasonable to ask who has to keep paying the installments on them.— July 15, 2016 11:33 a.m.
Judge admonishes city attorney's office over Filner case
"Frankly, the city's effort...does not reflect well on the judgement of the city attorney's office." Kindest summary of 'Jackass Jan' Goldsmith's record in office I've ever read. I'm sure he'll be punished by getting elected to higher office. In San Diego, we only hold back the honest and competent.— July 9, 2016 11:01 a.m.
