Army sergeant comes back to San Diego from Afghanistan
... that she *became a citizen, excuse the typo! :)— June 18, 2010 12:04 p.m.

Thanks, Michelle. Those of us who really cared to investigate the matter, and knew what was involved from our own experience as volunteers who are involved in Park and Recreation committees, had a clear understanding of each of the issues you have described. I personally contacted the San Diego Police Officer involved in this incident, and he verified the account which you have now given. At the time, I considered posting a response which would set the record straight, but decided against it, as there are people who will not believe the plain facts when it does not jibe with their world view. As I detailed in another post, Carolyn Matteo posted a highly biased and incorrect story regarding the alcohol ban, then fabricated another identity in order to come in and praise her own work, and attack posters. In a recent story, she posted the presumed name of a poster, first the first name, then when the Reader removed that post, the full name, then when the Reader removed that post, offered to give information about that poster to anyone who contacted her through her email. This sort of abusive and vindictive harassment is clearly in violation of the TOS. It was clear to me from one of the first stories she posted that she was more trouble than she would ever be worth, falsely identifying herself as a reporter, and apologizing to officials in the City on behalf of The Reader. The Reader has indulged this woman, and it will be much to this site's detriment if they continue to do so, in my opinion.— June 18, 2010 11:56 a.m.

Never cared for Gere. Lopez is a gem of an actress. :)— June 18, 2010 9:44 a.m.
Army sergeant comes back to San Diego from Afghanistan
Good point, SurfPuppy. I do think we are managing well with an all-volunteer force, however, there was a lot to be said for the draft. And if there ever is a draft again, I would not exclude women. But I hope that day never comes. Much better for people to go in who want to go in, than to force people to serve. As for people who skate out of serving and then ride other's glory, when politicians do it, it is beyond despicable. A good friend of mine's son enlisted in the Navy, but she never brings it up. We share his doings often, and I know she feels pride, as well as worry, when he is gone. It was largely because of his service that she began a citizen. God bless them both, mother and son.— June 18, 2010 9:38 a.m.

San Diego Gay and Lesbian News, against Gay and Lesbian Times
It's peeve, not peave. It's chomp, not chompt. "Gay media competes against gay media, they don't write nor publish straight stories." "don't" and "nor," isn't that a double negative? Of course, I'm not the English major here. I don't dare correct other's spelling or grammar, sorry.— June 18, 2010 9:27 a.m.
OK ????
Oh, because it was Spam, so I said, "Where's AG???" since she's the one who always calls those kind of "blogs" out. :)— June 17, 2010 7:13 p.m.
The Early Daze, part 12
Oh Lord, now we're in for it. :) Can't wait to read the next chapter. BTW, I know what you mean about Odd Jim. It's exactly like in the movies when you see ordinary normal people dealing with someone who just seems to not quite fit in and that turns out to be the bad guy or whatever. We knew a guy who was a shoe salesman at a department store, an altar boy, he would play ball over at the fields, he had been a volunteer with the Little League. He had come over to my house once or twice (at the time I had a nephew living with me who played ball, and he was also a pal of my children's father), and yeah, I got that "little off" vibe around him. Sure enough, one day turn on the TV and there he is, doing the perp walk, busted for molesting boys at a ballfield in South Bay.— June 17, 2010 7:10 p.m.
OK ????
Well I sure hope it's better than the remake. The American movie is a dog.— June 17, 2010 6:53 p.m.
