He gets 37 months for cheating government on trade
If he'd been convicted in superior court, only half of his time would've been served. With the federal government, if guidelines haven't changed then he will only receive 52 days good time for every year he serves. Good job guys. I hope the people he "taught" don't use the info he gave them. Unless they miss him and want to keep him company.— July 1, 2013 7:43 p.m.
Chalking the plank: Judge won't allow bank protester to claim first amendment rights
How much did this farce cost the taxpayers? Al least no time or money will have to be used for an appeal. Like the city attorney doesn't already look foolish enough with that dead wallaby on his head. Bank of America, hah! Not my America.— July 1, 2013 4:52 p.m.
Is it the mess or the message? City Attorney has been selective when prosecuting chalk vandalism
If convicted, it should be reversed on appeal knowing what we know now thanks to good research. Good job on that! This might be a little mean but, here I go! How can anyone trust a man who is obviously delusional or simply in denial? Jan Goldsmith looks like a store mannequin with that hairpiece on his noggin. I mean really. I could be more reasonable if he got a good hairpiece that doesn't scream, "HAIRPIECE!" maybe, but man Trump's combover is alot better and he's the world's biggest jagoff. Here's a piece of news for you balding guys,(I'm included too) do it gracefully. Grow it longer if you must fullfill the need to overcompensate, but really when its gone, it's gone baby. Everything else is just sad and pathetic. Thats right Goldsmith. I ain't no one special, I know, but you'd get my respect if you took the racoon off your head. Then with the sudden rush of oxygen in your pores, you might start working together with your Mayor to take on worthwhile issues. Or do you wear longer wigs at home? Hmmmmm.— July 1, 2013 4:34 p.m.
Protest against Egyptian leadership in Pacific Beach
Thats a protest? You've been in California too long. Most protesters at least rally ten to twenty supporters and then take it to the Federal Courthouse. Whats really going on,...at the beach?— July 1, 2013 4:13 p.m.
Sentencing delayed for man convicted of child abuse
After going through a trial, now he files the motion. The already convicted weasel is grasping at straws. That motion would fly better with a court appointed atty. Not to worry, he'll get his day and get whats coming to him in a little while longer. Denial seems to be a part of his makeup. The real wolves in the pen await him with open arms. nyuk, nyuk.— July 1, 2013 4:09 p.m.
neighborhoods/otay-mesa -- Otay Mesa
Okay, now I'm just being a hard head. Ma que cosa! Questi regatzo tene la testa dura. 'Dats a little Italian to spice up the beginning of another fruitless and audience free post. The proverbial tree has fallen in the Otay Mesa forest and I guess there's no one there to hear it. I mean the silence of course. I can see it now. "After countless blog postings spread throughout 15 years, a frustrated Otay Mesa man was found dead today the victim of a simian murder plot. According to sources, the afforementioned man had a menagerie of Wild Baboons ingeniously smuggled into the country through countless airports in the U.S. Various recent videos released by Homeland Security show the man walking through airport terminals with what was recently determined to be completely hairless,(obviously shaved) Baboons which resembled tiny old men in three piece and smartly tailored suits. He can be seen walking hand in hand with the baboons to awaiting taxis. Police won't confirm but this reporter's sources indicate that baboons don't appreciate being shaved hairless, and have been known to prefer t-shirts shorts and flip flops. In an apparent plot to escape the mans domicile, attempts were made by the baboons to shave the man and something went wrong. The simple fact that baboons do have thumbs was superseded by the fact that they aren't known for their common sense or shaving abilities. Close relatives to the deceased mentioned that the man was frustrated that nobody paid attention to his blog entries and that he was working on a plan to leave the planet via the USPS. Apparently postage was a problem. Despondent and driven to wearing nothing but old and soiled Green Lantern underoos and white Nike Airs the man could often be found wandering throughout Otay Mesa asking strangers, "Did you read my post today?" The San Diego Zoo was reached for comment but the Baboons still refuse to give formal statements due to their lack of language skills. Conjugating verbs proved too much for the baboons which at present are in the middle of an apparent hunger strike. They hate bananas opting for and often requesting "Burgers." Reports are dicey but, the man was working on an unofficial Kim and Kanye biography." Think that'll do the job? I can't see the forest for the trees.— July 1, 2013 1:52 p.m.
None
Hey FindYoshi, Otay Mesa is pretty far from golden hill. But I do love dogs, we'll keep an eye out for ah, him...her?— July 1, 2013 12:59 p.m.
Temecula offers parking for Purple Heart recipients
Good job Temecula! Seems we tend to forget the heroes that walk and live among us. Something to look into here in San Diego.— June 30, 2013 10:45 a.m.
Senate immigration bill strengthens green card financing
Maybe my problem is that everything is either black or white to me. The senate came to an amazing agreement and a historical one at that. That guy who can't even pronounce his name correctly has already dismissed the bill, drawn party lines and has begun a campaign of half truths and mostly misdirected hostility towards our president. Now I'm about to piss off alot of people but lets get down to brass tacks. Its all subconsciously driven racism. I know it, I hear it everyday on the street. But the ignorance that is racism does not allow the racist to see it for what it is. The face of illegal aliens is not the student from the UK who has overstayed his visa and is working illegally. Its simply LATINOS. We're everywhere. We mow your lawns, we cook your food at your favorite restaurants and we also pick your vegetables and fruit under deplorable conditions. And yet some subscribe to the notion that we're stealing your jobs. Bullpucky! The path to citizenship for the undocumented is going to take 13 years for the person. Thats a long time! And yes, I do think it is fair. So we compromised and attempted to assuage the fear and offered a military type surge for the border. But guess what, congress is going to be what it has been. Working for everyone else but their constituencies. The masses have got to see this for what it is and act appropriately come the next election. We've been divided by our own ignorance and our special interest driven congress. But go ahead congress, if this is what you call courting the latino vote, keep them blinders on. Just don't be surprised when the ride is over. Nos vemos muchachos.— June 29, 2013 12:49 p.m.
Hard to breathe in Barrio Logan
My younger brother lived right under the Coronado bridge for a little over a year I believe. Almost immediately the respiratory problems came up with his stepdaughter who was about four and his newborn. Besides the thousands of cars traveling back and forth overhead, the bridge is infested with thousands of pigeons. Imagine all that pigeon crap, lice and disease raining down on the complex adjacent to the "temporary" CALTRANS storage facility. Needless to say when this was brought to his attention, he moved away. All day long the screaming and shrieking of birds can be heard coming from the bridge, even as the noisy non-stop tiretreads overhead add to the cacophony. I feel for those people stuck there but have often enjoyed visiting the area. Food, art and the occasional bike race and of course Chicano park. Oh yeah, my compliments to the beautiful sugar skull makeup artist's work. Haunting beauty, isn't it?— June 29, 2013 12:19 p.m.
