Sweetwater scandal spotlight: trustee Jim Cartmill
The board sort of reminds me of those insane dictators in the mid-east. Those are real missiles overhead people! Its like, aren't they aware that they're under indictment? Why is this (alleged) felon encrusted board even conducting business when they should be stepping down? If the student body as a whole could speak, they could be heard saying, "Get off me rock! You're sinking me!" Can somebody stop them before they pardon themselves? Sheesh!— June 7, 2013 10:54 a.m.
Republicans touting April poll supporting DeMaio's Congressional bid
Ah, these crafty GOP worms are at it again. Let me see, first that other guy changed parties to get the mayor seat. Smart, but very stupid, Peters just got the seat that the other GOP stalwart, (Bilbray) couldn't lie his way into. When is this unaccessible rich man's club going to wake up? What honestly scares me is what wealthy person with, 1.Deep pockets & 2.Their own agenda, will jump at the chance to fund the run. Wake up Carl, we're tired of business as usual candidates. Okay, you did well at city hall, but we still voted in Filner, didn't we? Get a clue. But don't change parties!— June 7, 2013 10:45 a.m.
Otay Mesa: Where the bus drivers eat
Ahh Bedford, isn't it amazing what can come out of a truck? These cats have been in that spot for years now. "Dos de adobada con todo, dos de tripa con todo y dos de asada con todo por favor". The only tacos that are better, (in my opinion) are across the border. Home run Bedford! Home run.— June 5, 2013 9:21 a.m.
Little black book
You ain't gonna find this being reported on mainstream media. The seedy underground that we all know exists gets the head in the sand treatment. I'm not saying we should glorify it, just report it. A human being did a horrible and cruel thing to another. A life was lost. It doesn't matter who the person was or what they did to survive. It is sad that the disenfranchised don't even exist in the end.— June 5, 2013 9:06 a.m.
Jury: Daniel Hood did abuse his girlfriend’s child

neighborhoods/otay-mesa -- Otay Mesa
Between Otay Mesa and Chula Vista is what we locals used to call the "Riverbottom". Back in '76, us kids used to ride our bikes and motorcycles on the haphazardous trails, and swim in the ponds that weren't too polluted with cars and other harmfull debris. Now, thanks to a 9 million dollar renovation it is called the Otay River Valley Regional Park. Quite a moniker, right? Don't let that fool you. Elevated trails that never muddy up due to an engenious drainage system installed, three restrooms,(one permanent, two port a potties), parking and the gift of teeming wildlife make the park enjoyable for anyone who chooses to head down there. As you walk the trails that extend to the west by the I-5, and to the east by the 805, the keen observer can see scat from various animals and the occasional rabbit, or coyote. There are three ponds that various types of water fowl inhabit such as mudhens, and mallard ducks. If you look up, prepare for raptors in the sky. Red tailed hawks, and peregrin falcons will appear suddenly and if you're lucky you can observe them hunting and yes, even eating their prey right in front of you. In late summer when the oxygen levels go down in the adjoining ponds, the smaller fish surface for oxygen only to be scooped up by the waiting Least Terns in the sky above them. These amazing hunters momentarily hover above the water only to abruptly missile their bodies into the murky water and just as quickly, emerge with two, or three silvery glistening fish in their beaks. What a show! So get your butts down here and bring a bike, a walking stick and be prepared to be amazed. When you see the Willet Grove monument, understand that Mr. Willet has worked tirelessly to make sure this beautiful resource stays for generations to come. Thanks Mr. Willet— May 29, 2013 11:18 a.m.
Lightning strikes twice: SD Music TV robbed again
Have faith buddies. I can guarantee you that 'though they might have outsmarted the security system, they'll do something stupid and get caught. Most criminals 'though intelligent, tend to do dumb things. Somebody will see and recognize your equipment and it'll be over. Thats why most warrants are only served once. Then the authorities simply wait for the hunted to do something stupid like get a traffic ticket. Cop runs their name, and BLAM! Suddenly the main thing is to not drop the soap! Karma will make her ah, well y'know, her rounds.— May 29, 2013 10:53 a.m.
Stone Temple Pilots
Letter to Scott W. Dear Scott, Are you aware of how good you have it? Are you aware of how bad you do it? Just asking. I'm a recovering addict who would give his left arm to have your opportunities placed in front of me. You've flushed down the toilet every morning, more talent than most people will ever know or posses. Your band mates are some of the more skilled songwriters, arrangers, and musicians the industry has ever known! Don't you remember the magic? I remember the rush of the screaming, teeming, bubbling ocean of fans. That my friend, is better than any drug. Yes, I've played also and it sickens me to watch your wasted talent. My hands are slowly betraying me and you my friend are betraying yourself. Okay, lets say that the relationship between you and the STP boys ran its course. What happened to the Velvet Revolver project? I mean can't you see it? I'm a fan yes! I'm also a concerned human being that would hate to have to read of your untimely death due to your stupidity. Wake up man! Love, FatCatSegat— May 29, 2013 10:44 a.m.
Man's cell phone video is used against him
Hats off to the kid for being smarter than the piece of #@$*. I think in cases like this you can throw expectation of privacy out the window. Right? Might want to see where this stands because a good lawyer might get him out on appeal. Hope not but, thats a cold hard reality we live with due to our imperfect system of justice. I'd like to believe however, that our system is alot better than say Mexico, who doesn't believe in the adverserial procces like we do. So don't mess up in Mexico! Nice pictures! Hey Hoodie, let your soon to be neighbors on the yard see that sweet tatoo declaring you a hood. Then after they read your paperwork,(which they will get their hands on!) just wait for them to come calling. That ain't a tuna casserole they're bringing to welcome you home.— May 29, 2013 7:51 a.m.
Downtown San Diego Partnership to spend $110,000 of PBID funds on Director of Homeless Outreach
Good intentions with absolutely no desire to accomplish the difficult task at hand correctly. Guess what smart people, you've got to put more public restrooms downtown! Tell you what, lets take a short walk around the civic center complex where yes, there is already a public restroom. That ain't dog poop in those plant beds or smeared butt level on the walls. The partnership has suggestions, even demands but cant afford to man a couple new restrooms? C'mon man! How about $60,000.00 a year position to get it done, and two $25,000.00 a year spots to man these restrooms. The partnership has got the funding, the know how,(maybe). This is America's finest city. We are the sixth largest city in the country. Can we simply stop with the small town mentality and start thinking big and towards the big picture? C'mon Man!— May 29, 2013 7:38 a.m.
