What offends most Mr. Bauder, is the trust and confidence we put in these charlatans who claim they act in our defense by notifying us on what is really going on as they perform their slight of hand only to bring their hypocrisy to light. Really, who do we trust? Whom do we turn to without worrying if they really are concerned about our plight? History unfortunately has proven time and time again that the deception will always win over the truth. Woe unto you who makes all the evil in the world right and all the good, evil. Do the math, sit down, place your heads between your legs and kiss your asses goodbye! Paraphrased but, pulled from the pages of this week's Reader. What we support and approve of because of our enlightenment in this age only proves and demonstrates our distance from our creator. We swear that we are an advanced civilization accepting the behavior that has always been deemed evil. The laws of God haven't changed! Only our morality has. Less than five hundred years ago, merchants were the scourge of the earth, slightly higher in value than musicians and lepers. Today, animals like Trump and Turner are admired and even worshipped. Even as they act only to fill their pockets and to fulfill their personal agendas These days, the horrible truth perpetuates on as us 99%ers deal with the hard facts and create subversive movements, get arrested, become a part of the system and eventually come face to face with the puppets of corporate america only to deal with whatever punishment their system allows. When does it stop? How long you been out?— October 23, 2012 12:14 a.m.
Breakfast at Stephanie's
*Been there, worked there, and promptly left there!* The Turkey, Avocado, Bacon on croissant is the only thing worth a mention there. The rest is garbage.... I felt I should come clean, and thats why you should go to a place that respects you as a customer. And really, shouldn't a place called "Breakfast at Stephanie's", well, you know, shouldn't it have a lot of breakfasts? Theres my review! Tell me what you think. Or is it just me?— October 22, 2012 5:21 p.m.
More Chula Vistans Gather to Fight Lake Pointe Project
You reap what you sow. Years ago when I would return home to San Diego I would try and identify where we were at any given moment after we cleared the desert floor. First the Lagunas and eventually east county. Let me tell you that the moment I clear the Lagunas now, all I see is the "Chula Vista sprawl" Now the residents are offended by another lego block addition to the aberration they live in? Should've thought about that sooner. Wait, are the fat cats at the end of the development decrying foul? Hey San Diego, if you haven't been there just take the I-5 to H street and go east. When you get to the end of East H or Proctor Valley road take a look at those lots on the left and tell me what you really think is going on. The wealthy are trying to put a stop to the monster they happily and greedily bought into. Again the 1%ers are trying to get their way. Lets hope they crash and burn. But you know they won't. The seeds of devisiveness continue to flourish.— October 22, 2012 4:49 p.m.
UCAN: Misspelled Accounts Add Up
Shame on you Mr. Shames! What was all that grandstanding in front of the cameras about? Maybe shame on me for trusting another public figure to use our fears and concerns only to end up like all the money grubbing bastards who tell us they work for us while only nurturing their greedy needs to be the richest merchant on the block? A wolf in sheep's..., well, you know. If you only knew what you're teaching the borderliners who teeter on the fence of good and evil. Let me tell you something! You will answer for your deeds. The forces of karma have been accelerated by your actions! Do us all a favor 'though. When your life is in turmoil and your actions have led you to to the edge of the abyss, don't you dare look up and ask, "Why is this happening to me?" Live long,.......and suffer.— October 22, 2012 4:34 p.m.
Jury declares woman guilty of three DUI manslaughters
So many wasted lives. Intent is a legalese word that in this case is moot. Sure, she was too inebriated to make a wise decision. Unfortunately that means nothing when innocent lives are taken and thrown away like discarded rags. Defendant Sumi has committed the most horrible life changing decision which led to many lives being affected and traumatized. I wish I could find my soap box but I'm only filled with sorrow knowing what lies in store for all affected by this senseless tragedy. Look up! Try to find some sense in this.— October 22, 2012 4:16 p.m.
Farewell to a legend: Gloria Penner
Damn! Just heard about her passing today. My favorite station in the city will never be the same without Ms. Penner. Her interviews on both the radio and television were always informative and her soothing voice always made me feel as if I was talking to family. My thoughts and prayers go out to her close ones. God bless you Gloria.— October 7, 2012 6:57 p.m.
SD Gas Prices Soar Past 94-Year Record
And you're surprised? C'mon people! Can't you see it coming? Do you really think that its going to get better? Its not! Look around you. Young, ignorant, and emotionally damaged results of our overindulgence are out there running the streets. They're also gonna be in charge of it all. All we've taught them is that money is everything. We're nothing more than a pathetic money hungry culture of merchants who've singlehandedly wreaked havoc on the world trying to sate the unquenchable thirst of greed that began when Columbus landed on san salvador back in 1492 when the now polluted oceans were in fact blue. (According to the infamous rhyme we were all brought up on to remind us when he sailed off from Espana) Oh,by the way, this is me being positive! As a student of history who has actually paid attention to the patterns we've set in motion, I'd say its just about over for our present civilization. Care to respond to that? C'mon people, lets get real! I want a hug and a bit of positive reassurance now and then too. I somehow hold deep in my heart that one day the madness will all stop. I swear by all that is holy to me that I would gladly give my life to change it all but, the wheels are all in motion and they've gained too much speed to slow "progress" down. Get the ones you love closer and try to mend those fences to get the lost ones closer. Love each other, and appreciate individuality. Most of all, just love each other!— October 6, 2012 3:17 p.m.
Brew House at Eastlake Closes — Why?
Now I understand why the owner was so eager to turn away business so easily. Turns out my brother and at least seven of his well deserving employees were out on a friday afternoon lunch and happened to come into the establishment of note. Being that the boss was surely going to pick up the tab, the mood was lighthearted and maybe a bit boisterous. Apparently the owner/manager/person, took offense to the boys and threw them out. Eight multiplied by an average of fifteen? Do the math. Business is business bruddah! Chances are that when they were turned away, the head garbanzo pretty much knew it was over. Should have stayed home and let the servers get a big tip. But no!.......— October 5, 2012 6:08 p.m.
Cuatro Milpas: Love the smell of lard-fried tacos in the morning
Can only say that the first time I experienced the magic, about 20 years ago after living in San Diego since '74, I was sold and have done everything possible to educate the ignorant masses ever since. What about the basic rice and beans that totally stand on their own, eh? Chingoneria de comida corrida!— September 27, 2012 12:16 a.m.
John Brizzolara’s Last Column
Wha?!... you're leaving? I know you've put yourself through quite alot the past few years,[which I totally understand!] and I assume that like most impulsive journalists, you've traveled along the path of discovery under the guise of research. Your self imposed path of destruction has been inspirational and perversely informative. At times I've wanted you gone from print asking myself why we were privy to your downfalls and intentional stumblings. Well, as a recovering addict, I get it now. Your health comes first as I'm beginning to understand now. Have some more fun with yourself and I'll always read anything you've got! Peace Out Mah ninja!— March 26, 2012 8:32 a.m.
