Citizens victors over NFL greed
Oh, well. I hoped you'd take the bait and look into the BP Ace Parking Garage scam that we're gonna have to pay millions for. But I won't creep out your thread anymore. For the moment . . .— November 16, 2016 8:19 p.m.
Citizens victors over NFL greed
First, let me add my thanks for all Don's years of devoted citizenship, hard digging, and suffering the slangs and errers of outrage's fortune. But, look--ALL gummint contracts are prizes for them what's gone along with the scheme to pick the taxpayer's pockets. Now they're giving us another broom handle in the a** with the Balboa Park Parking fiasco. Just another money laundering. Watch who gets the contracts (including Ace hole) and follow the money. They couldn't have come up with a nuttier scheme to cram another 200 cars for (what shall we say?) $100 million. They will create a creeping perennial traffic jam (talk about your air pollution that you will have to breath in as you walk alongside the jam) across the 100 year old Cabrillo bridge because of the right turn into a stream of pedestrians. But that ain't all. The out of town suckers will line up but the citizens in the know will fill up the Zoo lot; then the Zoo will start charging too, and the rest of the park will be sucked into the vortex. Then they will expand into Florida canyon, despite cries of anguish from the environmentalists that the last bit of original habitat will be sacrificed to create even more traffic jams. Ask any traffic engineer that ain't on the take. But the nonexistent "problem" of pedestrians not being able to walk in the street (El Prado), they forget the nightmare that will be created for the museums' day-to-day operational logistics--not to mention when huge trucks have to move exhibits in and out, cracking up the pretty tile paving the decorators will put in at out expense. The existing walkways' capacities have not yet been exceeded, especially along El Prado, and they never will. Who wants to go to what's left of the Museum of Man? Park the surplus (if any) on the Arizona landfill and run intra-park transportation. There's no point in the silly elevated (in cost, too) road from the bridge. Close the bridge to all but operational and handicapped traffic. Route the visitors into the the Organ Pavillion lot, and add the 200 spaces nearby where there is nothing much but grass that just sucks up water anyway. And speaking of sucking up, El Mayor wants to be El gobernador.— November 16, 2016 2:12 a.m.
Surfrider's I.B. surf contest iffy

Joan Kroc gave away Ray’s fortune
"Nobody ever went broke underestimating the taste (intelligence) of the American public." --H. L. Mencken The validity of this statement continues to be amply demonstrated, especially in this election year. I tried a 99-cent McDonald's "burger" and fries in 1955 in San Bernardino. What a ripoff! Never made that mistake again; didn't even get the "free fries" with the red star on my receipt. "Frankly, m'dears, I don't give a damn!" --Rhett Butler character in "Gone With the Wind."— November 4, 2016 10:02 p.m.
Physician's assistant brings on physician's demise
Homeostasis is the bestest. When it gets a little out of (dynamic) balance, it's probably best not to kick it around too severely, lest oscillations go off the scale. If the body can return to a normal dynamic balance, you might live a little longer and better. Or, "moderation in all things." But some things are deadly, even in small doses.

Bridgepoint over troubled waters
The accrediting organizations that keep giving these for-profit institutions the go-ahead should be investigated and in some cases shuttered. Best, Don Bauder Es todo kaka de toro--or something like that. But dig deeper. There has to be complicity in the government too. What are the totals on tax money gone and obligated for? Anybody who can't tell a horse-apple from a pippin should go to jail for bein' dum--if they can't be convicted for facilitating. Follow the money--all of it.— October 28, 2016 4:34 p.m.
