Ryan Leaf in state prison
It's really tempting to gloat...I remember the fawning over-the-top coverage of Leaf at the time, and was disgusted. That he then went on to perform so badly at his job, while acting like a spoiled jerk, gave me great shadenfreude. But now it's beyond that...here is a young man who was created and then destroyed by football. Like Junior Seau, this is a tragedy. Unlike Seau, there's still a chance to save this guy's life. So I ask where are all the football fans, the team owners, the sportswriters? What are they doing to help this guy? Prison isn't the answer. He's going to come out worse than he went in. Criminalizing addiction makes no sense whatsoever, and now that he's been thrown out of treatment, it seems everyone has given up on him. Those who claim to love the game of football have a responsibility here. This tragedy is the creation of the fans, owners, sportswriters...if he ends up dead, there's blood on their hands.— January 19, 2013 11:54 p.m.

And we cannot forget her conclusion that the poor woman who was bound hand and foot and then hung had actually committed suicide... Dumanis and her office is evil. Plain and simple. They frame innocent people for murder, and proclaim obvious murders to be suicides...while using the SWAT team to bust medical marijuana collectives. Ideology is blinding these prosecutors from reality, causing them to commit gross injustices...the opposite of what they are supposed to be doing. I happen to have met and worked with Godwin himself, and I'm sure even he would approve of my calling this situation alarmingly "fascist".— January 19, 2013 11:40 p.m.
Filner can veto port nominations, city attorney memo says
Matt, could you use your super-reporter record-sleuthing skills to find out how many former UT writers now work for the city or county? Gerry Braun's case is particularly interesting/egregious. Now that Sanders is no longer banning the Reader from city hall, can we find out what Braun ever did for his $145k salary?— January 19, 2013 11:12 p.m.
San Diego Central Library's moving daze
That is a very ugly building.— January 19, 2013 11:06 p.m.
Sweetwater U partnership opposed by Freedom from Religion
Amazing. This district is in need of a complete change of administration. This is solely a money making move, charging higher fees than the local community college for substandard "Christian" education. What is religious fanatic and anti-education political prostitute McCann's role in this fiasco?— January 19, 2013 11:05 p.m.

Duffy and Dumanis both need to go...neither one gives a rat's posterior about justice. They're politicians who build their careers by destroying lives of others. From over-charging to force plea deals, going after their political enemies while ignoring blatant corruption amongst their friends, and refusing to ever prosecute even the most abusive police, they are reflective of the collapse of America's justice system.— January 18, 2013 3:48 a.m.
Guns: Meese warns Obama could be impeached
Reagan freaked out as Governor when members of the Black Panthers showed up armed, asserting their 2nd Amendment rights at the State Capital building. He became an eager gun controller immediately thereafter.— January 18, 2013 3:35 a.m.
Guns: Meese warns Obama could be impeached
Actually Don, the history of the 2nd Amendment is quite interesting: http://truth-out.org/news/item/13890-the-second-a… http://www.saf.org/LawReviews/Bogus2.htm How can Meese be a "Constitutional Scholar" and know nothing of this?— January 18, 2013 3:33 a.m.
Cosplayers don't like the Reader writer coming in costume
Jay, I agree. It wasn't a fan article, or a research article, it was an impressionistic article. Not my favorite style of reporting, but when done well it's highly readable. I also agree that it would be interesting to read something in the Reader about Steam Punk...a good friend of mine, who's a professional astronomer, just came back from a steam punk convention and I'm envious. Plus, you gotta love these two videos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fiRPBCiJg2c and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0iRTB-FTMdk— January 16, 2013 7:58 a.m.
Seau suffered from disease caused by hits
Twister, unfortunately when we thoughtful people do stand up we get death threats or worse...maybe someday the fanatics will come to their senses and realize how they're being used, but until then it's quite dangerous politically and personally to oppose the pro-sports thugs.— January 16, 2013 7:40 a.m.
