Two Congressmen Say Citigroup Shouldn't Pay NY Mets $400 Million for Naming Rights When Sucking $350 Billion from Federal Government
Lets see now....$8 TRILLION+ IN FREE MONEY FOR THE MORONS THAT CREATED THIS MESS......; $400 BILLION in Wall Street "retention" bounses (as if there are millions of other jobs today for Wall Street brokers!), $50 million for a corporate jet, and now $400 million for "naming rights"...., and you WONDER WHY THE TAXPAYING PUBLIC IS FEED UP WITH THE GOV. Someone needs to line these financial CEO's up and put them out of OUR misery. Next could be the Congress.— January 30, 2009 5:48 p.m.

My point, there are steps that can be taken, and solutions negotiated, where all parties come together for good. ================================== And what you fail to understand, or just flat out ignore, is that public unions do NOT "come together for the good", if they did Vallejo would not have had to file BK.— January 30, 2009 1:03 p.m.

San Diego City Attorney Jan Goldsmith fires John Serrano after Brown Field dust-up
As far as I'm concerned, a little civil action "in the public interest" goes a long way to forgiving a longer personal history of not voting at all. By a2zresource ============================ That's what Randall Harold "Duke" Cunningham said when he ran for Congress (1988??) and it came out he had never in his life voted.— January 30, 2009 8:54 a.m.

All in all, it's the fault of the voters. We're the ones who keep electing these crooks. By realnews ================================== I dont buy that. The good people cannot compete in our system today because it is built around money, and to get the money (if you're not independantly wealthy-a la H. Ross Perot) you have to take contributions, and then to stay in office you need to pay back those contributions. The public employee unions have nailed that method of operation down to the T with the Democrats ( of which I used to be a life long member). Until the big campaign cash is taken out of the system there is nothing the voters can do-big money will just buy legislatures and elections. We have 535 legislators in DC, and 42,000 lobbyists-what does that tell you. A good example of this would be the 4 initatives Arnold ran in 2005 to basically fix the problems we are now faced with, and the public unions doubled and tripled their union dues to crush those modest changes to improve the state. When you have public unions essentially running government through monetary means, then you have reached a point where we no longer have a democrocy. The city, the county, the state-they're caving in from these abuses.— January 29, 2009 9:31 p.m.

So our only choices are a crazy overly litigious troublemaker, or an establishment sleazeball in the pockets of the monied elite? What's the solution? By rickeysays 4:51 p.m =============================== Ill go with the "crazy overly litigious troublemaker".— January 29, 2009 5:55 p.m.

Tell me mr vegas, did your mommy catch you doing something you shouldn'tbe doing when you were young?? Or was it your wife?? Is that why you hate yourself so much?? By jimmysjohnson ===================== LOL......our second "gimmick" account in this thread alone, by one of the local welfare queens no doubt. Just registered today and this is his first post! Big surprise.— January 28, 2009 9:44 p.m.

You say you're a great lawyer who's argued before the Supreme Court. ============================ As usual JF is making up more whoppers-I have never said I argued anything before the Supreme Court. As usual you mis-state what I have said or just flat out lie about it (like that academy nonsense). Hey I have an idea, why don't YOU come out of the shadows???? You know, since you are so brave ordering others to do so. What I have said was I filed a writ (an appeal) to the Supreme Court while in law school, I know of no other law student that has done this. The court gets 9,000 of these writs every year, and take 70 of them.— January 28, 2009 9:40 p.m.

As I've said, Johnny is obviously a troll. =================================== Now we can add in "trolls" alongside haters; "Anyone who opposes unsustainably high public safety salaries and benefits in Vallejo is called a "hater." We are called "haters" because apparently the, "if you're not with us, you're against us" mentailty reigns. The alleged "haters" are accused of hating all police officers and firefighters."— January 28, 2009 9:34 p.m.
Guess Who's San Diego's Newest Author: Michael Ellis of Metabolife, Writing from Prison
Ellis claims in his book that the Metabolife product "had cut into the profits of the nation's most powerful pharmaceutical companies," and therefore the FDA intervened in the companies' behalf. ============================ Ephedrine had numerous verified and documented deaths related to it's use, the notion that it was pulled for anything other than for safety is preposterous. Stating otherwise is really just the ramblings of a convicted felon trying to cover up his miscondcut.— January 28, 2009 9:32 p.m.
