Union-Tribune circulation takes a hit
If the hard-right editorial slant is aiming for a Tea Party audience, that's misguided. Conservatives who already no longer subscribe to a daily paper aren't going to sign up for the U-T en masse. They can get all the conservative groupthink they want from Fox News and talk radio, without paying for a newspaper subscription or having to pick up yesterday's paper and throw it in the trash can. (Because they're conservative, they probably don't recycle the newspaper. Ha.)— May 2, 2014 12:47 p.m.
Watch out for the multiplier hooey
Breaking down the Colorado nonsense (which was breathlessly reported as fact in the Denver Post): "The Strategic Marketing and Research group surveyed Colorado vacationers who had seen the ads, which aired heavily in Phoenix, Dallas and Chicago. The group asked whether the ads had persuaded a visit to Colorado, and if so, how much money did the vacationers spend." 1) This is making no differentation between people who visited Colorado only because of the ads, and people who saw the ads but would have vacationed there whether or not they ever saw the ads. 2) There is no verification whatsoever. The survey takes it purely on faith that the respondents actually visited Colorado and actually spent the amount in Colorado that they claim to have spent. 3) As Don noted, even if there was a real, accurate amount of dollars spent, it would be gross dollars spent in the state, and only 10-20 percent of that would be net dollars accruing to Colorado businesses and taxing entities.— April 29, 2014 12:54 p.m.
Pocketful of coke and a spontaneous statement
A donut shop parking lot might not be the best place to avoid police surveillance.— April 29, 2014 12:44 p.m.
Carlsbad hash-oil processor processed in Vista
"Authorities had gotten a tip" ... tsk, tsk. Probably means that Mr. Steadman was a bit too greedy; didn't pay one of the people who were helping him, or didn't pay them enough. Pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered.— April 28, 2014 2:49 p.m.
Manchester gets his man on planning commission
Papa Doug is going to get an excellent return on investment for the money he gave to Faulconer. No doubt this is only the beginning.— April 28, 2014 2:44 p.m.
Media publication says Manchester might sell
I agree, it's possible that he's going to sell, but who knows. There are old Manchester stories about things he's bought and then sold shortly thereafter. When you have that kind of money, anything you might lose on the "churn" from buying and selling is, as JustWondering says, a mere pittance.— April 3, 2014 4:12 p.m.
Scripps Ranch to Walmart: Put it in Mira Mesa
Actually, it sounds like you agree with Ms. Marshall. You live in Mira Mesa and you don't want Walmart in your neighborhood, just like she doesn't want Walmart in her neighborhood.— March 26, 2014 3:41 p.m.
Maldonado family farm closes in Cardiff
The I-5 widening project through Cardiff "begins in a few years"??? Caltrans and the contractors are moving at a pace that makes snails seem blindingly fast. At this rate, we'll all be too old to drive our cars by the time Caltrans gets this project finished in Oceanside.— March 17, 2014 1:03 p.m.

Ted Leitner has on-air meltdown at SDSU game
Agreed, the first, and biggest, oops was letting the suitcase into the arena in the first place. Fans who enter through the turnstiles can't even bring backpacks anymore, let alone something even more problematic like a suitcase. And, Leitner should have known better than to try and take his suitcase in there with him. Was he trying to get to the airport quickly after the game?— March 17, 2014 12:56 p.m.
