Looks like a Brylcreem overdose to me. Gel is one thing, axle grease is another.— November 5, 2019 7:41 p.m.
Horton Homeless Haven?
I don't know how far back in time you go, but I remember those Boll Weevil burgers when they were 69 cents. Gasoline was as low as 23 cents a gallon at that time. How things change.— November 4, 2019 9:10 a.m.
Is California sex-ed anti-immigrant?
Huh?— November 2, 2019 9:27 a.m.
Horton Homeless Haven?
This lawsuit by Macy's is misunderstood. They don't want to hold up the conversion; the company is run by realists. Yet with the closure of all or nearly all of the retail in the mall, it no longer has a draw. No, what Macy's wants is MONEY, as in a buyout settlement. And I'd guess that they will get one, probably not as generous as they think they should receive, but enough to take the big sting out of closing yet another store.— November 2, 2019 9:26 a.m.

For a long time when I read those Mencken pieces, I would comment that they were as believable as real news, often more believable. Then the the pieces got totally nonsensical . Well, whoever is writing them has hit it on the head with this one. The decimated local media hasn't done much of a job in reporting on "lovely Lorena" or her hubby Nathan with his greasy locks. There is so much more that could be revealed about the "power couple". Let's plan to expect some real reporting on their acceptance of campaign funds, questionable votes, and why they vote as they do. Inquiring minds want to know.— November 1, 2019 5:51 p.m.
Squatters' paradise on Sunset Cliffs
Once again, the do-nothing San Diego city government does nothing. Does publicity like this help get the slugs to move? Sometimes it does, sometimes not. Keep us posted.— November 1, 2019 11:23 a.m.
Is California sex-ed anti-immigrant?
This is odd. I'd expected these Middle-easterners to have some specific complaints about how their culture treats women that were being disparaged. But that's not it at all. Instead they are just highly culturally conservative, right-wing if you will, about the subject. If anyone had such objections, I'd have expected them to come from East County white folks. Ya' just nevah know, do ya'?— October 31, 2019 8:43 a.m.
Nick Cannon-Jason Crawford sex trafficking probe closed
Stephan is supposed to be very committed to ending "human trafficking" and Elliott has put in her two cents also. What neither of them seems to know how recognize or prosecute is local political corruption. Stephan's predecessor Dumanis, who hand picked her, did almost nothing about rooting out such corruption. If you don't want to accept the notion that there is such corruption, there's no help for you. But it exists, especially in the city of San Diego and in South County, and goes unchallenged and untouched. So, yes, both are morally derelict and criminally negligent, two attributes of much of the local political establishment.— October 29, 2019 4:31 p.m.
Jacobs versus Gomez: all about family valuations
While I tend to agree with your appraisal of the situation, I object to her because she's part of a family that hasn't been good citizens in recent years, and a family that uses its fabulous wealth to buy other politicians and impose its ideas on the city and its residents. There has to be more than money that swings elections, but here in SD County, it rarely happens. Unfortunately she will likely "waltz" into the seat, bought and paid for by her avaricious grandfather and his other offspring.— October 24, 2019 10:20 a.m.
Farewell to KFMB radio
It is more than interesting that the seller of those stations, and who received about $ 1/3 billion for them, is our local billionairess Elisabeth Kimmel. That wouldn't be a big deal if she was just anyone; she's one of the parents who is charged in the college admissions case and who is accused of buying her daughter's admission and subsequent diploma from Georgetown, and then buying her son's way into USC as a pole vaulter. But it gets worse in that the payoffs are alleged to have been paid from a tax-exempt family charitable trust. She can expect problems from both the US Attorney and the IRS, In recent weeks we have been bombarded with reports of the travails of Felicity Huffman and her 13-day jail sentence. She was guilty of far less than the accusations against Liz. In the past weeks, there have been no news reports of how Kimmel plans to try to avoid a jail sentence. She has "lawyered up" and will probably spend something in the million dollar range to try to beat the rap. All the while these other hapless defendants are copping pleas and getting smacked on the wrist. For them this episode may be only a memory when the last few holdouts are sill litigating. Have there been any reports on any of the local stations about our star defendant and what she's been up to? Not for many weeks. Wonder about the objectivity of the local outlets? I do. It will be odd to think of the KFMB family of stations being broken up. While they were never the leaders of their segments, they did have viewership and listener-ship, and and some family connection. Now they will be cast to the four winds, and another local icon, the KFMB stations, will pass into history.— October 21, 2019 8:35 p.m.
