Channel 10 Airs Mayor's Deposition in Crime Case Tonight
RE "Remember, the judge limited the questioning": If possible, see the tentative order denying hiz honor's protective order. NO protective order was issued to my knowledge on the tentative, and it's doubtful that there was such a modification to the tentative (as being fairly significant) during the hearing on the following day. On the unedited video as well as on the written transcript, the City Attorney representative of hiz honor would have had to make an objection IF Kessler's attorney crossed the line by asking a question that could have been answered by taking discovery on some lower level City employee OR was already answered in prior discovery... but then Kessler's attorney would have then likely argued the immediate answer under oath from hiz honor would have been necessary for impeachment purposes? IF all of this transpired, then it could have been enough to temporarily halt the deposition to await the Court's ruling before resuming weeks or months later... There ought to be a lot of juicy stuff on that tape in KGTV10's possession.— November 12, 2010 4:57 a.m.
Remember the Economy of September 2006?
This is just a guess, but it appears that from doing a "mouseover" with the cursor on the "reply" link, there is some Common Gateway Interface-Binary [server-side executable] (CGI-BIN) processing done when clicking on the "reply" link that your web browser security settings may not allow to go to completion? Or maybe it's a browser-specific bug AKA "feature" that still needs addressing by somebody... Like I said, it's just me guessing...— November 12, 2010 4:26 a.m.

Thanks to this entire comment thread, I now see Ted Bundy, John Gardner, Charles Manson and Bernard Madoff all in a brand new light. Mindy and Zuzzette's truth has set me free from my bad self. I feel like volunteering some time to the Innocence Project and getting those boys the hell out of prison. Despite their obvious but over-emphasized faults, we are all God's children: God bless us all.— November 12, 2010 4:07 a.m.
Belmont Park Predicament Not Amusing
RE "The city cannot rezone coastal property without the approval of the coastal commission, and that is not going to happen. Besides, I don't even know if the city has title to the property-it may be owned by the state": I wonder how hard it might be for Nathan Fletcher to ram a coastal constitutional amendment through during next year's budget negotiations? He's had some experience in backroom sausage-making already...— November 11, 2010 10:30 p.m.
Einstein, That Clown: Special Relativity Refuted at Bull's Smokin' BBQ
The Holy Grail in empirical science is to create a hypothesis that is verifiable by repeated experiments and that TURNS THE SCIENTIFIC WORLD UPSIDE DOWN. This requires the ability to communicate ideas to others who are qualified to understand what it is about that novel new idea that revolutionizes any given scientific field. This is the gold standard for bringing great credit to a lifetime of academic study and effort; otherwise, remember that the world is full of crackpots. Study the life of Sir Isaac Newton as to delaying publication of a great new theory, in competition with another... Everyone is free to take a look at the list of 1800-odd persons claimed as scientists at the web site you referenced. There are more Nobel Prize winners on the faculty of the University of California at San Diego than in that entire bunch you reference, and they got those prizes BY TURNING THEIR RESPECTIVE FIELDS UPSIDE DOWN WITH NEW THEORIES THAT WERE INDEPENDENTLY VERIFIED BY THEIR PEERS. This Einstein-disproving theory may have been conceived at a BBQ, but it does not appear able to stand the heat of rigorous academic scrutiny by the theorist's own admission. He is free to publish and prove me wrong. If he does, then I would still be proud of my part in goading him into the spotlight.— November 11, 2010 9:51 p.m.

First off, I Like Barbarella just the way she is. Wouldn't change anything about her. To me, it's about acceptance. In a situation like this, I'd quietly count to ten while remembering that city employees in certain overstaffed municipal departments are kind of stressed out right now, as some of them... maybe a lot of them... just might be shortly experiencing the kind of job-search blues like a lot of the rest of us in the private sector have already. On an entirely different note, I am shyly hesitant to express my animalistic desire for SurfPuppy's profile pic...— November 11, 2010 5:34 p.m.
Tijuana Kentucky Fried Chicken Stops Accepting U.S. Dollars
Found this story at the U-T: "Mexico limits dollar transactions to fight cartels" http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/2010/jun/15/me… According to article, "Businesses on the border or at tourist destinations would be limited to exchanging a maximum of $7,000 per month." I assume that KFC did much more than that in total monthly business...— November 11, 2010 3:51 p.m.
