How Do You Know, a Plasma-Screen Diversion
No comment on killing ladies softly with slow hands... I think I go now before I REALLY have to censor myself...— December 17, 2010 9:07 p.m.
Police Sorry They Brought Frivolous Lawsuits, Suing Their Lawyer
Ahem... San Diego peace officers AND their union are just about half way to declaring themselves in public to be vexatious litigants?!? Didn't anybody with a badge take the time to read the Complaints BEFORE signing? All San Diego criminal defense attorneys, take notice and copious notes...— December 17, 2010 5:04 p.m.
County Law Library Closing For Renovations
LOL... closed or opened, nobody working the City side of that suit has found anything useful at the Law Library yet... although there IS a whole mess o' stuff in the third floor stacks on the ins and outs of bankruptcy law! If our current City Attorney has ever been up there, then it's news to me.— December 17, 2010 4:46 p.m.
Trolley Pass Black Market Pops Up at Border
Even at $199 a month, that's still a bargain compared to car payments + gas, insurance, parking and tolls...— December 17, 2010 4:30 p.m.
How Do You Know, a Plasma-Screen Diversion
Per Fifth Amendment, no comment... except I ain't gots money.— December 17, 2010 4:20 p.m.
San Diegan Provided Insider Information, Says Department of Justice
It occurs to me that the insider trading aspect of this could have been cured by first leaking any information to be insider-sanitized to an obscure, rarely-read blogger on the Internet...— December 17, 2010 6:29 a.m.
Escondido City Councilmembers Excoriated as Ballpark Idea Entertained
There will be no risk... IF Escondido gets sucked into the defined project area of San Diego's Centre City Development Corporation, with its $6 billion-plus in anticipated tax increment revenues over the next few decades. Otherwise, North County residents are on your own.— December 17, 2010 12:28 a.m.
Escondido Council Approves Ballpark -- with Reservations
But you'll still have to pay taxes and fees for Escondido's municipal support of the project, whether you are a fan or not.— December 17, 2010 12:18 a.m.
A Free Energy-Saving Analysis for SDG&E Customers, Part I
Officially under both SDG&E's A0908020 application and its supporting testimony, we just simply use electricity at any time that's not weekday business hours, and we're OK... even if we're doing that laundry well after Happy Hour. Unofficially and internal to SDG&E and Sempra Energy, there is no empirical data available to back that up (which is why numerous parties have filed protests, including CPUC attorneys), and the profit-centered expectation of Sempra stock speculators is that we individually pay much more for using less electricity than we do now, keeping that quarterly 35-40 percent dividend payout on Sempra's retained earning to hedge funds, whales, and other investing insiders. Just the fact that virtually none of us will be unplugging our refrigerators during the day seems to support the speculative viewpoint. This surely won't be my last blog post on this topic!— December 17, 2010 12:13 a.m.
Escondido Bomb Scare
Award yourself a civil defense service ribbon, and keep both your eyes and ears open in public places. The important thing is that you're still here, alive and kicking. I have absolutely no information on any specific trouble brewing, but now that it's been a few years into this jobless recovery after the Crash of 2008, there are people with frayed nerves out there, who are agitated by layoffs, foreclosures, threatened poverty and homelessness, both for themselves and for loved ones they see threatened. Some of them will choose to not fade away quietly. One has already shown up at a Florida school board meeting. Be aware, and be safe.— December 16, 2010 11:05 p.m.
