HaHa! I bet there are matching panties on the nuclear rods!

Oceanside Councilmember Has Harsh Words for Mexican Mafia During Presentation from Laura Duffy
The Mexican Mafia and the Drug Cartels are the ones paying off Laura Scruffy, Dirty Dumanis & Bad Rug Goldsmith to go after the legal medical marijuana clinics and dispensaries. Why? Well, for one thing, by keeping pot illegal and closing legit dispensaries, the people who need medical marijuana will go back to buying it on the streets and from local pushers, who are supplied by the...Mexican Mafia & Drug pushers. Follow the money trail.

Local LGBT Publication Alleges DeMaio Made Deal with the Devil
If Carl DeMaio is of the devil; then it must be that Bonnie Dumanis is the Great Satan! Both of them are full of filthy, dirty tricks but that has nothing to do with their sexual orientations. Both of those Republicans make Nathan Fletcher look like an innocent choir boy! If I was of the party of the elephant, I know whom I would vote for!

Dumanis Lifts Her Plan Word for Word
Shameful behavior from a mayoral hopeful! There is not an original idea in that loathsome women's head. She is a hack, pure and simple. Thank you for enlightening us on this plagiarism and thievery of the Dirty D.A., Don Bauder.

Boeing 787 Dreamliner Lands in San Diego
I want to be one of the first on this new plane when Japan Airlines begins nonstop service to Tokyo from San Diego this December! BTW, now that the author of this story, Justin, has received positive attention from the Reader for his video on the Dreamliner, he now wants to spend Spring Break up at LAX filming and video taping other big-name foreign carriers for fun! LOL

Dumanis Releases Plan for City Hall Accountability
SurfPuppy619 is right about the Sommers case being the tipping point that sends the Dirty D.A. off into official "retirement," where she can begin to enjoy the annual $240,000 tax-payer fleecing pension that she has "earned" with her malfeasance and incompetence. The word is getting out about Bonnie, slowly but surely, and though many voters don't have a clue about what a phony hack she is, many more have been educated through the chronic series of scandals, botched cases and idiotic charging decisions that has gotten quack Bonnie's name in the headlines. I am specifically referring to the Diana Gonzalez murder, the politically-motivated prosecutions of the Sweetwater 5 and Chula Vista's City Councilman Steve Castaneda, Bonnie's ill-advised persecutions of sick medical marijuana patients, and her targeting of the most vulnerable members of society to sic her D.A. "investigators" (i.e. thugs) on. Not Dumanis!

Dumanis Shopping for Netflix-Savvy High Def TVs
Probably that's how she keeps those Assistant D.A.'s around who hate her so much. She buys them fancy TV's to watch HD sports and 3D porn in the break room.

FM 94/9 Cancels Morning Talk
Mikey Show
A little birdie told me that Mikey's next incarnation may not involve radio or unfunny crew shows at all. Mikey would make a fantastic pastor or youth minister. He has charisma, knows his Bible, and has that cool look about him that makes the young Christians take him seriously as a righteous role model. Mikey should use this (hopefully) paid 10 months off as a sabbatical opportunity to go get a pastoral degree. I am sure Mikey's pal from the Rock Church, Pastor Miles McPherson, would certainly welcome Mikey into the Pastor flock, as Mikey is well-respected and well-liked big time over there at Liberty Station.

Cluttered Home Hinders Firefighters in Imperial Beach
Hoarders and all the crap they like to pile up are dangers to everyone--not just the obsessed "collectors" who can't seem to throw anything away. I live in the dysfunctional Mariner's Cove apartments in Ocean Beach and the low-income HUD units here have about 5 known hoarders who dumpster dive and store trash and junk in their tax-payer supported units. Not too mention one man from Tijuana in particular who somehow managed to suck up to the right people & got into one of the 3-bedroom apartments that he stores full of useless shit. His excuse: he always says "he will take the crap to Tijuana to help the poor." Yeah, right. This POS hauls it to Kobey's Swap Meet and tries to sell it. Now his late, late, late model blue truck that does not run and has expired tags is LOADED with all kinds of junk. Do you think the property managers do anything about this? They can't be bothered because the on site nitwits in charge at Ghetto Cove are too busy shuffling papers in their offices to actually do any work. Look under Neighborhood Photos (Ocean Beach) & I will post some pictures, if you don't believe me. Next stop to try and fix the hoarding problem here: calling Turko @ KUSI and filing a Neighborhood Code Compliance complaint with the City. Hoarders are not some nut jobs who can't seem to clean house--they are a HAZARD and DANGER to us all, as this Imperial Beach "stringers" story attests to.

All Charges Dismissed in Case Stemming from Ocean Beach Apartment Fire
They also say "the road to hell is paved with good intentions." And I would add, as a friend and supporter of Larissa & Silas, "Hell hath no fury like a mother who's been messed with by THE MAN!" Ask the Dirty D.A. about how that all is playing out for her with my own case. I hope Larissa can acquire a pit bull pro bono shark, I mean, lawyer and sues the living daylights out of CPS, the lying cops, and even the usually well-behaved fire officials who were the ones snooping around for "water hazards" in the first place!

HaHa! I bet there are matching panties on the nuclear rods!— March 29, 2012 8:17 p.m.
Oceanside Councilmember Has Harsh Words for Mexican Mafia During Presentation from Laura Duffy
The Mexican Mafia and the Drug Cartels are the ones paying off Laura Scruffy, Dirty Dumanis & Bad Rug Goldsmith to go after the legal medical marijuana clinics and dispensaries. Why? Well, for one thing, by keeping pot illegal and closing legit dispensaries, the people who need medical marijuana will go back to buying it on the streets and from local pushers, who are supplied by the...Mexican Mafia & Drug pushers. Follow the money trail.— March 16, 2012 9:15 p.m.
Local LGBT Publication Alleges DeMaio Made Deal with the Devil
If Carl DeMaio is of the devil; then it must be that Bonnie Dumanis is the Great Satan! Both of them are full of filthy, dirty tricks but that has nothing to do with their sexual orientations. Both of those Republicans make Nathan Fletcher look like an innocent choir boy! If I was of the party of the elephant, I know whom I would vote for!— March 16, 2012 1:21 p.m.
Dumanis Lifts Her Plan Word for Word
Shameful behavior from a mayoral hopeful! There is not an original idea in that loathsome women's head. She is a hack, pure and simple. Thank you for enlightening us on this plagiarism and thievery of the Dirty D.A., Don Bauder.— March 15, 2012 8:12 p.m.
Boeing 787 Dreamliner Lands in San Diego
I want to be one of the first on this new plane when Japan Airlines begins nonstop service to Tokyo from San Diego this December! BTW, now that the author of this story, Justin, has received positive attention from the Reader for his video on the Dreamliner, he now wants to spend Spring Break up at LAX filming and video taping other big-name foreign carriers for fun! LOL— March 15, 2012 10:45 a.m.
Dumanis Releases Plan for City Hall Accountability
SurfPuppy619 is right about the Sommers case being the tipping point that sends the Dirty D.A. off into official "retirement," where she can begin to enjoy the annual $240,000 tax-payer fleecing pension that she has "earned" with her malfeasance and incompetence. The word is getting out about Bonnie, slowly but surely, and though many voters don't have a clue about what a phony hack she is, many more have been educated through the chronic series of scandals, botched cases and idiotic charging decisions that has gotten quack Bonnie's name in the headlines. I am specifically referring to the Diana Gonzalez murder, the politically-motivated prosecutions of the Sweetwater 5 and Chula Vista's City Councilman Steve Castaneda, Bonnie's ill-advised persecutions of sick medical marijuana patients, and her targeting of the most vulnerable members of society to sic her D.A. "investigators" (i.e. thugs) on. Not Dumanis!— March 15, 2012 10:06 a.m.
Dumanis Shopping for Netflix-Savvy High Def TVs
Probably that's how she keeps those Assistant D.A.'s around who hate her so much. She buys them fancy TV's to watch HD sports and 3D porn in the break room.— March 13, 2012 8:25 p.m.
FM 94/9 Cancels Morning Talk Mikey Show
A little birdie told me that Mikey's next incarnation may not involve radio or unfunny crew shows at all. Mikey would make a fantastic pastor or youth minister. He has charisma, knows his Bible, and has that cool look about him that makes the young Christians take him seriously as a righteous role model. Mikey should use this (hopefully) paid 10 months off as a sabbatical opportunity to go get a pastoral degree. I am sure Mikey's pal from the Rock Church, Pastor Miles McPherson, would certainly welcome Mikey into the Pastor flock, as Mikey is well-respected and well-liked big time over there at Liberty Station.— March 9, 2012 7:13 p.m.
Cluttered Home Hinders Firefighters in Imperial Beach
Hoarders and all the crap they like to pile up are dangers to everyone--not just the obsessed "collectors" who can't seem to throw anything away. I live in the dysfunctional Mariner's Cove apartments in Ocean Beach and the low-income HUD units here have about 5 known hoarders who dumpster dive and store trash and junk in their tax-payer supported units. Not too mention one man from Tijuana in particular who somehow managed to suck up to the right people & got into one of the 3-bedroom apartments that he stores full of useless shit. His excuse: he always says "he will take the crap to Tijuana to help the poor." Yeah, right. This POS hauls it to Kobey's Swap Meet and tries to sell it. Now his late, late, late model blue truck that does not run and has expired tags is LOADED with all kinds of junk. Do you think the property managers do anything about this? They can't be bothered because the on site nitwits in charge at Ghetto Cove are too busy shuffling papers in their offices to actually do any work. Look under Neighborhood Photos (Ocean Beach) & I will post some pictures, if you don't believe me. Next stop to try and fix the hoarding problem here: calling Turko @ KUSI and filing a Neighborhood Code Compliance complaint with the City. Hoarders are not some nut jobs who can't seem to clean house--they are a HAZARD and DANGER to us all, as this Imperial Beach "stringers" story attests to.— March 9, 2012 11:11 a.m.
All Charges Dismissed in Case Stemming from Ocean Beach Apartment Fire
They also say "the road to hell is paved with good intentions." And I would add, as a friend and supporter of Larissa & Silas, "Hell hath no fury like a mother who's been messed with by THE MAN!" Ask the Dirty D.A. about how that all is playing out for her with my own case. I hope Larissa can acquire a pit bull pro bono shark, I mean, lawyer and sues the living daylights out of CPS, the lying cops, and even the usually well-behaved fire officials who were the ones snooping around for "water hazards" in the first place!— March 9, 2012 10:51 a.m.
