San Diego SlutWalk
Sorry, Slut-walkers, I have decided to go join The Surfing Madonna's FLASH MOB up in Encinitas for the afternoon on Saturday. I figure that there I will be able to lift up my dress and FLASH Encinitas drivers in honor of the MADONNA! LOL

San Diego SlutWalk
I wonder if someone who is a "reformed" slut would be allowed to march? Or how about a future slut?

The Terminator's Lawyer Tried to Intimidate the Reader, Too
The Curse of the Kennedy's strikes again! Poor Maria Shriver thought that she could beat that rap by moving out to sunny California and be free of the misfortune that dogs the Kennedy clan like a homeless man in OB demanding your change! Sorry Maria, but ole Joe drove many a poor, hard scrabble family to alcoholism during Prohibition and the Depression. He sold moonshine cheap and hooked plenty on cheap hootch, and they later turned into raging alcoholics. He became a millionaire! Then these poor, desperate souls used what little money they had during that time on BOOZE not shoes for the kids, milk for the baby and rent. JOE KENNEDY RUINED MANY A POOR FAMILY STRUGGLING TO SURVIVE! The Bible says you reap what you sow. Generations included.

DUI Checkpoint Screens Drivers Leaving Joel Osteen Event
Not sure about how many were busted but I can tell you that I did not see anyone there totting beer to their seats. I am appalled that the SDPD has nothing better to do with their time than setting up this ill-advised DUI checkpoint WHEN 14,000 CHRISTIANS are leaving a revival! How about maybe going over to Pacific Beach and the Garnet Ave. bars full of drunks and ho's??? I bet they could have really made some good arrests over that way. However their little Sports Arena Blvd. checkpoint only served to CLOG UP THE ALREADY CONGESTED STREET full of pious people trying to get on Interstate 8. It was ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS!

Dumanis Seeks Justice
@TheRailsplitter: I despise Bonnie Dumanis as much as you do! But please rein in your seething hatred and condemnation of her for your own good. I would hate to see Bonnie come after you again as someone who is a danger to her welfare. I, too, have been on the receiving end of Bonnie's "judicial mischief" and loathe every single thing about the D.A. When people hear what happened to me, they shake their heads in disbelief. My story will also come out someday and some people at a local radio station will have a lot of explaining to do. Please channel your righteous anger and sense of injustice to proper channels: Join NOT DUMANIS on Facebook, where we do not let one Bonnie tidbit escape our attention. We will be all over that witch from the east when the Mayoral debates start next year and plan to sit in the audience with our NOT DUMANIS t-shirts proudly worn and talk to all the media about Bonnie. My best to you dear @TheRailsplitter. FIGHT ON BROTHER!

Dumanis Seeks Justice
This is just a PUBLICITY STUNT for Bonnie Dumanis to get some attention towards her FLOUNDERING MAYORAL CAMPAIGN! Bonnie Dumanis could care less about Nunez or his family. She just wants to get her ugly mug & hideous Boston accent out there in front of the cameras. This "lawsuit" will surely be thrown out by a judge who knows the law, but Bonnie will have succeeded in pimping herself out there for the voters to try & see her as "a crusader for justice," which is about as LAUGHABLE a proposal as they come!

Car Thief Leaves His Wallet Behind
That comment turned out to be the ONE THING that identified the kid who stole the car before the Navy man found the wallet that was left in the car by accident. When it first happened, the police came & were asking for a description of the suspect. I overheard it & called a friend who is familiar with all the THUGS and GANG WANNABES that live there. I mentioned MAN BOOBS to her & she immediately told me who had them. I got an address & verified that Man Boobs lived there and called the police back with the info. By that time, the Navy man had driven his car & found the wallet with the kids Point Loma High School picture ID! This case WAS SOLVED initially by the MAN BOOBS designation! LOL

Privatized Air's Dead Air
This band rocks! I have seen them a couple of times around at various dive bars and they always put on a great show. PA for sure is gonna blow up, if they haven't done so already over in Colorado! Even though they snatch songs like "Pain Reliever" from their friends- Hocus- they still are definitely da bomb! Check them out if you can!

Pastor Miles McPherson to Take Over for Father Joe Carroll?
People need to calm themselves down about this. It is only being discussed-is what I heard from an insider. Father Joe-of course, is much beloved and appreciated but his diabetes is not getting any better and the Dear Father is not getting any younger. The Rock Church can offer a fresh infusion of volunteers who are always looking to "Do Something." @blueevey should pack away her negativism and lack of faith and know that God will do a good thing here, if something can be agreed upon. And if @blueevey ever attended Rock services, she would know this: "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." Matthew 6: 19-21.

Viejas Goes Gaga for the Lady
I agree with this reviewer totally. I saw Gaga when she played a sold-out show at the Sports Arena a while back. That woman puts on a terrific performance & pours her soul into it. Though her shows can get campy and freaky, there is no denying her artistry and talent. People look at Lady Gaga's weird get-ups and bizarre antics, but I think that is just all part of being uber-creative. Go Gaga!

San Diego SlutWalk
Sorry, Slut-walkers, I have decided to go join The Surfing Madonna's FLASH MOB up in Encinitas for the afternoon on Saturday. I figure that there I will be able to lift up my dress and FLASH Encinitas drivers in honor of the MADONNA! LOL— June 10, 2011 8:15 a.m.
San Diego SlutWalk
I wonder if someone who is a "reformed" slut would be allowed to march? Or how about a future slut?— June 9, 2011 1:32 p.m.
The Terminator's Lawyer Tried to Intimidate the Reader, Too
The Curse of the Kennedy's strikes again! Poor Maria Shriver thought that she could beat that rap by moving out to sunny California and be free of the misfortune that dogs the Kennedy clan like a homeless man in OB demanding your change! Sorry Maria, but ole Joe drove many a poor, hard scrabble family to alcoholism during Prohibition and the Depression. He sold moonshine cheap and hooked plenty on cheap hootch, and they later turned into raging alcoholics. He became a millionaire! Then these poor, desperate souls used what little money they had during that time on BOOZE not shoes for the kids, milk for the baby and rent. JOE KENNEDY RUINED MANY A POOR FAMILY STRUGGLING TO SURVIVE! The Bible says you reap what you sow. Generations included.— May 18, 2011 6:47 a.m.
DUI Checkpoint Screens Drivers Leaving Joel Osteen Event
Not sure about how many were busted but I can tell you that I did not see anyone there totting beer to their seats. I am appalled that the SDPD has nothing better to do with their time than setting up this ill-advised DUI checkpoint WHEN 14,000 CHRISTIANS are leaving a revival! How about maybe going over to Pacific Beach and the Garnet Ave. bars full of drunks and ho's??? I bet they could have really made some good arrests over that way. However their little Sports Arena Blvd. checkpoint only served to CLOG UP THE ALREADY CONGESTED STREET full of pious people trying to get on Interstate 8. It was ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS!— May 17, 2011 10:54 a.m.
Dumanis Seeks Justice
@TheRailsplitter: I despise Bonnie Dumanis as much as you do! But please rein in your seething hatred and condemnation of her for your own good. I would hate to see Bonnie come after you again as someone who is a danger to her welfare. I, too, have been on the receiving end of Bonnie's "judicial mischief" and loathe every single thing about the D.A. When people hear what happened to me, they shake their heads in disbelief. My story will also come out someday and some people at a local radio station will have a lot of explaining to do. Please channel your righteous anger and sense of injustice to proper channels: Join NOT DUMANIS on Facebook, where we do not let one Bonnie tidbit escape our attention. We will be all over that witch from the east when the Mayoral debates start next year and plan to sit in the audience with our NOT DUMANIS t-shirts proudly worn and talk to all the media about Bonnie. My best to you dear @TheRailsplitter. FIGHT ON BROTHER!— May 14, 2011 8:12 a.m.
Dumanis Seeks Justice
This is just a PUBLICITY STUNT for Bonnie Dumanis to get some attention towards her FLOUNDERING MAYORAL CAMPAIGN! Bonnie Dumanis could care less about Nunez or his family. She just wants to get her ugly mug & hideous Boston accent out there in front of the cameras. This "lawsuit" will surely be thrown out by a judge who knows the law, but Bonnie will have succeeded in pimping herself out there for the voters to try & see her as "a crusader for justice," which is about as LAUGHABLE a proposal as they come!— May 12, 2011 11:31 a.m.
Car Thief Leaves His Wallet Behind
That comment turned out to be the ONE THING that identified the kid who stole the car before the Navy man found the wallet that was left in the car by accident. When it first happened, the police came & were asking for a description of the suspect. I overheard it & called a friend who is familiar with all the THUGS and GANG WANNABES that live there. I mentioned MAN BOOBS to her & she immediately told me who had them. I got an address & verified that Man Boobs lived there and called the police back with the info. By that time, the Navy man had driven his car & found the wallet with the kids Point Loma High School picture ID! This case WAS SOLVED initially by the MAN BOOBS designation! LOL— April 24, 2011 7:04 p.m.
Privatized Air's Dead Air
This band rocks! I have seen them a couple of times around at various dive bars and they always put on a great show. PA for sure is gonna blow up, if they haven't done so already over in Colorado! Even though they snatch songs like "Pain Reliever" from their friends- Hocus- they still are definitely da bomb! Check them out if you can!— April 14, 2011 4:22 p.m.
Pastor Miles McPherson to Take Over for Father Joe Carroll?
People need to calm themselves down about this. It is only being discussed-is what I heard from an insider. Father Joe-of course, is much beloved and appreciated but his diabetes is not getting any better and the Dear Father is not getting any younger. The Rock Church can offer a fresh infusion of volunteers who are always looking to "Do Something." @blueevey should pack away her negativism and lack of faith and know that God will do a good thing here, if something can be agreed upon. And if @blueevey ever attended Rock services, she would know this: "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." Matthew 6: 19-21.— April 8, 2011 1:20 p.m.
Viejas Goes Gaga for the Lady
I agree with this reviewer totally. I saw Gaga when she played a sold-out show at the Sports Arena a while back. That woman puts on a terrific performance & pours her soul into it. Though her shows can get campy and freaky, there is no denying her artistry and talent. People look at Lady Gaga's weird get-ups and bizarre antics, but I think that is just all part of being uber-creative. Go Gaga!— April 6, 2011 7:28 a.m.
