Here is an update on Larissa & Silas. I am very happy to report that they have been reunited and charges dropped against the single mom. But the misery inflicted on the Ocean Beach family still lingers. Larissa has also suffered financially from this mess. Let's hope that they can now put this tragedy and persecution behind them and let it serve as a warning--that bad stuff like this can happen to anyone. — March 7, 2012 11:36 a.m.
FM 94/9 Cancels Morning Talk Mikey Show
Sorry to hear this news. I really liked Mikey & he is a good guy. Hopefully, he & his crew got a juicy payout from 94.9 to vacate the morning slot with 10 months left to go on his contract. Maybe 94.9 should hire some of the old goats that are left who are not already "revitalizing" 91X's ratings? If any of them are still alive?— March 8, 2012 11:59 a.m.

Legally Blind Aurora Ortiz Finishes Chelsea’s Run
I can assure "viewer" that Aurora is legally blind and I do not think she is rooking the taxpayers with Medi-Cal as she holds a position as President of the Blind Community Center of San Diego, a noted non-profit that does lots of outreach and good works for the blind and disabled in the community. There are scam artists in every neck of the woods, unfortunately, though. I must also note that Aurora did message me with the detail that "We are not natives of Puerto Rico, we were born in New York City, although what happened (with my sister) took place in Puerto Rico."— March 6, 2012 4:59 p.m.
The Scientific Facts About Cake
I am glad that this music reviewer sees fit to drool all over Cake. I take umbrage with his closing statement that this bunch of Sac pretenders is the best live band on the planet. NOT! In my opinion, they have a couple of catchy tunes that 91X, as usual, overplays on the radio. That's about it. Furthermore, that "drool wit and sardonic manner" mentioned is more like passive-aggressive hostility aimed at the audiences. At the 91X Christmas show at Viejas in 2010, I remember how that dopey lead singer came out and started arguing and belittling the fans. When they couldn't answer the dumb questions he was tossing out to the kids in the pit, all hell broke lose from the mouth of guttersnipe singer John McCrea. It is a scientific fact: An "Evening with Cake" will make you a fan of pie.— February 29, 2012 6:28 a.m.
Ex Carlsbad Attorney Patricia Gregory to Serve One Year in Jail
Farewell to this thief and liar and former San Diego District Attorney employee & pal of Dirty Dumanis. Do you suppose that at one time, Gregory might have been a decent sort but then when she got mixed in with all the greed, lies, corruption, and malfeasance that takes place at the downtown "Hall of Justice," it demonized her. This is the tragic result-with a POS heading off to a prison sentence and two very legitimately upset victims who wanted their money back. Too bad, Bonnie--another strike against your negligible qualifications to be the next Mayor!— February 25, 2012 2:01 p.m.
Strong Mayor: Strong Mayor vs. His Ungrateful Media
What thou hath rot upon you, Oh Lame Duck Jerry? Why ruin your legacy to the city--of cronyism and favors to rich friends-- by complaining now when you are called to the carpet as the clock ticks down to the inevitable handing over of the crown of Mayor to anybody but Dirty Dumanis? Why not leave power in a spirit of goodwill and graciousness--and let those pugnacious scribes fight over how they will look to smear you in your waning days as Chief Head of San Diego? I will most remember you, Colonel Saunder, as that craven politico who did an about face on Prop. 8 when daughter-dearie came crying to you about how she wants to marry her girlie friend. So much for loyalty to your values! Bon voyage, Jerry!— February 24, 2012 1:48 p.m.
Southeastern San Diego Closer to Banning For-Sale Vehicles from City Streets
This is great news! It is always so ghetto-looking when you drive to Southeast to gang bang or do a drive-by and there are all these crappy cars along the streets with for sale signs. How are you supposed to know whether they have cops or the DEA hiding in them when you are trying to buy some crack? I do not mind the big, junky vans with expired tags and roomy interiors because then you can turn some tricks in them for free without having to rent a cheap motel to get busy with some fool! Thanks for upgrading da hood. (jk)— February 23, 2012 12:36 p.m.
Sheriff Seeks Supporters
Bill Gore is all wrong about wearing gold undergarments. With his silvery mane, this Coronado Mansion murder-excusing bungling bad liar looks so much more chic in pale pastels and vibrant neutral colors. I would also advise the Sheriff--who is probably now driving a new Mercedes courtesy of an Arizona Pharmaceutical mogul--to consider perhaps a less showy bra and one that does not contain underwire girding. Since Bill's manboobs are little more than budding pancakes, it is not necessary at this time to prop up a fading facade. Much like Bill's unwise "endorsement" of the desperately declining D.A. who would want to be Mayor but will soon be put out to pasture with Bill, who would now want to reconsider ever running for office here again. Something about a lot of people being mad about how "Whore" Gore sold out poor Rebecca Zahau and threw her grieving family under the bus?— February 23, 2012 8:17 a.m.
OB Rag’s Frank Gormlie Has an Online Impersonator
Shame on whatever moron is doing this to Frank Gormlie. He is a fine person and one of the best DUI attorneys who serves it to you straight up. Yeah, maybe he went a little overboard with all that Occupy stuff, but there is not a stronger advocate around for the little guy. He is not afraid to take a stand against idiot politicians, who shall remain nameless for now. Frank Gormlie has been through the fire, so to speak, and for some dirty scoundrel to mess with him like this is an outrage! Whoever is impersonating him better watch out! Frank Gormlie is not a person to be trifled with!— February 21, 2012 11:56 a.m.
Unconditional Surrender “Kiss-In” Draws Crowd
Thanks to everyone who made this event happen. At first the Port District was messing around with photographer Realpeople and telling him that a "Port Permit" was required for a planned gathering of more than 20 people. Fortunately, it was the start of a long, President's Day holiday weekend that only the overly-entitled, pension- rich city and county employees get paid to take off. Thus the ability to acquire a permit was not going to happen and now that the word was out among Facebook, Yelp, the Reader, and other news sources that the "Kiss-Off" was on, the Port acquiesced. The couples (of all ages) who were making out for the camera seemed to be genuinely thrilled to kiss for the many photographers and media on scene. Even the singletons like myself seemed charmed with the romance of it all. Here's hoping the SD Port District will get it together, along with some local institutions and fund-raisers to cast the "Unconditional Surrender" in bronze and make it a permanent addition to our water front area.— February 19, 2012 8:22 a.m.
