Lynch Says Stadium Won't Cost City a Dime
True. And again, that lack of duck-soup could be related to how the recovery is not coming along as they had anticipated.

Lynch Says Stadium Won't Cost City a Dime
I really think it's economics. The revenue gained from Los Angeles is HUGE, that market is so much more large.

Lynch Says Stadium Won't Cost City a Dime
Lynch said "Deano [Spanos] was in my office last week saying, 'I don't want to move, but they're forcing me to move.'" -------------------------------------- Yes, I'm sure that Spanos has a gun held to his head at this point (*eyeroll*). I maintain that the only thing that has kept the Chargers from being in Los Angeles by now is the economic recession and the only thing that keeps them from moving there right now is the lack of economic recovery.

UT San Diego CEO, John Lynch, sued by American Express in 2010
Lynch has a history of refusing to honor contracts - from back in his radio days - if he thinks he is being screwed somehow. Sometimes it's smarter to negotiate your way out of something rather than to take some ridiculous stand and do nothing. Lynch got into a big contract dispute with Scott Kaplan and Billy Ray Smith when he was with BCA Radio, which was eventually resolved but he kept the duo off of the air for quite some time. And ironically, the duo now work for the UT television thing. Draw your own conclusions about that.

Too much unity in diversity?
The only thing I DEMAND from this piece is for you to tell me you didn't invent the name "Peter Prick". If you did, then lie to me, you magnificent bastard.

Business Journal Says Manchester Has Purchased North County Times
If this is true - and I don't doubt you for a moment - then this is horrible for San Diego. Just more journalists that are going to be told what to write. With NCT at least readers could get a story without some wicked slant, I can't imagine how that's going to read now. I feel sorry for the few journalists I know who work there and I hope for the best for them, they deserved better.

Tilted Kilt waitresses and other San Diego bar girls sound off
If you take this piece and broaden the scope of it, it's really simple. We ALL self-exploit to some extent, the limit of which is a moral issue where the lines are drawn differently by all of us. With these girls, you just see it for what it is. I'm not paying an extra dollar for a beer just because it's served by some half-naked chica with over-sized funbags, but if there wasn't a large number of other men who enjoyed that sort of thing then the gals would be doing something else. And likely, there would be some other reason that many of them would think that men are gross. Which is fine, I'll be sure and contemplate that next time I clean the bathroom and shove aside the fake eyelashes and hair extensions and make-up and feminine hygiene products and so on, as I unclog the toilet because SOMEONE tossed 67 Q-Tips in there because she thought the flusher would magically make them (along with hair, around a half-roll of toilet paper, and other stuff I would rather not mention) disappear. It could be said that women are also gross. But if we limit the scope of the grossness to sex and how men or women treat and think about other men or women, then some girls are actually still worse than the average guy. I have overheard conversations between girls about guys that made me blush. And that's not an easy accomplishment. But that's the idea behind these pieces, it makes for an interesting read but even better when folks discuss it. In a rational manner, of course.

Enviros try to stop channelization in Tijuana's Colonia Chilpancingo
Interesting stuff. It's difficult to write about Tijuana issues without drawing direct comparisons to how things operate in the U.S., everything is totally different here. In both countries, the government will get its way, except that the path to that end is entirely different. This creek will go away, economics is more important than ecology, this is what happens. That would happen in the U.S. as well, just differently, with the same exact concerns and the same ignorance by the government. By the way, the vast majority of the Tijuana River was not paved in the 1960's. From the Rodriguez Dam to 5 Y 10 was all dirt when I came to live here in 1992 - in fact, most roads went through the River and their were no bridges East of 5 Y 10. During the big El Niño storms in 1993, the Dam overflowed and the floodgates were eventually opened for safety reasons and the flooded River killed countless people illegally camping/living in the way of the water. Directly afterwards, the government paved the river all of the way back to the Dam, many believe that bodies of victims still lie entombed underneath the concrete. But to summarize, all governments do what all governments do, which is whatever they want to do.

In other news...
Whenever I hear the words "news organ" I immediately think of Clinton for some reason.

Linda, They Hardly Knew Ye
Why not? Men have been writing Romance novels under women's names for decades, it's about time someone got some good revenge on those fools. I mean, REAL WOMEN know that clothes don't instantly disappear from human flesh based on some sort of sordid and inexplicable desire, only men dream that crap up. Or do they?

Lynch Says Stadium Won't Cost City a Dime
True. And again, that lack of duck-soup could be related to how the recovery is not coming along as they had anticipated.— September 18, 2012 5:51 p.m.
Lynch Says Stadium Won't Cost City a Dime
I really think it's economics. The revenue gained from Los Angeles is HUGE, that market is so much more large.— September 18, 2012 5:50 p.m.
Lynch Says Stadium Won't Cost City a Dime
Lynch said "Deano [Spanos] was in my office last week saying, 'I don't want to move, but they're forcing me to move.'" -------------------------------------- Yes, I'm sure that Spanos has a gun held to his head at this point (*eyeroll*). I maintain that the only thing that has kept the Chargers from being in Los Angeles by now is the economic recession and the only thing that keeps them from moving there right now is the lack of economic recovery.— September 18, 2012 3:44 p.m.
UT San Diego CEO, John Lynch, sued by American Express in 2010
Lynch has a history of refusing to honor contracts - from back in his radio days - if he thinks he is being screwed somehow. Sometimes it's smarter to negotiate your way out of something rather than to take some ridiculous stand and do nothing. Lynch got into a big contract dispute with Scott Kaplan and Billy Ray Smith when he was with BCA Radio, which was eventually resolved but he kept the duo off of the air for quite some time. And ironically, the duo now work for the UT television thing. Draw your own conclusions about that.— September 18, 2012 2:34 p.m.
Too much unity in diversity?
The only thing I DEMAND from this piece is for you to tell me you didn't invent the name "Peter Prick". If you did, then lie to me, you magnificent bastard.— September 14, 2012 2:25 p.m.
Business Journal Says Manchester Has Purchased North County Times
If this is true - and I don't doubt you for a moment - then this is horrible for San Diego. Just more journalists that are going to be told what to write. With NCT at least readers could get a story without some wicked slant, I can't imagine how that's going to read now. I feel sorry for the few journalists I know who work there and I hope for the best for them, they deserved better.— September 10, 2012 1:51 p.m.
Tilted Kilt waitresses and other San Diego bar girls sound off
If you take this piece and broaden the scope of it, it's really simple. We ALL self-exploit to some extent, the limit of which is a moral issue where the lines are drawn differently by all of us. With these girls, you just see it for what it is. I'm not paying an extra dollar for a beer just because it's served by some half-naked chica with over-sized funbags, but if there wasn't a large number of other men who enjoyed that sort of thing then the gals would be doing something else. And likely, there would be some other reason that many of them would think that men are gross. Which is fine, I'll be sure and contemplate that next time I clean the bathroom and shove aside the fake eyelashes and hair extensions and make-up and feminine hygiene products and so on, as I unclog the toilet because SOMEONE tossed 67 Q-Tips in there because she thought the flusher would magically make them (along with hair, around a half-roll of toilet paper, and other stuff I would rather not mention) disappear. It could be said that women are also gross. But if we limit the scope of the grossness to sex and how men or women treat and think about other men or women, then some girls are actually still worse than the average guy. I have overheard conversations between girls about guys that made me blush. And that's not an easy accomplishment. But that's the idea behind these pieces, it makes for an interesting read but even better when folks discuss it. In a rational manner, of course.— September 6, 2012 12:29 p.m.
Enviros try to stop channelization in Tijuana's Colonia Chilpancingo
Interesting stuff. It's difficult to write about Tijuana issues without drawing direct comparisons to how things operate in the U.S., everything is totally different here. In both countries, the government will get its way, except that the path to that end is entirely different. This creek will go away, economics is more important than ecology, this is what happens. That would happen in the U.S. as well, just differently, with the same exact concerns and the same ignorance by the government. By the way, the vast majority of the Tijuana River was not paved in the 1960's. From the Rodriguez Dam to 5 Y 10 was all dirt when I came to live here in 1992 - in fact, most roads went through the River and their were no bridges East of 5 Y 10. During the big El Niño storms in 1993, the Dam overflowed and the floodgates were eventually opened for safety reasons and the flooded River killed countless people illegally camping/living in the way of the water. Directly afterwards, the government paved the river all of the way back to the Dam, many believe that bodies of victims still lie entombed underneath the concrete. But to summarize, all governments do what all governments do, which is whatever they want to do.— September 5, 2012 1:01 p.m.
In other news...
Whenever I hear the words "news organ" I immediately think of Clinton for some reason.— September 5, 2012 12:24 p.m.
Linda, They Hardly Knew Ye
Why not? Men have been writing Romance novels under women's names for decades, it's about time someone got some good revenge on those fools. I mean, REAL WOMEN know that clothes don't instantly disappear from human flesh based on some sort of sordid and inexplicable desire, only men dream that crap up. Or do they? http://sandiegoreader.com/users/photos/2012/aug/3…— August 31, 2012 7:05 p.m.
