Will U-T and Republicans Attack Leslie Devaney?
Legal issues aside, it seemed to me the real objectional issue here is people accepting campaign contributions from employees that they can "pay-back" with a salary adjustment/raise. Any ideas on how many of the contributions mentioned above would fall into that category?— October 14, 2007 2:51 a.m.

McGrath Says U-T Editorial Was Libelous
If anyone knows about libelous comments, it should be Mike Aguirre and Don McGrath. They regularly accuse others of being corrupt with no proof to back it up. Good luck with the case McGrath, NOT!! It was an editorial, an opinion about a public official. Read your law books and figure it out!!— October 12, 2007 1:13 p.m.
McGrath Says U-T Editorial Was Libelous
For Don Bauder. What does the City Charter say is the role of the City Attorney. Specically: who does he report to or represent? Thank you.— October 12, 2007 9:41 a.m.
"We're Taking Over," Says Peters
Peters better hope that the district attorney doesn't decide to enforce the city charter clause the UT is harping on, or he could end up being removed from office too. Wish he'd stop harping on Agguire and focus on solving the city's financial, water, and development problems like he's being paid to do.— October 11, 2007 10:42 a.m.
"We're Taking Over," Says Peters
is that because the council has done such a great job running the rest of the city?— October 10, 2007 10:35 p.m.
La Jolla and the Missing $9 Billion
Today on Demoncracy Now! (get it on Free Speech TV - 9415 on Dish Network - well worth the $25/mo.), journalist and anchor Amy Goodman revisited the issue with Donald Bartlett and James Steele, Pulitzer Prize-winning reporting team, formerly with Time, now writing in Vanity Fair. See transcript at: www.Democracy Now.org Goodman referred to the earlier Democracy Now! interview of former Fed chairman Alan Greenspan, who was questioned by both Goodman and journmalist Naomi Klein re the matter of the transfer of $2.4 billion from a NY Federal Reserve Bank facility to a semi-truck to be shipped to Iraq. Greenspan claimed to know nothing of the transfer, excused the matter by touting the building of the Iraq Central Bank by the Fed's efforts, and said people had confused "dinars" with "dollars". Steele and Barlett contradicted Greenspan's version of no knowlege, saying that there is a huge paper trail attached to Fed transfers, something turned over to Congress for its own investigations. La Jolla and Thomas Howell's names came up again -- connected to Patrick Thompson of Evergreen Securities, formerly in the Bahamas. Interestingly, there has been no reporting on the issue to date in the mainstream media. Where is the Union Tribune's award winning reporters when you need them to look at their own backyard? Nor has there been a call for a thorough investigation of the Federal Reserve by any member of Congress, including Rep. Harry Waxman or Sen. Barbara Boxer. What they need to know is that we know there is something very wrong and needs to be looked at NOW. Email them.— October 9, 2007 5:21 p.m.
Spring Valley Couple Charged by FTC

A Delicious Stew (and the negro problem)
HEY - props Mr. Board. I saw in The Reader an add for online blogs they are now doing. In that add, one of the titles jumped right out at me - STEW and The Negro Problem. Good to hear people drop his name. One of those artists out there that should be well recognized in every scene, yet are not. Huge fan of Stew. I shall now check in on these daily blogs, you have sparked my interest.— October 4, 2007 4:08 p.m.
City Attorney's Office to Probe Computer Unethicality by Mayor's Office
Virtually everybody posting to a news message board in general (and the LA Times in particular) uses a pseudonym. It is patently ridiculous to think that if Aguirre truly had any interest to post about the LA case (which I doubt) that he would post using his full name, and list his official city email address in the post. Chris Reed is either completely dishonest, or so ignorant of how the web works that he has no business posting a blog. This is a man who castigated Aguirre for calling Sanders corrupt without enough backing evidence (chargers of which Aguirre was completely vindicated by subsequent events), yet reports an obviously fake internet post as if it is attributable fact. Of course, unlike news stories at the UT website, the Chris Reed blog and the UT editorial opinions do not allow comments from the public. I am sure that is intentional, because many of their more groundless claims are so easy to refute. BTW, The LA Times has removed the offending comment, so it is no longer even there to be viewed. I am sure that Cris Reed will jump right on the reporting of that fact and clarify the issue in his blog. Right?— October 3, 2007 12:28 p.m.
