U-T To Get Plans for New Structure Feb. 13; Newsroom To Get New Plans Next Day
Don: This guy Braun best not plan on receiving a gold retirement watch from Fat Boy if he keeps poking at Mayor Republican and doesn't bash Aguirre - seems like a decent journalist, so for sure he won't survive at the UT. Best— February 14, 2008 1:07 p.m.

Response to post #15: All the more reason why this year, of all years, we have to finally clean house in San Diego. Best, (yet another sdblogger)— February 14, 2008 12:56 p.m.
San Diego future without water
Frye is correct in her wording, "fecal politics". By slapping the dismissive "toilet to tap" label on water recovery, the UT and others effectively delayed its adoption by a decade. Our leaders aren't ignorant only of economics, ethics, and the law. They're also mostly ignorant of the very geography and climate in which we live. The best evidence of this is Peters' outrageous water wastage, which actually increased after it was made public. Such people are not leaders, and should be hounded from the spotlight, to be replaced with those who actually care about our future. As the article notes, we're dumping far too much fresh drinking water on our lawns to nourish plants that don't belong here. The Nat. Geographic article makes it clear that all our long-term water supply plans are based on faulty assumptions built on anomalous data. This goes on the list for candidates: * What are your plans for ensuring water supplies past 2020? Any candidate who doesn't have a credible answer, with identified funding, should be disqualified from consideration. Best, (yet another sdblogger)— February 13, 2008 9:27 p.m.
Brian's singsong
Brian Bilbray is on my list of people to campaign against this year. He's got a strong challenger, and Bilbray's immigrant bashing won't save him this time. I'm hoping for the 50th changing hands this election, and it sure looks like the Republican leadership is worried about the same thing. Stay tuned... Bye Bye, Bilbray..!!

San Diego future without water
Don, This article highlights exactly why I get so incensed when people argue we need to take radical steps to counter manmade global warming (you have done that yourself). There is much politicizing and dubious science behind global warming, which enables industrialists and big business republicans to pooh-pooh it. If we drop the controversial global warming argument, we are left with some basic facts: 1) Our reliance on oil is destroying our economy and enriching our enemies in the middle east. Cultivating alternative energy (including clean coal and nuclear) and driving electric cars will dramatically improve our political situation and the long term health of our economy. 2) Switching away from gas cars will dramtically improve our air quality. 3) We have a looming water crisis due to overpopulation in a dry area. I fear that the global warming movement has actually stalled progress on the important issues that need addressing by making it a left/right political fight, when the real issues have nothing to do with global warming.— February 13, 2008 2:08 p.m.

San Diego future without water
Please don't put an age to it. I am just over forty, and am perfectly aware of how corrupt our local government and newspaper are, and vote accordingly. My parents are in their seventies, drive an electric car and installed solar panels on the roof of their house. They know the solar panels probably won't pay for themselves in their lifetime but they did it anyway because they wanted to help drive the technology that we desperately need. Their are plenty of under 40 voters who are either apathetic or are trying themselves to take what they can and screw the future.— February 13, 2008 1:54 p.m.

Chuck Norris and the Lottery
I agree. Usually people like him will wind up with nothing in 5 years anyway. The town should be happy because he'll probably leave and go start a new life. Maybe in Thailand.— February 13, 2008 11:20 a.m.
