Filner did all the right things the wrong way
Verrrrry interrresting poll on the Reader main page: 72% of the people said they dated someone from work. The mind reals in wondering how many of the men "asked" to hold their date's hand. Then asked if they could kiss them. Then asked if they could put their hand down their shirt. Then asked you know what so they could get to the you know what. I bet all the men calling Filner a sexual harrasser were askers aftger they got swatted down a couple times. They are probably askers today. Or they stay away from the fairest sex and are content to sit behind the computer all day making comments about sexual harrassment. The other type of man is a man, reads the signs and makes advancements on instinct and reading the signs. A no is a no. Filthy Fil even knew that. He might have been too agressive in a pervy way - because he is not a young and good looking guy - but he is not a rapist. He was a single guy out fishing. But all these weird guys think that he is depraved. They are timid around women. And women love that.— July 31, 2013 4:09 p.m.
Ignoring friends' advice got Filner into trouble
Don - let me. rdotinga: There is a game called grab ass. Boys and girls start playing it about in the 7th grade. Some girls don't stop playing it until they are married, some before 10th grade, some never (a small minority). Men never want to stop playing it. They might get married and stop (or not), but unless they are gay, men tend to have a stronger tendency toward playing grab ass in one form or another, no matter how old they get to be. Especially if they are single. You see: women are beautiful. And some women are willng to play grab ass as they get older as well. How do they find each other? Well, you might ask for a kiss. You might say something "offensive." But if you're a young and attractive enough guy, what's offensive might be considered "flirtation. (Face it: we don't know any more because we are old guys who spend our time on computers to make us feel smart and involved.) There is no doubt that the mayor crossed some lines, And if someone had their job threatend for not going along with his sexy ways, I think that should be enough to put his old skanky ass in jail. He didn't know when to stop playing grab ass. I guess nobody told him directly. A long career in congress and no one has ever called him out until the local politicos that used to run this city started gettng uncomfortable because they see there aspirations drying up with all the attention being put on the citizens. That is an odd coinkydink. If the mayor was such a big problem, those women accusing him would have ratted on him a long time ago. It was a permissive environment. Right or wrong. Now that so many women know that he's a sex maniac and received a grope or kiss, why aren't the women coming forward to protect other women? He must not have been that much of a problem. Of course he could be shooed away. He no doubt was. (The big perv) But Filner did not rape anybody. And that is what is almost being implied. As far as terms being thrown around in the media, Filner is obviously more guilty of "fanny slapping" than "sexual assault". I saw that one used on the UT website. The paper of record. Read enough of anything and you end up believing it, That is just how we work. I'm suggesting that everybody calm down and consider other sets of facts. And consider who you're talking to when you talk to Don Bauder. He's not just Don Bauder. He is an old guy who has been around and seen things change. It's called perspective. These whippersnappers.— July 16, 2013 9:59 p.m.
Emails show Doug Manchester in no rush in bringing Grand Del Mar to code
what sucks is Manchester is havng a good time with all his money. Most rich ass SOBs are miserrable trying protect it. He is not bothered at all by his haterz. He seems to thrive in it. All the cars, hot women, and helicopters are not going to waste. I bet you poor basterds wish you could have a slice of his pie.— July 16, 2013 8:45 p.m.
Carl gets the rake
And I agree with you. Was being fecetious (heavy sarcasm is my trade!!) I would cast my vote for Bob Filner three times over before givng a vote for any of the usual clowns/turds that surface (talkin to you now Sanders!!). SD gub-ment is long long overdo for ANY type of shake up. So he sometimes presses the wrong buttons. So he likes the ladies. Define sexual harassment, Donna Frizzle!!— July 10, 2013 7:06 p.m.
Carl gets the rake
Yeah but not Carl. He just wants to be there for the peeps of this fair city. Checkout his statement today after poor old Big Boner Bob Fiilthy Filner got thrown under the bus by Donna Frizzle Fryed. You and I may not think we deserve this cast of characters running this beeyooteefull crazy lipo-injected pothead fake ass boobie town. But we do. We do. "As much as the outcome of the November election disappointed me, I had hoped that Bob would have been a good Mayor - and urged my supporters to give him time and be open to supporting and helping him. Sadly, the evidence is mounting that Bob Filner is simply incapable of leading our city. Bob Filner has bought such strife and turmoil to City Hall that we are seeing important issues that matter most to San Diegans being pushed to the side. This is no way to govern a city - San Diego deserves better. I appreciate the emails and calls! I want you to know I'm listening! I'm discussing several ideas with supporters and civic leaders on how we can best help stabilize the situation and help our city move past this chaos. As soon as we have a plan of action, I'll re-connect with you."— July 10, 2013 6:47 p.m.
City accused of subverting public records law in lawsuit over Convention Center expansion
Now there is the grin of a smug greedy evil self satified white man if ever I saw one. Someone recently sang "Every man ends up with a face that he deserves." Uh huh.— July 10, 2013 12:18 p.m.
Jeff Olson, the Mad Chalker, prosecuted by city attorney for words in front of Bank Of America
I meant to leave my account with Bank of Amerika back in the day when Olsen was protesting and there was all the protesting but I didnt. Last week I did. F-U Banks of Amerika!!— July 9, 2013 2:31 p.m.
Election day in Tijuana brings irregularities
Hey you guys might missed this statement - "Baja state officials summed up the jornada electoral (election day) Sunday as essentially tranquila, calm, as the people elected a new governor, deputies, and other state and local politicos." Calm yourselves!! HAH HAH! Viva Mexico!— July 9, 2013 2:17 p.m.
Meth trafficker sentenced to prison

Meth trafficker sentenced to prison
The coolest thing I ever did on metth was race slot cars all night long in someones garage in Mira Mesa. We got around to lightng the cars on fire with rubber cement. It was a afterparty the night we went to see Junkyard at the Bacchanal. It was in the 80s. Remember all that cool stuff? No? You reeeeaally missed it!!— March 19, 2013 4:53 p.m.
