One of San Diego’s own, is making headlines this week. An interesting profile of ex-Navy SEAL Brent Gleesen:
Brent Gleesen served four years as a Navy SEAL and participated in more than 100 combat missions in Iraq and Africa. After being honorably discharged, he went to graduate school at the University of San Diego, where he […]
Looks like the Pacific has claimed another victim this year off the beaches of La Jolla. I am sorry for the family. But, there is probably not a better way to go, then diving off the shores of La Jolla, CA.
Authorities are working to determine what caused the death of a Pacific Beach man while […]
This is why I love politics and beaurocracy. Silly and stupid things like the argument that some judge and others are making about the bacteria levels in the Children’s Pool and who is responsible for them. We all know that the seals are ultimately “responsible” for the bacteria levels being as high as they are. […]
The latest polls show that the Bush approval rating is the lowest it has ever been. The reason may be because of his lack of “real” American moral values. Some of these values that Americans have held so dear in the past are demonstrated in the following apropos quotes and prayer. When measured against these […]
Today (10-15-05) a story appeared in the Times regarding a community forum with Filner and Morrow. When I read the comments made by Filner on how he would improve the problem with illegal immigration, I laughed. Here is what he wants to do:
Filner said Morrow and others who oppose illegal immigration should instead be looking […]
Ever since some pinheads somewhere came up with the crazy idea, cameras tied into traffic lights have been popping up at intersections throughout North County.
Most places in North County have them; San Marcos does not, and likely won’t — thank goodness.
Some folks swear by them as lifesavers and say the hell with the price […]
The good folks in Escondido must be either:
Filthy rich
Asleep at the switch
Or dead
Honestly … As noted before (see prior post) their council members give themselves 6 percent raises effective December 2006 and their city manager and attorney get huge 28 percent boosts as well and not so much as a peep nor a Letter to […]
Let me try and get this straight.
Read this from the North County Times wire services: (here) Kind of makes you think there were equal numbers of pro-war and anti-war protesters yesterday (Sept. 24) in San Diego, right? In fact, the title says “Anti-war protestors greeted by equal number of pro-troop supporters”. Seems clear enough.
The […]
The dilemma about the never-ending problem of homelessness has popped up yet again in Vista.
Former Mayor Gloria McClellan invoked all meanings possible when she used to call Vista the “Heart of North County” — she was a tireless campaigner for the homeless. She was largely responsible for Vistans now doing more than their fair […]
I’m beginning to think the folks Escondido are all either flush with cash or asleep at the wheel: Can you believe their money management? I don’t get it.
Council members just gave themselves — well, actually, whoever is in office after the elections in November 2006 — a pay raise of 6 percent and the mayor […]
