Scripps Florida gets over $1 million per subsidized job
Florida has terminal cancer called BP Oil Spill Syndrome. Good riddance and they will get what they deserve. They will reminisce about San Diego's beaches as they sit on oily sand treating strange skin blemishes coughing up blood.— June 2, 2011 12:15 p.m.
San Diego's water’s monopoly
Privatizing the water would be great for San Diego. In Bolivia it led to the election of Evo Morales and the nationalization of their natural resources. That made funds available to take care of the citizens of the country instead of shareholders of the foreign corporations doing the looting. Something similar might happen here. When can we start?— February 9, 2011 10:43 p.m.
Tight Spot
The kind of video you rent and fast forward through.— October 7, 2010 7:22 a.m.
Today in the Backyard
San Diego is nice but I don't miss it. I've kayak surfed most places on the coast from Mission Beach to Long Beach, Washington. Often around bird rock, two rides at Wind and Sea, one at Swami's, whole days at Steamer Lane in Santa Cruz and Bolinas. I won't count the days at San Onofre State Beach because it sort of sucks. If you ever travel north stop in Gold Beach and Port Orford and ask around. There are some great surf spots and the board surfers are so few that we all get along fine. There is generally a tight lineup and then a kayak and a SUP out catching the early breakers. The world looks fine from the water here. Roy Rousseau, Gold Beach— May 6, 2010 6:38 p.m.
Borrego Springs – a town left dry
If the situation gets any better in Borrego I may drive down from Oregon with my dogs and mountain bike and camp in the dessert for the winter like I used to.— February 11, 2010 6:56 a.m.
Where a University of San Diego degree leads
And our government just finished a program to inject mercury into all the toddlers in the country.— January 21, 2010 5 p.m.
I never thought I'd become a welfare queen
TIP: Buy yourself a folding wheelchair at a thrift store. Stock it with drinks, snacks and lots of reading materials. I came up with this years ago to deal with lines at the DMV. Loan it to friends.— January 6, 2010 8:13 p.m.
Get Out There and Try It
I surf a kayak and now a Kaos sit-on-top in Gold Beach, Oregon. The advantage is that you easily paddle to meet a shifting swell instead of sitting in a lineup waiting for a wave to come to you. I simply move around to avoid conflict with local surfers and often get the biggest ride. In our cold water I wear a wetsuit bottom and booties plus a spring top and thrift store cloth cap with visor and mostly stay dry and warm. I've spent a lot of time in San Diego water.(San Onofre, Cardiff, bird rock, La Jolla shores, Mission Beach. I waited around and snaked rides at both Swammies and Wind and Sea.) We have enough warm days and good surf here to satisfy me now. Roy Rousseau— November 4, 2009 6:17 p.m.
Viva la Restitution
Che's speech to the UN that imperialism makes bloodthirsty killers of men is as apt today for Americans as it was then. The execution of Batiste's murderers after fair trials insured that the CIA wouldn't be able to engineer Eisenhower's Guatemala style coup (which Che witnessed firsthand) in Cuba. Later developments in Latin America proved him correct and today we see El Salvador finally freed from Chichita Banana-Bush domination. The presence of the M13 gangs in America are blow back from Reagan's policies in the 1980's so enjoy them! They're here because we went there.— March 18, 2009 7:42 p.m.
Porking out
Deja Vu. In the 60's it was jewry shops on Broadway selling diamond rings on credit to recruits.— March 18, 2009 7:13 p.m.
