The call to “civil discourse” was never anything more than a call to censorship of the right. The local “progressive” blog Two Cathedrals objected to my use of “hitmen.” I used it to describe the men of the left who are coming after Darrell Issa. Never mind that the liberal allies of these particular operatives have bragged that Averell “Ace” …
The hitmen of the left coming after Issa — Are they invincible?
Since Representative Darrell Issa became Chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, he has become an obsession of the left. This isn’t one of their happy obsessions (bankrupting the country or driving around in old Volvos) but one of their angry ones (like when they’d camp outside GW’s ranch in Crawford, TX ). The left is giddy …

PETA protests new Shamu show at SD Sea World, but leaves question unanswered
Four members of PETA who dressed up in Orca whale costumes were arrested yesterday at San Diego’s Sea World when they laid in the middle of Sea World Drive for at least an hour blocking traffic. Protest aside, PETA leaves a key question unanswered: where else is an orca whale going to get a job? Shamu is gainfully employed in …
Representative Issa’s PR machine hits a snag known as “The New Yorker”
Presumably The New Yorker’s Ryan Lizza told Darrell Issa that he was going to do an article about him, with or without him… or at least implied as much. Issa would have been better off going the “without” route. In an article ironically titled “Don’t Look Back“, writer Ryan Lizza does nothing but look back. Now that Issa is the …
San Diego Stays classy: Make Lawsuits, not bombs on Mt. Soledad
In response to the Ninth Circuit of Appeals recent decision that the cross atop Mt. Soledad is unconstitutional, hundreds showed up to support the war memorial on Saturday. They were entreated to an inspirational and humbling program. War veterans spoke, including a survivor of the Pearl Harbor attack. He had to be helped both onto and off of the stage, …
A Pious Bob Filner talks and talks… but not about his own outbursts
San Diego’s Democratic Congressman Bob Filner chatted with Nancy Cordes on CBS about “political discourse.” He alleges that he was threatened in the last election cycle. “Like many of us across the country – including Gabby (Gabrielle Giffords) – we had, I’ll just lump them together as Tea Party opponents, people who went really beyond the bounds of political discourse,” …
San Diego and Imperial Counties Labor Council Offers an Enemies List and a Parade
Brothers and Sisters (yes, this is how Secretary-Treasurer Lorena Gonzalez actually addresses union members in her message): Did you know the San Diego and Imperial Counties Labor Council actually has an enemies list? The businesses with which they have grievances are described as “unfair employers and adversaries of the labor movement” on their Do Not Patronize page. ‘Adversaries’ is such …
Win One for “The Gipper” in San Diego
In an effort to recognize the 20th century’s greatest president, public support is being generated to name a San Diego bridge after President Ronald Reagan. The three bridges that have been identified as potential naming opportunities are: 1) The Camino San Bernardo overpass at Camino San Bernardo and Camino Del Norte 2) The pedestrian bridge at the southern side of …
