Debate Questions for Mayor’s Race
This is a bit of a re-run of a previous post, but with all the focus and hoopla on filthy-Filner and the who’s in and who’s out of the campaign, we have lost sight of the fact that America’s Finest City still has challenges. Here is an update on what I would ask the mayoral candidates in a debate. Will …
PC 101: How’s my Spanish?
To some, apparently, it’s not okay to speak Spanish if you’re a Republican. If you’re a sexual harasser, Spanish is fine as long as you’re also a Democrat. http://www.utsandiego.com/news/2013/sep/04/kevin-faulconer-spanish-language-conversation/

Carl DeMaio today re-affirmed his commitment to become San Diego’s next voice in the US Congress.

Principles Matter
Guest Commentary by Sage Naumann If the Bob Filner saga taught us anything, it’s that principles matter. Those who are elected to public office are there to exercise a set of principles, and among these are selflessness and honesty. Unfortunately, the Bob Filner saga overshadowed another disappointing episode in Carlsbad Unified, where one of our trustees broke the trust of …

SDRostra oldie-goldie — Filner’s extensive commie connections
Just for fun, here’s the link to one of my PREVIOUS posts on SDRostra — detailing Bob Filner’s extensive connections with and sympathy for socialists and communists. The reader comments afterwards were fun, especially from Rolland with CityBeat (who announced that this was a good time for him to put his fingers in his ears so he couldn’t hear me …
My “Modern Family” – Helping Me Make The Decision
I’m spending the weekend with my family weighing an important decision. No decision made yet!
Politico says DeMaio to run for mayor
In an article posted today, Politico reports Carl DeMaio “is ditching his campaign for Congress to run for San Diego mayor.” To be clear, the Politico article cites a “source with direct knowledge” of DeMaio’s decision. That could be someone with direct knowledge, or someone Politico thinks has direct knowledge. But it appears this is the first publication to report …
97% of the nation’s net job creation in the last 6 months is part-time work
I was reminded this morning of an unsettling (to put it mildly!) unemployment figure that crossed my desk early last month from a reputable source. This report slipped between the digital cracks in my computer, but now I’m getting it out there. Here’s a salient excerpt summarizing this news, from a Forbes article: “Over the last six months, of the …

I added this new item to my always-upbeat “CA vs. the Other States” fact sheet. www.TinyURL.com/CA-vs-other-states “California has the 2nd highest total annual cost of owning a car — $3,966. That’s $765 higher than national average.” http://www.bankrate.com/finance/auto/car-ownership-costs-by-state.aspx
Bipartisanship is Dead
The UT ran an article about Nathan Fletcher’s bipartisan support. In the article, they cite only one Republican supporter, Duane Roth. Yes, the recently deceased Duane Roth.
Behind the scenes on Carl and Kevin
Many of our local media friends believe Carl DeMaio will be the pick from the right for San Diego mayor. Meaning no one has reported what’s really happening behind the scenes. Just about every deep-pocket center-right power player in town is encouraging both Kevin Faulconer and Carl DeMaio. Well, encouraging Faulconer in the mayor’s race, while pushing for DeMaio to …
Your Invitation to Filner going away celebration – Syria-ously

Mr. President, You Best Not Invade Syria Without Permission From Congress…Or Else…
…or else you’ll get away with it. It’s pointless for me to quote the Constitution about which branch of government has the authority to wage war and which branch prosecutes it. It’s pointless to remind everyone that the War Powers Act was designed to repel a direct threat to American national interest. It’s pointless to say that President Obama should …
SD media turns pathetic “fast food strike” rally (without strikers) into successful event
The Great San Diego Fast Food Strike is now done. Check the results of this much-ballyhooed event, as breathlessly reported by the U-T. http://www.utsandiego.com/news/2013/aug/29/fastfood-mcdonalds-wendys-burgers-cheese-jobs/ In a city of 1.3+ million people, there was ONE well-orchestrated “picketing” protest. But few fast food workers were present in the truly pathetic 100 person San Diego turnout. Indeed, a “pull back” shot would have …

CA business moves to TX, grows 460% in revenue in 4 years – 5 employees became 70+ employees
Four years ago California software entrepreneur Don Fournes moved his small San Francisco business to Texas. He saw his revenues explode 460% since then and now employs 70 people in Texas. Doubtless Jerry Brown will blame it all on Prop 13. Or the Koch brothers. Or some vast right wing conspiracy. Not to mention George Bush II. Whatever, dude. ========== …
