Handicapping the Poway City Council race
There are two spots available in the November election for Poway City Council. One seat is currently held by Jim Cunningham and the other is open due to Councilmember Merrilee Boyack’s decision to not seek reelection.

Randy Newman sings the race card for the left
It is very sad the left has decided the only way to win this presidential election is to play the race card. I’ve mentioned this in a previous post. But what got me going today is the new Randy Newman song, “I’m Dreaming”– where he sings of voting for a “white” president. I hope this song insults everyone on all …

Most Charger fans not SD city residents
Chargers rule! What a whupping. Battle on! I sure enjoyed the Titans game. One interesting aspect struck me in the U-T reader letters (“Voices”) on the game. There were six letters published.

But Ballotpedia “edit trolls” can alter or omit facts to suit their purposes. I just got involed in one such Ballotpedia situation on a California proposition. Ballotpedia is very similar to Wikipedia in operation. Hence caution is advised. …
