(Update in section toward the end about the alleged golf course view.) As most Rostrafarians probably know, the New York Times has corrected two more errors in its article implying improper financial dealings by Rep. Darrell Issa. But the paper is still far from admitting the truth that the story is rotten at its core, and refuses to retract it. …
Reader’s Matt Potter kids Lori Saldaña about her campaign plans for FOUR different elective offices, 2009-2011!
Ace reporter Matt Potter of the San Diego Reader kids Lori Saldaña this week about her varying campaign plans for four different offices, 2009-2011. Potter titled it, “Indecision, 2012”. Reason?

Great “Free to Choose” follow-up on TV across the nation — except in San Diego
“Free to Choose,” the classic TV mini-series starring Milton Friedman (based on Friedman’s seminal tome with the same title) aired across the nation on public broadcasting some 30 years ago. While somewhat dated, the piece is well worth watching (or rewatching) and is available free “on demand” online at http://www.freetochoose.tv/ Now a follow-up TV documentary has been produced, to see how …
Leftist San Diego City Beat Reporter Fails to Uphold Objectivity, Villifies “Restoring Courage” Events
Some in the media are terrified to learn that different groups can come together and support Israel. That is the case with San Diego City Beat reporter Dave Maass, who slammed Glenn Beck, his “Restoring Courage” event in Jerusalem, our Restoring Courage U.S. movement, and our participating groups. Defending Israel transcends above ideological lines, religious beliefs, and borders. It is …
Restore Courage and Stand with Israel — The Event
On Wednesday, hundreds of San Diegans gathered to watch a delayed broadcast of Glenn Beck’s “Stand With Israel” event, which took place in Jerusalem.

GOP Solid in North County Assembly Districts
North San Diego County – Now that the State redistricting process has been completed, it is apparent that Republican strongholds exist at least in the new North County Assembly Districts. With voter registrations as high as 48% Republican in some areas to only 26% Democrat, the North County region can be a base for conservative ideals and principles to …
Teacher pension fund joins California auditor’s risk list
Mercury News: Teacher pension fund joins California auditor’s risk list Apparently another thing you can thank our “fine” elected officials in Sacramento for, since “… changes to CalSTRS funding require action by the state Legislature.” The gutless wonders in Sacramento can’t balance a budget unless they use overly optimistic revenue projections and a lot of smoke and mirrors. I don’t …

Save a San Diego Surfer…Eat Shark Fin Soup!

Dumanis Disqualifies Herself
Bonnie Dumanis was interviewed by the U-T editorial board today. Ricky Young, @sdutYoung on Twitter, has a couple of key quotes. Dumanis to U-T edit board, asked about Prop D, says she voted but ”My vote is personal” Dumanis says she doesn’t remember Prop 23, last fall’s effort to undo AB32, so doesn’t know how she might have voted. Gustafson …
Why I Support CPRI
This morning I announced my full support for the Comprehensive Pension Reform initiative which will appear on the June ballot next year. I was pleased to sign the petition to place the initiative on the ballot, and I encourage every voter in the City of San Diego to do the same. I’m very proud to stand with Mayor Sanders, City …
Dumanis “Changes Mind” on Pension Reform
In what can only be described as a San Diego mayoral campaign continuing to sputter while searching for a focus (any focus), yesterday Bonnie Dumanis announced that she flip-flopped her position on the Comprehensive Pension Reform Initiative. She is now in support. Not only did her position change for no apparent reason other than she figures she can’t win while …
David Weigel’s Feeble Defense of NYT’s Lichtblau, Plus Issa/Bardella Conspiracy Theory!
David Weigel, the former conservative movement columnist for the Washington Post, is running interference for Eric Lichtblau of the New York Times. Lichtblau authored the falsified New York Times article claiming Darrell Issa was engaging in business practices that led to profits improperly tied to his position as a Congressman. Weigel’s column in Slate attempts to dispute Issa’s recent suggestion …
Call box use drops, funding keeps on growing
It’s not about getting rid of call boxes, but trying to either fix or eliminate a government program that has lost its relevancy. After our election and subsequent appointment to the SAFE Board, Councilmember Alvarez and I have been questioning and scrutinizing the practices of the San Diego SAFE organization. I am proud to announce that we have been working …
Citizen Cain …. Herman Cain wows San Diego fundraising Event hosted by Judge Larry Stirling (ret.)

San Diego Mayoral Candidates: Debate This
As originally posted on The Flash Report. A debate’s raging in San Diego. A debate over debates. It’s a curious thing. The moment San Diego mayoral candidate Councilman Carl DeMaio turned down a Voice of San Diego hosted candidates debate, among others already accepted by Assemblyman Nathan Fletcher and Congressman Bob Filner, suddenly he was the target of much speculation …

Twist, But No Exoneration, For Eric Lichtblau’s NYT Story About Darrell Issa
NOTE: I’m assuming you already know about last week’s New York Times article on Rep. Darrell Issa by Eric Lichtblau. The article accused the Vista Republican of unseemly financial practices that took advantage of his public office. If you aren’t up to speed, go read the original NYT article, along with my previous posts about the article. ————————- A limited …
