Campaign primer for early local candidates

Enjoyed this one! The laugh is that everyone that enters politics has had this told to them at some point yet they still seem personnaly surprised and hurt when it happens.

Law enforcers learn to handle mentally ill

Wow, what a short trip from better training for our Police to an impending Russian take-over. Someone has missed their meds.

Stakes rising in N. Korean situation

Never been real fond of the whole 'fair fight" or "you hit me first" concept. They don't seem concerned about what irritates us. Unless we plan on being isolationists or just the biggest sissy on the block it's time we paid attention to the global bullies and extortionists (give me food or i start a war) instead of the no running water, no internet folks we keep kicking around. If we're going to be out there, let`s be something other than a speed bump.

Squawk of the day - March 4, 2013

If you were "disappointed' why didn't you say something, get some names or even descriptions of who were doing it. Nope, instead we get the old "guess what I saw" in the squawk box...not "here's what I did". If you didn't care enough to say something for the benifit of the cold, weary runners still out there on Sat why start playing the banjo on Monday morning? Must have been someone else's job......

ASU responds to Charles' Foundation statements

Everything that ASU said on the record up until this recent "version" said they knew it was for the purpose Mr. Charles intended but they were trying to raise additional funds before the project could start.

Phillip Phillips' mother charged

Pretty sad when folks see a person in what has to be the most embarrasing, distressing position they have ever found themselves in and all they think about is how to twist the knife and give their opinion on why they deserved it.

Getting even with us for not liking yesterday's squwak.

BOE considers MCLB charter school

A key thing in the article, the base has not asked for this. Parents on base are making education decisions based on availability as I am sure any parent would, and since other counties with more successful or safer programs are available they use them as an individual family decision even if it means money out of their pocket. Bringing up the "BRAC" word is a scare tactic to make folks jump. We are in the process of returning from 10 years of war. All the USMC's equipment will be funneled thru here and Barstow for repair and return to duty as required. Adding a perception that if we don't do this, we'll lose the base cause Brac hates DCSS...there are better plots in a Nancy Drew mystery.
