The Supreme Court ruled unanimously today that if law schools want to continue cashing checks from the federal government, then they have to treat military recruiters the same as they do other businesses. As I noted at the time, it never really looked like the law schools were going to win this one. I was […]
I'm not watching them, though I did briefly find myself catching a glimpse when I flipped by and thought I had found a Wallace & Gromit cartoon to watch. It turns out it was the Academy Awards and I kept watching long enough to see Reese Witherspoon (hubba, hubba) announce that Wallace & Gromit had […]
The San Diego Union-Tribune has an article in today's paper on a local woman's efforts to ban billboard advertising of gun shows. She sees the violence guns have brought to her community, so the last thing Bevelynn Bravo wants is for them to be advertised around her neighborhood. In her five-year crusade, Bravo has tried […]
Randy "Duke" Cunningham was sentenced to 100 months in prison at federal court in downtown San Diego Friday afternoon. At the very least, felony convictions appear to be good for the waistline.

This is the Aztecs first conference championship since 1978, when they were in the defunct Pacific Coast Athletic Association. It was not, as the I-D-10-T on the radio said, their first conference […]
Sanity prevailed Tuesday night and the La Mesa City Council retracted the threatening letter that they had sent to resident Chris Tanner after he had the audacity to suggest the council might be in the pockets of developers. (You can find my previous posts on this subject here and here.) At last night's meeting, several […]
During Wednesday's hearing on the Texas redistricting plan, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg made a visit, as the Washington Post's Dana Milbank put it, to the "land of nod." If I were arguing the case before the court today, I'd be angry that a Justice who is supposed to decide the case can't be bothered to […]
Via Best of the Web Today we have this funny bit from New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd who is in Australia promoting her book, "Are Men Necessary?" The newspaper is allowing men to post brief, singles-ad type comments in an attempt to woo the saucy Ms. Dowd ... and this one is by far […]
