That's right

I'm overqualified

I like to point out that mediocrity seems to rise to the top -- or at least near the top -- in the newspaper business. Today's evidence of that is the editor who assigned/allowed-to-be-published this story. All you need to read is the headline and summary graf. Box hits child as toy store shelf falls […]

Yeah, me too

From Mark Goldblatt's review of New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd's latest bile in book form: (Since Dowd's experience figures so prominently throughout her book, allow me a personal aside here: Why are women so often drawn to grand, totalizing theories to make sense of their individual regrets? I'm roughly Dowd's age and have never […]

Need a job?

I'm not hiring, but the San Diego Union-Tribune is. Sorry, these aren't newsroom positions, but for those of you who are good salesmen/women, the Union-Tribune can be a good place to work. Benefits are great, including an employer-match 401(k). So, why am I doing free advertising for my employer? Apparently they're having a hard time […]

A lot like real life

Hugh Hewitt runs a little fantasy blogger draft and -- you guessed it -- no one picks me up. I guess I will continue to operate as an undrafted free agent.

Justice done

It's almost assured that Adrian Comacho will spend the rest of his too-long life on death row after a jury yesterday recommended the death penalty. Judges rarely depart from the jury's recommendation on life in prison or death, and this isn't a case where that's likely to occur. Full disclosure: I knew Officer Tony Zeppetella. […]

My Black Friday experience

So, I got up this morning shortly before the crack of noon and headed over to GameCrazy to pick up a video game that they had on sale -- 50 percent off. It's not at all busy, but I walk in and ask for the game. The clerk gets it off the shelf, turns around, […]

Mission failure

I wasn't trying really hard, but I didn't manage to pick up an Xbox 360 today. Circuit City was apparently sold out within 15 minutes of opening as was Fry's Electronics. I read some surprising reports during the day that Costco had actually got some units on the first day -- usually, it seems to […]

Wackos

I went out to get a late bite to eat and decided to swing by a few stores to see if there were in fact lines forming for today's launch of the Xbox 360. Sure enough, there are about 20-odd people (each) camped outside the Circuit City, Target and Toys R Us in Escondido. I'm […]

First step

A Vista jury found Adrian Camacho guilty yesterday of the premeditated murder of Tony Zeppetella. I'm relieved and happy that justice was done. The jury will now decide whether to sentence Camacho to death -- a fate he richly deserves. Pray for Zeppetella's widow, Jamie, as she will be testifying in the penalty phase of […]
