What I found to be so refreshing about Rory's outstanding an record breaking performance in the 2011 US Open, is that he will never repeat the mistakes made by the great one before him. Namely, Tiger Woods! Rory has his head properly set on his mighty shoulders and there is no weakness in his character which would ever allow him to stoop to the atrocities which has brought Tiger to his ruin!

Watch CBS News Videos Online This 60 Minutes segment broadcast last Sunday evening sickens me as I'm sure it did the millions of other Americans who viewed it! This disaster can be attributed to one thing, GREED! The greed of Americans for oil to power their autos and the greed of BP managers to ignore damage to the Transocean Deepwater Horizon drilling rig's Blowout Prevention (BOP) equipment!

25 September 1978 The Worst Day in San Diego's History I remember what a beautiful morning it was, Santa Ana conditions, hot and clear! I was on my way home from work when I passed near the intersection of 32nd St & Polk. I was shocked to see the wreckage of the Cessna that collided with the PSA jetliner. A body from the Cessna had demolished the roof over the front door entrance of a house and

I Never Thought that I Would See the Day As I watched the A Celebration of Music From the Civil Rights Movement tonight on PBS I was moved by the fact that within my lifetime the U.S. had elected a man of African-American heritage to it's highest elective office. President Obama has faced opposition from the Republicans in Washington D.C., but none of it has been based upon his race! Another

During President Obama's State of the Union Address I was surprised at the Military Chiefs of Staffs non-response to the following statement he made,"This year, I will work with Congress and our military to finally repeal the law that denies gay Americans the right to serve the country they love because of who they are." After seeing them giving their Commander in Chief standing ovations whenever

Cherry Cake I had never heard of a 'cherry cake' until late Friday night when I heard it mentioned by the dead cowboy's mother in "Brokeback Mountain". Then it seemed to be rather coincidental to hear 'cherry cake' mentioned again by another mother of a dead daughter and granddaughter as I watched the pilot episode of "Caprica" early Saturday morning. I guess I should try to find a cherry cake at

Thank You for an exciting season 2009 San Diego Chargers! I'm sure that all the Monday morning QBs will be searching for scapegoats to place the blame for the stunning play off loss to the New York Jets, however I think the team will admit that they were outplayed by a better prepared opponent. Obviously, Rivers had trouble handling the blitzes as he was unable to move the ball as he had done

I think that President Obama is a very intelligent man! I'm sure that he has read about the history of Afghanistan! I don't understand his reasoning about sending more troops to Afghanistan. Throughout recorded history, every country that has involved itself with Afghanistan's internal affairs has come out a LOSER! Why does Obama think that he will be able to come out a WINNER! Please, Mr. Obama,

I'm usually a very optimistic fellow and I am somewhat concerned about something that has been cropping up in my mind on an almost daily basis for the past two weeks. It is a vile thought to be sure, but it can't be denied that homo sapiens' future on our wondrous planet will come to a terrible end if he doesn't find an alternative for using carbon based fuels for his energy requirements.

I have a beef with San Diego Gas & Electric and I'm going to withhold paying my closing bill until I'm given some sort of satisfaction. My complaint emanates from the fact that I am no longer a customer since my new digs come with gas, electric, water and sewer services included and so I called SDG&E to have them come out and read the meters on September 1st. I talked to the man who read the

Fair Night at Sycuan Casino I went to the Sycuan Casino last night and joined a game of Texas Hold 'Em. It was $3-$6 No Limit game and I must have had at least ten hands dealt that resulted in folding after seeing my hole cards. I folded an A ♠, 4 ♥ that would have won the pot when another two aces were turned over as community cards. After seeing that I resolved to bet my hand the next time

I'm Fast Becoming A CraigsListaholic! Last June I decided that it was time that I splurge a little and buy a new LCD HDTV. I checked out all the models at Frye's, CostCo, Best Buy, Circuit City, Wal-Mart and Target. There were plenty of 26" sized ones for less that $400 (which is what I wanted to spend), however, all the 32" sized ones were all above $500. I pondered my dilemma, "How to get

Is the Torture of Prisoners Moral or Immoral? I think that torture is a perverse form of cruelty whether it be used on human beings or animals. Our courts are filled with laws making cruelty to animals or persons a crime! Therefore, it stands to reason that Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, et.al., are guilty of "Crimes Against Humanity" because they approved the torture of prisoners held at Guantanamo

Huge Load of Shit Today at about 10:30am I was sitting on the john doing my daily duty (which I had missed doing the day before). This was a welcome sign of relief as I was feeling a bit constipated and because of my constipation I had two bowls of raisin bran before going to bed.

It is a great burden to bear and it causes me to suffer great angst each day, each hour, each minute that passes. The only time that it allows me a respite is when I sleep.

President Bush is concerned about how history will judge his years in the White House and has invited many influential people to visit him to give him their views.

I've been reading a PDF version of Brad Hill's Blogging For Dummies (2006) in order to learn how I can use Blogger.com more effectively. I'm hoping that it will say something about using HTML when editing your posts but after reading the first 50 pages it has yet to mention anything about HTML. The first web site that Hill mentions that I found worthy of bookmarking was BlogPulse , which I

WHY I DON'T LIKE CELL PHONES I hate it whenever someone calls me using their cell phone and when I am forced to call someone on their cell phone because they no longer have a land line. I imagine, like one of the current TV advertisements suggest, that some services are better than others, meaning that they cover wider areas and they experience fewer dropped calls. One would think that living

DO YOU HAVE A SOUL BROTHER? I'm not talking about the cultural sort of "Soul Brother" like the late James Brown or Ray Charles, I'm talking about the spiritual "Soul Brother" that I never knew existed until I had made a fifteen minute phone call earlier tonight! It is a wonderful feeling that you know that you have a friend for life! A friend that loves you unconditionally! A friend that you

Andy Rooney's commentary at the end of 60 Minutes tonight about voting and democracy made me wonder if all important decisions that are left to politicians as they currently are, could be put to a vote by the American people, what a different country we would live in. Think about: No war in Iraq, a national health program, a higher minimum wage, etc.

As I watch Tuesday night's "Charlie Rose" program on PBS, I am mystified why Pres. George Bush has decided that the government of Iran is one that he includes in his broad definition of the "Axis of Evil". As it turns out, Iran gave assistance to the U.S. in establishing a new government in Afghanistan, yet the Bush administration has not acknowledged Iran's involvement. Bush has no concept of

New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman had a very insightful interview with Tavis Smiley last night on PBS. Mr. Friedman said that should President Bush's sending of an additional 25,000 troops to Iraq fail to stabilize the violence, Bush will go down in history as a utter failure! I am in complete agreement with this assessment of Bush and I'm sorry to say that his plan of introducing more

FIRE BLAZES AT 3623 INDIA STREET I awoke this morning to the sound of fire engine sirens at about 5:30 AM today. I got dressed and walked down India Street to see what was going on. As soon as I reached India I could see there was a huge fire burning a couple of blocks away. There were about five or six fire trucks at the scene by this time, however they must have just arrived as I could see

As I watched the Oakland Raiders at the San Diego Chargers NFL game I was upset by color analyst Randy Cross's completely biased comments against the Chargers after a controversial illegal forward pass ruling by the referee during the second half. This is not the first time that Cross has expressed his preferences for the Raiders when they have played the Chargers and I think that CBS owes an

I am very fortunate in that I have a sizeable stock porfolio which I am able to meet my needs by the quarterly dividends that accrue. Some of my friends are aware of my good fortune and it seems whenever they find themselves in financial difficulty, they will ask me for a timely loan. I wouldn't mind loaning them the money if it wasn't so fucking hard to get them to pay me back! As a matter of

I wrote an email to the KPBS show "Full Focus" last night making the suggestion that MCRD is the logical choice for the expansion of Lindberg Field rather than relocating it to the Marine Air Base at Miramar. To my surprise, Gloria Penner, the host of "Full Focus", read my email on tonight's show. Word for word!

I do not wish to subtract anything when it comes to the treatment of our wounded soldiers fighting an unwinable war in Iraq, but I would like you to ponder this for a moment: Think about how the federal government could improve the lives of all Americans if we weren't wasting billions of dollars in Iraq?

Tonight's episode made some glaring facts known to me that I had no idea existed.

Now that it is football season I have a little game that I play when I watch a televised game. Some people may thing that it is racist but I honestly don't think it is racist at all, if anything, I think that it has do to with America's cultural heritage.  The game is to guess which race that the interviewed player is without looking at the TV screen.  In other words, can you tell what a person's

After finding one on the corner of 7th & Broadway, I decided to pedal down to Petco Park (home of the Padres). I entered the "Park within the Park" area and checked out the view from the bleachers.

As I walked across the busy intersection of Washington & India Streets with a green light, I had to jump out of the way of an oncoming automobile as it came to a screeching halt!

He was too involved with his conversation to

There is a tentative cease fire between Israel and Lebanon. U.N. troops should be taking control over northern Lebanon after Israeli troops complete their withdrawal sometime tomorrow. Hopefully, calmer heads will prevail! What I fail to understand about this is why U.S. President Bush is so quick to claim this as a victory for Israel . Hezballah claims it as a victory over Israel.
