They should start by forcibly sterilizing all convicted felons. Murderers, rapists and yes, even Enron CEOs.

These three are a collective group of scumbags. What's worse is that the Board of Behavioral Sciences has yet to suspend Jeanne Blomfield's MFCC license:

There is a dark side to Portland's bike-heavy populace: cops with a vendetta against cyclists:

When is the last time you were tackled out of your car and tasered until you pissed yourself for having a taillight out?

Just as there are double fine zones for construction areas, there should be "lose your license for a year" zones. 154 should be one of them.

Making people walk or take the bus for a year would deter reckless driving in the way a pathetic $100 fine never will.

Give us a Target and a Kohls and Ventura can keep their opera. Some things are important!

California is sadly behind most of the rest of the country on this issue. And only in America could we continue to bury our heads in the sand while cheering on professional sports teams like the redskins and the braves and claim that tomahawk chants and the "kill the redskins" cries are all in the spirit of "honoring" native tribes.

However, the real irony is that while the school board voted "to remove all Native American images and icons from school property" apparently that same rule doesn't apply to the CUSD logo which can be seen here, complete with it's caricaturish cigar-store Indian head on the top:

Both SB and Goleta need to enforce their existing rules for affordable housing. I'm an advocate for affordable housing but not if it turns into a profit lottery whereby owners can simply rent out the unit for huge subsidized profits.

Violating affordability rules should be a zero tolerance policy: if you rent, your unit is foreclosed on and sold and you forfeit 50% of any earned equity.

The county could instantly create much more affordable housing for those who need it simply by enforcing their existing rules and kicking out those who abuse the system.

Apparently guys don't even need to bring food and water. If you sit on the teeter-totter looking pathetic enough, some mom will invariably be by with goldfish crackers and grapes.

"According to supporters of Frimpong (he never testified in court so his side has never been told from his mouth directly), the girl made advances at Frimpong, which he denied because he was turned off by the woman’s smoking habit and because she had a tongue ring."

Wonderful. So he gets to invoke his right not to testify but takes the cowardly approach of letting his friends tell his side of the story in the media.

I feel not an ounce of sympathy for this rapist. I had to live with three of them in the dorms when I went to UCSB. Surprise, surprise, they were also jocks!

I really wish people would stop bending over backwards to defend this scumbag. No woman in her right mind would go through this much crap to prosecute a rapist unless it really happened.

On Updated: No Retrial For Frimpong

Rich is too kind.

"They are reminiscent of the tiny sailboat exercising their right of way over the giant ship."

You are the kind of jerk who doesn't deserve to drive on the roads regardless of how much you pay in taxes. The fact that you see cyclists legally driving as a nusiance who should yield to your omnipotent gas guzzlers speaks much to your behavior as a driver as well as American consciousness with respect to operating a motor vehicle.

The fact that just a few years after the Boysel murder (yes, I'll call it for what it was, despite the ignorant jury who let him "get away with it") we have people so angry at one of the most environmentally friendly methods of commuting means Santa Barbarans need a serious lesson in ethics and rules of the road.
