What we have here is a case of Stephen Colbert's
"truthiness." Wow, we have the Fox "News" team and Rush Limbaugh all rolled into one fish wrap right here in SB. What fortune.

On Mayor Is Not Resigning

Sounds very optimistic. So why is the growth potential still listed as high?

On Closing the Gap

Posted on July 10 at 9:23 a.m.

If the Fox News honchos manage to damage Obama enough so that McCain limps through and becomes POTUS, we're all doomed. What it all comes down to is taxes. We all hate them, but want the services that we refuse to pay for so we can all buy theater-sized TVs and Porsches.

On Don’t Pet the Burning Dog

Posted on July 10 at 7:10 a.m.

Thanks to your incredible coverage and the free availability of your website, you've now become Santa Barbara's paper of record. Your major competitor, run by She Who Must Not Be Named, has a subscribers-only website; I don't know how well they did, because I won't subscribe.

On Fire on the Mountain

Posted on July 3 at 4:26 p.m.

The Independent is doing a fantastic job of keeping us informed about the Gap fire. Thank God someone is, TV and radio have largely been a bust, and I won't even look at the paper of She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, Lady Voldecaw.

On Gap Fire at a Glance as of Thursday, July 3, 11:30 a.m.

Posted on July 2 at 6:40 a.m.

Given the proximity of the fire to populated areas, I'm a bit surprised that the air attack is not yet underway at 6:40 AM. It's been light for about an hour. Aren't they being a bit casual about this? I can understand why it's too risky to fly low at night, but why couldn't they have everything ready to start operations at the crack of dawn?

On Gap Fire Updates From the County

Posted on June 30 at 9:19 a.m.

The only way to win this awful battle would be for very wealthy locals (of which there are a few) to pool funds and start a competing daily that could run at a loss for x years. I bet a number of ex-NP employees would gladly join and win readers pretty quickly.

On Wendy McCaw: Knight of the First Amendment

Posted on June 27 at 9:49 a.m.

Oh, he's a pickup artist. Not much there for an acoustic guy.

On Seymour Duncan Garage Sale -- 06/28/08 at 5427 Hollister Ave.

Posted on June 27 at 8:19 a.m.

Who is Seymour Duncan, and why is he the man himself?

On Seymour Duncan Garage Sale -- 06/28/08 at 5427 Hollister Ave.

Posted on June 16 at 9:22 a.m.

This decision, together with the nomination of Barack Obama and the Bush Supreme Court's latest decision on Guantanamo 'detainees', constitute some light at the end of a long, very dark tunnel.
