when the going gets tough.....the wealthy go on a cruise in their yachts on the Mediterranean!!
if you'll recall that's what Wendy did when she first bought the News-Press..the inner workings of her business were imploding so she and Nipper went for a Mediterranean cruise..when they got back, the News-Press was in disarray with key employees resigning left and right...oh, those were good times!
so I laughed when Wendy's pal Newt Gingrich who spoke at Wendy's Reagan Ranch Center on lower State St a few times, did the same thing.....his presidential campaign was floundering with news of his huge debt owed to Tiffanny's because his weird Barbie doll wife likes expensive jewelry, so Newt goes on a cruise to a Greek Isle...when he returns, most of his staff has resigned!
California Republican wants Iraq to pay for America's invasion of their sovereign nation!
BAGHDAD -- A U.S. congressman visiting Baghdad Friday suggested that Iraq pay back the United States for the money it has spent in the eight years since the U.S.-led invasion in 2003.
Rep. Dana Rohrabacher spoke during a one-day visit by a group of six U.S. congressman. The California Republican said he raised the suggestion during a meeting with Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki that some day when Iraq is a "prosperous" nation it pay back the U.S. for everything that it has done here.
uh oh
SB City Council member Mike Self, whom I praised recently, stood outside City Hall with a quorum of conservative members of the council, and spoke about city issues and her plans to run for re-election.....this was not a noticed meeting, therefore a blatant violation of the Brown Act....
what is with these people???

I am just amazed that someone with hundreds of millions of dollars she didn't earn but won in a divorce and a giant yacht onto which she coerces celebrities to endure spending time with her has the gall to try and tell citizens they should strip city workers of the right to pensions and cut salaries of people struggling to feed families. While Bill Gates and Warren Buffet are giving half their fortunes away to feed the hungry and cure disease, McCaw is so small and petty minded she instead devotes her time to trying and throttle control of a tiny city council of unemployed school teachers to change zoning laws on the beach near her house. Does this suggest someone who sees life on a grand scale, or a miserly old witch who wants to chase kids off her lawn? It's as if the crackpots who having nothing to do but write angry letters to local newspapers decided to buy the newspaper to save stamps. Buying the News-press is like subscribing to a right-wing hate tract published by mentally challenged Nazis in Utah. What has become of free-thinking Santa Barbara? Don't support her newspaper.
well said!!
