WHAT’S IN A NAME? NOTHING, SAYS OROPEZA

June 3, 2008

Long Beach’s other state senator, Jenny Oropeza, is endorsing Tonia Reyes Uranga in today’s primary race against Bonnie Lowenthal to be the Democratic Party’s nominee for the 54th Assembly District–but not because Reyes Uranga’s name isn’t Lowenthal. Oropeza believes that too much emphasis has been placed on the so-called Lowenthal Dynasty.
“I think that’s kind of a side [...]

STOP. COLLABORATE AND LISTEN.

March 28, 2008

“100 Greatest Songs of the 90s” is the best clip show countdown that vh1 has ever done and I am glad I am procrastinating things to watch it. I’m really learning a lot.

February 28, 2008

I imagine the old AOL ‘you’ve got mail’ guy saying that, otherwise the joke doesn’t really work.
Welcome to the internet! Home of 4chan, internet dating, spyspace, 2 girls 1 cup (you don’t want that link… trust me), and now the 5th horsewebsite of the apocalypse: Inspot.org the first website (to my knowledge, as I [...]

TIME-SAVING SIMPLICITY IS COMPLICATED BY ‘UNHEALTHY’ LB CITY COUNCIL

December 5, 2007

Long Beach Mayor Bob Foster’s pursuit of time-saving simplicity at city council meetings is becoming increasingly time consuming and complicated.  His latest suggestion for streamlining the process – proposed at Tuesday night’s meeting in tandem with Ninth District Councilmember Val Lerch — would create two categories of meeting agendas and require the council to vote on which items belong where. At this point, perhaps [...]

ROMNEY’S OLD-TIME RELIGION

December 5, 2007

He’s no Jack Kennedy
This very good New York Times piece says presidential candidate Mitt Romney (a Mormon) faces none of the bigotry John F. Kennedy (a Catholic) faced back in 1960. Writer Kenneth L. Woodward says most Americans “are willing to accept Mr. Romney’s assertion that Mormons are Christians, albeit of a highly unorthodox kind. [...]
