Tina, I have not visited the site for a while and I see that you are still making it your personal…Read More forum. That is unfortunate, because you have violated the purpose of the site.

RIP Mr. Rafferty. Far to young to loose you and we must work harder to find a cure for cancer.

Scott Raftery was a delight to work with. He did not insulate himself in a press box, but would meet…Read More the people and athletes he worked for. He was also a pro, and really "got it." At one of his first softball finals as an administrator, a coach from El Modena acted like a jerk, totally didn't get the "Pursuing victory with honor" mantra of the CIF; as I recall the incident, Raftery fired off a letter to inform him and his principal that if he didn't clean up his act, he wouldn't be allowed back. The Southern Section office lost a champion.

Nixon was actually very liberal.
Affirmative action and bussing minorities to "white"…Read More schools happened under Nixon's administration. Also, Nixon ended the Vietnam War- not soon enough, of course, but it was LBJ who escalated it to huge proportions. Of course, since he had a "D" by his name, he gets a free pass from this rather partisan and myopic crowd.
Nixon is the Republican that liberals love to hate, but in truth he was rather liberal himself.

I don't care if you were bonded with him at the hip at birth, Ginelle. Citron failed miserable at…Read More his fiduciary obligation to the citizens of Orange County and should have done 5 years or more in state prison for his crimes. A man doesn't pled guilty to 6 felonies unless he has done something terribly wrong. And he was in charge of the public treasure, whether you like it not. Trying to pass off Citron's failings on another human being is totally wrong and a grave insult to the Orange County taxpayers. I understand that you probably had an emotional bond with Citron. We didn't and don't. All we know is that he hurt many people with his hairbrained investment schemes and should NEVER have been in a position of so much financial trust and responsibility. On top of that, he was very weird IMO.

"Every time we turn to the government to "protect us" we increase the cost of…Read More government and decrease the amount of liberty we have. "
read about New England Compounding Center and how NOT having government regulation can kill you. Oh, and if you want to know how they didn't get regulated... try reading on how they were successfully lobbying for even looser regulation.
"The company’s president and co-owner, Greg Coniglario, was also revealed to have hosted a fundraiser for Massachusetts Republican Sen. Scott Brown (R-MA), one of 10 senators to sign a letter asking the FDA to loosen regulations on the drug compounding industry.

A few years back it was DDT. The liberal environment people convinced forward thinkers like the…Read More ones backing Prop. 37 to come out against DDT. As usual the people who suffered the most were the ones least able to protect themselves. Many have died in third world countries because all the smart people came out against DDT. Now you have these same people going after GMO. Keep coming up with all these dangers and eventually you will make food a scarce item. Living in abundance is not an accident. If you outlaw everything that protects crops eventually we will reduce the abundanced we have. If people regect GMO foods, competitors will advertise they are GMO free and we don't pay for another government agency to save us. Trust yourself not the some bureaucrat.
Jasper, Prop. 32 is not backed by a business. Prop 32 stops big business and Unions.

Jim,
Eugene McCarthy was also from Minnesota. But while Humphrey was merely a politician and, in…Read More the words of Hunter S. Thompson, a douche bag...McCarthy was a poet warrior.
Thompson had Hubert's number. We need more McCarthy's, especially today. Humphrey was a "nice" man who worked inside the system to do whatever good he could do. But as Met points out above, that's not really enough. We need the poet warriors who live near the edge in order to turn this ship in the proper direction.
Yeah I know that was a mixed metaphor. But it's good to struggle with images no? :)

There weren't many of us liberal Dems in Orange County back then (OC has come a long way).

You will be missed. Peace.

I think everyone was on pins and needles the entire day. It was a relief to know Armstrong and…Read More Aldrin had landed. But then the second stage of anxiety began. When Armstrong left the capsule and said his famous words, the sense of relief was palpable throughout the nation . . . perhaps the world. Still, I don't believe anyone felt 100% secure until all three men were retrieved after splashdown and, once a period of quarantine was over, allowed to become (if you'll excuse my Warner Bros. cartoon jargon) earthlings again.
About a minute after Armstrong stepped out onto the moon, I went outside and stared up at it in wonderment. It was a warm night and the universe seemed especially accessible. I remember feeling only slightly jealous of those at Disneyland, who had the opportunity to watch the whole thing on a large screen set up in Tomorrowland.
Some time later I remember my mom reading a magazine and quoting the quote Charles mentions. She seemed to think it a justification for not exercising! But obviously Armstrong had to have been in tip-top shape to do all that he did.

He definitely was one of my favorites! I remember hearing of McHale's Navy growing up but was too…Read More young to remember watching it...Hogan's Hero's yes I remember that. So strange that just last week I typed in McHale's Navy on Hulu! I was on episode 5 when I heard of Mr. Borgnine's passing. Although Hogan's Hero's was funny, as were alot of the military sitcoms from the 60's...McHale's Navy is my favorite! I was hooked on the 1st episode. R.I.P. Mr. Borgnine, and thank you for your imfamous smile and beautiful imagination in comedy and in your dark drama as well.

I don't know that Marty Piletti, the character Ernest Borgnine played in the 1955 film, had…Read More "mental difficulties." He was, however, a socially shy and somewhat overweight man in his early thirties who looked after his mother given that his siblings were all married with families of their own. Then he falls in love with an equally shy young woman and begins getting guff from his family and buddies about their relationship. Will he have the courage to assert himself and break loose from the stifling life he has so far led?
It has been a long time since I watched this film, but I remember being very impressed by the acting and the emotional honesty of the story. During a time when most studios were looking to make lavish and often vulgar super-spectaculars, "Marty" stood out as a "small" film of considerable integrity.
Regarding Mr. Borgnine, I happen to know someone who met and worked with him over a period of about a week and was impressed with his kindness and congeniality.
In an advertisement for what turned out to be the year's Oscar-winning film, another famous actor was quoted as saying "What a man is Marty!" I would add, "What a man was Ernest Borgnine!"

I'm a bit concern right now with my son having weight issues right now, I do not force him to take diet instead I exercise with him as much as possible during weekends. It's pretty bothering that obesity is rapidly growing as an epedemic here in the US. I read in an article http://reallycheaphealthinsurance.com/the-monster-episode-2-dr-aculas-obesity-woes/ that obesity can even lead to Cancer and other Psychiatric Disorders.
