Thank God no celebrities’ homes burned in Montecito
The Tribune brings us some welcome news as we worry about the families of the one hundred homes that have been destroyed by the Tea Fire, raging in the community of Montecito, our neighbor just south of Santa Barbara. You’ll be able to sleep well tonight knowing that, hooray, it sounds like no homes of [...]
A Useful Reminder
Yes, I know the Obama phenomenon was launched by his 2004 Democratic Convention keynote declaration that there are neither Red States nor Blue States, just the United States. And, yes, I’m well aware that our president-elect’s central appeal has been his repeated promises that he will end rancorous partisanship, bring the country back together [...]
Are you one of the 45.8% SLO idiots for Prop 1A?
45.8% of San Luis Obispo voters are complete idiots. At least. This is the number of voters that voted Yes to Prop 1A, the “Safe Reliable High Speed Passenger Train Bond Act.”
First of all, do you even know what a bond is? And do you know what financial shape California is in, much of which [...]

Latest on Mon, 19:49: So I was in line in the market and there was Obama the Savior on the cover of Men's Health magazine. Uh, a health magazine? A decades-long smoker? One who won't release his medical records (McCain released 1200 pages)? One could could die of lung cancer? Hmmm, could there be a little bias? Naw, not in this election! LOL!
: Warning! Be careful going to Santa Maria. If you must, don't go at night! Have you read about all the murders and robberies? It's getting bad.
: Goodbye Insomniac Video, sorry to see you go. Thanks to Bob Whiteford for his 12 years of serving our community.
: I'm happy airlines are leaving our airport! It will help reduce growth since many people will not move here unless they can easily fly in and out. Businesses will think twice too. We can have SLO to ourselves! And those of us staying in town more will spend our money locally, not on vacations. Staycation here! We'll still get tourists driving in from the north, south and east. Our tourism economy will survive.
: "They" say that all politics are local. The same greed and mismanagement that has led us to national failure will soon visit us in SLO if developers and "consultants" [read lobbyists] get their way and turn the small-town ambience of SLO into just another shopping stop between Los Angeles and San Francisco. Vote out incumbents and elect Terry MOHAN, Dan CARPENTER and John ASHBAUGH, who will represent the wishes of the majority and the general plan. They won't run SLO for the convenience of just a few but will "run" this town for the residents.
: Another beautiful day in paradise
: Isn't it nice that the tourists have gone home now! I love September and October.
: Comment wall, huh? That's sounds fun. Wish I had something interesting to say right now.
: Interesting site. I'll think about writing an article. Good idea.
