As a communist...oh never mind. Sie sind zu dümmsten. You know what is fun? Having a pizza party in your pajamas and watching Red Dawn.

"If this is the future of journalism, I'm truly sad." I agree. This is a scandal. Who ever heard of a newspaper or magazine publishing a humorous first-person essay?

I like this article. More of its kind, please. How would one pigeonhole it? Business reporting?Science writing? "Look what new frontiers are opening up in your backyard" type stuff? Let's say all of the above. Kudos.

Hey libs, remember how great our "socialist utopia" was? Eight years of Bush, the Younger. Eight years of Bill "The era of Big Government is dead" Clinton. Four years of Bush, the Elder. Eight Years of Reagan. Gee, I wish we could have that back again.

A lot of the current problems stem from the partial closure of the County's mental health crisis center. I'll pass along a rumor I heard. I got it second-hand, but my source got it from a couple of doctors who run the mental health system in Sac. The County has already decided to re-open the crisis center, but they are waiting for a while so that they don't look like complete fools for closing it down in the first place. This won't solve every problem, of course, but at least when people are dumped they are dumped at the crisis center, not the streets.
