L-E headline/story: "Two female CSU students charged with public indecency *(They) were discovered having a sex in a third-floor study room by CSU Police Cpl. R. Andrew Splawn, according to a police incident report." -- What happened to "allegedly"?

I saw "the Donald, Jr" on TV the other day. He'd have a tough time trying to deny his genetic birthright; he has his dad's deformed hair.

After his collapses/disappointments in the final rounds of 1986, 1987, and 1996 to finish second at the Masters, don't you know it really bugs Greg Norman to drive down Magnolia Lane knowing he doesn't have a set tee time for life?

Scarlett Obama can stop the government shutdown with simply a call to Harry Reid. It's that simple. What person can be considered "sane" who can avoid the angst of not sending a paycheck to the men and women of the best equipped and best functioning military in the world with one phone call?

L-E headline: "Michael Curry's defense team files motion claiming a neighbor may have been responsible for 1985 bush-ax slayings" -- If Curry truly believed this, why wasn't he pursuing this for the last 25+ years? If I think if I knew the remotest possibility existed that the neighbor was guilty of killing my wife and children, I'd never have rested until I did something about it. Wonder how many times Curry's dog ate his homework when he was in school?

From L-E story on MCSD board members' upcoming San Francisco trip: “I went to the state conference and in four days learned more than in two months on the job,” New member Mark) Cantrell said. “I can’t afford not to go.” Asked about the cost, he said: “I may find an idea there that saves us a million dollars.” -- I'm not so sure that's what the voters want from Cantrell. Seems to me that a new board member is elected because the voters were tired of what the previous member had 'learned' from being a member, and the voters wanted someone to bring the voters' perspective to the seat.

From same L-E story: "Hugley-Green also thinks the trip will be productive: “You work there. It is no vacation,” she said. “It can get you to think outside the box.” -- If school board members need to learn "to think outside of the box", San Francisco is not "the box" board members need to learn how to think. California in general, and San Francisco specifically, are more of examples not to duplicate.

From Richard Hyatt's column: "Some firms do stress service and their employees reflect that desire. We can reward them with our business and our gratitude. As for the others, don’t grin and bear it. Let them know you’re upset." -- Richard has finally seen the light...of course when he was working regularly at the L-E, he didn't feel this way about responses when anyone called his point of view inane or overly liberal.

L-E story: "WASHINGTON — Those yearly statements that Social Security mails out — here’s what you’d get if you retired at 62, at 66, at 70 — will soon stop arriving in workers’ mailboxes. It’s an effort to save money and steer more people to the agency’s website." -- If Washington wanted to save money, it can just print those reports in red ink. Washington has more red ink than it knows what to do with, and as for saving on mailings, the postmen and postwomen are already going door-to-door delivering other mail, so just slip the reports into their pouches.

L-E's " Quotable": “It is legal because I wish it.” Louis XIV French monarch (1638-1715) -- No wonder Scarlett Obama is so endeared to the French lifestyle.

This will be a daily inclusion of the Breakfast Club: Diane Schneider, a representative with the National Education Association (NEA), said that graphic sex education needs to be taught in the classroom. * "She said that 'gender identity expression' and sexual orientation are a spectrum, and...that those [who are] opposed to homosexuality are stuck -- quote -- 'in a binary box that religion and family create.' -- This should be sent to every teacher in every school district, and they should be asked to either endorse it, demand Ms Schneider be fired, or drop their NEA membership.
