I want to avoid paying sales tax on the yacht I buy, so I am definitely voting Republican to continue this tax loophole!!

The State does not need the money anyway....

On Miramar Hotel Emails Raise Questions

Posted on July 12 at 10:22 p.m.

A traditional political adage is that a failing attack on a leader only make him or her stronger in the end and the attacker even weaker.

Among at least 4 blog-comment sites now, we are reading and watching that happen within only half a day of the latest infamous editorial and the Mayoral response message to all City staff.

The day has just become a lot sooner when "Travisty Factswrong" gets shoved into a closet office at the Young America Foundation to be a special projects writer no one reads from a hastily fabricated Libertarian Think Tank.

Warning: subscriptions falling fast again!

The most effective team now implementing Operation Cold Shoulder continues to be the publishers and editors of the News-Less, all doing a far more effective job at motivating readers and advertisers than the public activists or the Teamsters ever could do!!

On Mayor Is Not Resigning

Posted on July 12 at 9:03 p.m.

I heard the Mayor on her radio show at noon Saturday, when she essentially said the same message that is reported here by Brantingham.

She also partied with 100+ folks last night at the EDC Friday happy event... all pretty chipper for someone allegedly trying to make up an excuse to resign from being Mayor.

Some of the comments here above do seem a bit strange because they still need to ask these questions and observations that have been widely known as truth for years by much of the local public and a couple of Federal judges who evaluated the Travis under oath on the witness stand:

"Has Travis gone off the deep end?"

"Who do they think they are kidding?"

"quickly losing credibility with this made up stuff...nobody is going to listen to him anymore."

"find his behavior totally unethical."

"editorials need to be supported by facts."

Better late than never, but you all have concluded what thousands of your fellow Santa Barbarians already knew. Welcome to the Cabal of truth, dear reader, forsyth, sand, and binky!

Of course, for this spectator sport that watching the News-Press implode has become, the Travistorial today (where he claims Mayor Blum is going to resign but cites no facts or actual sources except those he imagined), is nothing new and is just the same bovine fecal matter piled higher and deeper.

On Mayor Is Not Resigning

Just a clarification, many of the details in this Poodle column originated from an article in Monterey Herald last week:

http://www.montereyherald.com/search/ci_...

Still, great to put it all in context, especially for how the zone of orchards between surburbia and High Chaparral are an excellent buffer.

and a BIG CLARIFICATION for johnathansmith above:
No one would have to pay off the Bishop Ranch landowners to preserve that property as open space and agriculture unless the Goleta City Council majority changed the zoning in the first place a few months from now!!

These micro cars are the wave of the future until we start hovering in aerial lanes of traffic.

The really intriguing item here is setting for the photo of Barney in his new Bee.

That looks like a museum with that glass display cabinet, not a garage. What's up with that??

These safety checkpoints are paid with a State grant. The funds are for the police over-time pay.

Of course, this raises the question about why is this police work done only if it is paid through a State grant??
