CU77 -- Who zones property in CA for residential or commercial development ? Local city and county gubmint of course. In the Red areas, it's full steam ahead: you want it, go right ahead and build it. You're a big-time farmer who wants to pump all the water out of the local aquifer, no matter how i...

his citizens, who have been allowed to build in, or too close to, the forests. Allowed??? Are you telling me that you're in favor of the gubmint prohibiting people from building on land they own ??? Stop me, gubmint, before I build again??? In that vein, I notice that some survivors of the horrific...

BUT - everyone here realizes that gerrymandering is what is creating the over-representation of the rural states is because of DEMOCRATIC gerrymandering right? Un, no, that is not right. At all. Not even close. I don't have time to pick out the best things to read now, but everything on gerrymander...

Cmon a fan, did you not see where that article was published? Fake news central!

Stop reading fake news, and bask in all the winning!!!

That's what OD's true believers are doing.

CU-77 -- this is not the time to evaluate policy, but has there been any serious discussion within CA about how to effectively mitigate & reduce the wildfire risk. It would seem that a large scale, significant near term effort is required, beyond waiting for a reversal of climate change. El Nin...

This is a horrible event. When the fires are put out and final tally of the cost is known guess who the folks of California will be looking to for aid, comfort and financial support... probably some guy with the initials DJT?? Hey, C&S, here in California we are a big-time maker state. We ship ...

I hope hope hope Brown runs for POTUS in 2020. He is the only D that I think has a strong chance of dethroning OD ...

Idaho, Utah, and Nebraska just voted to expand Medicaid.

Sure sounds like they want the nanny state to me, as long as it's the blue-state makers who are paying for it.

How I wish the West Coast would secede! Let all those red-state hypocrites make their own way in the world ...

The sliding scale looks like this, a Home Depot employee said after attending a company meeting regarding the news: Less than two years: $200 bonus Two to four years: $250 bonus Five to nine years: $300 bonus 10 to 14 years: $400 bonus 15 to 19 years: $750 bonus 20+ years: $1,000 bonus Home Depot d...

As a Cornell fan of 4+ decades, I agree that Yale was flat in the ILT title game. And IMO Shay didn't bother to faceguard JT51 because he was more interested in having his D play their usual style as further practice for the NCAAs. Also IMO, this takes absolutely nothing away from Cornell's win. Yal...

Nice. I hope the games get streamed for those of us nowhere near Charlotte ...

Cornell hockey has played at MSG pretty regularly: The game will mark the eighth consecutive season and the 10th time in the last 12 years that Cornell has played on the storied ice in Manhattan. But it will be the first time the Big Red clashes with its biggest current rival. While Cornell and Harv...

You're citing an 8-year-old article? Why? What exactly has KG done that has upset you so? If you're expecting to distract from the mass murder committed by the right and the attempted political assassination of KG's colleague (whose picture was illegally put on that billboard you loved so much) by a...

Then what is your basis for saying "This really seems over the top to me, the mountain being made of it" ??

I'm sure he's a very fine person.

Surprised at you, jhu72.

Black facepaint used as military camoflage is one thing, used for whites to imitate blacks is quite another:

You're telling me that hateful rhetoric inspires hate crimes?? How is that possible??? I'm so confused …

Because these days one of the main ways the 1% rips off the 99% is through high-frequency trading that exploits tiny, rapidly-changing market inefficiencies that can be predicted (reliably enough) by the right computer programs. Start taxing every transaction, at even a tiny level, and it will wipe ...
