I'm sure you are familiar with the concept of nuance. A couple of things: California residents realistically don't have a choice in paying public sector pensions. The politicians are bought and sold by the public sector unions. Voting districts are gerrymandered. We are screwed. The amount of money that these low paid Angels employees are paid are a mere pittance compared to a) the cops and firemen; and the Josh Hamiltons. Again, nuance. The dichotomy of wasting literally tens of millions of dollars a year on non-productive players, while cutting the pensions of the little people is a really bad optic. Thus, people express their opinions.

I had the wife of an LA City firefighter tell me they are looking to move out of state when he retires because the tax rates are too high here. You cannot make this stuff up.

THIS!! (I've never done this before) I never ever make fun or belittle fast food workers. Its hard frigging work. And I seriously think it takes skill to work a headset, while at the same time preparing bags or ringing up. And you know they HAVE to ask "Would you like to try the creamy ranch bacon burger?" They couldn't give a rat's ass what you order.

Here's the link http://www.latimes.com/sports/sportsnow/la-sp-sn-angels-red-sox-pension-plans-20141218-story.html I like this line from an Angels' lackey: “This wasn’t a cost-saving move,” Angels President John Carpino said when asked how much money the team would save by eliminating pension plans. “It’s about flexibility for employees. haha, every time I got a shittier health plan option, the HR person would always parrot that same exact thing: This is about flexibility!

So are guys like Hamilton.

I remember Vlad having a grand slam in his first playoff series, against Boston.

Did we not waste an out with a bunt to get to this AB?

Couples who have one fb account.

I expect zero f*cks given by Hamilton the entire season.

If you add up the eaten Appier money. They eaten Wells money. Jeff Weaver. All the other guys - you'd think Arte would have a gut like the size of an average SEC football fan.

Humblebrag alert: I am in good with the skycaps! This morning I am feeling thankful for the American Airlines Skycaps who recognized me and pulled me out from a huge line and let me cut to the front. It's the things like this that keep me loyal to this airline. Thanks boys!!!‪

I am pretty sure he is a great coach - very successful. Bet he got the God complex and thought he was untouchable.

Los Al High swim: $400 per season. http://lahsaquatics.weebly.com/swim.html I am pretty sure they have a pool, and equipment and uniforms aren't very expensive.

He gone.... The money you need to spend for your kid's hs sports is frigging unbelieveable. I do the 'audit' for a couple of Lakewood High booster teams.... they are on the up and up, but the chance for unscrupulous coaches/moms/dads to abscond is ripe.

Blacks are telling do-gooder white protesters in the Bay Area to shut the F up. http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/White-voices-dominate-Bay-Area-protests-of-racial-5953977.php#photo-7251312 Give up the Bullhorn, whites!

That thing posted is bragging to the extreme. "I'm better than you" is what the post is saying. That is never cool and never good manners.

I'd like to see a psychological study done on the people who post stuff like that. How lacking in self esteem must you be to feel good about crap like that?

There really are people who post tripe like this. Incredible.

He does have a lot of time on his hands to think about these things. And he actually discussed on yesterday's podcast his methodology for answering all her questions (I don't really remember his reasoning). I am 100% sure there will be no blockbuster ending. My surprise ending is that Sarah marries Adnan in jail in western maryland. Everything has been over analyzed to the nth degree. I am just left wondering about any stone unturned re physical evidence. The car, her body..... for 12 week show, there was not a ton on that.

NO RON PALMER REFERENCE???? Jeez, AO, you are slipping. Its like I don't even know you any more.

Jeez, Chuck gets nutty on fb during Hot Stove time.

Well, its not the way I'd put it, but knock yourself out.

Those of you who work may have seen the freeway signs this morning. Well, I hope you are sitting down, but this Amber was a Latino family squabble. http://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/local/Car-Found-Matching-Amber-Alert-285502071.html
