Well we’re a day late and a dollar short. The weather’s too nice here in sunny San Jose to stay inside and post, so we recommend you get out and enjoy the sunshine. Take a walk, ride a bike, hike a mountain, visit a park or head to the beach. If there’s anything on your mind on any subject that you’d like to share with fellow San Joseans, though, please share it here.
A rant against web-sites that are broken and do not provide a contact email address on the Home page to alert the site of the problem.
Interesting article by Councilman Pete Contstant on ProtectSanJose.com. The subject of the article is former police auditor Barbara Attard questioning why the city council voted 9-2 to forgive the $300,000 “executive loan” they made to her for purchasing a condominium when she came here from San Francisco. In addition, she apparently never legally changed her address and continued voting in San Francisco, thus never actually becoming a San Jose Resident as required by her loan. Amazing how this person who was suppose to be some moral judge apparently lied and defaulted on her loan and there is barely a mention of that. Fraud is apparently ok to her. Thanks to most of the city council for throwing away another big chunk of money rather than hold her responsible.

Wish you had been up for posting yesterday. I wanted to point out (and ridicule) the bad cropping on the large picture on page one. But I imagine most people have already discarded Sunday’s paper. If you haven’t, pull out Sunday’s page one, and check out the odd line drawing that was intentionally left in the picture. The paper has surely changed.
I agree with #1—I tried several ways to contact Eric to tell him that when one clicked “continue reading” one was simply returned to the home page. All to no avail. No contact address on the home page to alert the sleeping master of the problem.

Mercifully, the Cash for Clunkers program ends soon.
But I’m sure The Dear Leader will soon come up with new schemes to encourage poor people to take on debt they can’t afford.
