Sandbox – 28may15

28 May 2015

[Well, all the liberal palaber about Common Core being just standards and not specific requirements for curricula is just so much BS as states are now beginning to find out. Climate change propaganda has been inserted as a required topic ranging from grade through middle to high school. Students will have AGW drilled into their heads without debate, much like the Catholics and Calvinists ran their religious schools. See 'Schoolroom Climate Change Indoctrination' by Paul Tice in the 28may15 WSJ. gjr]

Never heard of Lucille’s. What kind of food?
I just discovered brisket in San Jose last week at my grand daughters graduation from San Jose State. I am a fan now.

Locally try Smiiey Guy’s in the old Brier Patch building. Good beer, good brisket and fantastic french fries.

What does my personal life marriage have to do with asking you for an accounting of your taxpayer funded trip to Red China? I think you may have gone over the top and your noggin is clouded.
As a “non-profit” (;pys of chuckles), you are responsible to post our financial info so I suppose I will have to ask the IRS and the Franchise Tax Board and State Corporations to investigate you and your SBC. Looks like a scam to me. You are coming across as the Bernie Madoff of the Sierra Nevada.

What a hoot there Steve Frisch. You went to Red China and extolled its virtues and told everyone it was not a personal trip. Just tell us who paid for it , the itinerary, and what amount was spent. Pretty simple. Why are you hiding the facts?
I really don’t think asking the IRS and the Franchise tax board to review a taxpayer funded organization like yours would be considered “harassment”. Go ahead and sue me and I will own everything you have. You seem to be hiding things and that is what got Bernie Madoff a hundred years in the clink. You should not be so quick to threaten.
Besides, I have not brought up your failure to pay your employees taxes to the tune of $250,000 and all the local state and federal tax leins against you. All in the public record, just like my marriage.

Really……for a guy who loathes typos and clings to his vaunted credentials like a drowning man in the ocean clings to anything that floats you sure do screw up the language on a regular basis. The word I believe you are looking for is “neuroses”, plural of neurosis.
neu·ro·sis
n(y)o͝oˈrōsəs/
noun MEDICINE
plural noun: neuroses
a relatively mild mental illness that is not caused by organic disease, involving symptoms of stress (depression, anxiety, obsessive behavior, hypochondria) but not a radical loss of touch with reality. Compare with psychosis.
synonyms: mental illness, mental disorder, psychological disorder; More
(in nontechnical use) excessive and irrational anxiety or obsession.
“apprehension over mounting debt has created a collective neurosis in the business world”
Neurotic means something quite different…..but then you already knew that didn’t you.

Paul, the last ‘interesting dialog’ you were beating the brush for was what folks here thought of the TPP that Obama was keeping secret while it was being negotiated… It’s hard to discuss something before it’s made public, and you seemed unwilling to wait until it was public to discuss it.
That seemed pretty uninteresting. There wasn’t any final bill, and for once, the least transparent administration in history actually did have a halfway good reason for opacity… the President gets to negotiate with foreign governments, not the Congress. The Congress just has an up or down vote on the result.
