“The financial spigot that has been funding the ongoing cover-up with public funds has finally been turned off. This is a major turnaround. It’s the tipping point, and this case is going to break wide open. This is a big day for the city; big things are happening.”

Tuesday, January 31	Aliens (aka the Ground Zero Players) descended on La Jolla tonight to give the State of the Universe address at the same location where the SD Republican Party had gathered to listen to George W’s State of the Union. The aliens message: the Bush administration has violated the universal standards of decency and the space pollution protocol. The name of the restaurant — Rock Bottom. Did the GOP pick that spot to align themselves with the president’s approval ratings, his class rank or his moral integrity?
Monday, January 30	“The financial spigot that has been funding the ongoing cover-up with public funds has finally been turned off. This is a major turnaround.

Monday, January 30	Hillcrest Clean T.E.A.M. (Together Everyone Achieves More) After the last neighborhood Hillcrest clean-up (#4) we needed more brooms, and thanks to the Mission Hills Garden Club’s contribution, we won’t have to turn away volunteers from our next effort which will be held this Sunday, February 5. Please come out and join us for a couple hours of good clean fun to enhance Hillcrest. Meet up under the Hillcrest sign at 10am. For more information email Cathy Lee (smiling here with The Center’s volunteer coordinator, Eddie Valtierra).
Saturday, January 28	Ralph Nader once said his mother “took us out in the yard one day and asked us if we knew the price of eggs, of apples, of bananas. Then she asked us to put a price on clean air, the sunshine, the song of birds — and we were stunned.” — Rose Bouziane Nader (1906-2006)

Thursday, January 26	The Steves (Russell and Barboni) joined in a martini celebration at where else...Hillcrest’s Martinis with the Queen of the Boogie Woogie Piano, the one and only Sue Palmer. A grand time was had by all including Jody and Suanne, Grace and Cathy, Travis, Laura Jane (who sang along with vocalist Deejah Marie and her daughter), Lesley and Judy (who had their first martini ever...and they’re both 45!!) Judy really like the carmel apple variety. Lemon drops were a popular favorite, too!
Wednesday, January 25	“Sometimes I wonder if we shall ever grow up in our politics and say definite things which mean something, or whether we shall always go on using generalities to which everyone can subscribe, and which mean very little.” — Eleanor Roosevelt (1884-1962)
Tuesday, January 24	<Did you see the Mayor and San Diego’s all women firefighting team on ABC’s Good Morning America today?
