A Charity Bachelor
Auction was held last night
at the Brass Rail.
Buy Me Love Benefits auctioned off dates with nine
handsome bachelors after a mix and mingle. Ophelia (shown here with Buy
Me Love Benefits co-founders Lindsay Trowbridge
and
Diane Michael) was the auctioneer
and host. The girls throw great singles parties
at San Diego’s finest bars to feature bachelor and/or bachelorette
auctions that
raise money for local charities. If you haven’t dropped by the Brass
Rail since their renovation, you owe yourself a trip...and say hi to
manager Wes.

Did you catch the latest remarks of Bushivites? General Peter Pace first said that being gay and in the service was immoral. Now he says he should have kept his homophobic remarks to himself — ah, what a pity, the wolf wants to slip back into schleps clothing.
Here I thought all along that the game plan in our country’s overseas “adventure” was to divide and conquer the ENEMY? How could I have been so mistaken? He insults the patriotic soldiers on the ground in Iraq by calling the ones who play on the other side of the tracks “immoral.” General Pace, one question, sir — how is that helping the war effort? It turns out that the first Marine to be wounded in Iraq the Sequel, was Marine Staff Sgt. Eric Alva, a patriot who doesn’t play on Pace’s holier-than-tho’ team. This bright young man is now working to change this discriminating policy. Hope he doesn’t have to run too many errands, the one leg thing may slow him down.
And don’t even let me get started on that hideous blond basilisk from hell Ann Coulter making goo-goo with Rod Majors. Let me see if I can summarize this big bowl of steaming hypocrisy: If you’re a patriot, serve your country in Iraq, get wounded there, disclose that you’re gay or better yet just be gay, you are immoral. On the other hand, if you serve your country in the Marines, don’t get wounded, come home, leave the service, make gay porn, then explain after a good half-dozen XXX-rated movies, that you ‘weren’t very good at it’ and join the GOP…you get the Jean Kirkpatrick Award for Freedom and have snaps taken with the illuminati of the far-right Christian GOP gun, immigration and homo nut club. That makes sense, doesn’t it? What a world! What a world!

The higher density developments have already started, but the plans for transportation, parks, schools and libraries are still “to follow later.” Is this “Smart Growth?”
He also gave an update on the lawsuit that has been filed against the monster building at 301 University Avenue. This lawsuit was filed because of the City Council’s inabilty to deal with community infrastructure issues. Financial support is needed. Please contact Friends of San Diego at (619) 795-1753 if you would like to help out.

The lights are on..but nobody’s home
Anybody out there know why the Casa de Baffi and Pernicano’s signs are back on (day & night) now? They need a few bulbs replaced and much cleaning, but the lights are glowing even though the restaurants (closed now for over two decades) remain dark. George’s little house in the back corner of his empty parking lot has been razed, too.Sunday evening three police cars were parked along Sixth Avenue to check into a reoccuring problem — transients breaking in to steal metal for recycling.

After 35 years the San Diego Wild Animal Park’s Wgasa Bush Line monorail will leave the station at 4pm Sunday for its final trip around the perimeter of the wide enclosure where animals run “free.” A series of problems forced the decision. New shuttle buses will begin running Monday, but unlike the iconic monorail...the new ride will not be included in their $28.50 admission price (don’t forget the additional $8 to park the car).
