As we noted last week in our discussion of the thick-headedness of the baseball executive who concluded a discussion of possible drug use in his sport by slandering his own team, leadership in sports is no guarantee of intelligence. Nor, it has since developed, of either maturity or good taste. We have two fresh examples of the latter characteristics, one in basketball and one in baseball. You have one guess apiece as to who we are talking about. Right you are. The flamboyant owner of the Dallas Mavericks, whose ego is even l... Full story

Temecula police said that lewd acts at public parks have been dramatically reduced. Over the past six months, police have arrested 19 men at Temecula parks for committing lewd acts inside the public restrooms. They had learned that the restrooms were being used by gay and bisexual men for illegal purposes, so efforts were concentrated to those areas. On June 23, officers returned to the Ronald Reagan Sports Park to determine if men were still coming to the park to commit lewd acts in the public restrooms. The officers made...

A great opportunity was lost by the Murrieta School Board when they voted once again to name their newest high school for the city of Murrieta. Three high schools, all Murrieta, with geographic references: Vista, Valley and now Mesa. Nice enough and bland enough to satisfy those who turned the naming of the school into a political issue. However, it was not the proponents of the name Ronald Reagan who pushed a partisan and political agenda but those whose politics of hate blinds them to the fact that Ronald Reagan was the...
There will be a film festival starting Saturday in San Francisco and it will feature a Turkish film, “Valley of the Wolves.” The film is an anti-American “docudrama” loosely documenting the July 4, 2003, incident when US troops mistakenly identified Turkish soldiers as enemy troops. The 11 Turkish soldiers were members of the Coalition forces and the mistake caused an outrage in Turkey. Local Turkish television showed video of the Turkish soldiers being led out of their headquarters with hoods over their heads. It was use...
