Beat the Heat
 
 

It was damned hot yesterday. 104 in El Cajon. It actually got hotter later in the day.
The highs came uncharacteristically late in the day. A shallow marine layer had been pushed out to sea by easterly winds earlier in the day. So it made it all the way to the coastal waters and then the […]

Topless Waitress on Route 66
 
 

July 1966 issue of the men’s magazine Modern Man has semi-nude pictures of waitresses at a polynesian restaurant on Route 66. NSFW.

Can it be, that deep in the conservative Southwest and far away from the cosmopolitan centers of nudity, an arid desert has been transformed into an oasis of exposed pulchritude?

Amusing.

Sex Education and Potty Training

All the boys would have to leave before your female teacher showed the video. The “plot” would have a 13-year old girl asking her Mom […]

Hot Politics? Ask a Blogger
 
 

California politics on the Web is the sidebar to an SDUT article on political blogging.
“People were saying, ‘How could they meet with Jon before they met with Republican legislators?,’ ” Fleischman said. “Well frankly, if Republican legislators were blogging to large audiences of people, they’d meet with them ahead of time, too.”
Democrats noticed and are planning […]

Immigration
 
 

The current immigration debate is big news locally and nationally. An SDUT review of the book Clash of Civilizations by Bruce Bawer talks about the international immigration issues in Europe, specifically the growth of Muslim communities.
Bawer asserts that the reality – confirmed for him by the resistance of European Muslims to assimilation, and the marked presence in their communities of honor […]
