Hey, someone tell the Jews and El Al airlines that profiling is bad and doesn't work. Oh, right, it does work.

This article is crap. Having lived in the u-district since 1998, most of the unique character has been stripped away to be replaced with boring mixed use architecture. As above commenter stated...exciting as a Red Lobster. The lack of character makes me sad.

So we get three boats that are aesthetically displeasing, difficult to load, overpowered and inefficient, vastly overpriced, and the ferry system is broke. All of the above to satisfy state requirements that are essentially union giveaways. Who here would spend their own money in such fashion, or a pool of ...

In all seriousness, the military budget can absorb large cuts. Do we really need a sub orbital, radar blank, carbon fiber rocket to deliver a bomb anywhere in the world in 1 hour? Sorry, I had to google the name because the project is so wasteful: Falcon Hypersonic Technology Vehicle ...

I agree with normfox, especially about morose, dead in the eyes employees. If you have a job at least pretend to like it, or get a new one. Initiatives such as I-1100 occur due to the legislatures extreme inability to act; the state has had years to come up with ...
