From an article I read yesterday. He was a subcontractor for a company that has a contract with the military or something like that. Because he was a subcontractor for an outside firm, they can't dig as deep as a pure government position can. The way they were describing it, government clearance would look at military history, and other things. But a subcontractor can only see honorably discharged, and since no charges were filled in any of his gun things, those might not have shown up. And I believe that it's illegal for companies to look into medical issues as a reason for hire. Not sure what his job was in the place. For all we know, he could have been a janitor, so he had clearance to enter the building.

Obama is not pleased. FBI is reporting in the news conference that Alexis had a shotgun. And a pistol from the dead police officer. No AR15.

Alexis had access card for Navy Yard; investigators look for motive Looks like he shot his way in, with the first victim being a police officer.

Where will these guys play? FA's of the type we need to sign will only sign if they get playing time at the MLB level. You can't start 7 starters, so that we will have 5 when 2 get injured. And it would be foolish to trade productive MLB players for minor league depth.

They've Turned Over The Costa Concordia And The Pictures Are Nuts

Sign Tanaka, resign Vargas. And your starting pitching is set for 2014.

You guys are overthinking this. Sign Vargas and Tanaka. Tanaka is a big question mark, but he might be the best pitcher available out there, and would only require money. Trade Shuck (a possible ROY) and Cowgill for relievers. And the team is set for 2014.

Dang Cory, way to jinx it.

BTW. Congratulations to Dwyre. He made Plashke look like a good writer. Anyone wonder why the LA Times sports section went from 20+ pages to barely 6 during his tenure as Sports Editor? He's an old geezer, that can't accept change. He should take notes from Bruce about adapting.

stupid article. Big difference between retiring and a milestone. And I still don't agree with the Angels honoring Rivera. Those players never played for the Angels, and it's not the same as a Rivalry. Hell, I bet Dwyre would like the Angels to honor the Dodgers if they ever win the World Series. Because that would be the classy thing to do.

Harold and Kumar. Who would have thought their movies weren't comedies, but serious commentaries on society.

That's because mass shootings are common. Poozy actually finding a college that will let him in isn't.

How long has Coello been back?

For anyone interested. Santa Anita is opening up the weekend of Sept 28th for it's fall meet. They will be having their food truck festival that Saturday, along with a Craft Brew festival. According to the website, 40+ craft brews, and they usually have at least 40 food trucks. They are also having a concert with Shiny Toy Guns and Lose Control. So if you are interested, admission is $5. Get there early for the food trucks, since they form lines quick. I'll probably be there, yelling at horses that I bet on that end in last place.

I liked how they didn't do a rehash of Judge Dredd, like most remake movies seem to like to do.

Saw Life of Pi. It was a really good movie.

A lot of Duck Dynasty going on. Jerome definitely has the best food in his basket. Or maybe it's just the best food, since I can relate to a lot of stuff in there, including the spam. Of course the Cowgill hotsauce and the De La Rosa Peanut Marzipan Candy sounds interesting. And Tattoo magazine for Trumbo?

LOL at American Indians being Arabs.

So here is a question. What happens when other states refuse to recognize a CA drivers license? If illegals have it, then it really isn't a legitimate ID right? Birthdate, I remember you had to have a birth certificate. So that number can be ficticious. Why should any state trust anyone with a CA drivers license now?

TGwynn and Ripken both had honorary All Star game captaincies bestowed on them by the MLB in their final season. Stupid Padres wouldn't let Gwynn start in his final game.

Tough choice. It's going to be tough for him to get in the Hall, because he doesn't have the hits, or HR's or I don't think he has any MVP's. Although his career avg and OPS is impressive. He may get in on one of those lull periods.

Can't wait for Trumby and Trouty.
