Prop. 8 - We Support Gay Marriage - Boycott Manchester Grand Hyatt and Grand Del Mar
The UT reports that gay rights groups and their union allies are targeting the Manchester Grand Hyatt and the Grand Del Mar because the hotels' owner, Doug Manchester, gave $125,000 to Proposition 8, a November ballot measure that would ban same-sex marriage in California.

It's the economy stupid

We Support Aguirre
The Union Trib. reported that a sexual harassment lawsuit filed by a former city employee against San Diego City Attorney Michael Aguirre has been dropped. Lepine agreed to drop the lawsuit and will receive no money from the city. A settlement agreement between Lepine and city states that each side will pay for their own legal fees and the city is prohibited from suing Lepine for malicious prosecution

The Union Trib. reported that the San Diego County Democratic Central Committee endorsed City Attorney Mike Aguirre for re-election Tuesday night.

Lame Democrats still giving in to a lame duck president.

    What's Up by Eric Nielsen 7.12.07
    People ask, so here it is.

    Books:
    The Road by Cormac McCarthy (I can't get enough of this author after reading The Road. He's the modern Faulkner or Hemingway. Stunning read. Modern Zen existentialist.)
    All The Pretty Horses by Cormac McCarthy
    The Crossing by Cormac McCarthy
    Cities of the Plain by Cormac McCarthy
    The Mayflower by Nathaniel Philbrick
    A Long Way Gone by former child soldier Ishmael Beah (fucking mind blowing, read about kids, guns, drugs, loss, redemption and alienation in Sierra Leon)
    Zen and Japanese Culture by DT Suzuki (best explanation of Zen that I've ever read)
    The Possibility of an Island by Michel Houellebecq (his Elementary Particles is one of the best books of the new millennium)

    Music:
    Titan - A Raining of Sun and Light And Love for You and You and You (Remember Yes when they amazed you?)
    Ekranoplan - Assemble Head in Sunburst Sound (For me this is the definition of stoner rock)
    The Vision of a Dying World - and The Grammar Lamb (from some of the nicest and hard working fellas in town)
    Skygreen Leopards - Disciples of California (Can't put it down)
    Earth - Hex or Printing in the Infernal Method
    Polyphonic Spree - The Fragile Army (nowhere near as good as their previous and the silly Marilyn Manson black outfits with the red, white and blue album art is enough to turn anyone off. Gets better with subsequent listens)
    SunnO))) - The Grim Robe Demos

    Best Recent Show:
    SunnO))) - By far the most moving and meditative experience in a room of sound of the year. I have never heard the Casbah louder.

    Best Recent Blog and Newspaper Reads:
    The new section in SD Citybeat - Homeless Person of the Week - These humans have more stories and balls than most and the stories with the faces create a small sense of humanity for these folk. (I'm biased. I worked for the Salvation Army for 2 years feeding 400 homeless folk a night at the Naval Hospital in Balboa Park. Troy, if you're reading this, I would like to write one for Slamm. Fund the fucking cold weather shelter SD)
    CatDirtSez - For his excellent take on the immigration issue from a lawyerly perspective. Wake up America!

    Movies:
    None - Any recommendations? I've seen all the shit, where's the goods?

    TV:
    More than half of the reality will do for me. Love Man Vs. Wild
