Larry Page and his goog- goog- googley eyes
Get ready for the invasion of the Barneys. You won't be able to miss them. They will have an annoying presence sticking out like a sore thumb wearing Google Glasses. They will make other Barneys from the purple dinosaur to Barney Google with the goo-goo-goo-ga-ly eyes seem much less annoying in comparison. Google Glass isn't technology that luddites would rail about. It's not putting anyone out of work. If anything it'll probably create a small ...
‘TV will be a lot less gay’
The annual network list of canceled primetime shows cannot be pleasing to the progressives who measure shows based on their cultural and political usefulness. "TV Will Be a Lot Less Gay Next Year," the commissars complained at Slate.com. They counted 11 canceled shows that featured regular gay characters.
Boys & girls should shower separately
Editor, Manteca Bulletin, I am a mother of two girls and I am sickened to think there could be such a law passed by the California Assembly that would allow transgender boys to use female facilities including the bathroom, locker room, showers, or participate in female sports. Even more appalling is the letter from Karen Pearsall ridiculing Frank Aquila for bringing this information to the public eye. This is not about equality. It is about ...
Is City of Manteca ‘doing the right thing?’
Editor, Manteca Bulletin, City hall's recent statement, "Manteca is doing a lot of things right…that is why people want to move here", is less than transparent. People want to live here for a number of good reasons, but one is not because city hall is doing things right. In fact, the examples given are far from illustrating "things done right." The new fire station on Lathrop Road was actually built several years after the needed ...
A water plan for all of California from Garamendi
Name the fifth largest river on the Western Hemisphere's West Coast. Here's a hint: It's located where water power brokers are pushing a $14 billion twin tunnel plan that has the potential to destroy the Delta and keep a large swath of the richest agricultural region in the world fallow. The "river" is all of the water that flows out of wastewater treatment plants in Southern California and is dumped into the Pacific Ocean. It's ...
Reasons for higher government costs can often be found in our front yards
Manteca - by all standards in the Central Valley - has a minimal flooding problem.
Standing at work is better than standing in an unemployment line
Back in the 1990s, a Ford executive was showing off a new line of robots that assemble vehicles to a United Auto Workers representative.
A bright idea from Uncle Sam: Mercury poisoning possibility for every household
Lead and asbestos have been banned by government decree from being used in homes. Lead poisoning from peeling paint flakes as well as respiratory related diseases from asbestos fibers from insulation are well documented health concerns. Your health, though, isn't a concern of Uncle Sam when it comes to light bulbs. In just a little over six months from now on Jan. 1, 2012 it will become illegal to sell conventional incandescent light bulbs in ...
Why a Manteca, Stockton county supervisor district makes sense
Airport Way hurries past farm fields slowly giving way to urbanization in the southern part of Manteca.
Worst dwellings in Manteca: Drug houses
There are tattle-tail signs in many cases. The house may have more traffic than a 7-Eleven at all hours of the day and night. Those that come and go tend to be for short stays. Sometimes the house looks like a page out of Tobacco Road with a large volume of junk with the caveat it almost seems like a Sanford & Sons copy cat home business based on the turnover of everything from couches ...
Too bad those responsible for mortgage collapse weren’t pro cyclists
The federal government is an amazing work of arrogance, inefficiency and self-righteousness.
How Manteca tax dollars sent Dick’s Sporting Goods to Modesto mall
Dick's Sporting Goods is opening in Modesto's Vintage Faire Mall instead of Manteca's Orchard Valley.
Manteca must stop businesses from harming neighborhoods
There's a business down the street from your home. They stack trash in the front. They let the weeds grow a foot high. They allow vehicles to park the wrong way as well as block the sidewalk. They are extremely noisy at midnight. And it is like Grand Central station around the clock. It is a situation you wouldn't tolerate. Nor would you cut city officials any slack. You'd either want the business cleaned up ...
Water park resort: Is it Manteca’s Great Wolf Hope?
Great Wolf Resort is currently conducting extensive talks with the City of Manteca about the possibility of building a 400- to 600- room hotel, indoor water park, and convention center on municipal land immediately west of Costco.
Jobs coming to Manteca-Lathrop via the railroad
Curse the trains that pass through Manteca and Lathrop if you must but keep in mind they are arguably the catalyst that will generate the most jobs in the coming years in both communities.

Privacy matters & upset Americans
When I first started teaching criminal law (decades ago), I spent weeks on the Fourth Amendment and the "zone of privacy." The big case was Katz v. United States, decided in 1967. The FBI suspected that Charles Katz was using a payphone in a phone booth (those enclosed spaces we used to rely on before cellphones) to transmit gambling information to folks in other states (a federal offense). So they attached a listening device to ...
