The main problem is the City's current $461 million unfunded pension liability, which the City hopes to retire within 30 years. The City of Santa Monica pays over 200 employees more than $120,000 per year, and is notorious for overpaying its employees. "We are not in a position of crisis, but a...

In June 2017 a house on the 200 block of our street (19th) the father and son were brutally stabbed by 2 men. The house where the father and son lived had 'a Santa Monica regulation height fence." The men had machetes and stabbed the father and son over 20 times. They jumped right over their front yard fence. Our fence is 6 feet high to protect us for just that reason. But now the City of Santa Monica wants us to lower both our hedges and fence from 6 feet to a regulation 2...

My story has been smuggled past my handlers, across my ankle bracelet, over the objections of my attorneys, and to you, my mostly male fans and followers. I assume you've read the cascade of stories from women, first documented by Ronan Farrow in the New Yorker, then picked up by the NY Times. I, once the most powerful man in the capital of the entertainment industry, have fallen so far so fast that I no longer care what fate awaits me. Bring it on, prosecutors! Trust me,...

Photographs released by NASA's Australian Deep Space Monitoring facility, reveal the presence of an ancient settlement on Mars. Looking much like Roman ruins, the settlement on Cydonia Plains comes complete with outbuildings, a statue of a giant frog, and a discarded helmet. Mars is the "Red Planet" for a very good reason: its surface is made of a thick layer of oxidized iron dust and rocks of the same color. Maybe another name for Mars could be "Rusty." But the ruddy surface...

When I'm bored I run on the beach. There's always something new in Santa Monica, and it's usually near the 105 year old Pleasure Pier. DrumDancepray.org had a colorful flag display flapping in the wind. Their website says that their organization is dedicated to curing war, disease, poverty, homelessness and disease, by getting all 195 countries of the world to sit on the beach every night and beat bongos, or something. Ok, fine. Their website actually says their mission is...
A 51 foot long advertising boat with an electric sign similar to those on the sides of the Goodyear Blimp, has been spotted by, well, 1000's of people. Trouble is, some of those people believe the boat detracts from their view of sand and sea, seals and dolphins.

"Our boat will travel more than 3 miles across Santa Monica bay and will be capable of static to video messages...

It took them 20 minutes to deliver him into the custody of Santa Monica Police, who were no doubt happy to finally issue a...

In a recent twitter post, the United States Geological Survey reported that Hawaii's Mt. Kīlauea Volcano now shows a happy face.

For the last 17 years, I have fed the homeless in Reed Park as part of The Vineyard Church's programs. I've been doing it for over 17 years, and I am told that May 20th will be our last day.

There's no law that says you can't give food away to the poor in a public park. So it's...

Electric scooters have become ubiquitous in this town. They zip down under used bike lanes at 20 miles an hour, past traffic and schoolchildren and dogs and old folks. Old people like me generally hate the Birds, but I must admit they have become a guilty pleasure of mine. I probably look ridiculous in my tie, running down a dream that never would come to me. And why not? Electric scooters are frankly, the best urban solution anyone has thought of for last mile...
