Tijuana Adult Entertainment: Hookergate v. Ann Romney

April 23rd, 2012

Indeed, the presidential election of 2012 may well turn on the often-unexpressed, quiet revulsion for what I call the “debasing of America”—indelibly captured in the lavish GSA/Las Vegas party, the Secret Service sex scandal in Cartagena, Columbia, and the L.A. Times’ publication of the photos of U.S. soldiers gleefully posing with body parts of Afghan bombers.
Sadly, we have done it to ourselves. 
As Dana Milbank writes in the Washington Post, “We are, after all, the land of Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan and Snooki. Debauchery is an American specialty.”
Milbank may have found the heretofore undiscovered mother lode of hidden rage among all Americans. It shows up periodically in the “right track/wrong track” polling question. Which currently reads highly negative, 61 percent wrong track, 31 percent right track, according to the CBS News/New York Times.
“Hookergate,” as the Secret Service prostitute scandal is now being dubbed, serves as another log on the fire of disgust that may shock the pollsters, and upend the carefully crafted strategies of both political parties.

Tijuana Adult Entertainment: Bonita High’s Erick Velasquez wins full scholarship to Pomona College

April 23rd, 2012

Erick said the Johns Hopkins center has helped him become more self-confident and informed and exposed him to academically and personally enriching adventures.
He cited summer academic camps at Cal Lutheran and Roger Williams universities, UC Berkeley and Johns Hopkins, a business camp and a cooperative Johns Hopkins-Network for Teaching Entrepreneurialship program among his favorite CTY experiences.
The business camp involved high school students building a business from scratch. He and his student partner Hector Escalante of Los Angeles Unified School District established Shandals, a corporation creating an unique shoe/slipper product.
Adult business executives mentored us, but we had to do the actual work,” Erick recalled. “It was cooperative learning. Each team had to identify corporate mission and goals, establish a budget, name the corporate officers who’d handle executive, operations and finance duties and give a presentation to a panel of judges in Washington, D.C.”

Tijuana Adult Entertainment: Roundtable: Mayoral Debate, Border Death Video, AG Reverses Kruzan Position

April 23rd, 2012

Border agents are part of Homeland Security and not subject to the same public scrutiny as police. In the last two years, eight people have been killed along the border under disputed circumstances. The video is part of a new documentary on the use of excessive force by border agents airing tonight at 8:30 on Need To Know on KPBS.
Harris Reverses Self in Kruzan Case –- State Attorney General Kamala Harris has reversed her position in the Sara Kruzan case. Kruzan killed her pimp when she was 16 and spent 17 years in prison. Her horrific life included being molested, kicked out at 11, gang-raped at 13 and then pimped out the same year.
The AG’s original opinion, delivered to the California Supreme Court for a habeas corpus hearing, said that Kruzan’s relationship with her pimp was at best financial and professional. Therefore she wasn’t a victim of domestic violence and not entitled to early release.

The troops, including six Army and one Air Force personnel, have been linked to a prostitution scandal involving a Secret Service advance team sent to Cartagena last week to prepare for President Barack Obama’s visit to the Summit of the Americas.

The Secret Service announced the new resignations, bringing to six the number of agency officers who have lost their jobs so far because of events April 11 at their hotel in Cartagena, which involved at least some agency personnel taking prostitutes to their hotel rooms.

News of the incident, which involves as many as 20 Colombian women, broke a week ago after a fight over payment between a prostitute and a Secret Service agent spilled into the hotel hallway. A 24-year-old Colombian prostitute told The New York Times that the agent agreed to pay her $800 for a night of sex but the next morning offered her only $30. She eventually left the hotel, she said, after she was paid $225.
