In fact, our city seems pretty much the same as ever. For example:
- Our downtown heavyweights still scurry around in perpetual motion, determined to infiltrate and control the mayorhood
- Our elected officials still get that faraway look in their eyes as they prime their pumps for higher office or a lucrative move to the private sector
- Our local news media (daily newspaper, weeklies, online deliverers) still cling to their fixation on one-upping the new mayor with snarky, sneaky, snippy, snaky, sneering, snarly, and snide political coverage – unable to set aside overblown egos and get down to delivering responsible, informed, mature journalism
- Our failed mayoral candidate Carl DeMaio still pursues his obsessive compulsion to privatize government functions in the city of San Diego -- a dry run for his dream of privatizing state and federal government
