Rant with Randi: ‘Millennial generation lacking job interview skills’

I constantly question how and when this massive paradigm shift took place from the parent being in charge and calling the shots, to the child being the center of the universe.

Democrats in Rancho Santa Fe?

When I tell people I am associated with the Rancho Santa Fe Democratic Club, reactions are predictable: “Rancho Santa Fe Democrats: Isn’t that an oxymoron?” Or: “Isn’t that a contradiction in terms, like guest host, jumbo shrimp, military intelligence, business ethics, pretty ugly, and the living dead?”

Hats off to the members of the City of Del Mar’s Finance Committee Pension Sub-Committee for the 18-plus months they spent learning the ins and outs of the City’s $23,000,000-plus pension obligation.
