Can't-Miss Stories of the Week

Read what your neighbors had to say about a burglar hiding $12,000 between his buttocks and a former 49ers player allegedly assaulting his ex-boyfriend over soy sauce.

There's never a dull week along the Peninsula, but even some of these stories had us saying, "Huh?!"

Tom Ricks commented, "I was thinking it gives credence to the phrase "money coming out the ka-zoo" --I can only hope the stolen cash was in dollar bills......."

 

Former 49er Charged With Assaulting Ex-Boyfriend Over Soy Sauce

Michael Stogner wrote, "This is consistent behavior for our District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe

Look to race and not being a member of the Blue Team, if this was a white 47 year old CHP officer causing head injury to his wife in front of the children, he would dismiss the case.

So why do you keep voting for bigger Government? Seems the consumers have solved the problemRead More without "It's" help.

This is a much more effective means for dealing with the issue. Legislation is not.

I agree, the public has the right to know what they are eating. It is absurd to be purchasing foodRead More that contains GMOs and not be able to know it is in the food.... why the secret if it is so safe??? I will not shop at any food stores that refuse to provide the public with information on what I am eating or serving to the people I care about. Trader Joes and Whole Foods have my loyalty for having the courage to stand up against the big guys and set an example by doing what is right for the consumer and not folding to pressure from Monsanto, Dupont and the other corporate giants that could care less about our safety and only care about how much money they can rake in.
