The Signal.com's Daybreak: July 26, 2009
Hello, Santa Clarita Valley! Welcome to The-Signal.com's Daybreak, your point of entry for the day, and a quick journey through the past, present and future. Let the adventure begin:
It’s all about Palin
I stopped reading Gary Horton's commentaries a long time ago because they are usually so ridiculous and untruthful.
A very unhealthy health care bill
The current House health care bill (H.R. 3200) is getting more and more criticism from both sides of the aisle due to its rejecting the moral concerns of the majority of Americans.
Friends forever
I've been thinking a lot about friendship and the different kinds of friends we have. Some are there for fun and some for the hard times. Some are there to be understanding, some to give, some to take and few just for love. Each kind of friend fills a different need for us, and when I think about you (at The Signal), you are a friend to me because you are there with words.
Peter Gillies: Candy bombs and the future of Iraq
My view of Iraq was from the cockpit of an Army UH-60L Blackhawk helicopter. Although the days were long and very hot in Iraq, there was always some "down time," during which my fellow soldiers and I would sit around jaw-jacking. We pontificated about everything from politics to the current state of the war - the one we were in the middle of. We generally flew only a few hundred feet off the ground trying ...
‘Gore-istas’ still hysterical
In the July 21 edition of The Signal, Dan Glidden wrote a letter ("Save our smog?") disputing my earlier letter ("Climate change hysteria") on climate change legislation.
Tim Myers: Joe Messina’s chances on the Hart board
After several weeks of examination and analysis, most statisticians agree the incumbent administration and currently ruling clerics determined the outcome of the Iranian presidential election before the actual counting of the votes.
Scott Thomas Wilk: Joe Messina’s chances on the Hart board
I'm Las Vegas' worst nightmare. I always leave a winner. The reason? I know the rules of the game are designed so ultimately the house wins. I play long enough to make some cash, and then walk. It is all about knowing the system. And that is why Joe Messina, a three-time losing candidate for the William S. Hart Union High School District Governing Board, will be declared a winner this November. The rules of ...
Reynosos of SCV on ‘Family Feud’
The Reynoso Family of Santa Clarita are ready to battle against The Harden Family of Los Angeles on the nationally syndicated Family Feud, beginning on Wednesday, July 29, at 6 p.m. on KCAL (Channel 9).

Cityhood vs. annexation: Studies went horribly wrong
"Informed choices." That is what Supervisor Mike Antonovich says he wants for the people of West Ranch, Castaic and Tesoro del Valle. That is not what they'll be making when they vote Nov. 3 unless a number of things change - and fast. At issue is nothing less than the future governance of the communities immediately west and north of Santa Clarita city limits. Do residents of those areas want to form their own city? ...
Schools pool resources
Placerita Junior High School and Golden Oak Adult School are working together to create a computer lab for students from both of the William S. Hart Union High School District schools to use.
Local chefs practice their trade
Students work on their creations at COC's Culinary Institute.

Hello, Santa Clarita Valley! Welcome to The-Signal.com's Daybreak, your point of entry for the day, and a quick journey through the past, present and future. Let the adventure begin:
Obama's Marxism
America has lost its moral compass. Adrift in the sea of Obamunism, and embracing moral relativism with the enthusiasm of a liberal attending his first ACLU meeting, we have become like Captain Jack Sparrow's compass - the needle, rather than pointing in the right direction, points to wherever you want it to go. With the people's deposing of Manuel Zelaya, the leftist Honduran dictator who tried to hijack his country's constitution by staying in office ...
