San Diego Escorts: Ravens Notebook: Mattison’s unit look to contain Chargers’ Gates …
September 19, 2009 at 12:36 am | In San Diego escorts | No CommentsReed’s outlook is encouraging, too.
“Reed is fine,” Mattison said. “Somebody might have said that he wasn’t supposed to go. The next thing, I looked out there and he was intercepting passes, running all over.”
Tight end L.J . Smith (pulled left hamstring) was limited for the second day this week.
Meanwhile, inside linebacker Tavares Gooden declared that he’s definitely going to play against the Chargers after suffering a minor knee sprain against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Gooden participated fully in practice for the second day in a row.
“I wasn’t limping, that was my pimp walk,” Gooden said. “Yes, I’m going to play. I don’t know if you’re ever 100 percent in football, but I’ll have my speed. I ran around and finished practice. I’m just being smart about it and getting ready.”

San Diego Escorts: ACORN’s Illegal Alien Home Loan Racket

ACORN’s Illegal Alien Home Loan Racket
There’s one thing more shocking than the illegal alien smuggling advice that an ACORN official in San Diego gave undercover journalists James O’Keefe and Hannah Giles. It’s the illegal alien home loan racket that ACORN has already been operating with the full knowledge of the U.S. government.
On Wednesday, O’Keefe and Giles published the fifth in a series of BigGovernment.com sting videos. ACORN official Juan Carlos Vera coached the pimp-and-prostitute-posing pair on how best to pull off a border-busting smuggling operation. It would be “better from Tijuana,” he counseled on videotape. Vera then generously offered the investigative couple his Mexican “contacts” to bring 12 illegal alien girls into the country for prostitution.
GOP California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger now wants an investigation. But neither the Terminator nor any other California public official raised a peep when the very same San Diego ACORN office publicly announced a partnership with Citibank to secure home loans for illegal aliens.
San Diego Adult Entertainment: ACORN chief: Targeting a minority group with a prostitution sting …
September 18, 2009 at 7:24 pm | In San Diego adult entertainment | No CommentsThe money quote: “I think that says a little bit about what Mr. O’Keefe thinks that a black and brown organization would go for.” Well, no. It says a lot about what O’Keefe and Giles think the public would go for, and they’ve been proved correct. A sting involving basic tax/mortgage fraud simply wouldn’t have colored the national imagination as vividly as a dorky kid dressed up like Huggy Bear escorting a three-quarters-naked 20-year-old into ACORN offices. Frankly, if not for the horrendous detail about child-sex-slave trafficking, the premise would have made for a killer Anthony Michael Hall vehicle circa 1985. If they chose this storyline because they thought it might hold some special appeal for ACORN, that almost certainly has more to do with class than race: Prostitution is usually a function of poverty so it stands to reason that they thought it might lend them extra credibility with a group that serves a low-income clientele. Besides, if O’Keefe and Giles really believed streetwalking is a “black thing,” wouldn’t they have hired a minority actress to play the prostitute?
San Diego Adult Entertainment: Why Your Stadium Sucks: Petco Park
September 18, 2009 at 7:24 pm | In San Diego adult entertainment | No Comments1. The stadium is so representative of San Diego’s attempt to try and be something more than a military town with great weather. “Look at us, we’ve got a brick building just like in Baltimore!” “How crazy is it that we have a beach in right-center?! It’s because we have beaches in San Diego, get it?” “It’s located in the historic [read oldest building from the '40s and was inhabited by sailors and prostitutes until the pathetic SD club crowd tried taking over in the late 90s] Gaslamp District. The most embarrassing symptom of this disease is that the Padres have retired no fewer than 4 numbers (five if you include Jackie Robinson’s), all displayed over center field. Included among these are Steve Garvey (I assume for one hit in the 1984 NLCS) despite having played the majority of his career with the rival Dodgers, and Randy Jones (for a whopping total of one Cy Young, two All Star appearances, one Comeback Player of the Year Award, and a line of barbecue sauce). Pathetic.
San Diego Adult Entertainment: Fox News, Andrew Breitbart face more questions about videos
September 18, 2009 at 7:24 pm | In San Diego adult entertainment | No CommentsIn recent days, Hannah Giles and James O’Keefe, the conservative filmmakers who made the widely circulated ACORN videos, as well as BigGovernment.com’s Andrew Breitbart and Mike Flynn, who have been promoting the videos repeatedly on Fox News, have claimed that the filmmakers were never rebuffed by any of the ACORN offices they visited in their attempts to get ACORN to assist them in improper activities. However, in a newly released video, ACORN Housing Corp.’s Katherine Conway Russell directly rebuts those claims, citing a police report ACORN filed as evidence that she asked the filmmakers to leave the ACORN office in Philadelphia and called the police after the filmmakers asked suspicious questions.
Media Matters recently called attention to Fox News devoting significant programming to a video of Giles’ and O’Keefe’s interactions with an ACORN worker, who claimed she murdered her former husband and gave advice on how to run a brothel, but stated after the video was released that she had merely been attempting to “shock the …
San Diego Escorts: Tax and Housing Advice for Sex Trade
September 18, 2009 at 5:24 pm | In San Diego escorts | No CommentsThere was the problem of Giles’ occupation and income. She claimed to have been a hooker since the age of 13 ― you have to see Giles to realize how absolutely unlikely this was. A cheerleader since the age of 13, maybe, but a prostitute? No way. She also claimed to have earned $8,000 a month, which one ACORN adviser quickly calculated was $96,000 a year.
She suggested that Giles list her occupation for tax purposes as “performance arts” and take deductions for clothes, grooming and gifts for clients. As for the brothel, another ACORN adviser suggested as a cover vitamin sales or a Thai or Swedish massage spa or a group home.
In the San Bernardino office, they encountered Tresa Kaelke, who was rather engaging in her own way. She allowed as how she had turned a few tricks herself and once ran an escort service and shot her husband after first establishing a brutality defense. It’s the kind of know-how you just don’t find everywhere.

San Diego Adult Entertainment: Our view: And what of ACORN, Mr. Obama?
September 18, 2009 at 4:37 am | In San Diego adult entertainment | No CommentsThis is relevant 10 months after McCain lost the election and eight months into the presidency of Barack Obama. Obama is proud to say his relationship with ACORN goes back decades as a “community organizer” and a legal adviser. A month before the election he told members: “You will have input into the agenda of the next president of the United States of America.”
The input ACORN is having has shown up like a stain. It starts with charges of voter-registration fraud in 14 states, and includes video of ACORN employees giving unethical tax advice and suggesting ways to hide 13-year-old girls smuggled into the country to become hookers.
This plays out as “business as usual” on videos shot in secret inside ACORN’s offices — in Baltimore, in Washington, D.C., in New York City, in San Bernadino, Calif.
A prostitute is a “performance artist,” ACORN employees say. Smuggled kids who turn sex tricks are “dependents.”
San Diego Escorts: I-Team Investigates acorn’s Past Problems, 10News.com
September 18, 2009 at 3:01 am | In San Diego escorts | No CommentsSAN DIEGO — The 10News I-Team took a deeper look at ACORN and found that the non-profit group has had past problems, including allegations of supporting prostitution.
The I-Team learned that there have been previous accusations of abuse and corruption, with the accusers being members of Congress.
Undercover video capturing ACORN staff members in San Diego — as well as in several other cities around the U.S. — helping women they thought were prostitutes has placed a bright spotlight on the group, this time from the investigative arm of the U.S. House of Representatives.
“The members of this House do not support ACORN’s activities, including child trafficking, prostitution and a great many criminal activities, including voter fraud,” said Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), who is the ranking member on the bipartisan Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.

San Diego Escorts: ACORN Fires Employee in Video for ‘Unacceptable’ Conduct
September 18, 2009 at 3:00 am | In San Diego escorts | No CommentsACORN officials in San Diego have fired an employee caught on video providing advice about smuggling young girls into the U.S. for the purposes of prostitution to a couple posing as a pimp and a prostitute.
David Lagstein, the group’s head organizer in San Diego, initially said Thursday that he believed Juan Carlos Vera did his best to deal with a challenging situation and would not be disciplined. But three hours later, Lagstein reversed that decision.
He said he reevaluated the videos posted online in which Vera was secretly filmed answering questions about smuggling people into the U.S. through Tijuana. Lagstein said after further discussion with supervisors and state ACORN officials he decided Vera’s conduct was “unacceptable.”
The video was filmed by conservative activist James O’Keefe, 25, and partner Hannah Giles, 20, who posed as a pimp and prostitute as they did in their previous undercover stings.
