(Late) Morning News Round-Up -- 12.11.09: Scammers and Christmas, like peas in a pod...

Here is a story that will warm your heart. Someone is using the holiday season good cheer to rip people off by telling them they are donating to the San Mateo Police Officers' Association... fuckers.

On the other hand, a good way to spend money would be to help schools -- which is what the San Mateo County Community College District might ask you to do next year... but it would be for taxes, not for gifts...

And while the Community College District is looking for a tax, the Belmont-Redwood Shores Elementary School Distrit is looking for a bond... maybe.

The San Bruno Park School District is also looking to improve their facilities -- specifically the Parkside Intermediate School.

You go Daily Journal Editorial Board! They say that pots clubs are worthy of discussion in cities... especially if that discussion is slightly slurred and interspersed with giggles...

You know the economy is bad when this is the headline for a company and it reads as good news: Bay Area-based airline startup Virgin America narrows loss. (Thank you County Times...)

The Governor honored two lifeguards from the Coast this week. Other than that, the Governor is keeping a higher profile in Copenhagen than he is in California...

Here is some more good Coastside news thanks to the Review. The clinic formerly knows at the Coastside Family Medical Center is getting some federal stimulus money to renovate. Thank you Congresswoman Eshoo...
