Yes We Cannes! The Yacht That Tells a Lacht -- Everything, Actually -- About Copley Newspapers
Thank goodness Lucchino high tailed it out of San Diego and is back on the east coast! That carpet bagger caused plenty of $$$$ damage to the taxpayers!— June 16, 2008 8:10 a.m.

Don, how could you NOT know who Edy Williams is???? Shame on you! Here Edy Williams is in her prime (60's/70's); http://www.imdb.com/media/rm3798702080/nm0005557 http://www.theothersideofkim.com/images/uploads/2… And her she is today; http://cache.viewimages.com/xc/3002166.jpg?v=1&c=…— June 14, 2008 9:54 p.m.

"Forget about Edy Williams topless in a fountain; this year’s celebratory vat of escapist merchandising culminated in one of my Uncle’s penultimate achievements." ========================================== Hahahhahahaaa........ That was funny; http://tinyurl.com/5e3g3b Don't be sweating Edy Williams, I watch her Academy Award winning performance in "Beyond the Valley of the Dolls" at least once a week, and her old spots on the Beverly Hill Billies whenever they do he re-runs. Pretty funny gimmick page!— June 14, 2008 2:52 p.m.
Vinson & Elkins Agrees To Pay $4.35 Million in Malpractice Suit
Hey Don, this has nothing to do with the lawsuit settlement-but have you read this guy William Engdahl??? I have been reading some of his editorial articles, and they are pretty good. Here is one on Credit Default Swaps; http://www.financialsense.com/editorials/engdahl/… He also has a pretty good article on oil speculation; http://www.financialsense.com/editorials/engdahl/… Good stuff…….he is pretty much sounding the same alarms you have been. http://www.financialsense.com/editorials/engdahl/…— June 13, 2008 10:38 p.m.

Michael Ellis, a Founder of Metabolife, Gets Six Months in Custody for Lying to FDA
Sounds like Nancy Hoover got a Michael Milliken prison deal-get 10 but out in 2, for whatever reason.— June 13, 2008 12:03 p.m.

Yes Don, I was pretty sure you had retired, “observer” is just trash talking for whatever reason. I know I read the UT for two reasons, 1) was Ann Landers-had been reading her since 1980, they added in Dear Abbey later which was an added bonus! And number 2) your column. First, I always thought you knew the financial workings of corporate America inside out, and could always communicate your knowledge to the readers. Second, your business philosophy was on many levels identical to mine. For instance, in one of your columns you stated corporations have a duty to MORE than the shareholders, they had a duty to the share holders-but they also had a duty to the employees and to the country. I think that pretty much sums up your philosophy (and mine) to business and life. There is more to it than a one sided, one dimensional business or corporate paradigm. Now, the last thing that always had me wondering was this; I read many good business writers (LA Times had a good guy back then…cannot recall his name, but not as good as you), and I always thought the UT was “minor league” for you. I thought you should have been at a bigger paper/media-like the LA Times or the WSJ, or a magazine like BusinessWeek or something similar. Did you ever have opportunities to go to a bigger media?? Or were you just happy staying at the UT???— June 13, 2008 11:56 a.m.

They should seize all of the assets Ellis has. His property and off-shore money are all ill-gotten gains. The government allows crooks to keep their money and mount a defense with it, because lawyers write the laws. ========= Actually the gov can indeed seize all of Ellis's money, just like they do with drug dealers. The problem is they have to locate the money first, and in Ellis's case I do not think they have found it, at least not yet. The test for seizing cash is; can you show that the money you currently have is from legitimate sources?? If yes, then they cannot seize it, if no, well then they can.— June 13, 2008 8:24 a.m.

Don, were you "a guy cut loose from the very same (competitor) publication that he trashes"? Or is "observer" trash talking you?? I thought you retired from the UT.— June 13, 2008 8:21 a.m.

I aimed my reporting at investors, not at the executives. They were not appeased. Best, Don Bauder ============================================ And the crusades against the ballpark scams certainly proved that up! I think a majority of residents were in your corner on those scams, and if not then they certainly are now.— June 12, 2008 2:02 p.m.
