Manchester sells Grand Del Mar to Di-Fi's hubby
Re the U-T's sole Pulitzer: I just have to speculate that the U-T's Pulitzer came shortly before publisher Helen Copley shuttered its D.C. bureau and then sold the paper to Platinum Equity of Beverly Hills. The award-winning story was written by Marcus Stern, a longtime U-T D.C. bureau reporter, who doubtless knew for years about GOP Rep. Randy "Duke" Cunningham's gambling and drinking aboard a Potomac River pleasure boat, his shady associations with lobbyists, and possibly even the bribes-for-votes scandal. But Cunningham was a GOP darling and skated until the curtain came down on the Copley's Union-Tribune, when Stern finally was cut loose to write what he knew.— March 27, 2015 12:05 p.m.
Onions and onions
Since we prize civility and positive thinking in America's Finest City, why not have an Ethics Commission do what junior high school teachers everywhere are taught to do: catch politicians and their funders being good? That way Stacey Fulhorst wouldn't have to change the name of her shell of a watchdog agency into something even more meaningless AND she would reduce her workload, not that it's exactly heavy these days anyway.— March 26, 2015 9:31 p.m.
Political entertainment
You can tell who's the Labor Dem and who's the GOP fatcat by the freebies they get. I think Lorena would be a great replacement for Boxer: she's tough as nails and Latina as well. A natural.— March 25, 2015 4:15 p.m.
What’s in a team name?
Akron shoulda gone with the Rubbernecks, since its main manufactured product was tires. Or maybe not, either one. But I do know where Santa Clara is. They have a law school.— March 25, 2015 4:12 p.m.
Hysterical complaints on the city of San Diego’s website
I thought this story was very funny. Editing should have happened by the complaint writers who can't spell: "duks, drugies." Site's openness may have a chilling effect on future complaints.— March 24, 2015 10:15 p.m.
San Diego mayor's PR journey resumed
Looking forward to the retirement of "vintage Sacramento Bee scribe Dan Walters" who's reliably curmudgeonly about Dems but was himself promoting our sunny GOP Mayor Kev for Governor.— March 24, 2015 5:13 p.m.

Israeli junkets and talk of a "Final Solution"
The Boston Globe today reports that Speaker of the House of Representatives John Boehner will shortly be visiting newly-elected Prime Minister Netanyahu in Israel. I sure hope AIPAC is paying, not American taxpayers.— March 21, 2015 3:15 p.m.
Israeli junkets and talk of a "Final Solution"
Israel lobbies big-time through AIPAC to buy the fealty of U.S Representatives who are supposed to represent us, but in fact represent only their own interests as they seek to assure an uninterrupted flow of campaign contributions from wealthy San Diegans like Irwin Jacobs and others who have lifetime commitments to Israel, right or wrong. The AIPAC arrangement feels close to corrupt. It was outrageous for Prime Minister Netanyahu to accept the outrageous invitation of the Republican-majority Congress to speak here weeks before the Israeli election; it was beyond the pale for Netanyahu to opine against ongoing American-Iranian policy negotiations while he was on American soil. it was disgraceful for these lily-livered Democrats to send their chiefs of staff on such a loaded junket just before Netanyahu showed up here; it is disgusting that these American staffers to Democrats met over there with contemptuous right-wing Israeli critics of the President of the United States. If there is a nuclear-armed regional threat in that part of the world these days, it is militant and desperate tiny Israel that has long had nuclear weapons and has re-elected a Prime Minister who's finally, openly, ruled out any hope for creating a Palestinian state. Where once the United States was rightly a generous and faithful friend to the State of Israel, now that alliance seems expensive, dangerous and a huge liability for all Americans. I am afraid to imagine where this may end.— March 19, 2015 11:05 p.m.
