Fight the empathy shortage
Interesting to know about this now-famous Afghan Girl who seems to have died from having contracted Hepatitis C from her husband. Like that haunting image of a beautiful exotic young girl, "A Thousand Splendid Suns" offers a powerful portrait of shrouded women on the other side of a world that we Americans invaded after 9/11. An old dear sitting in my row, clad in shocking pink, said she thought the Globe's preceding play "Mariachis" was more lighthearted, but then she acknowledged it was important to have seen "A Thousand Splendid Suns." The drama is adapted from a story of the same name and plays at The Old Globe until June 24. It is a wrenching experience, brilliantly staged and acted: it implicitly asks whether we, as occupiers, can change anything.— June 6, 2018 6:40 p.m.
Seats and screens and sci-fi spectaculars
You a very funny guy.— May 31, 2018 7:03 p.m.
Seats and screens and sci-fi spectaculars
No way do slow-selector "blue-haired honeys" compare to a guy who sits NEXT to you in an empty theater. I am really worried that you did not gather your highest dudgeon and ostentatiously relocate. What he did was creepy, Scott. (I remember those long-gone Sports Arena Glasshouse movies where swabbies would congregate to watch Schwarzenegger movies, one in every other seat, but I thought that was just machismo.)— May 31, 2018 4:53 p.m.
The Kardashian Konundrum
This DA's race is shockingly new-era "progressive." Like, it's crazy. Cleopatra here has zero experience as an office manager of anything, let alone 400 lawyers, and she's had less than a decade's experience defending criminals, never prosecuting a single one. But she wants to be San Diego County District Attorney? Probably she's nice enough and certainly she's pretty, but it would be, well, criminal to vote for such a person for DA. I have to go with Summer Stephan who is actually qualified for the job.— May 25, 2018 3:58 p.m.
Texas oil funds San Diego hit spots
If Lorena can't pull her new-Dem husband Nathan into a Supervisor's spot with all her cash, clout and help from grateful lobbyists, what is going to happen to the guy? What will happen to her if he loses yet again?— May 24, 2018 7:54 p.m.
Fletcher couple rumbles over spousal support
Unseemly for Gonzalez-Fletcher to predicate his expensive child support on winning a June Primary election for Supervisor. Also maybe a turnoff for GOP, Independent and Democratic voters. Nobody likes a guy with that kind of hubris, even if they can swallow the political party flip-flopping. Thanks to Matt Potter for answering my question from a few weeks ago about whether Gonzalez-Fletcher still works for Qualcomm. Bummer for him that he does not.— May 19, 2018 10:18 p.m.
Between the covers, between the sheets
Great to be saved from spending $17 or even $8.50 on such a travesty which elsewhere was totally dishonestly reviewed. Though I did love both Andy Garcia and Don Johnson in the old days.— May 17, 2018 7:21 p.m.
One Amazing Night at the San Diego Opera
You did witness something of immense consequence: a pastiche of a little-bit-of-everything was called, falsely, San Diego Opera.— May 17, 2018 7:04 p.m.
Out-of-town money cascades into supervisor race
You gotta love election years. The GOP Lincoln Club "Job Creators" fund wants to ensure that Fletcher-Gonzalez is down and out of work. "Rancho Guejito" PAC money is based in NYC. One over-exuberant ex-GOP Assemblyman goes after another former GOP fellow-traveller, Fletcher-Gonzalez, maybe because F-G's having a political identity crisis and calling himself a Democrat. Democrat Lori Saldana, a union member, is being targeted by labor unions. One answer to this Supervisorial craziness is "none of the above," and filling in the oval next to the name Omar Passons.— May 17, 2018 6:51 p.m.
Beware fake Apple pop-ups
Excellent and funny point about not knowing whether to trust "foreign" accents, because it could be your neighbor down the block. I think the warning flag is ANY UNSOLICITED NOTICE that things are haywire with your computer. (Though I will say, notices alleging computer trouble are ALWAYS repeated, sometimes for days on end, and they shake one's resolve to ignore them as bogus.) The takeaway? Never give any cold-caller remote control access to your computer. Never give an authoritative-sounding stranger your credit card number. Never give anyone your social security number. Stay strong, Luddites!— May 13, 2018 6:02 p.m.
