The push for a U-T advisory board that isn’t one-sided
You forget, dwbat, Roger Hedgecock is out on disability since his wife tripped on a bad San Diego sidewalk, but otherwise he would fit right in with this rogues' gallery. The only exception is former police chief David Bejarano, who has always been a genuinely community-minded person.— April 26, 2017 4:52 p.m.
Qualcomm gave $1 million to Trump inaugural
Hope you're not calling me a whiner. Just stating the facts, man: these practices are reprehensible and especially for those who call themselves Democrats. Neo-libs do whatever they please and skate, as in "If I was Qualcomm, I might do the same." But there are other choices than dutifully following "corporate rules" -- more principled, more humane.— April 20, 2017 7:51 p.m.
Qualcomm gave $1 million to Trump inaugural
That's a lot of money for an alleged Democrat to give to President Donald Trump's inaugural weekend of partying. And if it was an attempt to establish a quid pro quo, well, no luck there. Just the other day, Trump trumpeted that he would be cutting down on H1-B visas for foreign workers (who are widely believed to be paid less than their American counterparts.) So much for gratitude! The political calculus on both sides in this instance is beyond reprehensible.— April 19, 2017 9:42 p.m.
Deep state GOP justice?
I thought Paul Pfingst was an excellent District Attorney.— April 17, 2017 10:34 p.m.
Deep state GOP justice?
Are you saying it was a BAD thing that Judge Sabraw refused "to even temporarily block a California law requiring mandatory vaccination of school children?" Why on earth would an intelligent person rule to block such a law -- based on hard-won legislation brought by a courageous physician, long overdue in the face of dangerous declining vaccination rates among anti-science know-nothings, and coming on the heels of a statewide measles epidemic? As for Sabraw's ruling in favor of Qualcomm over Bombardier eleven years ago, we take comfort from the recent ruling (in a different court) that Qualcomm today owes Blackberry bigtime. And finally, Sabraw is not a candidate for District Attorney: his reportedly well-qualified wife is.— April 14, 2017 3:02 p.m.
High-dollar Democrats
I think a well-funded Latino caucus within the California League of Cities will be a force for good. Good for David Alvarez for making it happen.— April 14, 2017 2:20 p.m.
Second thoughts about Hillcrest 111 at Seventh and Robinson
A brilliant reveal here. Thank you again, Cassander. I looked up the seven "here" links and the one about "targeting community planning groups." The density push is a disaster and the bullshit about "racism and classism" is unmasked. Running dogs indeed.— April 12, 2017 3:39 p.m.
Little San Diego intelligence
Maybe they need to bring in Alan Bersin. He's intelligent.— April 12, 2017 3:16 p.m.
Fisher bids adieu to $1.2 million annual compensation
More a question of ethics than philosophy: you might be able to direct your daddywarbucks to the History Department or the Anthropology Department or the Athletics Department, or to endow a Chair to be filled by a qualified academic, but no, donors to universities should not be able to direct funds to "bump"compensation for anyone, especially sports coaches. That this practice is tolerated at SDSU is a black mark on the school.— April 12, 2017 11:24 a.m.
Fisher bids adieu to $1.2 million annual compensation
Dwbat, you have just provided the San Diego Reader a sterling equivalent of the New York Times' excellent motto, "All the news that's fit to print." "If it weren't true, Matt Potter would not have written it." Lacking a wink-ey emoji, you may have misinterpreted my sardonic comment: we have full confidence in Potter's research and reportage. But you are dead right about local TV news' reliability. Except for traffic accidents, it is hard to get Barbie and Ken news readers to deliver the whole truth to viewers.— April 12, 2017 11:12 a.m.
