Reader writers' favorite drinks and where they drink them
My fave is a soymilk variation on a White Russian: cold vanilla soy milk tons of kahlua ice healthy never tasted so good. you can guzzle these and get protein at the same time.— April 24, 2009 3:06 p.m.

UCSD pays for trans-species project.
Tina, I disagree with the lovely Fred. What turns me off is your name-calling and rude language. You've savaged Miss Cardenas' work, now, far more than the READER. Sad when the apologist becomes the perpetrator. Viola D.— April 1, 2009 8:28 a.m.

apologist –noun 1. a person who makes a defense in speech or writing of a belief, idea, etc.— March 31, 2009 3:23 p.m.

thank you, micha. that explains alot-- and that's the story to tell. One more time: never trust a journalist or anyone in the media. Never. Mr. Grimm did his job. You do yours. Good luck.— March 31, 2009 10:36 a.m.

Tina, I've been a playwright for 25 years. I've had savage reviews-- I've had many great disappointments in my career. (Try facing 11 actors who must go on stage every night knowing the audience is half empty-- and you wrote the damn thing.) Most of my disappointments came from being a woman playwright. But any artist has this choice: do the work in silence and hope it speaks for itself. Or speak up. If you choose to speak up, you learn very quickly that you must live with what's said about you. Being courageous does not take the pain away. It's just what you have to do. You are a fierce apologist for Miss Cardenas. But she will learn to stand on her own or crumble. My husband has trouble listening to me talk about my pain-- why would you ever think that strangers want to hear emotional whining? That's what the art is for.— March 31, 2009 9:14 a.m.

Micha-- Have you ever watched KUSI? Oh, my Lord, child. I would have worried more about you and your project had you BEEN on such a sad station. My husband and I always stop on it to laugh when we're flipping channels on our old school analog-convert TV. Cry over something important. Take it from an old lady who is proud of her gender. Grow up. Life is hard. (Even Dragon Life.) An artist's life is even harder. Never trust a journalist. Talking to the media isn't Show an' Tell. Others will always tell the story they want. Don't like it? Learn to write and tell your own. I went to your blog to find out more about your project-- and couldn't! It was impenetrable. The prose sounded like a teenage girl's diary. After reading your comments, I now believe that Mr. Grimm's story dignified you and your project.— March 30, 2009 3:39 p.m.
Pro-football pushing San Diego closer to bankruptcy

Pro-football pushing San Diego closer to bankruptcy
Don, Your article was picked up by "Library Link of the Day," which means it was blasted worldwide to over 300,000 librarians-- as a single article of note. I learned this from from Arlene Sahraie Library Services Director, Bergen County Cooperative Library System,Hackensack, NJ. who emailed me your article! (I live in Clairemont). If any city in the US were a poster child for the greed and mistakes of the last 10 years, San Diego is it. It's as if our city government, with the nodding somnalent approval of San Diegans, has operated a giant Ponzi scheme of no-accountability. When I say this to my native SD friends, their eyes glaze over and they say, "How 'bout them Chargers, baby!" As Mike Davis's UNDER THE PERFECT SUN, a history of San Diego, tells it, San Diego was founded on the myth of paradise, and it will die with that myth--either by the guns of TJ drug lords or our collapsing city plumbing system or the city workers who have retired with more money than they ever made in their working lives or by the giant potholes that are slowly swallowing our streets. Anyone who doesn't believe it should drive through the condo-ghosttown downtown. Look in the windows of the empty restaurants. Visit La Jolla Shores and see the buckled boardwalk. Visit my local North Clairemont branch library and see the crowds of patrons. (What major city closes its libraries for an entire week at Christmas?!) We are a dying city-- and the tourists will recognize it before San Diegans wake up. IT's not all good. Some days are bad. Thank you for speaking the truth. Sincerely, Alex Finlayson— December 30, 2008 7:42 a.m.
Tuning out
KPBS has the worst programming (radio just a bit better than TV) of any PBS affiliates I've experienced. Hewell Hauser? Wonderland? Lawrence Welk? What jokes. San Diego/California merchandising propaganda. I have to hunt on KPBS for the worthy national and international programming that is standard PBS fare in other US cities. I will NEVER give money to KPBS until it acts world-class instead of small town.— July 2, 2008 12:42 p.m.
