For sale: Tony McCune's yacht at reduced price
But alas, no one bacht. Güte nacht.— February 25, 2014 12:39 p.m.
For sale: Tony McCune's yacht at reduced price
TV spot I must have missed: "Hi, friends, Tony McCune here. (Strokes pet, ummm, dog, errrrr, canine) You know, over the years, you great folks have given me millions of your hard-earned cash for our cheap autos. And, in turn, I used thousands upon thousands of those dollars to purchase high-class ladies of the evening." (Dog turns head upward and gives McCune a quizzical look) "Honest."— February 25, 2014 6:16 a.m.
UT-TV goes dark on cable
Don, sorry if my intent was not clear. I meant to convey that that line was indeed applicable to Lynch. The column was written in 2006, by the way, long before Manlynchester assumed the U-T helm.— February 22, 2014 1:01 a.m.

Or not.......the link opened right up for me, nearly 2 1/2 hours after you said it's kaput. Favorite line, when Sullivan implies that Lynch is threatening Mike Aguirre: "The man has all the subtlety of a sledgehammer."— February 21, 2014 1:44 p.m.

Perhaps they finally figured out that Arnold wrote for the Reader for years: http://www.sandiegoreader.com/staff/thomas-k-arno…— February 20, 2014 7:08 a.m.
Employers squeezing employees' 401 (k) plans
And so far, I don't believe we've developed a cure for greed, short of total collapse.— February 19, 2014 9:41 a.m.
Employers squeezing employees' 401 (k) plans
And to me, this (see below) was the biggest travesty of that entire sordid affair. Why no incarceration for these buffoons? From CBS News archives: California's attempt to deregulate energy markets became a disaster for consumers when companies like Enron manipulated the West Cost power market and even shut down plants so they could drive up prices. There was quick reaction in Washington to the Enron audiotapes first aired by CBS News last night, and the tapes have become part of the debate over the President's massive energy bill. "People were talking about market manipulation. People were talking about schemes, people were making jokes," said U.S. Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-Wash. "While the president would like to have an energy bill, I'd like to have an energy bill that protects consumers," said Cantwell. Consumers like Grandma Millie, mentioned in one exchange recorded between two Enron employees. Employee 1: "All the money you guys stole from those poor grandmothers in California? Employee 2: "Yeah, Grandma Millie man. Employee 1: "Yeah, now she wants her f-----g money back for all the power you've charged right up, jammed right up her a—for f-----g $250 a megawatt hour." It's clear from the tapes that Enron employees knew what they were doing was wrong, and now lawmakers are responding. "I will offer an amendment to compel the Bush administration to get off the dime and get back this money that has been stolen," said Rep. Jay Inslee, D-Wash.— February 19, 2014 7:36 a.m.
DeMaio to run ad holding hands with boyfriend
Oh, I have no doubts as to the veracity of the article, but the more I see if it, the more I'm reminded of the "almost factual news" (credit Walter Mencken) aspect of it. Sign of our times, I guess.— February 17, 2014 4:16 p.m.
DeMaio to run ad holding hands with boyfriend
No disrespect intended, Don (or to anyone else, for that matter), but I keep checking the byline on this story to see if it's been switched to "Mencken".— February 17, 2014 11:50 a.m.
