Susan Davis debates GOP challenger almost 1/3 her age
Good point. However, I don’t feel Gloria has the “rip off your opponents face” ruthlessness that Trump has that propelled him through the debates and into office.— October 28, 2018 5:43 p.m.
Susan Davis debates GOP challenger almost 1/3 her age
Gloryhole will never be president, he will never be anything out of this permissive state.— October 15, 2018 11:48 p.m.
Farewell to a professional love
Don, you are so humble. You are always the best looking man in the room and probably the smartest too!— September 23, 2018 7:21 p.m.
Farewell to a professional love
Don, I’ve followed your stories a long time, from before J. David at the Union-Tribune and then The Reader. To hold out to 82 to retire certainly underscores enthusiasm for your craft. We will miss you! But some are breathing a sigh of relief, namely the local scammers, greedy developers, errant lawyers and dirty politicians. One less watchdog to expose their misbehavior. I’m sure you won’t miss being hung-up or cursed out when contacting sources for comments. You can set your own deadlines now. As some people have said, you can now indulge fully in the other passions you love. I wish you the best with your health and that you enjoy many long, happy years with your family and friends. Best, Ponzi— September 20, 2018 1:52 p.m.
