City attorney Goldsmith boasted how he worked on Filner ouster for 8 months
Jonathon Swift may have coined the term "yahoo". Yahweh is a variant of Jehovah, so the aliens must be sending their top beings.— October 21, 2013 8:53 p.m.

Tax dollars go to support Spawars, from all over the country, so who's stupid. But your portrait of a crystal meth addict explains much. Spawar is next to County Mental Health, no doubt they recruit aliens and those they abduct from crystal meth abusers at CMH, give them top secret clearance, and make them interplanetary warriors at six figures. This explains Edward Snowden and the secrets he won't reveal.— October 20, 2013 1:50 p.m.

Wow, they are cheapskates, I certainly wouldn't want to comment on the kids I hear playing music. To do a proper classical article, one must check out the scores from the library and compare recorded versions, for starters. I don't see how I would get minimum wage for making enemies.— October 20, 2013 1:29 p.m.

Thanks for the encouragement, last I heard they weren't paying much, I'll check it out.— October 20, 2013 1:07 p.m.
Bax versus Purcell
You're not wrong to try something new.— October 20, 2013 1:01 p.m.
Progressive trumps retrogressive
I commend you for bringing attention to some neglected composers. I'm puzzled by the contest between wine and whiskey. Tastes vary, but prove nothing. It's difficult to make classical music interesting to the general public, your format is unusual, but it's not wrong to try something new.— October 20, 2013 12:59 p.m.

Now I thought *Les Quatre Cent Coups*, described your recent work history, DW, when it was translated as *The 400 Blows*, turns out the title translates better as *Hell raising*. If someone paid you money for your prose, I congratulate your salesmanship, but I don't defer to your writing skill, plainly it's not superior to mine. If ever you stuck to the facts, you rarely do here, mostly you practice personal attack, and pure denial of terms, it's very poor prose. Mr. Bauder practices polemic in the tradition of Tom Paine, or Martin Luther, hell raising perhaps, but his prose is not as hot as the King James Version. Like those, he wishes to stir action as much as inform. His hell raising is intended to bring the City's demons to light, we're not surprised at an occasional troll.— October 19, 2013 9:23 p.m.

Coup means a punch, strike, or attack, it's so flexible a term that denying it's applicability is just silly. Those who claim expertise for argument lack facts and expertise. Facts make the expert and the argument. One can claim expertise based on geography to the limits of one's senses, but only when you report what you actually experience. Mr. Bauder's current geographical location isn't relevant, dwbat, he is an expert in San Diego political history and proves it with facts, to refute him you need to challenge his facts, or the logic of his conclusions. Attacking Mr. Bauder's use of metaphor, or his expertise, doesn't prove anything, except one's limits as a prose writer.— October 19, 2013 4:04 p.m.

Those who want to leave their keyboards and personally experience the sort of shocking behavior that brought Filner down can check out the Psycholizard show at the Tiki House, 7-9pm tonight. Be sure to identify yourself by internet handle. Groping and kissing is not guaranteed, unless you're the perp of course.— October 18, 2013 12:23 p.m.
Filner pleads guilty to one felony, two misdemeanor counts
There must be more than we're told in this plea bargain, but one thing is certain, Filner pled guilty to a felony because the prosecutor would accept no less. From the beginning he seemed genuinely contrite. The sad lesson is that a public figure must never express remorse, only good people feel remorse, and understand their own weakness, but show remorse and weakness and the hypocrites will circle for the kill, howling with the sadistic joy only the remorseless feel. That political mistake might be the right move for him personally, I hope he learns better manners and recovers from this. He's been wronged, but the only worthy revenge is to live well.— October 17, 2013 6:41 p.m.
