Reporters Say Braun Leaving U-T. Several Companies Reported To Be Taking Interest in Buying It, but All Have Financial Woes
Response to #18 & #21: Paul - Agreed on Aguirre as hammer seeking nails (problems). A reformer needs a bulldog personality. In situations where there really ARE massive problems (caused by extremely powerful forces to boot) wherever one looks, one must begin by choosing each fight judiciously. Perhaps you, I, Don, city and county voters wouldn't be frustrated nearly to the point of apathy if Aguirre had built consensus & support first rather than proceeding as a juggernaut & assuming all right-minded citizens would fall in line behind his parade. (Have we omitted any appropriate mixed metaphors? Maybe something about tilting at windmills..?) On the other hand, San Diego's major print & broadcast media have been enabling the entrenched corruption at city & county levels for decades. When Aguirre tried a systematic approach, he too was frustrated by media portrayals & the resultant lack of progress. The present closing of ranks to preserve the status quo would be enough to turn most anyone into an angry hammer. & Don - The dissertation concerning the U-T's smearing tactics has already been written.. by you. *smiles* Just gather up all your pertinent articles/ essays/ replies you've written here, collate them and submit. Matt Potter's not too shabby either ;). Those efforts are continuing to make a big difference, keep up the good work. ~jill— September 17, 2008 3:04 p.m.

well, I came to the Reader to discuss sex education, but I'll bite. I have to agree with you paul. Aguirre indeed has alienated many, but I will depart from your depiction here to say that situation is mostly due to the spin provided by the mass media moguls controlling our county. If Aguirre had been allowed to perform the real job of city attorney when he first attained the post, a great deal of woe could have been spared the "Finest City." ~jill— September 17, 2008 12:13 a.m.

Am I wrong, fumber? or will you disappear like Phred & become phumber? I never even mentioned here that my entire career has been in horticulture & natural history, so I guess you duped me..— September 16, 2008 11:20 p.m.

no rat here (although I have problems with family members who are apparently of the pack-rat species). I just posted at roam-o-rama, and am beginning to feel that the rat you think you smell is your own hole. ~jill— September 16, 2008 11:13 p.m.
Trailmaster Schad unveils his plans for Roam-O-Rama in the 21st century.
Ok, I was referred here by fumber during (what became) a silly discussion about Fred Williams' proclivities. How odd that I never even mentioned my career in natural history & docent work at local nature preserves - is fumber psychic? ~jill— September 16, 2008 11:09 p.m.

i am already well-acquainted with the small insert describing places "in and about" San Diego. Forgive me for thinking you were speaking literally. So, no suggestions? We could always continue this discussion right here, I reckon. I'll invite others if you will ;) ~jill— September 16, 2008 10:53 p.m.

I see that your comment has been properly edited, fumber, dammit. Still, Phred has failed to make a re-appearance, which is quite telling. I am intrigued & want to know where I can interact with you &/or like-minded folks.. ~jill— September 16, 2008 10:47 p.m.

so, should that be a proper acronym, "b&rrnofehw"? Do please inform me about the roam-o-rama? ~jill— September 16, 2008 10:44 p.m.

OMG, fumber! I don't think I could survive 30 seconds.. (ahem). I had considered something far less costly for him to maintain for such purposes, like a few ducks or a teen tied up in a closet. While I am thankful for finding you, hon, could you please direct me to any reader forum where sanity reigns? *hugs* to fumber— September 16, 2008 10:35 p.m.
