I came across a Fletcher fundraising invite today, hosted at the home of notorious plaintiffs lawyer and convicted felon Bill Lerach. What is most striking is Lerach is the same Lerach who sued the late Fletcher booster Duane Roth’s company, Alliance Pharmaceuticals, and famously said about the suit, “I don’t give a f*** about the merits.” Duane and Ted …

Freeped Today and Feeling Fabulous
I was the subject of a satirical post on San Diego Free Press. Bob Dorn had some fun today, using some garden-variety stereotypes about liberals and conservatives, because I dared to confront a premise, proffered by OBRag’s Frank Gormlie, supporting a single-use plastic bag ban. I don’t think that Bob Dorn likes that I comment on the progressive’s little paradise. …

SD Fire Dept union boss willing to let people die, rather than implement emergency response reform?
I’ve been advocating for 2 man fire/emergency response teams since the tragic 2003 San Diego “Cedar” brush fire, when I first became interested in firefighting operational reforms. It’s simple — two 2-man teams properly stationed apart in one fire station’s “district” = shorter response times than one 4-man team. Lives are saved. Of that, there can be no doubt – and …
