Quick, when is Abraham Lincoln’s birthday? When is George Washington's birthday? Every schoolchild in America used to know these dates. Now we celebrate "President's Day". I wonder if anyone knows which Presidents the day is celebrating. (I suspect our current President thinks it's about him). (And it may be...keep reading). Is it President's *Day* or President's *Weekend*? Or does that depend on what stores say in ads? The spelling itself is an issue. But we'll get to that. When I started t...

I had covered the Lakers for several years before Mitch Kupchak came along. Kupchak told the media to call him Mitchell. ”That’s because Mitch Chortkoff was here first,” he said. “Mitch is taken, I’ll be Mitchell.” Now Mitchell has been fired after 30 years with the organization. Jim Buss, Jeanie Buss’ brother, has been fired too. And John Black, the Lakers’ publicist for the last 27 years, has been fired. It’s a very sad time for key members of this once-great franchise. The Lakers are coming...

Has Mayor Jim Clarke mentioned our city of approximately 40,000 is in the red by over $360 million? Perhaps Jeff Cooper, soon to be mayor, will get a loan from his employer, Wells Fargo Bank, to cover any bounced city checks. If you need another example of pension abuse, just look to Jacksonville, Florida. America’s oldest city is in the hole $2.85 billion for its pension debt (December 21, 2016, the Times-Union, page 31). Rumor is strong that our city needs to dump its garbage collection servic...

The three Rs -- recitals, rainbows, and a rap -- that took place last Friday night may be less than traditional. But they still signified that a whole lot of education is going on in CCUSD -- an education delivered via theatre arts. More than 900 CCUSD families and Culver City community leaders and residents packed Vets Auditorium (CCHS’s interim theater while the Frost is being renovated) on an unusually rainy night.
