Last Minute Avalanche Of Commentaries

AND YOU THOUGHT YOUR SNAIL-MAIL BOX WAS FULL!
Today the Daily Pilot - our newspaper of record for more than a century - offered to us a deluge of political commentaries to digest before the election on Tuesday.  It's kind of a good news/bad news kind of thing, too, because NONE of the commentaries that were published online - and a couple before them - will appear in print, either before the election or after.  Yep, that's right - if you don't read these digitally you won't read them AT ALL!

WE AIM TO PLEASE...
So, your friendly little helper here at A Bubbling Cauldron will provide you some links so you can occupy your weekend reading - and commenting - on these most recent in the blizzard of information and opinion stacking up around your chairs at home and in your hard drive, too.  I'm also going to include some links to things that may have already appeared in print because they provide you with some context.  Just click on the link to be transported to the site - unless the Pilot has another round of glitches, that is.  Keep your fingers crossed.

ME FIRST...
First (since it's my blog and I make the rules) we have the entire commentary I submitted to the Pilot earlier this week on my choice of Bob Rush for the 74th Assembly seat, HERE.

STEPHENS
Earlier this week candidate John Stephens published a commentary criticizing language on a Steve Mensinger/Colin McCarthy-sponsored political flier, HERE.

MCCARTHY
Colin McCarthy published a rebuttal to Stephens' commentary, HERE.

HULL
3M sycophant Howard Hull published a lie-filled commentary HERE.

DAILY PILOT COMPENDIUM
The Daily Pilot published a compendium of snippets from many letters submitted to them in recent days - space restraints prohibited them to publish them entirely - including mine!  Read those snippets HERE.

Then today the avalanche began...

BEVER
Lame Duck Mayor Eric Bever published an attack on former Mayor Sandra Genis for her views on the Banning Ranch deal, HERE.

MENSINGER
Steve Mensinger published a piece on how he supports the police that spins the issue so fast your heads will swim, HERE.

MONAHAN
Gary Monahan dons his OC GOP lackey suit and tries to convince us that a vote for him and the other 2 M's is a vote against unions, HERE.

BRIDGES
Resident James Bridges tells us that the supporters of Measure V are getting desperate, HERE.

HUMPHREY
Former Vice Mayor Jay Humphrey tells us that 'out-of-town-money supports Measure V, HERE.

EVERETT
And, as if almost on cue, Dave Everett - representing the Associated Building Contractors (ABC) chimes in with a commentary that pretends to tell us that 'Measure V would level the playing field', HERE.

 NEVER IN PRINT
Again, a reminder, none of those which have not already appeared in print will EVER appear on the ink-smeared pages of the Daily Pilot - online is your only shot at them.

DEBATE REPLAYS
And, for those of you who are not football fans, the City web site has the replay schedule for all of the candidate forums and the charter debate between Jim Righeimer and Katrina Foley so you can view any or all of them before Tuesday's election.


THAT'S ALL, FOLKS...
Have a great weekend.... I'm going to watch A LOT of football...
