This weekend, Valley farmer David Mas Masumoto writes in Sunday's paper about basketball phenom Jeremy Lin:
"Lin sat on the New York bench for much of the season. His success now has many guessing: What other gems are sitting on the bench, any bench in any profession?"
Our lead Sunday editorial addresses Fresno County's underfunded pension system and how little leaders have done about the problem.
Saturday's page will feature two Valley Voices. One, by Richard Smith, talks about the rewards of volunteering. The other, by Pat Dodd, puts a pre-Oscar spin on movie watching.
In Monday's page, columnist Kathleen Parker puts it blunty: If the GOP nominates Rick Santorum, Obama will win re-election:
"It gives me no pleasure to rap Santorum, a man I know and respect even if I disagree with him on some issues. Not that he minds. He's a scrapper who loves a fight -- and he forgives. Bottom line: Santorum is a good man. He's just a good man in the wrong century."

No mention of the awesome editorial by Michael Der Manuel Jr. on govt. "pretzel logic"??? Masumotos blurb about others questioning who's on the bench seems to be in his own mind and without support while Kathleen Parker continues to masquerade as a conservative and will inject her anti-conservative message opinions wherever someone gives her space...and we all know about the benefits of volunteering and non-benefits of too much TV...still wondering though ,why no mention of MDM Jr. and his take on a serious issue that touches all of our lives here... but plenty of space for fluff.
Wow how negative Mr. Murray. It's quite a stretch to find a way to make a negative comment on this posting, but then that's your MO. The Murray household must be a very negative place.
P.S...a shout out for another RINO editorial page writer "One Note Navarette" and his now almost weekly "conservative bashing" piece...oh, and let's not forget the "Doonesbury" subliminal message run without interruption at the bottom of the page...tough decisions being made down there at the Bee on a weakly...no, a daily basis.
Daivd...a real name that you mis-spell often?...just another gutless, anonymous attack...I guess I could agree with all the nonsense here and in the Bee...and be what...a positive idiot?...you deal with your identity issues and come back after and maybe we can have a serious conversation...your counterparts seem to be unwilling...or unable.
Daivd...throws a hand grenade and then runs to hide like those other "gutless wonder" counterparts of his... past,present...and predictably in the future.If people want to come after me...I get it,that's OK...may or may not be deserved but I'm an adult and can accept the consequences of my actions but do it in a way that shows accountability and a minimum level of maturity...I remember breaking a kids' nose(unintentionally)over similar non-prevoked behavior in Jr.High...he'd come up and hit me when I wasn't looking and then run back to his desk to hide...on one of those trips back,I got a hold of him as he stumbled and he went face first into his desk...needless to say,his juvenile behavior ceased and after his healing we went on to be friends...I never intended to break his nose nor do I anyone here but these endless attacks with no accountability are juvenile and should stop...especially the main offender that starts with an "R"...time to shake off that Jr.High mentality and become an adult.
