I hasten to add that locally popular & highly respected PBC officials Clint Eastwood & Peter Uberroth were off the hook for the Fox & Limbaugh caper. Uberroth was in Greece for the Olympics and Eastwood was also absent mourning the loss of his mother.

I’m just sayin’ the old Crosby Clambake deserves a reputable corporate sponsor and the PBC can do much better. Who knows, maybe even Tiger and other great champions may return someday. The good and gentle people of the Monterey peninsula and countless fans deserve no less.

Actions and activities and decisions from The Decider and those in his administration cannot be overseen if those responsible for oversight aren’t there.

How bad does it have to get, and how dire do the consequences of inaction have to be, before the Congress decides that it can no longer afford to leave the president home alone and unsupervised?
