Stand down from a violent overthrow of the government. Mr. Donohue’s characterization December 5 of Iran as a “nation of pedophiles and liars” and of the current administration as “quisling” ought to be proof enough of his detachment from reality.

He advocates a coup by our active and retired military in part because of alleged unfair treatment of some members. What happened to that oath...

After working late one Friday night a couple of weeks ago, I decided to stop at Oink and Moo for take-out. I walked in and noticed a young woman off to my left having dinner. What caught my eye was the slab of ribs in front of her. Not only did they look delicious, but all I could think of was that the slab was almost bigger than she was. The hostess was ringing me up; I went for my ATM card and realized I didn’t have it. I don’t carry my credit cards and almost never have cash which was the case this night. Out loud I said,...

SAN DIEGO COUNTY – Compared to 2012, in general, single family homes in San Diego County increased in market value by over 20 percent in 2013.
