Despite providing the most entertaining UM commencement speech I have yet to hear at the Forum a couple of years ago, he has increasingly become overtly condescending and eager to polish the boots of the metropolitan powers-that-be.

      <![CDATA[Wonder how much severance Pepe will get? Contreras got a package worth over $4.4 million.<br>
<br>
<br>
Scripps Paid Former Head of Newspaper Division $4.4M Severance<br>
posted: 3/29/2012<br>
by: Dan Monk &#124; bizjournals.com<br>
<br>
The man who once ran E.W. Scripps Co.’s newspaper division got more than $4.4 million in cash and stock awards after leaving the company last May. Details on severance payments to Mark Contreras were disclosed in the Scripps (NYSE: SSP) proxy statement to shareholders March 26.<br>
<br>
Contreras was a senior vice president for six years until his “involuntary termination without cause” on May 25, 2011.

      <![CDATA[Normally I do my best to avoid responding to those intellectually challenged who post lies and insults regarding my character and opinions. I truly believe it is okay to have a differing opinion;  it is also degrading to the negative posters who do so because another's point of view  doesn't  happen to agree with theirs.

      <![CDATA[According to my observation, the people who whine about Wendi Thomas being racist -- whether in the comments section, in the letters section, or among people I know personally -- are themselves some of the most grievous racists.<br>
<br>
Wendi's column is the only one that I make an effort to read. She is quite talented and smart, in my opinion.

<br>
I wonder whether the Scripps "mother ship" was any more sensitive or humane in letting these big shots go than the CA's management was when it shit-canned all those reporters.
