MINI BLACK HOLES ON THE WAY?

OBAMA SAYS BACK OFF ATTACKS ON FAMILIES

Barack Obama said he's offended by attacks on Sarah Palin's family. We agree. LINK

Here in Costa Mesa, the CM PRESS has long had a policy that we will bend over backwards to avoid publishing anything negative about family members of any local politicians or public figures.

We get tips over the transom all the time, and we never use them. Families, and especially children, are off limits.

We even avoid attacks on politicians and public figures themselves when the stories involve their religion, private lives, sexual orientation, etc.

Several years ago, we had an operative of a congressman (not in our district) contact us to see if we would run some smear pieces on an opponent. We declined.

Later, we were contacted here in Costa Mesa and asked to run some smear stuff about a City Council candidate's sexual orientation. We declined.

When a couple of local politicians' sons had scrapes with the law. We didn't publish a word.

When a Latino activist's daughter had a scrape with the law. We were silent.

If we ever do publish such things, there will have to be a very, very good reason for doing so, and, even then, we will avoid sensationalizing it.

ABOUT ANONYMOUS BLOG SITES

We believe that if you're going to write something about others, that you should have your name associated with what you write.

If you don't want your name associated with what you write, then you probably shouldn't be writing it.

We consider those who have anonymous blogs that attack others to be cowards and beneath contempt.

We also consider those who link to such blogs--in a transparent attempt to have someone else do their dirty work--to be just as cowardly and beneath contempt.

These are people who throw rocks and hide their hands.

One such blog in Costa Mesa is called CMTRUTH. This is run by a barely literate coward who is afraid to put his name with his blog.

He runs smears of others, but is too cowardly to put his name on his garbage.

If you read his blog, you'll see that some of the things he writes have a certain pattern and certain mistakes in the use of the language that he frequently makes. The authorities are also aware of these patterns and mistakes.

By the way, my name is Martin H. Millard, I approve of the things I write, and I stand behind them. And, I'm not hard to find. Back row, end seat, black shirt.

IF YOU'RE RUNNING FOR OFFICE IN COSTA MESA...

If you're running for office in Costa Mesa, you may be contacted via telephone or email by the CM PRESS if we have some questions about your positions.

We will always clearly identify ourselves--Martin H. Millard.

We will never have anyone else do the calls or emails for us.

There are others with similar names in Costa Mesa.

If you are contacted by them, they are doing so for their own reasons--maybe to renew an old friendship, or to wish you well, or to help with your campaign, or for other reasons of their own.

They are not contacting you on behalf of the CM PRESS. We make our own calls and contacts. We do not delegate.
