That was forty years ago.<br />And, again, I do not believe that I ever said that Fuentes is 90 years old. My point was that, if I were ever to say such a thing, it would be an example of manifest hyperbolic intent. Do I need to explain the word "manifest" to you? Apparently. Good Lord. Please go away.

Gee, aren’t you supposed to be supportive of local institutions our students may transfer to? I wonder what would happen if word got out to faculty and admin. at Chapman, that some yahoo professor over at IVC JC has been publicly bashing their institution?<br /><br />Yeah, I thinks I get it Roy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16908834.post-6330998756865789162011-02-03T20:15:26.020-08:002011-02-03T20:15:26.020-08:00"Anonymous" 6:40--you seem to be making ..."Anonymous" 6:40--you seem to be making the familiar noises of the "incorrigible one." <br />No, I have never suggested that Fuentes is 90. Possibly I did so with manifest hyperbolic intent, in which case, again, no, I have not mischaracterized his age. He was born in 1949. That is no secret.<br />I never said that Fuentes is literally uneducated. Naturally, I am perfectly aware that he went to college (he started at a community college--at Sana Ana, I believe--and then transferred to Chapman). The man has a BA in Poli Sci from a mediocre college but situates himself in roles and settings that imply learning and seems to embrace phony honorary degrees (not to mention photographs of himself with such "great men" as Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan).

How could this be, Roy?<br /><br />Not that I’m sticking up for the guy, it’s just that these two discrepancies kinda jumped right out at me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16908834.post-47436428233356666892011-02-02T11:45:07.434-08:002011-02-02T11:45:07.434-08:00The Melodyland Theatre was open between 1963 and 1...The <a href="http://gogonotes.blogspot.com/2010/03/melodyland.html" rel="nofollow">Melodyland Theatre</a> was open between 1963 and 1969.
