A true leader provides solace and comfort in time of great sorrow or horror. You are incapable of even a modicum of either. By the way, it’s your inept administration that underfunded forest and land management.

I predicted T would accuse and blame for CA fires. Surprised he didn't accuse Gov. Brown of starting them.

lack of sleep affecting my ability to type...

Evavuated yesterday from Malibu. 4 hours from Trancas to Pacific Palisades. Harrowing. Wmoke and ash.

101 closure hampering my drive home from Oregon. But sun is SO nice in Pismo Beach. It was a gray holiday for sure- but loved seeing family and friends!

[DBates @DBatesPhotog]

happy new year, all. hoping 2018 finds a way to get bo-bo out of the White House.

[DBates @DBatesPhotog]

So...Beatty, Nicholson, Bob Evans et al never "harrassed" anyone? Just sayin'...

[DBates @DBatesPhotog]

Loving the deep fog on Point Dume.

[DBates @DBatesPhotog]

Personally, I don't consider shopping/gift info to be "news". Too much going on in the world to waste broadcast time on Black Friday, etc. Why buy ads if free coverage is available???

[DBates @DBatesPhotog]

When applying for gun permit does applicant have to prove they can tell difference btw beautiful female jogger and a deer? Just sayin'...

[DBates @DBatesPhotog]

Journalistic integrity compromised when #KTLA weatherwoman hawks her product line/website on #KTLAMorningNews, don'tcha think?

[DBates @DBatesPhotog]

Loved #MarkTwainAward to #DavidLetterman. Disappointed that #PBS cut #AlFranken from broadcast.

[DBates @DBatesPhotog]

Att LA area homeless: OK to camp in front of any Best Buy for the next couple days...No police will hassle you. Something to think about, isn't it?

[DBates @DBatesPhotog]

Gee, wonder if shoplifting #UCLA men in China were inspired by Trump's presence there????

[DBates @DBatesPhotog]

I like to be served by 1 waiter at a restaurant. Team wait staff and/or ordering at counter gets less tip from me. Don't tip for bad/no service.

[DBates @DBatesPhotog]

#RobertForster is one of our best and under-appreciated actors. THRILLED that he's appearing w/ #TyneDaly at the #Geffen.

[DBates @DBatesPhotog]

Despite hopes, "thoughts and prayers", I don't think the world is going to get better. Small planet, growing population. Pervasive anger.

[DBates @DBatesPhotog]

Can't stand audiences and applause on network AM shows. Sticking with #KTLA! I only want to hear camera operators laugh!

[DBates @DBatesPhotog]

2 thumbs up to the woman that flipped off the so-called "presidential motorcade". She was not at work so shouldn't be fired.#ImpeachTrump.

My first ent. biz sexual harassment was by creepy Dickensonian boss @ Warner Bros.prop dept. So I transferred to sound studio. Gay boss!:)
