"Lorraine's Lowdown" gets Boardman's briefs in a bunch at The Union

“Lorraine’s Lowdown” gets Boardman’s briefs in a bunch at The Union

“What me worry”?

The Union columnist George Boardman never graduated past the podunk San Mateo Times, so it’s hard for him to appreciate the talents of beloved and award-winning columnists at big-league newspapers such as The San Francisco Chronicle.

Although Amphlett’s San Mateo Timeshas all but vanished, Northern California’s largest newspaper, The Chronicle, earlier this month was named the…

Union columnist Boardman gets it wrong (again) — this time he's confused about the "Sunrise Movement"

Union columnist Boardman gets it wrong (again) — this time he’s confused about the “Sunrise Movement”

The published corrections are endless with The Union’s weekly columnist George Boardman, as we all know. And here’s another one that he owes us:

This week George writes, “The Sunshine Movement, the same great folks who helped propel Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez into the crosshairs of conservatives everywhere, has announced it is backing Audrey Denney’s encore effort to unseat Rep. Doug LaMalfa.”

Huh?…

The Union columnist George Boardman can't even spell County Supervisor Heide (sic) Hall's name correctly

The Union columnist George Boardman can’t even spell County Supervisor Heide (sic) Hall’s name correctly

“Now, when is he going to run Heide Hall’s statement?” The Union columnist George Boardman writes on his blog.

George, our County Supervisor’s name is Heidi Hall, not Heide Hall.

Congratulations! You just got a Medill “F’!. I guess that’s par for the course for a San Mateo Times alum.

The Union columnist George Boardman runs ANOTHER correction

The Union columnist George Boardman runs ANOTHER correction

“CORRECTION: The estimated value of the shopping carts rounded up by Auburn Police was $3,200, not the $3,500 reported in last week’s Observation,” Boardman writes last week.

No kidding! I wrote about this Boardman blunder last week. We jokingly called it “Boardman math” at our house.

Exit question: Why does The Union run this clown’s column? Podunk.

The Union columnist George Boardman's blog posts about me are getting a little creepy

The Union columnist George Boardman’s blog posts about me are getting a little creepy

George Boardman Credit: The Union

Earlier this week, I got an email that the Chevron station in Nevada City was the victim of a credit-card skimming incident. I emailed the information to Don Rogers and Brian Hamilton at The Union, and others might have too. It resulted in a news article — reasonable enough, and a good job.

But here’s how George Boardman, The Union’s weekly columnist, handled this…

You can’t make this stuff up! In his near weekly blooper,  The Union’s weekly columnist George Boardman writes: “One of newest trends in the restaurant industry is the $15 lunch salad at upscale chains like Chop’t, Sweetgardenand Just Salad.…

Clerk-Recorders office points out "misinformation" in Boardman's reporting

Clerk-Recorders office points out “misinformation” in Boardman’s reporting

Editor’s note: I am out of town, but I noticed a post on The Union columnist George Boardman’s blog “County election office comes stumbling out of the gate again” that had a big hole: No comment from the Clerk-Recorder’s office. So took 30 seconds to email their Office for comment. The response is below.

Let’s hope George meets with the Office and corrects the misinformation on his blog — as…
