Speaking of current and former Good Day Sacramento talent, a helpful reader emailed me just now and reminded me to point out an item Graswich included in his column today, which I will copy and paste in its entirety in case you didn’t see it:
Fly away: Rough weekend for Channel 31 Good Day Sacramento star Mark S. Allen. The TV personality was stopped by Sacramento County sheriff’s deputies while driving through Sacramento Intergalactic Airport. Deputies called the Highway Patrol to test Allen’s sobriety, and he was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence. Allen can be wild and crazy on TV, but he behaved himself in custody, CHP Officer Lizz Dutton said. No comment from Mark. …
All emphasis R.E.’s except Highway Patrol, which I have bolded because I thought it would be funny in a Jackie Harvey way.
(Completely beside the point: Even Graswich makes fun of SMF’s International status? I don’t know why people don’t understand this: You can fly to Mexico, which is another nation, meaning you can travel between 2 nations, which is the definition of the word international. I looked it up. I don’t want to hear anybody making fun of it anymore.)
The Sac Rag 
R.E. has been making fun of the airport’s name for years. He also gets his cheap shots in on J and K Streets by referring to them as “Jay” and “Kay”, respectively. My favorite is when he calls billionaires “billionaires”.

“International” airports receive the coveted designation by virtue of the lenght of their longest runway. Just because the planes departing [or arriving in] Sacramento land [or originate] in Los Angeles or Miami or Chiwawa or Toronto doesn’t make the airport international. Like all good things, “international” status can just be measured by lenght.
