The Buick Reatta was a luxury sport coupe (and later, convertible) built from 1988-91. The “sport” aspect of it was somewhat dubious  — well, it did have only two seats, but nothing else was very sporty about it. A shrunken Riviera might better describe it.

posted January 26, 7:06 am on Artvoice Daily

Everyone knows the old adage that there are “two sides to every story”. So, when you write a book in which you mother-eff the Presidentas being rude, but the President doesn’t see it that way, you might expect a bit of blowback from that. Especially when you have a track record of making stuff up ... (more)
