Thunder Road

and there was moonshine, moonshine to quench the devil's thirst....

so I get up Sunday morning and there's a bunch of crows squawking outside..I go out and there's about twenty circling the big sycamore..I tell them to shut up and mellow out but they kept at it.. I think they were asking me to help them with their little problem..

I looked around and saw a big hawk pumping his wings and sitting on the gate..then he just sat there, looking around..the crows were agitated but sorry guys, I don't interfere with nature unlike some others..

so I didn't go to the beach today I went to the un-beach....fitting for the night before Halloween...

movies like Isle of the Dead and the Body Snatcher w/ Boris Karloff were fun last night..and tonight I get a double dose of the Exorcist, the only film to give me more chills than that blonde woman who scared the devil outta me awhile back..life is a bittersweet, but frightful irony...

and hey.. I didn't know that Dr. Laura was a college professor but she says so on her blog which I checked out after someone said I remind them of her...that's very scary!!

but Dr. Laura a college professor..where and when I'd like to know...giving a talk at Pepperdine doesn't make you a college professor, but maybe I'm just bitter...maybe I should work on myself before attacking everybody else..more power to ya, Laura..

so I'm coming home and I swing by the Polo Fields..there's a wine and car show going on there...good and thoughtful combination..cars and alcohol....

I turn left when all of a sudden a cool sports car comes speeding down Thunder Road and spins out into the dirt on Via Real, just missing the car ahead of me...I pulled out my camera but missed the guy who jumped out of the sportster...he looked just like James Dean or maybe Sal Mineo and ran off..then faded into the hot sun...like a mist..like a ghost...


and then Darryl Genis scares me by writing an op-ed piece, a very desperate op-ed piece that looks like it was written by a moron..words misspelled, atrocious grammar, misspelled his client Denunzio's name...a love letter of sorts to Joyce Dudley, who has her own grammar issues...maybe Dr. Laura could teach these two how to spell!

because this is getting redickerous....

walk this way...

see the drunkard of the village, falling on the street, can't tell his ankles from the rest of his feet, he loves his old laughing lady cos the taste is so sweet...

many moons ago, I was having a few beers at the Chanticleer (now Lucky's) in Montecito with a friend...afterwards I drove home...but I took the back roads because I didn't want to meet up with any cops....and I began thinking that I was playing a little cat and mouse game where I was the mouse....after some consideration, I decided not to drink anymore...I didn't need to, it was simple conditioning that says we must have alcohol when having dinner or in a bar....7UP is just fine...alcohol just takes up too much energy...

now there's a city cop that was arrested for allegedly jerking off outside or at the beach in front of two teenage girls...this is another thing I don't do anymore....cute teens nowadays could carry mace with them and..well..the risk: reward ratio is just too high...we adults are in a constant struggle to control our impulses, aren't we??

now speaking of jerkoffs..I think we've seen some in the news recently....Tony and Peter, and of course Steven Tyler, the once gifted singer from Aerosmith who recently fell down in his apartment and busted his face up.....we know Steven has drug and alcohol problems, so he was probably drunk when he beat himself up...

I think it all boils down to fear of authority and social anxiety..once you overcome it, you are less likely to act impulsively...because in the end, you're just looking to get caught..for some attention, like a liitle child looking for direction and help from an adult....

Overcome Fear of Authority

What effect do certain authority figures have on you?
Maybe you feel self conscious or perhaps they make you feel that at any moment you could say the wrong thing and get yourself or others into trouble.
Perhaps authority figures give you a vague sense of distrust or anxiety, making you unable to think clearly.

Respect, not anxiety
You may have been taught and conditioned to automatically respect figures in authority but respect can easily cross the threshold into fear.
We fear what is powerful and can potentially damage us in some way.
Whether that damage is locking us up or showing us up we can still fear authority figures without ever analyzing just why we fear them.

Authority figures as parents
Sometimes we learn to fear authority because the authority figures almost inhabits a parental role and if we we had strict, over-bearing parents they can push the same buttons.
Perhaps teachers at school were strict and taught us how to fear those 'in control.' Are your buttons easily pushed?
Many people who fear authority also suffer excessive guilt and are more likely to feel they have done something wrong even if they are not always sure what.....
well, never mind..if you fear authority this much it's probably because you're a wuss!

wow, it sure is nice weather lately....maybe I'll hit the beach today!!

Halloween 0.20

children of the damned

hey, I've been thinking about Halloween and this year I thought I'd try something different and I know some you fine citizens in Santa Barbara would support this...instead of candy this year, I'll give out those little bottles of liquor...the cute little tequila bottles, the rum bottles, the gin bottles...with all the drunk and enabling adults setting such a fine example for the youngsters, I say fuck the education and get 'em started on drinking early on...just like their moms and dads, who appear woefully ignorant of the affects of abusing alcohol....
teach them early how to solve problems the easy way, even before they can walk....just raise their elbows instead of their IQs!!

adults of the damned
is this what you want for your children??

Darryl Genis is getting his ass kicked in the Peter Lance hearings, so now the little parasite has found a new host, three time DUI loser Tony Denunzio and he's issuing press releases now...

Poor Tony, victim of his own stupidity, thinks Genis is gonna save him...but Darryl's got other problems it seems, ethically...recently, Genis got caught cheating on Lance's behalf, and made a deal with the County Council to pay the County $400 for misusing his subpoena powers....apparently he failed to go thru the normal discovery process like he was supposed to do....another guy who can't follow the rules...

a traffic stop is the most dangerous thing a cop can do I'm told...if you get squirrely because of alcohol, you could be physically restrained by one cop..or five cops..and that could be painful for you..you can blame everyone else, but the buck stops with you..so man up Lance and Denunzio...hahahahah.. just kidding...you guys aren't men..real men don't drink and drive!!
don't lose you head, use your head and don't drink and drive... simple....put Darryl Genis and his ilk out of business!!

the basement tapes of the damned
another thing I missed was the testimony by a cop who supposedly destroyed an audio recording/ tape that Lance said he needed....the tape was about twentry seconds and Lance's voice was on it....the cop allegedly said there was nothing on the tape that would require her to save it...


but I got a copy and exclusive picture of the tape and here's some of what went down:
cop: Mr. Lance, please step out of the vehicle...
silence....
Lance: NO! I don't want to and you can't make me!
cop: Mr Lance, please step out of your vehicle....

silence and some sirens heard in the background...then someone screamed

Lance: do you know who I am? I'm an investigative journalist...I'm very important and I've won five emmys, four calling birds, three French hens, two turtledoves..and a partridge in a pear tree...
cop: Mr. Lance I don't really give shit....NOW GET OUT OF YOUR FUCKING VEHICLE BEFORE I KICK YOUR ASS!!!
Lance:
I'm sorry..

crying is heard, then some garbled words....then it went silent....

and that's what was on the tape.... and it's for sale to the highest bid...

bungle in the jungle...

spare the rod, spoil the drunk

I guess the job of DUI lawyers is to protect their guilty clients from being found really really guilty..I'm having a hard time trying to figure these guys out...Genis it seems has spent all his time trying to trip up the officers involved in Peter Lance's arrest...and they are using the "News-Press" to show all the smoking guns they find...but in reality, Genis and Lance haven't found anything...when you cut through all the bullshit, it's a pretty simple case....

the good thing about Tuesday's hearing, the part that I covered is how crisp it was..the pace was faster and more efficient even though Genis is really the one trying to waste time..I don't think he's doing his work for free, so the incentive for him to drag it out is there..I just hope the judges, all of them, can see through the smokescreen..in the Lance case, there was no cover-up or vast gov't conspiracy....just some people who are trying to get out of a drunk driving conviction.....best way to do that is not drive drunk....but it's obvious the booze problem is pretty severe...

there's many people who are DUI sympathizers and are coming up with the nuttiest reasons and excuses for irresponsible behavior...the Lance case and now we got this Denuzio character....he supposedly got numerous fractures and a broken nose, yet he's out posing for the News-Press the next day... I think this dude is looking for a payday...Mark my words, I bet his BAC comes back around 0.09 or 0.10 ....kinda high for only one cocktail I would imagine...


and naturally, DUI chaser Darryl Genis is playing it up like a circus clown....trying mightily to whip up public sympathy with the carnival yellow ties, even before a hearing starts..and yes, the News-Press will be there for him..and so will Noozhawk......and probably KEYT.... all crying for Cam Sanchez to "release the video" "release the video"..like a bunch of Hare Krishnas chanting!! folks relax, the video will be out on "World's Dumbest Drunk Drivers" soon enuff....

well this is one reason I don't like dash cams..if the cops and robbers move out of view, then it's a conspiracy...the cops are hiding something....the only way to videotape this stuff is to have a videographer ride with the cops....that will be expensive..and what if he gets hurt and drops the camera?? what then? it gets very convoluted when too many cooks are in the kitchen..

I would suggest to all of Denunzio's drinking buddies to try a 12 Step Program because I'm sick of hearing them bellyache...if you need the cops to babysit you, then they will and that's why I pay taxes...but you drunks need to start paying it back....I don't care if you drink yourselves to death, just don't endanger me while you do it!!

the cops do fine without dash cams...as long as there are drunks on the road, there will be controversy when they're arrested, cries about police brutality by people who don't know any better...A Rodney King type smack down is one thing, getting a drunken idiot to comply is quite another...

and as long as there are drunks on the road, guys like Darryl Genis will have job security...it's truly a vicious cycle....


another Genis stunt

something happened I forgot to mention is when I entered the court on Tuesday, Kasi's husband Mark Corbett was seated up front..next thing I knew he was gone! He was there to support his wife no doubt and had a notebook in his hand but Genis was so threatened by him, he asked Judge Hill to remove him from the courtroom because he might be a potential witness...

well, I don't think Corbett was there on the night of Lance's arrest so what would he be a witness to?? I'll tell ya what: Genis didn't want Corbett to witness a blatant attempt by him and Lance to try to intimidate Kasi right before she took the witness stand....
it was a pathetic stunt by Genis that didn't work because I witnessed Kasi Beutel shred Peter Lance during her testimony...

maybe the Bowery Boys should go try to intimidate a glass of champagne!!!

canary in a coal mine

drinking champagne at the Canary Hotel, he thought he'd get away with it, till he met Officer Beutel...

ok so today I get to comment about two drunks..Peter Lance and Tony Denunzio...Denunzio had a front page story about him in the News-Press, much of what was reported in Noozhawk....and we got a sob story from an alcoholic who can't help himself.."oh I only had one cocktail" he claims.... and and..well I had a little more about Tony but just got back from the Lance DUI hearing and we'll deal with Denunzio later...but Darryl Genis is representing him and you know what..I'm not a bit surprised! first, Denunzio drives drunk with a suspended license from a previous DUI, gets busted, then he hires Genis.....geez, do all these drunk guys get stopped at the corner of DUMB and STUPID??

ok... so like I said I just got back from the Lance hearing...it's lunch break time...I got to the courthouse about 10:30..it was a cloudy cool day so I wore pants..long pants...I think I better step up the wardrobe a bit considering the opportunities here....ahh...well...

anyway I get there and I see Kasi and two other cops in the hallway, so she must be waiting to testify...I go in and there's liar Scott Steepleton and Mr. Wimpy...and a few other folks...next time I'm bringing my straw so I can hit Scott with spitballs, the lying little POS....
I sit down and Judge Hill is admonishing a lawyer for drunk Mike Kenny who wrote an offensive brief comparing Judge Hill's court to some backward state courts in the south...just some judge/ lawyer squabbling....damn I love it when they do that!!! I missed the gist of it but I think it had to do with the gag order on the press that DUI lawyers are afraid of....otherwise, they'd have to try their cases in court instead of in the News-Press!

ok..so guess what? Officer Kasi Beutel takes the stand and guess what, Darryl Genis keeps complaining... Judge Hill tells Genis to stop stalling but he goes on and on about Kasi's personal lawyer who was there to defend her (duh) and what Kasi will say and what she won't say and what she might say and what might not say....Genis!! shut up!! ..she's on the witness stand fer chrissakes.. the best way to find out what she'll say is to ask her some questions...GEEZ..these DUI Lawyers are unbelieveable...if I was a little bit dumber, I coulda been one!!

so the DA Horowitz began asking Kasi questions about her work, her experience, pretty much generic questions about her training etc and of course Kasi's lawyer is not there to prevent her from speaking to relevant issues....and speak she did...she was totally engaged and confident and answered with obvious professional knowledge...Genis kept lobbing objections but they were overruled and what transpired should have made Lance and Genis very nervous.. they were very fidgety and I could see their sweaty palms glistening and reflecting the courtroom lights back to the ceiling....Kasi was about to shred them....to pieces....and in the end Lance looked like a pretty pathetic character...

Beutel was very credible and believable and knowledgeable about her job and the instruments she uses to affect a DUI arrest... but when she started talking about the night of Lance's arrest, that's when my ears perked up... Horowitz asked her many questions about that night and here's what I got from it....

"I want to look skinny in my tuxedo"....Peter Lance
it seems Peter Lance had some girl trouble that night in January, New Year's Eve/Day 2011..ok...that happens..you see, I found out along time ago, what woman can do to your soul.....but that's no reason to drink and drive is it? I guess it depends on the woman....

and Lance told Beutel he hadn't planned on driving that night, but well, he thought his girlfriend was gonna stay the night, but she didn't..and previous to that, they or he was at the Canary Hotel where he had two glasses of champagne, then they went home and he had one more glass..then for some reason he was on the road because of an argument they had...he and the gal...

this is the stuff Lance is telling Kasi during the stop like she's his counselor or something... but she seemed concerned for his safety that night.....
Lance is definitely a motormouth....and of course I wasn't there so I'm just writing from notes and memory..but I will tell ya, as Kasi went on, I could barely contain my laughter..I was biting my lip!! basically, she owned Lance, and he knew it..he was looking sheepishly at the desk during most of her testimony...

Kasi said Lance was wearing a tux and cowboy boots and appeared drunker than the 0.11 and 0.09 that he blew, possibly due to lack of food...Lance said he had almost nothing to eat that day because "he wanted to look skinny in his tuxedo"....so maybe that's why he appeared more drunk....but what an odd thing for man to say.. how vain...maybe ok for an Orange County housewife..or a gay guy!!

and when Lance and Genis said previously Beutel had manipulated the breathalyser test, Kasi blew that claim to smithereens...she demonstarted without an actual unit the impossibility of manipulating the reading due to its bulk and how she holds it....she would need an extra set of arms to do any manipulation....

and the forgery issues...I think Lance and Genis realize that they are whipped on this one too.....I didn't see Blanco in the room and after his last testimony, I can see why...I bet he's gone for good...although I did hear he got a gig for Halloween with Madame Rosinka at the San Ysidro Ranch doing psychic palm readings!

Officer Beutel went on about the arrest and how Lance had bloodshot eyes, smelled of alcohol, could barely stand up during the field sobriety tests, and he kept apologizing to her..and then when Kasi determined he was unsafe to drive and handcuffed him, he became belligerent..and his outbursts in the courtroom confirm that type of behavior..

verbal abuse...
then Kasi says Lance got verbally abusive with her...telling her he was an investigative journalist and she should let him go because she had "prosecutorial discretion"...Kasi tells Lance she's not a prosecutor, she's a cop who arrests DUI suspects..and she's arresting him...
then Lance started in with the smack talk about Chief Cam Sanchez and all his money issues and that he was corrupt...Judge Hill asked her to go into detail then she says Lance kept saying things about the DUI quotas and that the "apple doesn't fall far from the tree"..a reference to the chief and the cops both being corrupt, I guess...

then some more details and we broke for lunch...
Lance should plead guilty at this point because he just looks silly now...Kasi's got your number Pete!

I was standing in the hallway downstairs taking pictures of unrelated things since we're on a quasi-camera gag... and Kasi and her husband came up to me and we shook hands..I'd met her husband once before in court and told him I'm here to expose the lies the News-Press and Team Wendy keep telling....I'd never met Kasi and we had a friendly exchange...I think I even blushed a little!

I had to miss the afternoon session... so I told Kasi to give 'em hell...and I'm sure she did....

just the facts, ma'am

don't taze me... bro!

ok...newspapers print sensational stories for several reasons...mainly to get more readers

we have a right to know what's going on out there...a good reporter is invaluable for getting the story out with as much factual info as possible...a bad reporter just prints the story with a bunch of hearsay....over at Noozhawk, (News-Press Jr) I was disappointed to see cub reporter Lara Copper attend the stupid "whiskey and wine" tasting event at the Museum of Natural History...it was lecture about the Prohibition period in the United States...the subject was booze..lately in Santa Barbara, the subject always seems to be about booze..


so Noozhawk printed a story about the police beating a motorist and quoted some civilian witnesses who had ZERO facts about the case....it was all hearsay and slanted against the cops....and just in time for another smear job around election time...and the story, put out without checking facts, was written by conservative Noozhawk publisher William Macfadyen...this guy has appeared on the Mr.Wimpy Show so now he's on my radar .....I got no issue with printing any stories, but this was obviously poorly reseached and published in haste..and we know haste makes waste....

ok, so cooler heads waited until the facts were known before jumping on the lynch mob wagon and hanging a Santa Barbara cop for doing his job....that's right, a Santa Barbara cop did his job, used necessary force to subdue a drunk driver..so what's the problem???

if the story was done right, Noozhawk would have done a background check on the witnesses they spoke with..a few questions like we're you drinking that night..or have you ever been busted for operating a pot dispensary...one witness, Jeff Restiva, has a reason to hate the cops because of his pot dispensary troubles.....and the goofy yuppiepuppiewuppiemuffies, Ellen and John Hunterr per news reports, interfered with a police stop, assumed the cop was doing soemthing wrong, have they ever worked in law enforcement, ever dealt with drunk drivers, ever been in a non-civilian job??? I want drunk drivers off the road, so butt out next time goddam yuppiemuppiewuppies!!

...basically, these two, who didn't even use their cell phone to take even one picture, decided that the cop was not doing the job the way the Hunters thought it should be done!!!

so the guy busted, Tony Denunzio according to the police report, was making erratic lane changes in traffic, was driving on a suspended license due to a prior DUI!!!! and alcohol odor detected on him, jumped out of his car and resisted arrest!!! WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY??? oh yeah, it's easier to blame the cops....


what should we do, instead of arresting a drunk driver, feed him milk and cookies and read him a bedtime story like Ellen and John want to do??

so if DUI got his ass kicked he deserved it....drunk driving is a violent sociopathic crime...it needs to be dealt with forcefully...if that bothers some of you folks with weak minds and stomachs, you really need to educate yourselves about what drunk drivers do...and it's not pretty....
I think these yuppieduppiewuppiemuppies who interfered with a cop doing his job should be arrested and/or fined...and Macfadyen, I don't suppose he put out the story for political advantage to whip up the anti-cop-union frenzy or to get a bump in readership, did he?? well, at least he printed the police response on this scumbag Denunzio....

thank you Officer for getting this serial drunk off the road...for a few days anyway....next time break his ankles!!

out in the country

before the breathin' air is gone, before the sun, is just a bright spot in the night time..out where the rivers like to run, I stand alone, and take that something worth remembering...

well I was listening to Three Dog Night yesterday..and those guys were fantastic...
Chuck Negron had an awesome voice ....the CD had all the hits, but one song I really love is "Out in the Country" it's just beautiful and was written by Paul Williams and he knows how to write...but the thing that got me was how Negron fell into a herion addiction then rehabbed...how a guy with such a voice could wind up a junkie is a mystery....the mystery of addiction, but he sobered up....and Paul Williams became a drug counselor among his many other talents....


when I lived up on El Bosque road years ago, Williams had a house up there.....I'd go by hoping to see him..or say something, but it never happened....it was a big, simple and cool house and hasn't changed at all...I loved living up there....Robert Mitchum lived a few blocks over up by the ranch....

those were the days when Montecito was blessed with some real creative talent, not the hacks that live there today...Dennis Miller, Oprah, Andy Fats, next they'll tell me Bill O'Reilly has bought a house here!!
but ok, there's nothing I can do about that but it was fun living next to great people, people whose talents have given me some happiness in this crazy life...
now, let's look at these present day posers, shall we....

faraway eyes....

ok I love this stuff...the conservatives are wanking about..well everything now....
hey, should a debt disqualify you from running for public office...well, Newt's running for president after being indebted to Tiffany's for about $500000...you gotta keep the blonde trophy wife happy no matter the cost!!

so the conservatives are worried about the elections....all elections and after watching the debates I can see why....Rick Perry was the conservative front runner and Tea Party fav until he opened his mouth in the debates..and he looked like a moron..a Texas moron....could hardly complete a sentence, a thought....how did this guy get to be governor...oh yeah, he was bought by the corporations and oh yeah he's a "Christian"...

so anyway, the standards are so low that stupidity, ignorance and bigotry are sought after traits for conservative candidates! it's pathetic!
locally, we have the usual suspects supporting their pet candidates...I see that the Lincoln Club has disbanded..they were the overtly racist ultra- social conservatives who supported Dale Francisco and want to peer into your bedroom and make laws against certain sex acts between consenting adults, as if those teabagger ladies have never had a stiff one before!!

now they have melded into the Santa Barbara Republicans and the Montecito Hope Ranch Republican Women's Club... I was trying to get to their website my computer froze..I wonder why..oh I finally got through and I think the gals need some website help!

..one teabagger cheerlearer is a local realtor Brenda Blalock who recently hosted a bash for the Troublesome Trio.....and she was part of the Lincoln Club...and they love Dale Francisco

Brenda's pretty alright, but messed up in the head..one night with me could fix her, but that's not gonna happen..I get tired trying to fix Republican women....just when I think I've succeeded, after months of extreme penetration, they slip back into their old ways....it's just too taxing and frustrating...

and now the ladies of the canyon are complaining about the lies and distortions in the liberal media and are holding yet another luncheon at the Montecito Country Club.....huh?? Tom Watson, crazy teabagger who can't win an election and Chris Mitchum, teabagger and idiot son of the great Robert Mitchum, and Montecito Journal editor Jim Buckley will speak..

geez, have these guys ever read the News-Press or their own papers?? completely biased and full of lies...look, I know Republicans, and while many are warm and wonderful people, they will lie at the drop of a hat to keep their American fantasy alive...I've reached a few, but some are too far gone, like Brenda....who by the way was born in the Philippines!! she could be a terrorist or even a Muslim!!!
look ladies, you won't change the Republican Party or win another election by holding a bunch of silly luncheons or acting like inbred Alabama hill folk.....

but I'll keep on trying to reach them...these girls with the faraway eyes...

rollin' and tumblin'

ANARCHY!!!

so now the Occupy Wall Street marchers are "anarchists" and are scaring conservatives..GOOD!! keep it up....the marches are about Wall Street fraud...you remember, the greedy slobs who got us into this mess..shall I name them? ok...Ken Lay and his Texas pal George Bush, Lehman Bros, the insurance companies, the car companies...all tied to Wall Street and inflated stock prices...they stole pensions, they manipulated the markets, they gave gifts and lavished huge severance packages on people who didn't deserve it...

the unions who represent the working class are not the cause of the financial mess... not the cause of house prices rolling and tumbling...lenders gave money to people who could not afford to pay it back..that's the key.... you need to pay your debts and dues..this isn't candy store where mommy and daddy buy you everything you want...you greedy folks need to learn self control and stop expecting the rest of us to pay your way, to babysit you...


DUI: The $10,000 ride home

Everybody knows driving drunk is wrong and stupid, but it's also increasingly expensive. Calculating the costs could be enough to sober some people up.

A typical DWI costs about $10,000 (or more) by the time you pay bail, fines, fees and insurance, even if you didn’t hit anything or hurt anyone. Think about this: that $10,000 dollar ride home is equivalent to over 5,500 miles in a cab.


now, some teabaggers complain that the cost of the cops watching the Occupy Wall Street marches is too high.....yet I don't hear them complain about the much higher cost of drunk drivers....the cost to taxpayers when insurance premiums go up, the cost for the ride home..drunks cost America 223 billion dollars a year!

Drinking and driving impacts us all, even if you were not involved in the accident. The social, emotional, and economic impact is far reaching

Alcohol-related crashes cost the public an estimated $3.8 billion in 1999, including $1.7 billion in monetary costs and almost $2.1 billion in quality of life losses. People other than the drinking driver paid $2.3 billion of the alcohol-related crash bill.

"• Alcohol abuse cost the Nation $191.6 billion;
"• Tobacco use cost the Nation $167.8 billion;
"• Drug abuse cost the Nation $151.4 billion.

"Substance abuse clearly is among the most costly health problems in the United States. Among national estimates of the costs of illness for 33 diseases and conditions, alcohol ranked second, tobacco ranked sixth, and drug disorders ranked seventh (National Institutes of Health [NIH], 2000).


the Occupy Wall Street protest has cost New York a few million dollars...and what has Wall Street fraud cost taxpayers??


all these figures and facts are hard to fathom when your head is cloudy from the drink and your eyes are too bloodshot to see, but I think the folks who got bailed out should foot the bill for this demonstration...and the village drunks should start paying their own way, too

Tipsy Tuesdays at the Biltmore??? Ty, this is the dumbest event I think I've ever seen..the silliest promo...encouraging folks to get drunk and drive home..I want some candidates who can stand up to the booze problems in Santa Barbara!! and the Independent should show some spine and refuse to print the event.....but since Randy Campbell left, the Indie lost her focus....

if you run for public office, you need to be able to withstand the heat...so if you've got skeletons in your closet, release them or they will be exposed by others..how appropo for Halloween...if I ran I would let people know beforehand about my shady past...then they can judge for themselves..for example, I used to be a serial killer, but I've managed to control that impulse so far...so you could read that different ways and make an informed decision when you vote...

of course, the SB City Council candidates are a diverse group, so they will have diverse backgrounds and issues..we got Deb Schwartz (former supe Naomi's daughter) with her money issues; Cruzito Cruz with his criminal record and COD (Court Outburst Disorder), Dale Francisco and his vote to legislate bigotry against gays, we got Mike Self and her ties to racist Native Daughters of the West..shall I continue? ok....

we got Randy Rowse selling alcohol and asking the taxpayers to spend $50000 to rearrange some benches on State Street to discourage poor folks from sitting on them....selling alcohol is a huge drain on the cops due to the lower State Bar Row....restautants and bars that sell alcohol should be taxed for the extra cops it takes to police them and the drunks..one good thing about Randy is he won't allow dogs in his restaurant for all the obvious reasons....so you can dump Dale and Mike and keep Randy, because he made some rookie mistakes, I'll let him slide...

Cathy Murrillo is married to David Pritchett...what does that say about her common sense or judgement??

that Jerry fellow...offers hugs to people...way too ingratiating..keep your little children away from him because you never know about such needy people...

Iya Falcone....Iya is kinda spaced out so you can't tell what she's gonna do from minute to minute!

Sharon Byrne...wants to eliminate the "grunge factor" downtown...this gal is scared of everyone who's not white and presentable...how much money will she waste trying to build a bubble around Santa Barbara??

and a vote for Mike and Dale is a vote for Wendy McCuckoo since she owns them..
the rest of the candidates I can't name so unless they step it up and do something newsworthy, they will remain under the radar...lucky for them!

Jailhouse Rock

DUI lawyers all shook up over "rouge" cops!

ok this is just too weird..it looks like the county DA has got a bunch of DUI lawyers all shook up....a NON PROFIT GROUP OF DUI LAWYERS called the CDLA will be crying to Judge Brian Hill not to gag Lance and Genis and their spin doctor News-Press hack Scott Steepleton..


and check out the link: DUI check points run by "rouge" cops....

you know, a gag order might not be needed if Scott and Lance would stop LYING in the press!! but I say give 'em enough rope...they know if this goes to trial they are sunk
and I still don't see any stories in the News-Press about Nipper's and Baron Ron Herron's sons being busted....I think that's newsworthy....

let's check some credibility issues....

The unfair labor practice hearing lasted 17 days in August and September, 2007, and in December, 2007, the ALJ ruled in favor of the General Counsel and against the News-Press on each of the charges brought against the newspaper, including nine discharges, the cancellation of Starshine Roshell's column, discriminatory evaluations of four reporters, interrogation, surveillance and a demand that employees remove "McCaw, Obey the Law" signs from their cars and buttons from their clothing. The ALJ (administrative law judge) again found both Steepleton—who claimed responsibility for all 9 firings held to be unlawful—and Armstrong to be not credible witnesses. The ALJ also found McCaw's testimony not credible...and on and on..

ie, the News-Press management is made up of a non-credible bunch of boobs!

well, the county DA is starting to wise up about the News-Press/Lance/Steepleton con job disguised as reporting...Scott is a confirmed liar in the previous labor law hearings.. I thought perjury was a crime....if it was Scott would be wearing the county jail orange jumpsuit...but no, he's out writing lies for Wendy and acting as Peter Lance's personal spin doctor...that should be obvious...

so the possiblity of a gag order is still floating around....


the most glaring example of Scott taking someone's words and repurposing them to fit his mommy's agenda was noted in my recent post..but Scott repeats his lying ways and digs himself a deeper hole when he claims: "indeed lead prosecutor Sanford Horowitz made several attempts to get Officer Beutel to the stand only to be rebuffed by Judge Hill, who insisted handwriting experts testify first"....but this is simply not what happened..it was Genis who wanted Blanco to testify first because of some plane he had to catch...Judge Hill kept saying to Genis that Beutel should testify before the handwriting experts..and Genis kept saying no....so the Judge said ok after checking with Horowitz...Hill didn't rebuff Horowitz at all!!!

they need to get the court transcripts of the exchange and we'll see who's lying...or fibbing....or stretching the truth...

While the News-Press claims the right to control its content, it doesn't have the right to print lies about the hearings from an unethical reporter...and now Genis, Lance, the News-Press and Wendy's lawyers are playing stupid...."what what did we do???" "we're just exercising our free speech rights..freedom of the press".... "we're just innocent lil babes in the woods" poor little victims of guess who..the big bad government...

gimme drugs
please, let's cut to the chase, get real and stop all this nonsense...if Judge Hill reads the News-Press, that should alarm him as to the credibility of the coverage from Steepleton and why a gag or sanction is needed in this particular case...Peter Lance covering his own DUI and heaping up some tall tales about the police is reason enough, but now I'm getting a picture why the News-Press hates the cops so much: because the fuzz keeps busting their friends and relatives for drugs!!!

the beauty of a possible gag order is the News-Press and Lance would be muzzled, the DA isn't saying much anyway for obvious reasons, and that leaves me, an independent observer, free to be me and cover the hearings as I see fit ....now that's justice!

my little red book...

oh, so now I'm a misogynistic pig..well maybe there's a reason why I hate you dime-a-dozen evil tatoo-titted bitches..read on

ok...here's a story about blondes, booze and why you should never mix the two...and why, in the end, the blonde will always win....sorry guys, it doesn't matter how smart or dumb you are, you're gonna lose in the end, like this loser in the story.. who got drunk, busted for DUI, set up, duped, fluped, blamed everyone, attracted some dirty cops, found himself in a shit storm...and now is trying to crawl out...I feel no sympathy for anyone in this story!


MARTINEZ -- She was a striking blonde who spent a lot of time in Hawaii, just like he did. She was an avid Sharks fan, just like him. She said all the right things and made it clear that she wanted him.

"I haven't had sex in so long," she cooed on their first date.
Deep down, Dave Dutcher -- unassuming aeronautics engineer, father of three, recently split from his wife -- suspected that his Match.com sweetheart was too good to be true. And when a wildly flirtatious second date ended in a DUI, Dutcher wondered whether his ex-wife was somehow connected to the woman who had fed him shots and invited him hot-tubbing with an equally coquettish friend.

Then, two years later, a major police corruption scandal centered on a Concord private investigator exploded, and a prosecutor confirmed Dutcher's suspicions: He had been set up.

Now, on Monday, in a Contra Costa County courtroom, Dutcher will get his first chance at redemption: A judge will consider whether the stain from that night -- one of the five cases known as Contra Costa County's "dirty DUIs" -- unfairly tinged his divorce settlement. And prosecutors have also taken the extraordinary position that they will not stand in the way if Dutcher wants to withdraw his no contest plea -- two years later -- and ask a judge to wipe the crime from his record.

It's a stunning reversal of fortune for a 49-year-old man who, by his own admission, made a terrible
decision to get behind the wheel that night in late 2008 after leaving the Old Spaghetti Factory in downtown Concord.
"I'm ashamed that I let my guard down.....

well, yeah ya did, dumbass....

So when the women left in their two-seat convertible and asked Dutcher to follow, he climbed in his Ford four-wheel-drive pickup. He said he watched them run a red light, just before he noticed a police officer was pulling him over. He was arrested for drunken driving with a 0.12 blood alcohol content. Little did the Concord police officer know that Dutcher was being led into a trap.

But, according to court records, the officer who arrested Dutcher had been tipped off by his acquaintance Christopher Butler, the one-time Antioch police officer and private investigator now at the center of a federal grand jury investigation that is also probing the former Central Contra Costa Narcotics Enforcement Team commander Norman Wielsch and three recently resigned cops from Danville, San Ramon and the Contra Costa County Sheriff's Office.

The group is already charged by the state for a series of alleged crimes, including selling stolen drug evidence, harboring illegal weapons and threatening witnesses. Butler and former Danville Officer Stephen Tanabe are each charged in connection with the setup DUIs. Dutcher is among the witnesses who have been subpoenaed by the U.S. attorney's office to testify.

On Monday, Dutcher will try to convince a family law judge that his ex-wife and her former attorney orchestrated his arrest to gain advantage in the divorce and keep him from his children -- claims they both strongly dispute.

He wants more time with his kids, a new divorce settlement and accountability for the individuals he believes burned him. Dutcher said the arrest forced him into an unfavorable divorce agreement and that his ex-wife and her attorney used the DUI to keep him from his children.

"What they did was unconscionable and I believe the judgment is illegal," Dutcher said. "Ultimately, I don't want to see this happen to any other parents or children."

ok so we got dirty cops and clean cops..so what else is new??

I think this story is a perfect example of why you should stay away from Match.com!!!

smooth operators...

coast to coast, LA to Chicago...

I have set up a network of operatives I call "Smooth Operators"..they supply valuable information and are coordinated by the lovely Natasha...

first off, I missed the Beer Festival on Saturday at Elings Park...I swear to God, this must be the shortest festival in the world.....it lasts four hours from 12:00PM to 4:00PM and they even had a service where they drove you home if you got too wasted...too wasted to drive home after a four hour festival...geez

second..what is all this fuss over those retarded little inbred foxes on the Channel Islands? oh, I get it..the Parks Service.....have you ever seen pictures of those folks???

next thing I missed was a talk about Prohibition last Thursday by Erin Graffy at the Historical Museum..afterwards they had a wine and whiskey tasting event...that's a fucking brilliant marketing move~ whoever is running the museum, give that boy a raise!!

and another thing....Dale Francisco has no eyebrows..I was watching Dale and Mike on the Mr. Wimpy Show and Dale, who's supposed to be an expert on everything, couldn't explain why some military guys who work for the city can retire using their military service credits...Dale and Mr. Wimpy are trying t oblame the Wall Street bailouts on the military workers in the City of Santa Barbara....I think that's rather foolish

ok so then a Smooth Operator shows me the crime blotter of some guy named A... ..oh no.. how sad!!! what can be done about this drug menace????

so we got some kids, possibly News-Press kids running around under the influence of a controlled substance...we got Wendy's pal ex-News-Press editor Travis Armstrong busted for DUI and wrongway driving, we got News-Press pal Peter Lance busted for DUI, we got the News-Press Wine Club, we got Nipper's Champagne Club, we got Nipper's pal Lanny Ebenstein getting sued for operating a pot house up north and he settled with 17 neighbors, we got Wine Festivals, Beer Festivals, Tequila Festivals.....

we got a bunch of lushes and stoners in the private sector trying to fuck with the hard working public workers' rights.... 

and I got smooth operators!!

R-E-S-P-E-C-T

find out what it means to me....


I respect wildlife and was out yesterday scouting locations for my next western and I ran into some old friends I'd like to introduce you to...they were introduced to me by nature...

ahh, there's some fennel and some castor bean..careful, castor bean is poisonous but oh so pretty and it always fills a void...owwahh some sycamores and eucalyptus..and I make no distinction between native and non native because we're all native to mother earth...hey, I think I should trademark that.." we're all native to mother earth".....sounds like hippiespeak!

hey look some lady bugs on fennel...yum, sounds like a new entree at Cafe Luck...may I take your order sir? yes, I'll have some lady bugs on fennel and a side of sauteed mushrooms...

now what I don't get is I saw two lady bugs doing it....are they lesbos? I'm for gay rights and I'm no bigot like femme faux fellow Dale Francisco...hey, are there any gentleman lady bugs bugs?? who knows but I like them and that's one more reason to leave the fennel alone..even if you try ot eradicate it, it grows back right quick..and the little buds burst with licorice flavor...so good on a warm October mornin!

ohh some dead thistle....but upon closer inspection the flowers are full of seeds...so nature will scatter, disperse those and the thistle will be back in spring and summer....this has been going on forever and I'm not too concerned... I'll really start to worry when they don't come back...

there's my old friend the dead fox, who won't be coming back....two weeks have passed and all that's left is some fur and bones..the ants, the flies, the microbes, the birds all did their job...

so there it is..some plants that bring me joy and an appreciation for the whole of nature..the web, the intricacies, the imperfections, the power and wisdom of whatever this force is...this force that always trys to teach man, but will man ever learn??

living things should be respected by man...we're the ones with the reasoning skills...if you hunt, you respect life..if you eradicate, if you don't..it's that simple..


so this place will do just fine for my next Western..I think I'll call it " Riders of the Whistling Skull".....

the devil and the deep blue sea

orange colored sky...

months of fog in the summer, while incomprehensible at times, is actually a benefit...it keeps the avocado groves cool and prepares us for a glorious fall..and October has been glorious....the moon being chased across the sky by Jupiter..the warm nights, perfect for a trip to the Pendola hot springs, and the burning orange colored sky sunrises...what a place this is..


and while on a bike ride Saturday, I saw this awesome dead owl...one of these days I'll see a live wild animal but maybe I'll send this owl picture as a Christmas card to the NPS and Nature Conservancy...they like dead animals


making deals with the devil...
yes the deal was struck to kill all the nonnatives on the Channel Islands....it was a deal struck with the devil.... even in California's glory, there are people behind the scenes trying to mess it up..mess up California, mess with nature, and they must be stopped....I was glad to see #69 and the News-Press finally add some media attention to the Channel Islands biodiversity scam..but the News-Press conveniently forgot to mention the feds and the non-profit Nature Conservancy are in bed together on this...and a bunch of limp dicks and dry pussies are the reason for the killings....limp dicks and dry pussies..Yvonne Menard, a butt ugly Parks biologist: dry pussy.....that's the reason people kill for nothing...



reporter Nancy Chen at KSBY is on top of this cowardly slaughter and got video of the choppers killing these huge elk and harassing the deer and their young..not what hunting is about at all...the video was shot by a Carpinteria rancher/hunter Anthony Brown from an airplane, to have some documention..the Parks Service and Nature Con won't show you what's really going on..as usual....you see, it doesn't fit into the rosy propaganda of a Native Garden of Eden they feed their gullible followers...

simply put, what they've done on the islands is a crime and the outcry has been huge..maybe now people will think twice about giving money to the Nature Conservancy....and press charges against them..and I don't give a fuck if the killings are a congressional mandate!

http://www.ksby.com/full-coverage/the-final-hunt/


the real point is the non-natives are a valuable addition to the habitats..some plants both native and non-native may pose a problem..like if a tree root in lifting a home's foundation, then the tree must go..sorry....

but a tree out in the wild, a grove like the eucs being chopped down to "restore" something is just nonsense.....I am looking into seeing what I can do about it, but I feel like Anne Frank trying to outwit the nazis!!! "Her family, refugees from Germany, immigrates to Holland where the boots of nazi oppression and psychopathic poison are not far behind. Ann's family hides from the invader in an attic where the Dutch who are the antithesis of German intolerance give them meager rations."

I think Wendy has given so much of her ex-husband's money to non-profits, she's lost count! but even while she rails againt the feds in the editorial, she gives money to the Center for Biological Diversity which says "kill all non-natives at all costs"...even as I write this my blood pressure is rising..so I guess it's up to us to corral these bozos and ....hey wait... the Environmental Defense Center is in on ths fiasco, too...the EDC is led by David Landecker of Home Improvement fame...remember years ago when Dave was shopping at the Home Improvement Center he switched price tags on some items because he thought they were too much....

the press had a field day with that but the point is the EDC is just another worthless elitist nonprofit trying to restore and protect everything to death..they said after species cleansing, people will be able to enjoy the islands once the "restoration" is done...

and that's the problem: if they can't go to Santa Rosa Island and be awestruck by the beauty of seeing elk and deer roaming ...of the value of all plants and the glorious vistas..if all they see is what should be destroyed and killed so they feel important ...if they can't tell the difference between management and micro-management and mismanagement,then they have some serious issues to contend with...

I've said it before, and I'll say it again....bionativism, the need to rid the landscapes of non-native species, is not an ecological issue, it's a psychological problem...

radiohead

get your feet wet, run with the jetset...

now I admit I don't know who's who in the fast world of local celebrities like the Baron Ron Herron, who works for Wendy and Nipper....

I'm simply not privy to the inside lives of the jetsetters in town...but the Baron has been doing radio forever and I used to see him amble down Chapala St with a glossy black KIST jacket on..he was a big fat dude...looked like a Greek to me....

it must be humiliating to work at a radio station where Nipper tells you what to do... I mean if Wendy liked fat guys, the Baron would own the radio station and be co-publisher of the News-Press.....and Nipper would be bussing tables at Chucky Cheese!

and there is a hearing at the courthouse for a guy named Barry Ron Herron for probation violation....

the only thing I found was this from the LA Times:

2 men arrested in Craigslist pot sales

Santa Barbara County sheriff's detectives say the suspects allegedly used the popular website to pitch high-grade marijuana 'clones' for sale.
On Tuesday, detectives took Barry Herron, 29, of Carpinteria into custody on suspicion of growing, possessing and transporting marijuana for sale.
Investigators found more than 45 marijuana plants and other items at Herron's home that indicated he was selling the herb illegally, Sugars said.

ok so I don't know if the Baron and the kid are related, but I did find picture of Barry in a police report...and the similarites between him and the Baron are pretty obvious, especially the eyes..when they're not bloodshot...

is this more poor parenting from the folks at Team Wendy??

I don't know..I just don't know...but a possible scenario could be that Barry asked his dad if he know Lanny Ebenstein..dad said yeah and hooked them up...Barry asked Lanny if he could advertise some killer weed in the News-Press classifieds because we know Lanny had a pot house up north and Barry and his pal like to go to Mendocino alot...but Lanny said they should try Craigslist to push the pot....so they did and got busted...the only way we'll be able to tell if this story is true or even plausible is if the Baron plays "Mendocino" by the Sir Douglas Quintet next week....keep it tuned to AM 1290!!

too hot...

gotta run for shelter..gotta run for shade/Cool and the Gang

you know the cool thing about the Lance DUI case is the spotlight on drunk driving..I bet a lot of people are thinking twice about getting behind the wheel, even after "only" three beers....and that's cool!

however, instead of publishing lies on the front page of the News-Press like Scott Steepleton normally does, he has wised up and is publishing them on page 6 so nobody will see them....and that ain't too cool

now, I was at the hearing a few weeks ago when Kasi Beutel was ready to testify on the witness stand..I heard the judge and prosecution say that she was ready..and I also heard Lance's lawyer Darryl Genis say he was in no rush to hear her..instead he wanted handwriting looker-at-er James Blanco to testify because Blanco doesn't live here..he flies in and so they put him and the prosecution's handwriting expert on the stand..all day..asking stupid repetitive questions...

but now the News-Press has a story that Kasi won't testify soon due to another unspecified leave of absence....and Genis says to Scott Steepleton: "now the reality is revealed: the District Attorney's office knew they had no intention whatsoever of putting Kasi Beutel on the stand, but they wanted to create an illusion that they would for the benefit of the media. We'll be deceived no longer"...

this is precisely why a gag order should have been placed on the News-Press due to their "News of the World" type of gossip...

Scott Steepleton should be removed from the hearing if he can't report the truth....and Genis should be sanctioned for lying like this..... the truth is..Beutel was there, Judge Hill encouraged and almost insisted that Darryl Genis put her on the witness stand..it was Genis who declined to question her after months of daring her of testify... I mentioned this in the Oct 6th post "12 Angry Men".....so the real reason that Kasi Beutel didn't testify on that day is Darryl Genis didn't take the Judge's advice and put her on the stand first..Genis could have questioned Beutel, but he didn't and that's a fact...

I think the reason Genis chickened out is because Beutel would have made him and Lance look bad...they know Lance is going to trial, so now they are playing a little blame game..it's absurd!!

and the Oscar goes to...

and looky here..Wendy's pal Michael Douglas is getting the "Father of the Year" award! oh wait, that's not right...Alcoholic of the Year?? no that's wrong, too...but poor Mike was battling throat cancer brought on by years of tobacco and alcohol abuse..and his son Cameron was a meth addict/dealer....

Cameron Douglas was arrested July 28 2009 by DEA at a hip Manhattan hotel. The 30-year-old son of Michael and his ex-wife Diandra, has a lengthy history of drug abuse, rehab, arrests and imprisonment.
The bust took place at the Gansevoort Hotel, a source told The New York Post. An undercover DEA operation allegedly found he was carrying about eight ounces of crystal meth, and had dealt $18,000 worth of the drug at the time they took him into custody.


...oh, so Mike is being honored at Ty Warner's Coral Casino for his film work??? I see...yup, made some good films..not great, but good...
the dinner and cocktail reception costs $500 and as the NP says, "it will be a unique moment in history"... but they didn't say why.....and I certainly can't....

greed most definitely is not good....

dream a little dream of me...

sweet dreams....

well, I had a dream that I worked for the city as a parking ticket giver..I had a little Cushman cart and was dressed in a white uniform and I was taking a lunch break, drinking coffee, sitting on the little stone wall by the sidewalk, over by the courthouse, and some lady comes up and starts taking pictures..the lady was that poet chick Sojourner...she kept saying "aha aha"...like she was trying to bust another lazy city union worker..then she leads me over to her car, which is parked and wrecked and pleads with me not to give her a ticket, so I didn't..then we read some poetry....then Nipper and Dipper were in the upper village court yard interviewing reporters..all Young Miss America Foundation blondes type..one chick was talking backwards so Nipper turns to Dipper and says "give her a prize"...I swear to God!! it was an odd dream, but very restful....

I was watching the SB City Council and this woman came up to speak and though she was pretty, the face looked a little weird...it looks like some gals in their 40s and 50s are switching to plastic faces instead of skin they were born with...and if Carp can ban plastic bags in grocery stores, why not in faces, too?

I see them driving around, these people mostly women but some guys too...they are skinny, with big fish lips, and shiny skin pulled back so tight you could bounce a quarter off their face....and this is the modern girl/guy?

I was looking at the mag 805 Living out of Thousand Oaks and there were nine ads by plastic surgeons...restaurants, hotels,wineries and plastic surgeons....that's it..that's the lifestyle in Thousand Oaks...which is really kind of a hell hole...hot and crowded..with lots of malls...California is a study in contrasts...
people it seems are just trying too hard to become what they think others want them to become...
and we all want you to look as pretty as you did when you were twenty..now, get to work!

Troublesome Waters...

and that is what the plastic fake Troublesome Trio Self, Rowse and Francisco are doing....trying hard to please Wendy McCaw by not accepting union donations to their campaigns.....will they accept any public employee contribubutions?? why not? what do they fear? they are sooo phony!!

well I know they won't turn down private sector money or non-profit money..it's just so silly because the unions didn't offer any money to them..it's like me not asking Mike Self out on a date, and having her turn me down...I think the three are joining forces because they know they are one person, they are two alone they are three together, and they are for each other....

bang bang...

my baby shot me down.....

the Channel Islands biodiversity scam continues...well at least KSBY had a story on the Parks Service/Nature Con and their latest killing spree...but where are the News-Press? #69? Wayne and the US Humane Society? PETA?

we're outraged!! (not really)
so Wendy gets in a huff when two teens kill some owls in Lompoc, writes an editorial that she's "outraged" but when the Nature Conservancy and the Parks Service employ cowardly hitmen to kill elk and deer from helicopters...well, Wendy says Bambi just has to suck it up....

this latest series of killing should highlight the absurdity of bionativism, esp on the islands...all the folks involved should be arrested for animal cruelty.....Michael Vick was arrested and rightly so, the Lompoc boys were harassed by Wendy and investigated by Fish and Game and #69...and wrongly so...so where's #69 now that the elk and deer slaughter has begun...I think Wendy owns her too...if Wendy had any brains and Peter Lance had any talent, they would do an investgative series on the Parks Service and Nature Conservancy...


but the Parks Service and Nature Con are allowed to kill thousands of animals to "bring nature's balance back to the islands"...now that is the biggest bunch of bullshit I've ever heard!! ..the elk and deer have zero negative impact on anything on Santa Rosa Island!! make no mistake, what's happening on the islands is not hunting, it's species cleansing and it's sick...


they shoot the animals and let the carcasses rot instead of harvesting them like the hunters, Indians and settlers would have done.... like the NRA would do!

http://www.nrahuntersrights.org/Article.aspx?id=5323


Wendy claims she loves animals but in reality she gives money to Center for Biological Diversity which supports the killing..and where's pretty boy Wayne Pacelle of the US Humane Society...or what about PETA.. the PETA chicks need to put their clothes back on (what I say??) and stop the Parks Service and Nature Con...and poor Lois Capps supports this killing...Wendy and Lois....
are all these people in the pocket of the sleazy non-profit Nature Conservancy....yes, of course....just a bunch of pampered hypocrites!!! all of them!


so we have the Parks Superintendent Russell Galipeau, who gets my tax dollars, destroying species to protect other species....this fat guy has got to go..he's already admitted to mistakes in the past by the Parks Service, but this is the last straw...how can anybody support this Aryan nonsense, this species cleansing, this Hitler remedy?? Parks Service Russell Galipeau and Kate Faulkner are the main cheerleaders for the killing and eucalyptus grove/habitat destruction and should be FIRED IMMEDIATELY....

the buck drops here....

issues and answers

look, we all got issues and I had a few yesterday, Monday....Columbus Day..wasn't Columbus a white supremacist or something??

well, I didn't know it was Columbus Day until I went to the bank to cash a check..being low on liquid reserves, I was counting on starting the day flush with cash...so I go to the bank and walk up to the big glass doors, a copy of News-Press was still on the ground wrapped in plastic..geez Wendy you waste so much paper and plastic just to spread your propaganda..

anyway the bank doors are locked and the bank is closed to observe Columbus Day, so I had to survive on forty dollars a day..and I did thanks to Rachel Ray!

ok then I was searching for other counties in California that don't use cop car dash cams and there's loads of them, esp in San Diego...that issue brought up some other issues like if the SBPD gets cameras and you get busted for DUI, will the video go viral..someone could conceiveably give me a copy and I could put it on youtube, then you'd be famous!

and there's one city that requires ASS CAMS on all bicycles! I fully support that...

and BTW where is Peter Lance's mug shot from his arrest..that picture should tell us plenty, but I can't seem to get one! I'll try harder though....

repurposing history...

while it's true that NP guestatorial writer Terry Tyler ran for city council years ago, he lost because he was a weak candidate and he's ugly...he's still weak and he's still ugly even though Wendy supports his drivel...Tyler once worked for the city, then was in a nonprofit with his wife, then started working for Wendy...and he allegedly is an accountant...nowadays Tyler claims all the issues he ran on then are in the forefront today...unions, homeless, the panhandlers...somehow, the conservatives are supposed to get rid of all these pests..but the reality is not much has changed...there is a lot of hysteria among Team Wendy members, but they need to remember, their policies got us into this fix..the wars, the anti-working class stances, the union busting attempts, the coddling of Wall Street crooks and crony corporations...the social conservatism of guys like Dale Francisco amounts to institutional bigotry...these issues have been a disaster for America....and we'll go further down the well if these punks are put in a place of power or influence...

and the News-Press is using ex-mayor Sheila Lodge's endorsement of Self, Francisco and Rowse in an attempt to add some credibility to the TROUBLESOME TRIO...Sheila had a good run years ago as mayor, but watching her lately at the city meetings, she can barely hold a thought when she speaks so I don't think she knows where she is half the time...the ravages of time, I guess...and I'm not saying she's senile, but she may be losing her marbles...

now, my memory may be cloudy on this, but Tyler used to work for the city around the time Wendy's gay mom Harriet Miller was mayor....both were either in cahoots or oblivious to the city administrator/finance director Orange County investment scandal....the city of SB lost in excess of five million dollars and the city employees busted the finance director, who quit shortly thereafter....Tyler bailed and poor Harriet just finally died...in other words, it was a big mess and Tyler may have been part of it....

I am keeping track of all these hooligans in case the FBI calls....

I can hear music....

so I got me a classical guitar coming..and I got me a banjer..and a ukelele hangin' on the wall... and I'm glad to see you gals are starting to play, too

when I saw this, I got goosebumps...


the News-Press has endorsed Dale Francisco, Mike Self and Randy Rowse for Santa Barbara City Council which as we all know by now is the Kiss of Death for a candidate..I predict they all will lose...

this is the same trio that recently said no to the removal of a Ficus tree on Milpas St that was damaging a property....they told the owner she has to live with the problems...the tree is overgrown and has aggressive roots...now, Milpas has about 50 ficus trees...a canopy....most folks would not miss one that is so obviously too close to the building..the council blew it and I'd sue them if I were that lady....


plus Dale and Randy voted to spend $50000 to repurpose some benches on State st so that the homeless would face away from the tourists..that was the dumbest idea I've ever heard of!! and Ernie Salomon is interviewing the candidates on Channel 17 asking real questions...he was grilling Dale on the News-Press and on the fact that cops spend most of their time policing the drunks on lower State St ... the numerous bars are a problem...Dale was reduced to blabbering and looked confused....Ernie owned him because Ernie knows that Dale is in Wendy's pocketbook!!

Guadalupe...my new favorite small town is having budget issues, so the Grand Jury recommendation to put cameras in the cops cars while the cops take cuts in pay sounds all the more silly!!
from the Santa Maria Times:

Guadalupe police officers will see their take-home pay cut by 10 percent this year, the City Council decided Tuesday night.
The council voted unanimously to impose a contract on the city’s peace officers after four months of negotiations failed to lead to an agreement on pay reductions.

The contract calls for the nine sworn officers and support staff to forfeit remaining holiday pay this year and pay 2 percent of their annual Public Employees Retirement System (PERS) contribution. The city previously has made employee contributions to PERS and will continue to contribute 7 percent of the payment, said City Attorney Dave Fleishman, who handled union negotiations.

“There is nobody else in the police department being asked to give up concessions. It’s all on our backs,” Police rep Limon said. “We’re not asking for a raise. We know what’s on the wall.”
All five council members said they would not impose the contract on the officers if they had any other choice, but declining property and sales taxes have left the city no other way to balance its budget.


New California Law Allows Video Cameras In Car – What It Means

Ever been pulled over or arrested by the police following a traffic stop? Did you wish you had a video and audio recorder in your car so you could prove that the cop’s version of events was wrong? (NO..that's never happened to me!!)

In California, starting on January 1, 2011 you can do just that. That’s right, on New Year’s Day on 2011, a revision to California Vehicle Code Section 26708 goes into effect and drivers will be permitted to install “video event recorders” on their windshield. This will allow for drivers to record their driving, conversations with passengers, and arguably, encounters with the police. Until now, such cameras were illegal under the premise that it obstructed or reduced the driver’s view. However, there are strict requirements for these cameras

ok....if you want to videotape a cop, you can put a camera in your own car at your own expense, not mine!! it is pretty obvious that Lance and Genis are using the cameras in cop cars as a distraction..and some people are falling for it
