ok so I'm watching Whitney Houston's funeral services and the gospel choir was singing songs of praise and joy...now that can't be faked...if you're gonna preach to me, then I prefer you sing like the choir..don't ring my doorbell dressed in black suit and pretend you're some spiritual being...the service was spiritual and not religious...I'm so glad Whitney is being honored and remembered for the singer and the woman she was....and even Kevin Costner paid his respects and said some nice things about her....but the highlight of the service was Whitney's friend, stunning Alicia Keyes..she played piano and fidgeted with her awesome low cut blouse and cried... and I heard there were two conservative radio guys who called Whitney some bad names..I'll deal with those two knuckleheads at another time...thank you for the music, Whitney!!
now, speaking of knuckleheads, I heard that Mike Stoker was having a little wine and cheese party at the tiny Garden Market on Santa Claus Lane...it is being sponsored by the Carpinteria Valley Republican Club which I've never heard of before....Stoker is running for an assembly seat..I thought it might be fun to drop by and see if I can spot the Three Stooges, Mike, Lanny and Joe together in one place in my fave place Santa Claus Lane....wine and cheese parties..geez, wine at three o'clock in the afternoon?? 
ok so I go over there and wait in front of the Garden Market and BBQ place....milling about are some people but no sign of Lanny or Joe or Mike....it's five minutes to three and I'm getting ready to leave when Mike drives up in a little black FOREIGN SUV! that's just not patriotic... so Mike comes moseying down the sidewalk area and I take a picture and ask him what he thinks of Lanny's pot house issues up north..Lanny was sued by 17 neighbors for operating a nuisance pot house in Eureka and settled the day before the trial...
Mike smiles and giggles a little, then grimaces and shakes his head back and forth, seemingly struggling to say something, but says nothing..so I offer: you don't like it? he giggles..
then he says he doesn't think it's appropriate for Lanny to have a pothouse in Eureka... then he mentions Das William's stance on medical marijuana..he always mentions Das for some reason! Das is Mike's daddy!!
then I ask Mike if he's on the board of the new non-profit California Center for Public Policy, but Mike giggles and tells me to relax and enjoy my weekend...then I say I'm having a
great weekend, that's why I'm here on Santa Claus Lane asking him questions..so I ask Mike again if he's on the board and he says he doesn't know, so I show him the board roster with his name on it and he says he offered general counsel to Lanny but doesn't know if he's on the board...then he says "maybe" he is and giggles..ok...well, but I don't blame him for being embarrassed to admit he's on the same non-profit as Lanny and Joe.... and Tom Watson and Brooks Firestone..and Frank Hotchkiss... then Mike giggles again (what's he high on, giggle juice?) and says I really need to learn to relax and then starts dancing around like James Brown! I tried to axe him about Joe's DUI issues, but Mike just started singing..."jump back Jack, see ya later alligator"....
right back at ya, slick
