geez, what is the state of the local media? do they have brains? do they have heads to house those brains?? well, I think no matter what, at least you can trust me, but can you trust them...think about that girls when you remove your panties tonight....ok so um like last week the News-Press mixed up authors of some stories...they put Andy Caldwell's name on a Sunday opinion piece by EDC Brian Trautwein , making Caldwell sound like a big environmentalist....of course Andy is as anti-environment as you can get...the dude would put a casino in the middle of the Salt Marsh if he could!
next the Independent published a letter to the editor by SB city councilman Grant House.. the letter was a long meandering rant and Grant complains about Obama letting him down like Obama was his girlfriend or mommy...it sounded way off balance....
then the Santa Barbara View editor Cherie Rae jumped on it and re-printed the letter on her blog and criticized Grant for all the times he never called her back....Cherie has big issues with city hall that she apparently needs therapy to deal with...
and here's the kicker: it turned out that Grant House did not write the letter to the Independent..it was a guy named Grant Marcus and the Indie mistakenly named Grant House as the author!! and now the Santa Barbara View and Indie have egg all over their faces...
from the SBVIEW: By Cheri Rae
Plenty of people who voted for candidate Barack Obama are disappointed in his performance as President Barack Obama.—including our second-term council member Grant House who penned an inflammatory letter to the editor addressed to President Obama that is posted on the Santa Barbara Independent website.
His letter begins with his expression of “extreme disappointment and sadness,” and quickly justifies his criticism, invoking no less than the Civil Rights leader himself: “Martin Luther King once said that a man should be judged “not by the color of his skin, but by the content of his character.” It is for this reason, I will not be voting for you for president this next election. It will be the first time in my life I will choose not to vote for a Democrat.”
He escalates to a laundry list of complaints, name-calling and self-righteousness: “I cannot be a good German supporting supremacist values that lead us on crusades all over the world while our country goes bankrupt, and more and more of our people beg for food and work at traffic signals with cardboard signs that read, ‘Help me! I am a single mom. My four children need your help!’”
then Indie issues apology

I read the letter too but knew something was amiss...it just didn't sound like something Grant House would write.....Grant may be a lot of things, but he's not a drama queen!
ok..to all the local media, I'm getting tired of all these fuck-ups... I don't know if you have monthly staff meeting to hash all this stuff out, but I want you to start scheduling them the first Monday of the month...and as always, report back to me...
