I expected fireworks at the SB city council meeting but it was a dud...one low energy guy spoke in a rambling manner supporting Chick fil A and telling the ABR to get ethics training...the ABR didn't do anything unethical...and chief Chick fil A cheerleader Frank Hotchkiss didn't say a word..not a peep from Frank.!! it's pretty obvious that Frank over-reacted in calling for the ABR members to resign....many people over-reacted..and now the chicken company is being vetted....and sued....and accused of discrimination...but remember...all people are created equal, only some they more equal than others...
won't you please help a veteran?
yet another pro-war rightwing veterans charity has been accused of ripping off....veterans! Help Hospitalized Veterans was accused of squandering millions..blah blah blah...
ahhh, nonprofits- for- profit..the new rage until they get caught, that is
sitting on billions while not paying taxes....it always amazes me when a celeb gets hired by these veterans charities and the celeb does a weepy commercial asking for my money..so I was following this story and checking out the website a few days ago and there was the alluringly beautiful Marg Helgenberger, the chick from the TV show CSI, her picture on the site supporting HHV...then the California Atty General sued the charity, they got bad PR, and Marg ends her support, probably because it might hurt her career...
Marg Helgenberger, one of the leading actresses on the popular show CSI, says she's ending her association with a wounded warriors charity that's accused of appropriating millions in donations funds for big salaries and golf club memberships.
I think these celebrities do these charities for PR purposes, not because they give a rats ass about the vets.. but just to bring in more money to the CEOs....
Also Monday former president George W. Bush and former Senator Bob Dole denied they had endorsed the troubled charity, despite prominent photos of the politicians with HHV officials also featured on the website. (since removed)
I got my eye on Wounded Warriors next....
California attorney general Kamala Harris told ABC News HHV has been taking advantage of patriotic Americans. "The people that we have charged in this complaint have been so outrageous in their greed and their self-serving practices and it is one of the most outrageous cases we've seen," Harris said.
I like Kamala..she ignores Lance's nonsensical call for her to get involved in his cop fantasies, and she goes after the real crooks like shady nonprofit charities...
bowling green
WTF was the County Bowl thinking awhen they accepted money from Wendy McCaw and named a tree.....I mean a terrace after her?? if you pay something like $20000 you can sit on her terrace and watch the show! oh it's the Santa Barbara Bowl not the County Bowl..no it will always be the County Bowl...but maybe that's why I haven't seen a show there in ages.. I refuse to see a show there knowing that the operators would stoop so low....they take money from someone with no ethics but tons of money....no thanks!!
a fool and his money are soon parted
there's a long running fight between the tubby gal Nancy Crawford- Hall and the Chumash....Hall's family owns the big San Lucas Ranch and the Chumash are buying up huge chunks of the Santa Ynez Valley..and of course the casino is always a controversy with the lowlife it atttracts....but I suppose it's not all bad and they do provide old rocknrollers like Kiss a place to gasp a few last songs...
but Nancy is miffed at all the crime generated by the casino that spills out into the valley so I don't think these folks will ever get along...and if you read the crime reports in Nancy's Santa Ynez Journal, most of it is casino related and pretty funny....but I've never been to the casino cos I ain't no fool...
