Kill Bill:

Vol 1

with FOX NEWS calling everything that comes out of the White House a scandal, and O'Reilly dissing France for not following us into the Iraq disaster, I can say unequivocally that FOX NEWS in and of itself is a scandal..and one more of Ruppie's "journalists" was just arrested-the latest in Rupert Murdoch's  continuing hacking and bribery disgrace

Bill and Rob..birdbrains of a feather!!

 

so what about Bill O'Reilly..how does he keep squeaking by with all his nonsense? first the sex harassment scandal, and now his "books" that come out seemingly weekly..

what about Killing Lincoln....and Killing Kennedy... and Killing Jesus.. and the Nat Geo channel producing Killing Lincoln..a docu-drama of sorts...well all these killing books were written by Bill O'Reilly from FOX NEWS...Bill's boss is Rupert Murdoch, one of the most corrupt publishers in the biz...like Wendy!!

so O'Reilly says he wrote all these books with a co-writer...I watched Killing Lincoln on the Nat Geo Channel..five minutes anyway...that's all I could hack..it was just so bad....it was narrated by Tom Hanks, who looked like hostage forced to talk to the camera...bad move for Hanks...

and now Bill's got Wendy's pal Rob Lowe, no stranger to sex scandals, playing a role in Bill's little kill fantasies!!

a critic: Too bad so many talented people whom I respect and National Geographic a cable channel I respect should make a docudrama from a book "co-written" by Bill O’Reilly. And given the existence of a certain book titled "The Day Lincoln Was Shot," written by Jim Bishop (in the late 1950s or so) and the subsequent live presentation on TV (with Jack Lemmon as John Wilkes Booth)and a tv movie version made about 10 years ago, O’Reilly’s book deserves to be investigated as a case of possible and blatant plagerism …

hmmm...plagerism....I don't doubt that for a minute...plagerized some and screwed up the rest:

O’Reilly, a former high school history teacher in the 1970s, prefaces Killing Lincoln with a special note to his readers: "The story you are about to read is true and truly shocking." No stranger to hyperbolic posturings, however, the fact that the statement isn’t entirely factual isn’t shocking. Upon reviewing O’Reilly and co-author Martin Dugard’s book, the National Parks Service, which manages Ford’s Theatre, banned it from one of its bookshops citing ten different errors, one of which was repeated multiple times within the book.

The right-wing talk show host came under scrutiny from historians and book critics — several noting the mentions of President Lincoln in the Oval Office, which wasn’t even constructed until forty-four years after his assassination.

The late Jim Bishop, a veteran newspaperman who once reported for the New York Daily News and later was a syndicated columnist, saw his book "The Day Lincoln Was Shot" become a runaway best-seller in 1955.

A series of similar-themed books followed, with Bishop penning "The Day Christ Died" in 1957 and then in 1968 "The Day Kennedy Was Shot" — a minute-by-minute account of JFK's 1963 shooting in Dallas.
Perhaps his most critically acclaimed book, "FDR'S Last Year," came out in 1984.

The parallels with O'Reilly are uncanny.
In 2011 O'Reilly penned a book about Lincoln, "Killing Lincoln: The Shocking Assassination That Changed America Forever." The book, co-authored with Martin Dugard, became a New York Times best-seller with more than 5 million copies sold.

Last October, O'Reilly and Dugard followed up with "Killing Kennedy: The End of Camelot," which debunks many of the conspiracy myths holding that Lee Harvey Oswald did not act alone in the assassination of the president.

It too became an instant best-seller, and in fact remains No. 1 on Amazon.com in several categories.
Now O'Reilly has announced that, like Bishop, he will write a book about Jesus Christ. Titled "Killing Jesus," it will recount the life and times of Jesus and the Christian legacy he left behind.

O'Reilly and Lowe...what a couple of  hacks these guys are! 

Highway to Hell

I'm on the highway to hell / No stop signs... I'm on the highway to hell / ( Don't stop me) / And I'm going down, all the way down / I'm on the highway to hell.

 

well here's two stupid stories if I ever saw two stupid stories..some actor on a soap opera won an Emmy Award...he lives in Summerland and Scott Steepleton put it on the front page of the News-Press! well, who the fuck cares?? not I certainly..

then we have the case of poor Simon Chavez who wandered onto Highway 101 in the wee hours whilst boozed and plastered out of his mind, then he got hit and killed by some gook who was driving back from the casino..the gook is in jail for felony hit and run...I think that's fair because if he had hit a dog he would have stopped, picked it up , brought it home and cooked it for dinner!

but anyway Simon's mom is suing the cab driver who gave her drunk son a ride because Simon got out of the cab and wandered off to meet his fate....

whew..I don't understand these people..first of all the mom is using Barry Cappello's law firm, Cappello & Noël LLP and Barry hasn't won a case in ages...this case will be nothing new...the mom will lose...Barry is chasing a big payout again...

the reason the mom's son is dead is because of  his alcohol abuse so I'd sue the bar who kept plying him with spirits....oh I know alcohol is legal but it's still a dangerous drug... I mean if Simon was sipping 7-UP or Perrier do you think he'd have ended up dead on the highway, hit by a gook from the casino??

or the mom could sue the cops for not realizing there was a drunk guy riding as a passenger in a cab...

geez, the possibilities are endless!

helplessly hoping

her harlequin hovers nearby...

well no harlequins but plenty of cops and dudes were hovering near Kelly Hoover, the spokeswoman for the Sheriff's Dept...it was Coffee with a Cop today and I didn't realize it so had to go back home to get my camera because my cell phone sucks at taking pictures..then I got some shots butt the visit with the cops was almost over...

I watched them for awhile in front of Starbuck's in Carp and everyone seemed in good spirits on a cool cloudy day...Sheriff Brown was there looking official..some police cruisers, some citizens talking with the deputies...Kelly Hoover hobnobbing with folks all smiley and pretty...good pick, Sheriff Brown!! you got my vote...

[update] whoa wait a minute Kelly..can you explain this: Nov 4, 2012 ... By KELLY HOOVER, NEWS-PRESS CORRESPONDENT. November 4, 2012 12: 34 AM...she used to work for the News-Press???? this could change everything..sniff sniffle...stay tuned..

I took some pictures of Kelly and tried to get a frontal shot but she kept turning away like she was shy or something..then I zeroed in to talk to her but she ran into Starbucks, seemingly to avoid me!! what am I the creature from the Black Lagoon?? geez...



Sheriff Brown is sneaking a peek at Kelly!

 

anyway I wanted to thank the cops and deputies all over Santa Barbara for all the work they do esp dealing with drunk drivers....keep it up..the checkpoints, the stops, everything until people with alcohol issues wake up...

Coffee with a Cop is a fantastic program and those who are scared of the police would benefit the most if they stopped by to chat..that is if they can catch the one they wanna talk with!!

love isn't lying it's loose in a lady who lingers, saying she is lost..and choking on "hello"...

Downtown

where all the lights are bright, downtown

 

feral youth and homeless bums plaguing streets of Santa Barbara

"The Year of the Locusts"

 

A band of modern-day Gypsies descends on Santa Barbara, its aging matriarch (Wendy) unaware that the younger generation has moved on from the traditional flim-flam to million-dollar heists and.....

Detective Lt. Mike Stone: Somebody call for a cop?
Inspector Steve Keller: Well, I called for one about an hour ago, but you know they're never around when you need 'em.
Detective Lt. Mike Stone: Well, here I am.

so once upon a time there were some homeless people hanging out at the Cabrillo Ballfield so the city closed the bathrooms...then citizens and nearby businesses complained about the homeless then citizens and nearby businesses complained again about the homeless gathering at the ballfield again and again and again.....

nearby Casa Esperanza is a homeless shelter by the beach.... the Milpas Community, led by a fat chick, formed to complain about the Casa and the icky homeless people hanging around Milpas...then they finally got the city to erect a fence around the Cabrillo ballfield and that kept the homeless people out...then the Milpas Community people won an award from someone in Minnesota for cleaning up their neighborhood....ahem...

ok so the homeless had to go somewhere else so they migrated downtown to City Hall and the Central Library and State Street....Scott Steepleton had a News-Press story about the homeless who are scaring folks in the De La Guerra Plaza triangle, esp Team Wendy folks...Scott says the homeless cacophony would keep any sane person away from De La Guerra Plaza...the transients cuss, brawl, and aggressively panhandle...maybe he's talking about the bar crowd at 2:00 am after last call...

epilogue: the transients are definitely here for good... and they are starting to bother the News-Press...starting to bother Scott Steepleton...I like that....the News-Press potheads will now have to snuggle up to the cops/unions to help keep the transients at bay...the same cops that Randy Rowse and Frank Hotchkiss support...all working together to outsmart the homeless...Dale Francisco said it best: got a problem, call a cop!!

meanwhile, the cops were busy arresting some non-transients for DUI, marijuana and other drugs, felony theft, assault and battery, trespassing, being drunk and disorderly to name a few....the Superior Court Calendars have thousands of local cases, civil and criminal, on the docket....thousands of cases involving all types of people...business owners, landlords, students, investigative journalists, newspaper publishers, restaurant owners, bars, hotels....all headed to court for one reason or another...

everyday is irony in the asphalt jungle

Sunset Grill

let's go down to the Sunset Grill

a continuing look at the alcohol culture in Santa Barbara....and who's pushing it

Pali Tasting Room-New Funk

WTF now we got a bunch of Nipper and Wendy clones running around Santa Barbara?? "professional" wine tasters and water tasters...geez, one guy over at EDHAT went wine tasting and everything was hip and cool cool cool! at Pali Wine the dude said of a sample: "It had some nice caramel notes, but I think that these grapes may need more sun and heat, and I found the wine somewhat thin."

the grapes may need more sun and heat and the wine was thin?????

this dude sounds like a fluffball! actually he sounds like the guy who works at the Sentinel Weekly...which leads me into today's story....

ok I 've been reading the funny little freebie the Sentinel for awhile and I've said before they are alcohol-centric...pushing booze like a drug dealer pushes drugs at high school...now, the paper is owned by Jim Buckley of the Montecito Journal and his son Timmy is listed as the publisher and Mattie Mazza is the editor...Mattie's a bit of a brat so I'm thinking mommy and daddy sent him thru law school....another trust funder wasting my time...and he's pals with Darryl Genis and the old groupie of Montecito, Richeard Mineards...



Mattie and Eringer...barflies

from Mattie's law website: Whether it's the development and execution of an effective litigation strategy or prophylactic counsel to avoid litigation....

prophylactic council?? you mean they wear rubbers in court??

but anyway Mattie did a glowing story on Bo Henry's Bar, the one Mr. Wimpy sold Eringer...you remember Eringer..Prince Albert's bitch and frequently shows up in Mineard's column in the Montecito Journal...

Mattie says he likes sitting in bars drinking beer in the afternoon..that's how most trustfunders spend their time..drinking in bars! Mattie makes lots of cutesy remarks about alcohol abuse....

ok so the Sentinel pushes booze and restaurants and I did some searching and it appears Matt was in the restaruant biz up in Calistoga..he was or is pals with a couple of restauranteers, Mark Young and Ron Goldin ...who own Brannan's Grill up there...seem the grill had some problems with roaches running around kitchen (the bugs) and health inspectors had to close it down for awhile...while the inspectors were inspecting, the owners Goldin and Young were denying and making excuses...all the restaurants up here have roaches says one guy...hahaha

I learned this in my restaurant days: clean as you go!

http://napavalleyregister.com/news/local/roach-problem-closed-calistoga-restaurant-for-a-day/article_8ef2cf46-fb98-11e1-82a5-0019bb2963f4.html

apparently Mattie was brought in to manage Brannan's and it failed YET ANOTHER INSPECTION!! the owners and Matt blamed it on a change in management..they claim Matt was brought in to clean up the restaurant and the transition caused the inspection failure...

after all the problems, they finally passed an inspection...because they had to...I'm sure if there were no inspectors to check these businesses out, roaches would be part of your cheezeburger...

so I guess if you don't practice law or can't run a restaurant, you can always edit a freebie newspaper like the Sentinel, which started publishing in October 2012

I'll be watching this slippery alco-dude who's a tool for Jim Buckley and other cocktail- soaked conservative freaks ..I'll be watching for Young and Goldin to see if they open any roacherants in SB...

and I'll be watching out for roaches at Bo Henry's, too... 

pretty woman

walkin' down the street, pretty woman, the kind I like to meet

[update] I really wanted to strangle Martin right then and there for causing such motorway mayhem and the hurt to the motorcyclists....I wanted to break his scrawny little neck, but I think he's mental...I mean wayyyyy mental...I can't beat up mental dudes...

[update] as Maguire was standing before the judge, I saw him stumble a bit and his lawyer Christine had to hold him.. the judge asked him a question and Martin mumbled something into the microphone

[update] either Martin is mental or he's done so many drugs his brain had been fried down to the size of a peanut

[update] I think I saw Lara Cooper from Noozhawk at the hearing...she's cute, well-groomed and clean and a little yuppie! years ago, I would have dirtied her up a bit....hehehe]

[update] there's so many pretty woman at the court house! probably they wanted to be ballerinas when they were little girls...

pretty latina with big boobs!!

 

have you seen Scruffy? call 805-813-0766

 

[update] as I was leaving the hearing, I noticed from a distance something on my windshield..GODAMMIT, another ticket I thought, cursing the metermaid..but no, it was a notice of a lost dog! poor mutt

[update] the bailiffs have a thankless job keeping order in the court, so here's a 'thank-you' to them

[update] the courthouse is so nice and the grounds are so pretty, like a woman!!

ohh, ohhh, pretty woman!!!

jailbreak

Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
Somewhere in this town

so I went into Santa Barbara to check out the Martin Maguire hearing...it was overcasty but humid...the trees are purple and there's some nice white flowers at the courthouse...

the hearing is in the Figueroa Dept across the street, so I go in...weapons check..ok, I'm in..

Martin's cell phone fascination

 

 

I go upstairs..it's about 8:15 am..the courtroom is locked...SB10..so I wait outside and sit down on the bench by the courtroom...a few folks are milling around..then I see Martin Maguire in blue-purple shirt and khakis....he looks thin and lethargic, like a horse that hasn't been fed in awhile..

so he shuffles by me a few times like a lost little kid....he's looking down..he reeks of stale cigarette smoke..UGH!! I hate that smell..he must be chain smoker too....the dude looks like a zombie....I said hey Martin and he said nothing...he was constantly looking at his cell phone

Martin and Mystery Woman

 

then some pretty blonde chick with red toenails sits across from me...she looks at me with a stern face, like a marble statue...I call her the "mystery woman"...then Marty walks up to her and I figure out they are together..geez ladies...is that the standard? a chain-smoking zombied out stoner??

anyway I figure maybe she's Martin's lawyer but no..his lawyer came in later and she was that Christine lady...skinny with a long nose and long brown hair...kinda witchy-looking but not bad...

I'm in the courtroom now so there's a few people in the seats and Clifford Anderson is the judge...I wish the lawyers and judges would SPEAK UP so I could hear them but everyone is talking low like almost a whisper...even with microphnes on! it's silly

so I sat through an hour of a case about some guy accused of breaking into a storage locker in Goleta..he was accused of stealing stuff...I don't know the outcome because I could barely hear the judge!!!

then a dude and a pretty young gal came in, dressed in blue prison garb..they sat in the jury seats...the chick looked like young Michele Bachman and was flirting with me with her eyes.. her peepers were hypnotic... I fell under her spell and tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak tonight because I gotta have her...

Hiding low looking right to left
If you see us coming I think it's best
To move away do you hear what I say
From under my breath

then Marty's case came up and they set a date for a preliminary hearing...I think anyway because it was all hush hush tones again....

if you can't say it, then sing it for chrissakes!!
