Never Gonna Give You Up

never gonna let you down

that Rick Astley is one smooth dude!

look, they copped some lines from Michelle Obama for Melania's speech..so just admit it...but do Donald Trump and his minions admit it? no they keep lying and trying to blame Hillary! I know Hillary is guilty of some things and so am I..I'm guilty of something I just don't know what..

I mean these guys on Trump's campaign look like idiots trying to deny they stole some lines from Michelle..imitation is the sincerest form of flattery so maybe Melania likes Michelle who is a very cool and awesome First Lady!

and Melania says Trump is "never gonna give you up and never gonna let you down" at the end of her speech!! that's Rick Astley's song from the 1980s... fantastic song!!

now the Republican Convention appears to be a strange mix of carpetbaggers, holy rollers, and bourbon swilling separatists..... Ben Carson was acting weird as usual and his speech was cuckoo, trying to tie Hillary with Lucifer..haha.....superstitious Ben Carson is spooked by Lucifer!! what a lamebrain....well at least Hillary never hit her mother over the head with a hammer

so the flags are flown at half-staff for the cops who were killed in the line of duty...the conservatives are falling all over themselves, praising the cops in front of the network cameras yet trying to reduce their pensions with a bunch of anti-union pension reform bills...

cops deserve the money and benefits and to retire at age 50 if they live that long...so it seems the cops are only supported for political reasons by the GOP!!

his brain infected by the Zika virus, Wisconsin gov Scott Walker who ran for president but quit early, compared public workers like cops to ISIS! he gave a lame speech at the convention and Cruz gave a speech-that's what he does, gives speeches- but didn't endorse Trump saying he can't support anyone who maligns his wife Heidi and his dad Rafael, a commie

and Trump is a birther!!

do you remember the Republicans, where did they go??

We Can Work It Out

only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong

so the Independent and EDHAT has the story about the new school logo for Santa Barbara Unified School District..people use symbolism everyday to convey messages, sometimes hidden and Jung had a field day with symbols...Pacifica University in Summerland deals with all this stuff

Hitler had the swastika to convey hate..Christians have the cross to convey guilt...the Beatles used symbolism on "Yesterday and Today"  with the dead butchered baby dolls...McCartney said it was symbolic of the Vietnam war and boy was he right! brilliant..geez I had a dream last night a baby jumped into the Bird Refuge after a duck and I jumped in to save him from drowning...dreams are part of our collective conscience so keep an eye on your kids..I'm not a babysitter

and earlier in the day, I bought some Baby Swiss Cheese from Trader Joe's..why do they call it Baby Swiss Cheese? hmmmm...tastes good though

and even the cover that replaced the original Beatles butcher cover was cool...Yesterday and Today is a great album...heads above anything that came out that year...(1966)

I know for years that white people have been fleeing Santa Barbara public schools due to too many blacks and Mexicans..and for years they have been trying to cleanse the school system of inferior races...have they succeeded? I hope not..when we moved here the public schools had black kids, white kids, Asian kids and Mexican kids and I loved it!! surfers with wingtips and greasers with Pendletons...I was friends with all of them..it was cool

but now, thanks to ultra-conservative whites with Amerikin flags coming out of the kazoo, we have some racism...and this new logo may prove my point..or not

so I looked at the logo of the SB USD and found it curious...shaped like a shield with cross in the middle, I jumped to my research engine and was shocked by what I discovered...

the SBUSD logo was a rough match to white supremacy groups!! the shield shape indicates Aryan sensibilities...and the cross indicates sympathies with the KKK

the Honor Society ain't what it used to be

In The Summertime

when the weather's fine...

ok blasted on the front page of the News-Press was a picture of the new SB police chief, looking fit by the beach at the Carrillo Arts Center... I can't tell if this chick is a Dr. Laura wannabe or maybe she's looking for an under-sheriff to party with!

geez, you represent the police dept...wear a uniform unless you plan to spend all your time running marathons....or maybe she hasn't started work yet but I don't like the idea of coddling drunks with the mommy approach...I like the kick-ass approach which sends all the drunks crying to the News-Press...Wake up Chief!! Wendy is your enemy!!!
next I see Mike Stoker and Andy Putz as delegates for the Trump Convention in Ohio...be careful boys, Ohio has an open carry policy and I guarantee someone will be shot...now Stoker's seems like a nice guy but he can't win elections anymore.... at least he never got recalled! haha

also on the front page of the News-Press is a warning about a shark attack in Carpinteria...a shark killed a seal so the JAWS mentality comes out in the press...but the folks in Carp still found the time and courage to have fun in the water and didn't give in to fear

the terrorists use the same fear tactics and maybe that's where the News-Press picked up their shoddy reporting style...

live your lives and don't fear sharks... or girls

if her daddy's rich take her out for a meal, if her daddy's poor just do what you feel

Nice Nice Very Nice

So many people in the same device. Oh a whirling dervish and a dancing bear Or a Ginger Rogers and a Fred Astaire...Nice, nice, very nice Nice, nice, very nice

Je suis avec Nice aujourd'hui...et La French Festival dans Santa Barbara...BON!!

so I went in to SB to check out the French Fest esp since the Nice massacre by a crazed loser, product of yet another careless upbringing..

the festival is fun and I'm a sucker for a girl from San Francisco singing French songs under the oaks... and those baguettes

Vive La French Festival! 

Kicks

just keep getting harder to find, and your kicks ain't bringing you peace of mind, you better find out before it's too late girl,  you better get straight

Brandee Nyp is a beautiful young woman from Grand Rapids who worked as a secretary in local school..she got hooked on crack cocaine and turned to prostitution for awhile, hanging out on Division Street in Grand Rapids to pickup Johns

her story was on Lockup: Grand Rapids....the thing that got me was her fight with drugs...she admits she was losing..at one point saying crack was more important than her kids..brutally honest and it is hard to believe such a beautiful girl is a junkie....and she's a facebook friend

but it's a cause and effect type deal...drugs and prostitution

instead of setting up phony prostitute scams, maybe Sheriff Bill Brown could focus on real crime: ADDICTION to drugs and why girls turn to street prostitution to get the money to keep smoking crack

I was watching KEYT and Kelly Hoover, the blonde former News-Press employee was all concerned about human trafficking..I'm concerned too but what the Sheriff's Dept did had nothing to do with human trafficking

from the KEYT report, Kelly says the Sheriff was concerned about all the online ads for sex, so the dept set up a false site using a Goleta hotel to entice guys..once the guys arrived and paid for sex they thought they were gonna get, they were arrested!

WTF kinda cockamamie idea is that? didn't the county just approve millions of dollars for a new jail in Santa Maria?

I do recall the undersheriff who was having sex with his female sub-employee in a parking lot in a police cruiser...I think their safeword was "Bill Brown" the Sheriff!!




Bill eyes Kelly's ass!

I thought at first they had caught up with a real prositution ring with chicks from Honduras used as sex slaves for profit..but it wasn't even close to that...the so-called crimes commited by the 20 guys were fabricated by the Sheriff and his crew busted 20 guys for showing up to have sex with a fake babe for money...and they were arrested for "disorderly conduct"...well, procuring a prostitute is an orderly process..er. or so I'm told... so this sting is a farce

and we got female deputies posing as hookers wasting my tax money to arrest some local horndogs...

Sheriff Brown is an idiot and he should resign and take Kelly Hoover with him

dress her up like a little ho ho!

Nowhere To Run

Nowhere to run to, baby nowhere to hide Got nowhere to run to, baby nowhere to hide

I started thinking about sex and prostitutes and paying for sex..have I ever paid for sex? well, that's for me to know and for you to find out



but I was reading the News-Press and saw the face and names of the twenty guys caught in a sex sting...ouch! imagine having your name and face plastered in the News-Press for havng sex wida ho

embarassing no doubt..some of the guys are businessmen in Santa Barbara and show up on LinkedIn and other social media...so there's really nowhere to hide

two of the Johns work in Santa Barbara..one is an interior decorator and one works at a food place that makes nutrition bars.....now remember, everyone in America is guilty until either shot by the cops or proven innocent

and you need lots of protein and stamina to have sex so you should down nutrition bars whether you pay for it or not..some gals have thrown my back out or chased me outta town with their crazy amorous demands...lately the coast has been clear

but I've seen those nutrition bars at Tri County Produce..

maybe I'll head in today and get me some

Shopping for Dresses

So I'm shopping for dresses with no one to wear them
One in each color and one in each style
Maybe someday I'll find me a lady to wear them
And my shopping will be done for a while

my, what a pretty sail...looks like a pretty summer dress

so Merle Haggard died recently....last of the great old country singers..the real deal..the guys I think about when I'm dreamin' about the rodeo or driving thru Bakersfield or Ventura...or the Grand Ol' Opry...or the Palomino...or the Bandar...or the Top Hat burger joint..or Fender guitars

Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton, Waylon Jennings, Buck Owens, Roy Clark, Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson...those kinda guys...nowadays I gotta put up with Blake Sheldon types..oh he's not even close 

but Merle...great artist, songwriter and working man..at least that was the image but the songs were so good

my fave was "Shopping for Dresses" which Merle wrote with Little Jimmy Dickens...the beauty and simplicity of that song boggles my mind..it's genius

it's an era in music that will never come again..

Merle Haggard was one of the greats
