4 Dead in Ohio

four!! how many more???

look it's real simple: less wars less invasions less dead soldiers and civilians, less people wearing their patriotism on their sleeves, less wasted money and on and on....

 

Trump is the commander-in-chief and his chief of staff, John Kelly is a 4 star general and they BOTH are pussies...


but apparently there's a threat in Niger so severe we need American troops over there to help the tribes..just ask the native American tribes how much we helped them and you'll see our foreign policy of deploying troops in sovereign countries is lunacy...

and now we have four ambushed and killed in Niger, wherever that is..the Trump people have been silent except to say maybe a tribal meeting went on too long and gave the killers time to plan...

then we have a supposed 4-Star general wimping out, smearing a Florida congresswoman, Frederica Wilson, and defending Trump's indefensible diss of one of the dead soldiers ( I like guys who stay alive)..I mean this Kelly is one big drama queen....


The White House Keeps Attacking Congresswoman Who Has Been Right All Along

Calling Rep. Frederica Wilson (D-Fla.) a liar keeps backfiring.

these guys are pathetic....

Sara Huckabee Sanders, who bothers me to no end, suggests we should not question 4-star generals..that is the MO of catholic priests so they can molest kids...don't question daddy figures!! how fucking stupid is this Sara who looks frighteningly like her dad....
of course all this is politicized with the conservatives being "stunned"..but they were pretty quick to politicize Benghazi, weren't they???

total hypocrites...Trump and Kelly should resign

Mary, Mary

where ya goin' to?

in society we all must practice self-control..believe you me, if it weren't frowned upon, I would whack- off in front of every woman from here to the grocery store...but I have self-control

 

unlike certain white guys who have fallen from grace because they had no self-control...Harvey Weinstein, Bill O'Reilly, Roger Ailes, Eric Bolling, ok all the weird guys on FOX NEWS....these fellows harassed women sexually with loofas, dirty phone calls, sex in the hallway with planters and all such perversions...all these dudes were in the entertainment industry..films and TV News...liberals and conservatives have dicks and these dickheads exposed themselves

get it?

EXPOSED THEMSELVES!!! HAHAHAHA!!!

Angel of the Morning

just call me angel of the morning, angel

 

now wait...Angel Martinez is running for Santa Barbara mayor but he pronounces his name ONG-HELL Martinez..

what's up with that??

Because The Night

belongs to us

circa 1987: I'm in the Olive Mill Bistro in Montecito having a beer at the bar one night...blonde walks in.. Frannie...she's a high school classmate from a private school...she's a twin..she and her sis Julie were both smart as can be or at least smarter than me

Frannie was really pretty so I say 'hi" and she sits down next to me and then all of a sudden she bolts out the door like a scared little girl!

I couldn't figure it out... I wanted her sooooooo bad ever since school...I just can't shake her

she became a minister and so did her sister...her dad was a church dude at All Saints by the Sea and the Miramar...her brother married Elaine from Seinfeld, Julia Louis-Dreyfus..

same night, in a booth sat John Carradine...he was an older man, drinking wikskey, bent over his glass with arthritis or something, talking to himself...still, I was in awe

so I'm watching Billy the Kid vs Dracula with John Carradine and Olive Carey..I lived in Olive's pink house on Rancho Monte Alegre....back in the day, she threw cocktail parties with the likes of John Wayne, Robert Mitchum and John Carradine showing up...

these were some of my western heroes!

maybe Frannie thought I was a vampire..or maybe that was Julie?

My Old School

whoa no, William and Mary won't do, now

ok so the News-Press has endorsed 75 year-old Frank Hotchkiss (75!!) for mayor and a couple other guys for council..one guy is a gym teacher and you know what they say about gym teachers..those who can't teach, teach gym....

I ain't a moron..I got a degree from Trump University!

now Wendy endorsed Trump, only two newspapers did this and both are named NEWS-PRESS.. the other being NEWS-PRESS and GAZETTE out of Missouri which also owns local TV station KEYT...from the beaches to the valleys

both these numbskulls voted for Trump knowing full well he scammed Americans with his fraudulent TRUMP UNIVERSITY, dodged the draft in the Vietnam era, and dissed a real American hero and veteran, John McCain..... taken together, Trump is certainly not a patriot

and Frank Hotchkiss is pretty much Wendy's lapdog ....when Frank's ships come to town, they shut down the city streets to accomodate the tourists and drinkers!!

but will any of these yahoos do a thing about the drunk driving problem? everyday I read that someone DUI crashed their car in Santa Barbara..the latest was a guy who ran his truck up onto the sidewalk near the Arlington Theater..FIVE PEOPLE INJURED!!!

and yet the city keeps pushing booze....

elect someone with the balls to take on the liquor lobby...

and re-instate the police Drunk Driver Team

Dancin' in the Moonlight

everybody here is outtasight


 

so the Avocado Festival in Carp is over and bittersweet..mostly sweet...tons of people having a really good time...it was a big jamboree.. music... food and I think Sunday was more crowded..

I got there just in time to hear the salsa band and see folks dancing...at the Seal Fountain some chick was singing...I love these young singers blazing a trail for themselves!

 

on a side street not far from the main stage, a little church was giving away mini-bibles..so I took one to save my soul such as it is

 

then I grabbed a shrimp combo from the Thai booth.. I don't analyse or judge food, I EAT IT!!

 

very cool and fun weekend all under the marvelous Harvest Moon

Come All You Fair and Tender Ladies

Painted Ladies, please

 
ok October has been pretty spooky so far...while the days and nights have been gorgeous here with the harvest moon and sunny days, we lost Tom Petty and the poor souls in Vegas...

and the Eagles are playing the Grand Old Opry but without Glenn Frey..sorry but Vince Gill is no substitute for Glenn

I have no answers

 

but I do have opinions about the SB City Council race and mayor's race...vote for whoever you want but don't vote for Angel Martinez...he's white as white can be..he ain't no homie and talks rightwing gibberish about pensions and the shoddy state of Santa Barbara

why just today I was in Santa Barbara and it was lovely

trust your eyes..

not Angel eyes
