carp diem

wow some people are making a such a fuss over a fish...the carp....the Great Lakes region is in a panic that the Asian carp will destroy the fishing industry by competing with sport fish...what is it about the carp that evokes such irrational fear?? hmmmmmm

as a child in Illinois we had a lake nearby and skated on it in the winter, and fished in the summer.....it was an awesome lake....we'd go down there and spend hours fishing...impaling worms on hooks while they writhed and bled.....I felt a tinge of sadness for those worms....but there's plenty worms and they serve many useful purposes....chief among them was to instill wonder in a boy...Diamond Lake...I loved that lake and I always will...

so we'd go down in the morning and hang out at the shore..the water was clear as baby drool and the perch like to hang by the banks....you could see them..we'd drop our lines and catch about five and take them home, clean them and cook them for dinner..it was a blast....

but there was a dark side to the lake, too..stories of big black fish called a carp that only lurked in the deeper waters...we'd go out on little row boats and see them..they looked like little dolphins the way they swam..and they were big....and occasionally the bigger guys would catch one while us little guys stuck with the perch...the point being, the carp were not evil..they just existed and they always will..they didn't kill off the perch..there's plenty of fish to go around...there's carp in the local lakes and now they are using arrows to shoot them....

I got no problem with arrows or hooks, but I do have a problem with the county parks guy demonizing the carp saying they are not good for the lakes because they compete with the "native" fish or eat their eggs which is a myth....all I have to do is go back to 1964 and remember Diamond Lake...and all the fun we had...

go ahead and fish for the carp..but make sure you harvest them for a good reason and realize what they are good for...they are bottom feeders....good bottom feeders...

Bud Ramer, a longtime carp advocate, also displays carp on beds of crushed ice in Ramer's Fish Market, in Winona. Customers can buy smoked carp, which is as tasty as any and better than most smoked fish found hereabouts; pickled carp, which easily passes for herring; or fresh fillets, which can be fried, baked, frozen or dried.

"Carp is the universal fish," said Ramer. "Carp have gotten very bad press for some reason. But they're not going to go away. We might as well start eating them."

other bottom feeders are bad like DUI lawyers, anti-worker lawyers, Lance looking for olives at the bottle (sic) of a martini glass...oh, his hearing resumes today....maybe I'll check it out....although I might go fishing instead...

the natives are restless....

hey native only cult....and weed wankers
look..some fennel! cut it down..it grows again!!

FENNEL!! sweet fennel..licorice...smells good in soft south coast breeze...

I know where tons of fennel is!!!! TONS!!!

AHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHHHAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

well, it is clear the Lance defense has lost hope on proving the forgeries ever happened on the Trombeta waivers.... and that's why they brought in the infrared extras to cast doubt on Kasi Beutel's ink type....

Lance's lawyer Daryl Genis has been explaining explaining explaining his case in the comments section of the Independent (the Joe Cole influence??) while Lance, having his own personal reporter in Scott Steepleton, continues his rants in the News-Press...if you can't win in court, try the newspapers and preach to the booze lobby... the booze lobby is definitely in town...

now back to the handwriting thing..I found some testimony by Blanco indicating the difficulty in assessing the authenticity of a signature: "Moreover, Harris's own handwriting expert testified as to the difficulties in assessing authenticity. Blanco testified that a signature can change over 10 years. Medical problems contribute to handwriting deterioration. Photocopies obscure detail and make authentication more problematic. Blanco testified that in assessing the authenticity of Dr. Love's signature on a document, he could not make an accurate determination absent a microscope."

so we got infrared lights, microscopes, magnifying glasses, the naked eye....and anything else in the bag of tricks to assess the inassessability of a signature!! I'd rather Madame Rosinka read my palm than Blanco figure out if I signed something!! this is the most absurd waste of time I've ever seen!!!

Authentication Of People...

what next, bar codes on everyone...cameras everywhere....watching the citizens watching the cops watch the citizens...all so some punks can drink and drive...well, do we want to fight crime or not?? shall we disband the police dept and use "precogs"....

In the world of The Minority Report, Commissioner John Anderton is the one to thank for the lack of crime. He is the originator of the Precrime System, which uses "precogs"--people with the power to see into the future--to identify criminals before they can do any harm. Unfortunately for Anderton, his precogs perceive him as the next criminal. But Anderton knows he has never contemplated such a thing, and this knowledge proves the precogs are fallible. Now, whichever way he turns, Anderton is doomed--unless he can find the precogs's "minority report"--the dissenting voice that represents his one hope of getting at the truth in time to save himself from his own system.

let's just start with a quicker path to justice...instead of all these continuations of hearings, cut the fat and go for the lean parts... so to all the judges and lawyers drowning us in useless details:

It is of the highest importance, therefore, not to have useless facts elbowing out the useful ones.
-- Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, "A Study in Scarlet"

the Little Dipper

is rightwing religious nut Don Katich, Operations Manager for the News-Press, recruiting giggly blondes from the Young Miss America Foundation, brainwashing them and then calling them reporters...I think so..

we know that Wendy owns the building where the Reagan Ranch Center resides and that she gives millions to the Young Miss America Foundation, in essence owns them, a group of cult-like rightwingers who must have the IQ of a Barbie Doll...

well on the front page of the Saturday N-P was a story about avowed racist Andrew Breitbart giving a talk at the RRC to the YMAF!

the story was written by Michal Elseth whom I've determined is a girl..a very special girl to Wendy and Don....I think Nipper must be on the way out the door to be replaced by Don Katich...so we'll have to call Don "Dipper" now....ok?? Don Katich is Dipper...

anyhoo, Michal wrote the story about Breitbart and credited him with breaking the news about the "ACORN child sex trafficking scandal ".....of course the story is mostly made up as any research will tell you..it was a sting by a skinny rightwinger with a hidden camera who went after Planned Parenthood too... the sting was exposed as a hoax

what??? did I miss something? I know Brietbart tried to doctor some vidoetapes to discredit a black lady in the Obama Adminsitration as a racist..her name is Shirley Sherrod and she is suing Brietbart for defamation... I hope she wins big and forces that jerkoff to get a real job!!

Federal Judge Richard Leon has tossed out two motions to dismiss former USDA official Shirley Sherrod's defamation suit against Andrew Breitbart, Zoe Tillman reports for Legal Times.
Leon denied Breitbart's initial motion to dismiss as well as a special motion to dismiss under Washington's new statute barring strategic lawsuits against public participation, or SLAPPs. Leon did not publish a written opinion along with his orders.

for the record, here's an example of a doctored picture....

and Andy Breitbart must've been out to lunch when all those Catholic priests were molesting children while the Pope was covering up..hmmmm..and the Bishops....and where was Andy when the religious right Focus on the Family founder was busted for looking for boys on Rent a Male...where was the News-Press on these stories?? hmmmmm

but the real question, the burning question is.... has Don the Dipper been dipping his dipper in the Young Miss America Foundation's blonde reporters pool?? I think we know the answer...

areyouexperienced

publishers: send your cub reporters off to see the world..send them to DC..pick up the tab and they will return to you a bit more jaded..and that's a good thing!

as I sit thru the Lance hearings I see lots of people in the court room...last Wednesday half way thru the proceedings, some big fat Mexican dude tells me to scoot down so he can take my seat...I tell him if he wants to sit down, he'll have to squeeze in because I ain't budging....so he squeezes in and sits his fat ass down.. I actually had to move out of my seat a bit to accomodate his fat ass..he tells me he's got a blog..yeah, I've seen it..it's another anti-cop thing...dude, don't you ever sit next to me again....EVER!!

and I see a few other folks..Nick Welsh.....the guys from Channel 17....Team Wendy...and some young girls who report for Noozhawk and the Independent....they are so cute! why can't I take pictures in the courtroom..what's the big deal???

anyway, I read their take on the proceedings and I wonder..are they experienced...they look about 18 or 19 years old..they're clean and fresh like I like 'em......but the writing is a little short on grit....on things that older gals would see... I like older gals too..my cut off point is around 65..after that, what's the point?? the well is dry!

but seriously, the press is speculating that because Lance is doing all the talking, he's winning his case..the prosecution is losing..but the case hasn't even gone to trial yet..and it may not..that's the excuse Judge Hill used for not issuing any more gag orders...he says if a trial comes, he may consider it, but of course it's too late...Hill has given too much latitude to Lance..LAnce should be on trial now and then we'll see some folks take the witness stand...

Judge Hill is a time waster....he ok'd another trial for Corey Lyons, the guy accused of killing his brother and his bro's girlfriend...this will be the third trial for Lyons and jurors will be bussed in from Solvang..and Judge Hill thinks this is all ok...I don't...Lyons should be set free..he should have been freed after the first hung jury or mistrial....

there does seem to be pattern among Santa Barbara judges not being assertive...it's the jellyfish syndrome and it must be stopped....my goodness, step up to the plate and move the process along..if you piss off some defendants, so be it..but the taxpayers are footing the bills for all this incompetence...all this stalling....all this lack of real world experience....

But who in your measly little world / Are you trying to prove that / You're made out of gold and, eh, can't be sold / So, are you experienced?

me and Baby Jane

congratulations to Leon Russell and Neil Diamond for finally making it into the Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame...long overdue for these two giant musical forces


now to the Hall of Shame..the slimy sub-culture of DUI lawyers.... is the criminal justice system really justice for criminals??

it's true that some of the lawyers went into closed session on Wednesday, but I didn't know what it was all about..I guess that Genis and Lance went straight to the News-Press with the info and Scott Steepleton put it in his story...

and under the heading Scott writes that the evidence "can't be dismissed as insignificant" with no one attributed to the quote until the last page...now, Steepleton wants readers to think that the Judge Brian Hill said that but the quote belonged to a DUI lawyer named William Makler who says his client "Jane Doe" was arrested by Kasi .....another DUI lawyer who makes tons of money off these trials... there's a little sub-culture of lawyers, unethical hacks, and drunks passing around the bottle of allegations!

it's more stuff from James Blanco and DUI lawyers and it's supposedly "potentially devastating" for the prosecution......potentially devastating?? that's what they've been saying since day one...that's what fat Nancy Crawford -Hall has been saying for a years regarding Isla Visa voter fraud.....what we have here is a bunch of windbags!!!

and there's talk of infrared lights being used to determine if..uh..if...forms were filled in advance of a DUI arrest? I don't know what this is supposed to mean...if you're on DUI patrol today and you need to fill out forms, it would seem logical to enter certain things to save time later considering all the drinkers on the road....like your name, date or whatever..as a matter of fact, that is not unusual which Blanco admitted so this just more smoke from Lance and company...

and the smoking gun #99 is James Blanco, the ethically challenged "handwriting expert" found some things on Beutel's forms that would indicate she has, as Lance says, "zero credibility"....this coming from guys with zero credibility themselves!!

remember, Blanco was expelled from his professional organization:

the Academy’s Ethics Committee found clear and convincing evidence that Blanco had violated Section 1(a) of the Academy’s Code of Ethics and Conduct by submitting an erroneous and misleading report to be used in the judicial process....

looks like he's up to his old tricks again.....

long day's journey into night

so I woke up Wednesday morning and could barely move...I must've pinched a nerve in my neck..so I crawled around the condo like a baby, like a worm, like a wounded hawk...

I gotta get to the Lance hearing at 10:30 AM and a board meeting tonight....fuck, I'm crippled..I'm not big enough to deal with that, so I start whining and cursing God..then I down three Excedrin and can walk a bit...finally after an hour, I can fly..I must've simulated having sex last night with a woman on the kitchen counter and threw out my back or something...it's called "night terrors"....it happened once before..I got up at night and just started sleepwalking and fell over the fireplace screen chasing some dream girl....

anyway I'm lucky the Lance hearing starts at 10:30 AM so I head into Santa Barbara....I get there at 10:00 AM and see just a few folks, Lance and Genis and Scoles and the other lawyers... infamous angel officer Kasi Beutel didn't show today....

you talkin' to me???

so I'm sitting in the back at around 10:00 and the cop asks if I'm gonna take pictures....I guess he remembered me from last time and I said " no, I won't..I obey the law" and we both laughed...

I was sitting a few seats behind and to the left of Lance and he gets up before the hearing started and walks over to me and says: "who are you?"
I says "I'll give you ten dollars and tell you"

he looks at me confused..then I says, "how about you give me ten dollars and I'll tell you who I am"

he says "I don't need to pay you ten dollars..who are you...you're that guy who writes a blog, right? I've been trying to figure out who you are"

I says "gimme a ten spot"

he says "I just asked you a simple question" appearing rather snotty... I says "and I just gave you an answer"...then I says "stick around, I'll cause disturbance in the courtroom, you might like that"....Lance was getting perturbed and told me I'm not important enough for him to worry about....

I said to him "if I'm not important enough for you then why are you talking to me?"...
he mumbled something.....

I told him if he's an investigative reporter, he should go investigate me if he wants to find out who I am..he went "hummphh" and walked away like spoiled brat....the dude is a control freak and a gadfly, jumping around the courtroom trying to win friends...you wanna be my friend Pete, you gotta give me ten bucks...

ok so.... the hearing begins and guess what, Judge Hill is in a talkative mood..going over things again and again...they went over the Trombetta waivers ad nauseum....Lance remained quiet as a mouse

this is what the Lance case is riding on: did the cops destroy the waivers on purpose to get rid of evidence of forgery.... I would bet no... of course not

Darryl Genis, Lance's lawyer, repeatedly said he requested the original Trometta waivers but Judge Hill pointed out that the record shows Genis only requested a copy, which the cops gave to him....Genis danced like a deformed showgirl and asked the judge to assume that everyone knew what he was talking about and that he wanted the originals...Genis is on a fishing expedition and the prosecution called him ridiculous...

indeed.....it was a silly waste of time and the waiver/handwriting issue should be thrown out..relying on an ethically challenged "handwriting expert" or palm prints to clear a DUI is absurd....Lance blew a 0.09....case closed....

also they went back and forth on contempt charges, subpoenas to cops from Genis which were all "quashed" (voided) by the judge..... another waste of time...Genis lost big on all counts...

there was gal in front of me dressed in blue, with her dark hair pulled back, exposing her sumptuous ears, with two diamond studs in each one....I found myself fantasizing about licking her ears so I may have missed some details....but all the usual suspect where in the court room...

the next hearing will bring in some more cops to testify about the Trombettas.....it's on Aug 31 at 10:30 AM....dream a little dream of me

you don't send me flowers

anymore....

neighborhood compatibility....WTF does this mean? I watched the SB City Council hearing about a lady on the west side who wants to build a house but she has a neighbor who doesn't like the design...and the neighbor pouted to the council why the house shouldn't be built....

but first, they had the public comment where a few mad dudes rant like Wayne Scoles...the jury who found him not guilty of screaming profanities at Cam Sanchez was obviously wrong...the guy has some sort of post traumatic stress syndrome and an authority complex...he went up screaming about Cammy "fire him.. fire him" and he went off on the cops "On Patrol" TV show..saying that the police get "hard ons" watching themselves on TV....

Mayor pro-tem Bendy White just sat there instead of telling Scoles to watch his language...if I were the mayor I would have had Scoles arrested and mentally evaluated!!

then another dude spoke about UFOs..then Bob Hansen spoke and told Sharon Byrne to stop the hate speech against the homeless..apparently Sharon told the News-Press that the homeless are terrorists!! hey, why don't we ban fat blonde chicks from the downtown area too!!

and some fine Latina babe spoke in favor of the house....

the house already had approval but it was being appealed...and listening to Mike Self and Dale Francisco, with the new gay hairdo, try telling us that maintaining traditional neighborhoods should be the over riding factor to deny property owners the right to improve their houses....what?
and then Dale says the planning staff or ARB are unethical for approving the project because they missed a detail or something....uh, Dale you are owned by the most unethical person in Santa Barbara..WENDY!!! and for a guy who talks alot on the council he doesn't seem to say very much.....

MRS. McCAW....GIVE YOUR EMPLOYEES A RAISE!!!

so what is a traditional neighborhood? what is a compatible house..a house that gets along with other houses?? look, houses can't be compatible...only living beings can and if you don't get flowers anymore then you're not compatible anymore...simple

you can't assign a human trait to a house..like you can't say "ohh , that house looks happy!"
or "wow, my house is mad at me today"....can you??

so the house in question will have an industrial look to it which I think is cool....like the old feed stores or even like a greenhouse....I love greenhouses! I say you put more greenhouses in Satan Barbara and kill off a coupla Pearl Chase Society members...they always put words in Pearl's mouth, so why don't just join her in the hereafter and let people build their houses...or greenhouses..for all we know Pearl Chase may have liked greenhouses and flowers...

but no grow houses, ok?

sock monkeys...

ok so now I know how they get their reporters and editorial writers...they advertise in the News-Press want ads and pay them $25 per story/editorial..it's right there for all to see..

so Monkey Terry Tyler who is so enamored of Das Williams that he knows how Das would vote on certain issues if he were still on the council, and then criticizes him for not voting as an assembly member the way he "undoubtedly" would vote as a council member... confused?? I swear, that was the oddest thing I've read in a while, too!

so Das voted against the RDA.....you think liberals don't know a waste of money when they see one? the fact is Monkey Tyler doesn't know how Das would have voted on anything that comes before this present council because DAS IS NOT ON THIS PRESENT COUNCIL!!!
the fact is the RDA needs to go the way of the State St bench turners...no money for frivolous stuff..red brick sidewalks that crack under vehicle weight and other such "improvements" are reason enough to take this money out of the hands of people who don't know how to spend it wisely......

hey let's switch to the Carp city council now for a change....city councils past and present generally have been very good....we have no bench turners or light blue line runners here.... just Joe, another certified News-Press sock monkey..

at issue is the expansion of Alberstons in Casitas Plaza...for some reason Mayor Al Clark and council member Kathleen Reddington were reported to be against it...Kathleen said in one report that she shops at Whole Foods so why expand Albertsons??

Whole Foods sucks, that's why! they sell politics..the CEO should just shut up and sell overpriced food to all the suckers who shop there..and people me shop locally at the new Albertsons!!

the expansion was heard last month but councilman Joe Armendariz was not present, so the council dead-locked...I wrote an email to the council and expressed my belief that the expansion was a good idea since they are moving into an existing building, the old Rite Aid place, it should not be an issue..

Dear Council members,
there is no logical reason to deny Albertson's expansion into the old Rite Aid building..a building that already exists...while some of you may choose to shop elsewhere, I shop locally most of the time and Albertsons has been a good neighbor...a better store benefits everyone!
I never will shop at Whole Foods due to their policy of selling politics instead of food, but that's my choice. I am supportive of efforts to keep Carpinteria a small town with strong agriculture, business and environmental traditions, and help established folks continue to be successful here...please support Albertsons..
thank -you!

Al Clark emailed back and said he was considering voting to approve..I hope he does..that's what adults do when considering the issue, sometimes they see things differently instead of following a rigid agenda...

so the News-Press sock monkey Morgan Hoover (girl or guy?) wrote a story saying the Joe Armendariz, who works for Wendy's AM 1290, would be the deciding vote...well, I think Al Clark will be the deciding vote....it should go 4 -1 to approve....

actually, they all voted yes....see how influential I've become??

goddam...

the pusher man...

so why did a story about the city council's comments about Kasi Beutel appear online Sunday, but not appear in the paper..and then disappear altogether? it was written by Michal Elseth, who is a girl...look, name your kids appropriately then I won't confuse the boys with the girls...anyway, I'm investigating this little journalistic blurb....

ok I've been talking about drunk drivers a lot lately but that doesn't mean that high drivers are any better..I'm talking pot, weed , marijuana...the stuff has been around since the beginning so don't blame the hippies, but it simply is another drug that people don't need...
the reason I mention this is a guy named David Bearman MD keeps writing these pro-pot opinions in the News-Press..

he wants pot legalized and uses kids to prove his point...actually he wants it legalized so he can use it for clients, no doubt....well, I thought it was legal for medical use, like morphine...I got no problem with that...but when he suggests nonsense to justify smoking pot, then I figure he's been in the News-Press restroom smoking joints with Lanny Ebenstein...

first Bearman says that kids who smoke dope may have ADD or ADHD...no, they don't..they have lousy parents and stupid friends if they are smoking dope at 14 year olds....the parents are probably boozehounds or potheads themselves so kids emulate that....

unfortunately, lazy parents send their kids to so-called doctors who prescribe drugs for the ADD/ADHD....this really pisses me off because ADD and ADHD aren't real psychological issues...kids have different levels of activity...some are more active than others but it dosen't mean they need drugs to calm them down..they need to run around, surf, bike, play football and baseball, engage in physical activities like wrestling or boxing..they need to release their energies constructively...that's the school's job....and the parent's job to see it through....

America doesn't need more potheads or boozers, it needs skilled people who aren't afraid to work..or learn...

instead, we got guys like Bearman advocating for legalizing pot so kids don't end up in jail....this type of analysis indicates a problem in cognitive functioning....this so-called doctor should know the damage drugs do to the body and the ability to be a clear thinking productive member of society whose views aren't muddied by drugs... of course, that message will be lost on many, but the adults need to FUCKING GROW UP and start teaching the value of being clean...no cigarettes, no booze, no poison in the body for recreation or profit..this guy Bearman sounds like a pusher....

no kid should be in jail for smoking a joint obviously, any more than the Beaver should have gone to jail for smoking a cigar...medical pot should be sold in drugstores with all the rest of the drugs..in a controlled atmosphere...get rid of the dispensaries, amp up the drug education, and for god's sake, get some real physical education back into the school system...if you're running track you won't be sucking on weed....

now, that's a lot of shoulds for you stoners....but it's for your own good

killing me softly

I don't know why the public is making such a fuss over Kim Kardashian..isn't this the family who defended OJ for cutting his wife's head off... and killing her friend?

Simpson stayed in Kardashian's house during the days following the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman. Robert Kardashian was the man seen carrying Simpson's garment bag the day that Simpson flew back from Chicago. Prosecutors speculated that the bag may have contained Simpson's bloody clothes or the murder weapon.

OJ was found not guilty but so was Wayne Scoles!! justice is an odd thing sometimes...are you innocent....or merely not guilty??

I've watched the Kardashian show and there's Bruce Jenner, an athelete with a weird face lift so that was a draw maybe, but what does this family do except spend money and get drunk...the girls it seems always marry black athletes...is that a death wish, I wonder....what's Kim's chance of survival? I predict she'll be divorced or dead in three years...I'm sorry, but I see things....
well anyway I went into Montecito Saturday to see what I could see...first of all the highway is clogged, second of all there's a bunch of bicyclists on the road...how do these people figure to cure anything when they're all out riding their bikes in my neighborhood.... GO AWAY!!!

now I'm headed into Montecito using the back roads...I follow a truck with a SAG sign on it..could be Screen Actor's Guild.....go union!! then I see a Coast Party Rentals truck and follow it..but it turns into Birnam Wood...then I go over to see Oprah, then to Sly Stallone's cool old estate on Olive Mill/Hot Springs ...Sly lived there years ago then sold it...then further up Hot Springs to say "hey" to new renter Don Johnson....."if he'll pay it, I'll rent it" says Mrs Douglas...geez, celebrities are gathering here like locusts now, trying to be like us..but they will never be like us...

ok I keep going to where I think the party is...they said around Pepper Hill...a gorgeous area especially back before all the development....there were deer and foxes running through the foothills and lots...KACY was Boss of the Beach and those were some high times for us kids, tearing up the roads with little Honda trail 90s!! RRRRRWWWWW!!

but today, it looks cold and vacant..almost lifeless...like Brentwood..like somebody got murdered....how sad....we can't bring them back once they have gone, can we Caroline....
ok so I find the estate where Kim is getting married to a black athlete and possibly her future killer... I drive past a few times....can't see much but some guards, possibly Armenian hitmen (the Kardashians are Armenians)...there's a stone gate with black plastic sheeting on it....a black man, esp a basketball player, could jump that and get away with murder, no doubt

look!!! I see some fine Kardashian gals dressed in black heading up the driveway....sorry...the picture got blurred because I was busy with my other hand!
I saw some Range Rovers with tinted windows and lowrider Porsches....it's a gray cloudy day.....and I know someone is gonna get murdered today ....I'd sleep with one eye open, if I were you..

World's Dumbest

inebriated numbskulls....

ok I found a new show that is really funny on TRU -TV....World's Dumbest (_____)..fill in the blanks..

they got the world's dumbest robbers, hillbillies, drunks....they show little clips and get a cast of comedians/actors/ex-cons like skater Tonya Harding to provide comment..the comments are usually hysterical ....and a few of the comedians I've seen do raunchy roasts and I hope we'll see more of them....especially Chelsea Peretti who is too cute sexy and funny...

but I would suggest they spoof Peter Lance as the World's Dumbest investigative journalist...they could set it up like a guy gets busted for a DUI and then investigates the cop who busted him....then gets thrown out of the court room for being disruptive, then falls asleep at the stop light, then does a bunch of other dumb stuff, then writes the world's longest sentence....

the Police Women of Maricopa County

so Peter continues with his cries in the N-P to investigate Officer Kasi Beutel and wrote a 5 page letter to the California Attorney General pleading with her to get involved..meanwhile drunks continue to kill innocent bystanders...any DUI conviction should be an automatic loss of license and driving privileges...it's a threat to public safety to have these toads on the road....
you think Kasi Beutel hurts your feelings when she tells you to "blow harder"?? well, these police women from Maricopa County (that's right, Sheriff Joe's crew in Arizona) are ten times tougher on drunk wimps!! and that's GOOD!! and they use pink handcuffs on the drunk drivers...Peter, you'd look pretty in pink, honey!

I can only hope that Lance's trial moves to Maricopa County...how long do you think Sheriff Joe would put up with Lance's antics??

the show has shown some drunks who are so abusive to cops, verbally and physically, that it boggles the mind..so it's no surprise that a cop would file a worker's comp claim if injured..that's what worker's comp is there for....Lance is trying to say Kasi commited worker's comp fraud for an injury she suffered when a drunk resisted arrest...as a matter of fact, cops should probably have a special insurance program for the abuse they get from alcohol people....

now, Aug 24 will be the next hearing at the Court House in Santa Barbara, upstairs in SB#2....it starts at 10:30 AM..a very agreeable hour indeed!

hopefully Judge Brian Hill can cut to the chase and get this resolved before Lance writes anymore.......or Santa Barbara may make it to the World's Dumbest City episode!!

walkin' the dog...

today let's talk about dog walkers in Palm Springs...

dogs....little furry creatures that have fleas and crap everywhere and hump legs...did you know 40% of households in America have a dog according to the Humane Society of the United States..oh really...40%..that's means 60% of us don't have dogs...

The Humane Society states that 40 percent of households in the United States have at least one dog in the family and Palm Springs is at the national average and perhaps higher. The park not only serves this large local community but also provides a valuable and visible service to the great number of seasonal dog owning visitors to the city every year.

that means I'm in the majority!! and yet, the pampering continues..the lies about coyotes killing your little pets..well, it's probably the big dog down the street who killed Muffy...it's on the record, but why should facts deter you from letting your dog bite my ankle? well, I probably deserve it..

so I'm checking up on old friends and I see Travis Armstrong is still in Palm Springs and instead of working against the city gov't, writing editorial lies for a whackjob newspaper owner, he's actually helping his new city out out....Travis is helping city hall!

and the thing that binds Travis and the Mayor is a dog park!

I swear to Dog, Travis is VOLUNTEERING and working with the city of Palm Springs to help improve the park for little gay dogs to run around in...now, gayness is common in nature but it's a small percentage of the overall population..and of course that's because we need men and soft supple women to keep the species going...

according to the Desert Valley Star:
“During this time of year I encounter people on a daily basis at the park who are thrilled to have such a great place to bring their dogs during their stay here. We all know the importance of these visitors to our economy,” Cochrane said.

“The point is the Palm Springs dog park serves a very large and important constituency in the community and deserves the attention and resources necessary to become the show place it has the potential to be and promoted as such. Besides I’m getting a little tired of always hearing about how great the dog parks are in Palm Desert.”

In an outreach effort, volunteer Travis Armstrong launched a website to promote the fundraising at www.palmspringsdogs.com. The website addresses the immediate concern of laying new sod and offers a link to the City donation forms which can be printed out and mailed in. (Warning: Since the website is so new, Google and Yahoo search engines are not finding it, so type the website address directly into your browser to locate the site).

“Much of the grass in the once-green park is dead and gone. Dirt and mud have replaced the greenery. The City has not reseeded the park in three years but has been forthright in saying mistakes were made regarding repairs and improvements. Part of the problem they said was a shift in maintenance duties within the City government.”

But that’s the past. This growing group of dog park users met again on Wednesday with the Parks and Recreation Commission and the Assistant City Manager. These City officials said they are interested in putting down sod in phases rather than just reseeding because of the poor shape of the turf. This way the entire park wouldn’t have to be closed because the City would do the lay sod in stages.

Here’s the rub. The city officials also said they are in the midst of a budget process and might not have all the money needed to resod the entire park right away. Dog park users can help by donating money directly to the City through the volunteer’s website. However, people need to do it quickly before the season passes to lay the new sod.
Together the City government, businesses, valley residents and visitors can restore this unique space to its former glory to provide dogs the safe and clean open space they need and deserve. The Friends of Palm Springs Dog Park will meet again on Saturday, Feb. 19 at 10:00 a.m. at the park located behind city hall.

so...I gotta read about the 40 percenters who are so self-absorbed that they need a special park for their little bitches to run around in, while the sixty percenters do all the real work and take care of business...geez...America is getting fruitier by the minute....

but I'm happy to see Travis doing something constructive, if frivolous, for a change!

for: animal abuse and general mayhem against Nature

oh I see... so it's the end of 2011 and all the parties involved in the biggest scam to hit California will soon get their wish...removal of elk on Santa Rosa Island because they are "non-native" and according to the Nature Con and Parks Service, doing untold damage to the native species...now I've told you many times this is all bullshit....

what is untold is the amount of resources wasted on the biodiversity scam...billions down the drain and yet they keep doing this to habitats....

now I say they should keep the elk on the island and allow hunting..it's simple but the parties involved, Vail and Vickers who sold the land to the Nature Con and Parks Service are making deals with the devil....the Nature Con has ties with BP, the oil company that polluted the bayou,wiping out fishing livelihoods for generations of gumbo lovers... and Rick Perry the ignoramus religious cultist Texas governor claimed the BP oil spill was an act of God instead of corporate error...Perry wasted tax money calling for prayer days to get some rain in Texas due to the drought..the guys is nuts...and the drought continues..

the Santa Rosa Island scam was helped along by fat Nancy Crawford -Hall whose family owned land on the island and simply caved to the demands of the Nature Con and Parks Service....they all should be in jail for animal abuse with the thousands of creatures from owls to pigs killed in the name of biodiversity...it turns my stomach these people are still doing this and the Humane Society of the US and PETA stand there with their thumbs up their asses....saying nothing...

and poor fat Nancy spends her time trying to rig election outcomes in her favor accusing the winners, her opposition, of fraud..this woman, who inherited her money and owns the Santa Ynez Valley Journal is just plain stupid.....think of all the good she could have done instead she eats 50 hamburgers a day...

California murre
and now we see that the Nature Con is saying a rare seabird called the murre is nesting on the islands, having been absent for 100 years...this is a common practice to supply these timed press releases to support the Channel Islands killing..."look we killed all the pigs and cats and poisoned owls and falcons and but we are seeing native murres return!!"
what they fail to tell you is the murre is the most abundant seabird nesting on the California coast, so if they haven't seen one since 1912 as they claim, they haven't benn looking very hard! gill nets and oil spills almost wiped them out, so restorations have been going on since 1986!

poisoning the environment to save birds

and the poisoning of other islands continues.......on the Channel Islands they said the pigs attracted the golden eagles which killed the foxes; this time it's mice that attract the owls that feed on the chicks of the Ashy storm-petrel on the Farallon Isands located off the San Francisco coast.....all the evidence is anecdotal...but that's all they need to keep poisoning and scamming in the name of biodiversity....and people keep falling for it.... the nonprofit Audubon Society is leading the charge to kill the mice and owls....the Audubon Society is now on my radar...

Survival of Farallon birds hinges on eradicating islands' mouse population
By: Dan Schreiber Examiner Staff Writer 06/19/11 4:00 AM
A proposal to eradicate tens of thousands of mice from the Farallon Islands could involve dropping a payload of poison pellets, all in the name of preserving a fragile seabird population.
Initial talks of killing the non-native rodents on one of the desolate isles 27 miles off the coast of San Francisco have some environmental groups fuming, while others don’t see a better option.
Exterminating the mice — all the mice — is the subject of a draft environmental impact statement expected in the fall from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Although federal officials say nothing has been finalized on how to deal with the mouse problem, a meeting in May centered on concerns about the poisoning option.

At stake is the survival of the declining Ashy storm-petrel, because according to Audubon California, more than half the species’ remaining 7,500 members rely on the Farallones as a breeding ground. Aside from anecdotal reports of mice eating petrel eggs and chicks, they also attract hungry burrowing owls, which come for the easy rodent feast in the fall and stay for the winter with nothing to eat but the petrels.

and this...
42 tons of poison to be dumped on island to eradicate rats
In a radical move to eliminate pests and save local wildlife, pristine Lord Howe Island will be blitzed from the air with poison.
(the rats have been there since 1918!! they are not a problem..just like the Anacapa rats were not a problem)...
Although similar pest-eradication projects have occasionally been carried out on uninhabited islands before, this is the first time such a project has been contemplated in a place with a substantial human population. Lord Howe's 350 permanent residents will be given muzzles for their pets and are being told to keep an eye on their children while the bombardment occurs...

keep an eye on their children while the bombardment occurs?? what is this-WW3??

beer barrel polka

Roll out the barrel, we'll have a barrel of fun
Roll out the barrel, we've got the blues on the run
Zing boom tararrel, ring out a song of good cheer
Now's the time to roll the barrel, for the gang's all here...

Penn and Teller...I don't get it...especially that big dumbass ugly loud guy with a ponytail....

so Polly Frost is going to do a show at Oreana Winery on Thursday...I also heard more cops will be out Thusday night...there's are a special anti- DUI unit called the Trombetta Wavers that police chief Cam Sanchez hired 'specially for Thursday... don't forget to wave back at them!!

Polly is gonna try and make you laugh because she can't handle her family..I can..I killed all my family members..they're dead and buried in the back yard.....that's how you deal with uppity kin...

so anyway I went to the winery a few weeks ago to check it out and really Polly you couldn't book the Lobero? the Granada?? Santa Barbara Jr High??

I mean look at the place...it's funky and they got wine barrels instead of seats they expect me to sit on one of those while Polly races around the parking lot in a fork lift, looking for laughs?? everything gets funnier when you're drunk, is that it??

I don't know....I was going to go but then I saw a story about Miss Polly in the News-Press...the News-Press!!

geez..she prostitutes herself by getting a News-Press write-up knowing full well the labor issues with corrupt owner Wendy McCuckoo!! this has tested my faith in comedians...

ladies, if you need money that bad, try Haley Street after 9:00PM...wear something revealing cos I got cash....

if you go see Polly, don't fall off the wine barrels..and say hi to Wendy for me!

the sun also rises..

oh really? where?

well, too many cooks spoil the pudding I know that but it seems that too many stories spoil the ink, too....the never ending story by Peter Lance in the News-Press has created quite a stir among those folks who are easily stirred..do you really think the truth will be told by Wendy's sycophants??

sometime you have to go outside to get the story....sometimes the only way to get some sun is to go outside so let's go outside!

we know that according to the News-Press, the SBPD is a corrupt place where everyone is on the take...

but if we go outside we read the SUN in San Bernardino, we find the department has suffered only a few black eyes: on Aug. 5 the cops arrested Karen Flores, a civilian employee accused of embezzling more than $100,000 in parking ticket revenue over several years.
One Santa Barbara newspaper published a five-part series by a freelance reporter alleging that a police officer tasked with DUI enforcement falsified numerous DUI arrests to make extra money. In the published series, the reporter admitted that he was arrested for DUI on New Year's Day by the officer he later investigated.

City Administrator Jim Armstrong said Thursday that he and Sanchez vowed to investigate the allegations made in the story when it was printed in June. Armstrong also noted that the same reporter who was arrested for DUI that wrote the series, investigating the life of the woman who arrested him.
"It demonstrated poor journalistic ethics," he said.

so now we get some comments from a few more city folks..more than the News-Press got!!
see how that works? the more competition for the truth the better...

and we'll find Santa Barbara councilman Randy Rowse praising Chief Sanchez: Santa Barbara Councilman Randy Rowse described Sanchez, who overseas a force of 142 sworn officers, as a "chief in good standing" with the city.

Santa Barbara reportedly experienced an increase in gang violence and a spike in homicides in 2011, and Sanchez has been instrumental in fighting both, Rowse said.
But the news that Sanchez is at least thinking about leaving for San Bernardino could mean the city's efforts to quell Santa Barbara's recent violence could be disrupted, Rowse said.

the Sun is a much better disinfectant than the News-Press...now if I can just find it!!

suddenly

let's get vertical....

well I was thinking about things and one of the things I was thinking about was Olivia Newton-John...this woman has been swimming around my brain and heart for years ever since I heard her do George Harrison's version of Bob Dylan's song "If Not for You"...

she's born in England but raised in Australia so she likes eucalyptus trees, she's pretty, spooky, sexy, scary, sings good, is kinda weird in a good way....and the smile..her smile..it's got something....she could kill you or make you wanna live another hundred years, like a euculyptus tree unless some dim-brained nativist decides to cut you down...

remove music from your lives and you start killing beautiful things...but the seed of life will always fly away like this thistle seed is flying away to a new home....

anyway, Olivia keeps popping into my head every now and then...but there was one song that I've always really loved called "Suddenly"..a duet with Cliff Richard..

well thank God for YouTube because there's a little segment that just knocked me out....
these two can really handle a song and breathe life into it..why, I got chills watching them...Olivia was dazzling! and she still is....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ljQUqzbuXQ

does that make me a voyeur?? or voir dire?? Olivia..remember this..I love you..I honestly love you....

my eyes adored you

so close so close and yet so far....

first of all, Wendy's smackdown by the NLRB has nothing to do with free enterprise or it's Wendy's paper she can do whatever she wants...nothing at all....unless divorce is free enterprise need I remind you that Wendy got her wealth not from work but by divorcing from a rich ex-husband....

how to get rich quick:
Marry it
If you can't inherit it the second easiest and fastest way to acquire wealth is to marry someone who is already wealthy. And sometimes that person may even be kind, generous, compatible and loveable. And, if not, divorce can pay off handsomely. Just remember to get married (and divorced) in a state that has favorable community property laws.

and no she can't do whatever she wants ..she thinks she can but she can't..no one can....we all must abide by certain rules..that's life...the sooner you get that through your heads, the better I will like you.....

ok so I'm reading the online version of the News-Press and they got this article on voyeurism..so I check the print version...unfortunately, it was written by a fat old white guy..did you hear about the Indiana anti-gay pro God/family Christian POS Republican name-a Phillip Hinkle? he got busted trying to have sex with a teenage boy on Craigslist... ok that makes Iowa and Indiana two places I won't ever visit....too many weird white people with those perverted Christian values!

so anyway voyeurism is supposedly a sexual disorder where you get your kicks watching naked girls run around their apartments...I'm sorry, I don't see what the problem is...

so we got a bunch of people running for Santa Barbara city council and it should be very entertaining at least....we got a couple of perennial losers like Cruzito Cruz and some dude who looks like a wizard!

and you'll notice that the News-Press got all the names wrong on the photos calling Mike Self~ Michael Moriatis!! geez, who is the editor over there, Blind Lemon Jefferson?? Blind Willie McTell? Peeping Don??
