Every Day Is A Winding Road

I get a little bit closer

so I hear the City of SB is planning to straighten and widen the roads around Mission Canyon to make it safer for drunk drivers to get to the wine and beer festivals up there..we're talking Mission Canyon and you better stop them...major history up there and it's just beautiful the way it is

so public TV King Ernie Salomon had Don Katich from the News-Pissed on and they gabbed about this and that..Don's big claim to investigative journalism is Peter Lance's DUI series on his own arrest...that's it...that's what Don is most proud of....Ernie asked him why the New-Piss doesn't do investigative journalism and Katich cites Peter Lance's DUI series...

and why does Katich always look like an undertaker??

but Ernie missed an opportunity to ask Don about the impending court cases against the News-Press: the wrongful termination and the wrongful death when their paper carrier ran into some jogger and killed him...will Wendy settle for $3 million like Crosby? and Ernie didn't even ask about the child porn issue at the News-Press...WTF??? I guess these idiots are more worried about the cops' pensions!

well I don't wanna rehash it more than I already have like about every other day, but Peter Lance's story was an embarrasment to investigative journalism...I mean really, investigating your own DUI arrest?? plus all the court time wasted on the pre-trial hearings...and then our old pal Judge Brian Hill tosses the case because of the search and seizure issue....like the cops didn't have a reasonable suspicion on New Year's Eve when Lance was lolligagging at a green light!!


the case presented by Darryl Genis against the cops was bogus...he claimed they routinely manipulated breathalyser tests which was totally shot down by the SB cops...

but now the Supreme Court has ruled in favor of the cops who administer breathalyzer tests

June 29 2016: Last week, the Supreme Court ruled that police officers could administer warrantless Breathalyzer tests to people suspected of driving drunk.

The case, Birchfield v. North Dakota, effectively criminalizes the refusal to submit to a Breathalyzer test and affects laws in 11 states.

The outcome will most likely lead to an increase in drunken-driving convictions across the country, according to Derek Andrews, a defense attorney at the DUI Foundation, the organization linked to the viral "silent" drunken-driving checkpoint hack.


RELATED: Behind the scenes with SupremeCourt Justices
The Fourth Amendment protects against unreasonable searches and seizures, though laws vary by state. Many lawyers openly encourage their clients to refuse a Breathalyzer because prosecutors have a harder time landing convictions with less evidence. Depending on the probable cause, refusing to take a pre-arrest Breathalyzer likely won't result in a license suspension, but in many states, like New York, refusing a post-arrest Breathalyzer could lead to automatic license suspension of varying durations.

With the Supreme Court's decision, however, there could be "an increase in the number of chemical test results," Andrews wrote in an email to Business Insider. People might be more likely to submit for fear of the certain legal repercussions. Chemical tests can be a Breathalyzer, blood draw, or even a urine sample.

To put it simply, more people submitting to Breathalyzer tests means that states and prosecutors will have greater evidence against them.

While a state should be able to ask for a warrantless Breathalyzer test, and even a blood draw, states should not be able to criminalize the refusal of the test, according to Andrews.

"It is a fundamental premise of our criminal justice system that it is the government's burden to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that someone is guilty of a crime, and it is the government's duty to collect evidence and develop a case," Andrews wrote. "It is not, however, a person's duty to give that evidence to the government."

the News-Press has been encouraging people to drink and drive becasue Nipper peddles booze, but I want to discourage people from driving drunk because I pay taxes to babysit them and I'm getting sick of it

so to the new Santa Barbara Police Chief Lori I say get that drunk driving team back up in full force...out on the streets pulling over suspected drunks..going into bars and getting the young folks to blow is not a smart program because most of the drunks on the road are in their 50s 60s and 70s..they don't care anymore!!

so get these drunk drivers the fuck off the road!!!

good job, SCOTUS!!!
　

Long Time Gone

the darkest hour is always just before the dawn

 

 

 

syphilis is making a comeback in Santa Barbara..syphilis! you know, women used to be virtuous but not anymore...they are slutty, they sleep around, they get drunk...some things never change!

but from now on any woman wants to have sex with me needs a clean bill of health from a certified doctor..or a nun

so I read the stories about the SOAP actress Jensen Buchanan who was allegedly drunk when she crashed her Mercedes into an oncoming car up by the Casino...also alleged is her BAC was .34...geez..her blood alcohol level was .34! that's almost a Jim Beam transfusion!

so the News-Press/Noozhawk had the stories and I didn't see Daryl's name anywhere..Jensen has two lawyers I've never heard of..and the poor gal has to wear ankle monitoring devices to make sure she doesn't drink..alcohol is very addictive and adults wearing ankle-alcohol monitoring devices would seem to indicate that

then I see David Crosby agreed to pay $3000000 to settle a lawsuit by the guy, the jogger who got hit by Crosby's Tesla... I was under the impression the sun was the cause of the accident but the story in EDHAT says the lawsuit says Crosby was drunk or high when he hit the jogger..really?

I don't get this one...there was no investigation?? highly unusual for cops not to do a DUI field test esp when someone is injured...so they just let him go until he was sued..what I can get from the Texas web is Crosby maybe lied to the police per the injured guy's attorney or the injured guy saw some rocknroll money in his future and just sued, kinda like extortion

David Crosby reaches settlement in accident with driver

Apffellaw

Texas fans of musician David Crosby may have heard that he hit a jogger while driving his Tesla in March 2015. Although police said that Crosby was not impaired by drugs or alcohol and did not investigate further, the injured man's attorney believed that Crosby lied to police

The lawsuit alleged that Crosby had used alcohol, prescription or nonprescription drugs or some other intoxicant that resulted in using his vehicle in a way that caused injury to the man and his son.

Injuries resulting from an auto-pedestrian accident can be devastating and life-changing. Sometimes, the insurance company does not pay a sufficient amount to cover the medical expenses and other costs incurred by the victim. However, it is often advisable to file a lawsuit against the driver responsible in such an accident even if there are no criminal charges. If criminal charges are filed and are unsuccessful, a civil suit is also possible. The difference is that in a criminal case, it is necessary for the prosecutor to establish guilt beyond a reasonable doubt while in a personal injury lawsuit of this nature, it is only necessary for the plaintiff to demonstrate by a preponderance of the evidence that the defendant was negligent.

http://www.apffellaw.com/blog/2016/06/david-crosby-reaches-settlement-in-accident-with-driver.shtml


so I still don't know what happened but it appears that Crosby was sued for negligence and settled for $3 million.....he may or may not have been on prescription drugs..I doubt he was drunk as he has a new liver from bad old habits...

the moral: live a clean life and develop good habits, like nuns..

and don't drive into the sun

The Kids Are Alright

Better leave her behind with the kids are alright, The kids are alright

is Pete Townsend a pedophile like Chris Simcox and possibly Wendy and/or Nipper? well if I thought he was I wouldn't waste time trying to get WHO tickets...but I got mine after jockeying my computer, land line and cell phone in postition..my computer was worthless, I landlined Ticketmaster and the automated chick says "tell me who you want to see" so I say "The Who" and she says "sorry, did you say 'cool' "....so I scream at her "THE WHO"!!! then she says "I think you said "moon"..so I told her to "fuck off "and hung up....I'm sorry did you say "puff off"? geez

so my cell phone was the ticket although I had to pay a $20 phone convenience fee from AXS but got to talk to a real live person...BTW, thanks Wendy for inventing cell phones

now in 2003, Townsend was arrested for paying to access a child porn site but was cleared of any wrong doing or evil doing...so what happened?? certainly Pete is a brilliant musician but I don't know him personally

Following a four-month investigation, Who guitarist Pete Townshend was cleared of charges related to child pornography on May 7, 2003, after examination of his computers equipment proved there had been no downloaded images of child porn.

Townshend had been arrested on January 13 of that year, after he used a credit card to view a child porn website as part of personal research while writing his autobiography. Townshend claimed he had been sexually abused as a child himself.

"The police have unconditionally accepted that these were my motives in looking at this site and that there was no other nefarious purpose," said Townshend in an official press statement. "I accept that I was wrong to access this site and that by doing so, I broke the law." He addressed the topic further in his 2012 autobiography, ‘Who I Am.’

"I was trying to prove that credit card companies were taking money for child porn websites," he told the Today Show in 2012. "I didn’t enter a website, I didn’t look at images. A couple of us were campaigning and we gave it up in the end because it seemed so futile."

  http://ultimateclassicrock.com/pete-townshend-cleared-child-porn-charges/


so is this a plausible explanation? the British police did a thorough investigation and cleared Pete; the police in Santa Barbara did not do a thorough investigation as to the thousands of child porn images on the News-Press computer, so it's still an open question about Wendy and Nipper

given Pete's history of communicating thru music, I think he looks at everything to come up with a conclusion or song...that's his job..and given that he's a long-time celebrity, people are gonna believe what they want to believe....

Pete Townsend didn't get to the top by not doing things..he did what he had to do regardless of what people said or thought...he's a writer after all...

and a damn fine one

Save The Life Of My Child

"Save the life of my child!" Cried the desperate mother. The woman from the supermarket Ran to call the cops


FINALLY..SOME JUSTICE!!

Chris Simcox ex-Minuteman, was found GUILTY of child molestation in Arizona...Simcox is/was friend of Minuteman cohorts child-killer Shawna Forde and racist Jim Gilchrist (get those wild Mexicans at the border!!)

Simcox and Gilchrist in titillating embrace

these three scumbags are positively pieces of shit and Gilchrist is pals with Nipper, another POS phony parasite...when Gilchrist ran for Congress in 2005 he called Simcox his "good friend": "Congressman Tancredo and my good friend, Chris Simcox, the outstanding leader of the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps, who is campaigning full time for me until Election Day, know my record of initiative, of leadership on these issues. They also know that the open borders lobby is aggressively and substantively supporting my opponent. Congressman Tom Tancredo knows that he can count on my whole-hearted support in Congress to ensure that our borders are finally secured and American sovereignty is protected once and for all," concluded Gilchrist.

from the web: Ex-border vigilante Chris Simcox's name now can be added to the list of infamous criminals to emerge from the Minuteman movement. On Wednesday, after deliberating for a day and a half, a Phoenix jury found the onetime anti-immigrant firebrand guilty on two counts of child molestation and one count of furnishing pornography to a minor.


prosecutors also put Simcox's adult daughter by another marriage on the stand. Linsey Randich, 33, testified that Simcox had molested her three times when she was between the ages of 10 and 14. The last incident occurred in 1998, when, she said, Simcox insisted on giving her a massage that ended with him touching her vagina.

but he'll be in prison so he can't harm any more kids....Wendy's Kids get some justice and Simcox will get some prison justice

and here's Nipper's letter to Simcox's pal Gilchrist during the "illegals" debacle in January 2015:

Dear Mr. Gilchrist:

http://minutemanproject.com/exclusive-response-santa-barbara-news-press-responds-to-jim-gilchrist/#comments

Thank you for your comments on your website minutemanproject.com, the supportive words and the call to action.

We believe it is our obligation as a responsible newspaper to report the news using accurate words in an honest, straightforward and unbiased manner. This does not always sit well with those who use intimidation as a way to try to silence the truth.
We are committed to standing up for the truth, something we believe to be sadly lacking in much of today’s journalism.

The protesters have threatened to return later this month if the paper does not issue a retraction — something we will never do. We will not give in to the thugs who are attempting to use political correctness as a tool of censorship and a weapon to shut down this newspaper.

We believe the protesters and the vandals who defaced the paper’s historic building want to deny us our First Amendment rights. This is in keeping with the revolutionary Che Guevara, who said, "We must do away with all newspapers. A revolution cannot be accomplished with freedom of the press."

Again, thank you for your efforts to protect free speech in our country. We appreciate you taking the time to let us know your thoughts. Your reassuring words will be shared with our news team.
Sincerely,

Arthur von Wiesenberger Co-publisher
Santa Barbara News-Press

well Nipper, the News-Press already has freedom of the press- Congress shall make no law.. but the people can protest against a newspaper that exhibits racism...the people have a right to assemble and voice their concerns as they did in De La Guerra Plaza ...that is guaranteed by the Constitution

Gilchrist, Forde, Simcox and the News-Press...thick as thieves

now Nipper, about all those child porn images on the News-Press computer

Getting In Tune

I'm gonna tune, right in on you

so Graham Nash says no more CSN or CSNY because the magic is gone...a sound argument Graham and thanks for all the music...Graham says they had a pretty good run 35-40 years as he talked about some albums...he told Stills that "Deja Vu" needed a catchy song like "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes" on the first CSN album, so Stills goes away for a few days and comes back with "Carry On"

 

yeah, that's pretty amazing...I read this in UNCUT, the British rock magazine..superb reading, great Blondie/Debby Harry stuff...Rolling Stone is pretty much worthless nowadays so UNCUT is the only mag cutting it..plus they give you a free CD and there's the coolest new Ronnie Spector song written by Keith Richards and Andrew Oldham!!
and since Nash is 74 with a new girlfriend why shouldn't he have some fun and make a clean break like the Brits did, exiting the European Union...get some independence...

the markets will be in turmoil until things settle down (gold is up) but I'm hoping the British folks will be happy because they have made me very happy over the years...

the British Invasion of the 1960s was a wonderful thing...music filled the airwaves and it's just what we needed after Kennedy was killed...the Beatles!!
then the Stones, the Kinks, Gerry and the Pacemakers, the Hollies, Herman and the Hermits, the Dave Clark Five...the British gals Cilla Black, Petula Clark, Sandie Shaw and Dusty Springfield...mix in all that with the greatest American music on the radio and you get the mutual admiration society..as a kid, the music was part of my bloodstream...today, I can't and I won't live without it

oh, and I forgot to mention the Who...I hear they're coming to the Santa Barbara Bowl on Oct 6..I have a feeling the tickets which go on sale Sunday are already gone, but I'll try to get some...

the Who was a powerhouse...My Generation, Magic Bus, Tommy...rocknroll, satire, theatre, punk, rock opera..you name it they did it..Daltry and Townsend still got it, Moon and Entwhistle checked out long ago but seeing Pete and Roger is worth it..the concert they did after 9/11... the outrageous Woodstock performance....see me FEEEEEL ME!!! Live at Leeds and Who's Next

yeah, there's nothing better than a good old fashioned rock -n-roll show...so I'm getting in tune for the Who

geez, the WHO!

I Wanna Be Free

like the bluebirds flying by me, like the waves out on the blue sea

from endangered to running amok!

 

oh, I loved the picture in the Coastal View this week with a Channel Island fox on Chuck Graham's kayak...Chuck of course was a cheerleader for the fox recovery program which resulted in killing thousands of other animals on the Channel Islands..now he's complaining that the foxes are running amok, stealing food from campers...like the monkeys in Belize!!




I hate to say I told you so and others have told you so but the foxes were not endangered in the first place and now you've taken away some good solid predators like the golden eagle and the foxes are running amok like rats! not exactly free in the wild like the island pigs and horses were..these nonprofit enviro folks suffer from group-think and can't think critically, so the little foxes outsmarted them

hahahahah..it's pretty funny until you consider the animals that got slaughtered for this folly....geez

I said before these folks should be jailed for animal abuse and certainly all the killing and now the over-population is animal abuse, but for some reason they still have their jobs..the National Parks Service and the nonprofit Nature Conservancy being the main culprits in the restorations

a serious investigation into this Channel Island mismanagement needs to be undertaken by a journalist...maybe Chuck could stop cheerleading for the NPS and Nature Conservancy long enough to investigate them....or maybe Peter Lance could do a series in the News-Press...I'd support that and it would give Pete a chance to redeem himself as an investigative journalist!

but now what are they gonna do? start killing the foxes to control the population?

I wouldn't be a bit surprised

Wildfire

she ran calling "Wildfire"

I published this post in 2016 but it was in draft state for some reason..and now that the Sherpa Fire has been deemed an "accident", I will re-post it

ACCIDENT MY ASS

so I think about the Sherpa wildfire and the 8000 acres burned...I think about the drought, the dearth of water




so the news is about the fire and the firefighters and the horses being transported to Earl Warren Showgrounds for safety.....enough reason to keep the showgrounds just as it is ...so many important uses for this great landmark..

but when the nativists plant native plants for biodiversity, they ignore Nature..they ignore fire....fire will burn controlled or wild, but it will burn...and it will burn natives..so biodiversity is a pseudo-science

the SB Land Trust recently bought 20 acres on the Carp Bluffs for a reserve which is good..but I'm concerned they will apply the same false science of native-only and start killing beneficial weeds..the SBLT has projects on the Gaviota Coast for habitat restoration from creeks to ag lands with easements....thankfully some of these restorations are small and of no consequence except to make enviro-whackos feel good...and they use kids for the volunteer work..child labor!!

from the site: The Land Trust for Santa Barbara County has protected nearly 23,000 acres of rolling hills, working ranches and farms, watersheds, oak woodlands and coastal bluffs in Santa Barbara County.

The following properties are open to the public. Click on each preserve name to learn more about visiting, hiking and school and community group opportunities. For additional images please visit our image gallery.
Arroyo Hondo Preserve, Gaviota (782 acres)

El Capitan Ranch and Horse Ranch, Gaviota (650 acres)

 

obviously, these restorations are folly

now how did the Sherpa Fire start...no one knows yet..but there is a ranch back there called Rancho La Sherpa which is owned by a group of Presbytarian churches and run by a nonprofit.. as I've stated before, most churches and nonprofits are run by people who are small-minded and chicken-brained

but La Sherpa ranch holds retreats, has cabins with fireplaces (uh-oh) and all sorts of activites for tourists..but does it have its own fire brigade?

so where did the fire start? at the coast and work its way inland..or inland and work its way to the coast? all those restorations went up in smoke

of course, Nature will restore as she sees fit

MacArthur Park

is melting in the dawn

Last night was a perfect night....the moon was full illuminating the marsh, the wind was blowing warm and the sky was full of stars and red planets, visible to the naked eye and the clothed eye...chicks with naked eyes and naked bodies...mmmmmm!

but the moon is curious....changing colors from silver to orange over the night... it called the strawberry moon, the honey moon, the Lotus moon depending on where your head's at

and yesterday my head was at the beach and girls were mooning me...Spring was never waiting for us, girl It ran one step ahead as we followed in the dance.
 

this is a good time..I look forward to the bright orange orioles, somewhat hard to find but saw one on the outskirts of town...skirts.. ladies take your skirts off...

oh and the fennel and sage...there is nothing sweeter than fennel 'cept this gal's butt maybe...my new stupid camera wouldn't focus and I was aiming for a boat but oh nice butt cheeks!

this summer I will only search for orioles and half naked women, rare moons and soft winds...I will drink the wine while it is warm and never let you catch me looking at the sun

I will have the things that I desire and my passion flow like rivers through the sky...

starting last night

Moonlight Mile

I got silence on my radio

so I'm reading "The Intelligent Woman's Guide to Socialism and Capitalism" and figure Wendy might get a kick out of it



Montecito Menace??

then I hear there's this Indian looking guy menacing chicks in Montecito...naturally he's drunk because sober folks don't menace, they shop..and there's plenty of places to shop on Coast Village Road although no shop sells anything I would buy or consider useful...years ago when I lived there, I'd stop over at the burger joint for a sourdough burger, the best thing I've ever tasted....that was before Coast Village Road became so self-conscious and trendy... and way back when we were kids we'd go into the Coral Casino with our friends and charge big lunches to our parents, then go surf...that lasted for a few weeks...man, Montecito was so much fun then the realtors, bankers and peddlers moved in..peddler being Nipper....a head full of snow

now I was provided a link to this drunken menace dude and I swear I thought Joe Walsh gave up liquor..oh that's not Joe? well, I used to deliver the News-Press to Joe up on Park Lane back in my scuffling days..you know who else lived up there? on Buena Vista... Barbra Streisand's future husband what's his name and Burl Ives..BURL IVES!! Big Daddy! "Little Bitty Tear".... the houses were just the coolest...Burl's was a huge estate and lots of greenery and Joe's was a nice little Spanish style ranch house up on the hill yet down in a little ravine

now of course the guy who was doing the menacing was not rocker Joe Walsh... I don't know who he is but I've heard he's the village idiot and he was at a place called "Whiskey and Leather" over by the Coral Casino....I looked up some info on the store and it's boutique..another fucking boutique!! so I guess you can buy some clothes and then get drunk at the bar and even get a sandwich which for me is just too many choices....when I get drunk, I want Genuine, Double Rectified, Busthead Whiskey - Aged in the keg...shopping is a separate issue

then the cops were called to babysit the drunk guy but they didn't show up..well what do you expect..you can thank socialite Peter Lance and the News-Press for sucking the mojo outta the drunk driving team

so why would they show up for a stationary drunk?

Don't You Care

can't you see, it's hurting me

now here's something  the dog people in Santa Barbara don't seem to care about...Wendy and all her friends... #69 and Gretchen...does Gretchen really wear furs and have animal trophies hanging on her walls? well when you consider that she's married to the same guy who was married to that cuckoo Carole gal, I am not surprised... Carole ran in the 1st dist supe race some years ago against Salud Carbajal, then she took off to Montana in the middle of her campaign! Montecito gals are loopy!!

in China they are having the Yulin Dog Meat Festival and you know what that means..HOT DOGS!! and remember it was a Chinaman who tortured and killed little dog Davey...so should we bar all Chinamen from entering the US?? YES....Chinese women are cool, though

I was curious as to how the Chinese go about procuring, killing, cooking then eating the mutts...apparently, they have an outdoor market where the dogs are caged sorta like a lobster tank where you pick the one you wanna eat..then they plop it into boiling water and the poor lobster turns red having been boiled to death...

but here's some info on the Chinadogs: Held every year, the Yulin Dog Meat Festival results in the slaughter of thousands of dogs, which are then served in some of the restaurants in this city in south China.

An international campaign to halt the killing keeps growing each year. Millions in Canada, the U.K. and the United States have signed petitions calling for China to end the festival, which is scheduled to start this year on June 21.

Yet it not just foreign activists who are working to stop China's dog meat trade. There are now millions of pet owners in the world's most populous country. Many are appalled by Yulin's continuing celebration of the eating of dog meat and by the uncertain manner in which the meat is obtained.

Unlike South Korea, another Asian country where dogs are consumed, China does not have any large-scale dog-breeding farms. A four-year investigation by Animals Asia, an advocacy group, found no evidence of such breeding facilities. "The vast majority of so-called "meat dogs" are in fact stolen companion animals and strays," says the group's 2015 report.http://www.animalsasia.org/us/media/news/news-archive/chinese-dog-meat-trade-uncovered.html

dog..it's what's for dinner!

so they butcher dogs like they butcher pigs and cows!!


slaughter of thousands of dogs...hmmmm..kinda like what all those folks did on the Channel Islands..the National Parks Service, the Nature Conservancy, the Center for Biological Diversity...went on an animal killing spree in the name of biodiversity...
and Wendy gave money to these oufits so I guess the mass killing of animals is ok under some circumstances, but abhorrent under others??

but where are these dog gals...#69 and Davey's Legacy and Davey's Voice and Wayne from the US Humane Society? why aren't they crying about these dog killings?? where's the outrage on EDHAT and on the front page of the News-Press?

maybe in private Nipper and Wendy and #69 think some of those dogchops are a delicacy!

Just Like A Woman

with her fog, her amphetamine and her pearls

the Sedgwick Reserve in Santa Ynez is related to Edie Sedgwick...the pretty girl from Santa Barbara who wound up a little star and Andy Warhol's pal and Bob Dylan wrote 'Just Like a Woman' about her...the family was crazy and the whole story is fascinating.. I traveled among people in that circle for awhile, but it wasn't very healthy.. I do have weakness for free-spirited yet troubled beautiful  blonde chicks... and Edie was just like stunning

also stunning is the 6000 acre ranch is a reserve: "The 6,000 acre Sedgwick Reserve has a sad history with a mostly happy ending.

In 1952, the ranch was bought by Duke "Fuzzy" Sedgwick, patriarch of a wealthy east coast family originally from Massachusetts. The family was "troubled", with one son hanging himself and the beautiful Edie Sedgwick (of the Andy Warhol fame) dying of a drug overdose at 28. On his death in 1967, Fuzzy bequeathed most of the Sedgwick Ranch to the UC Natural Reserve."


then I see this in the Tentative Rulings of SB Judges..two guys are fighting over Edie Sedgwick's legacy..one guy was married to her for a few months

"This action involves a dispute over legal ownership of the publicity rights to the name, voice, and likeness of film star Edie Sedgwick ("Sedgwick"), who died in Santa Barbara in 1972. According to the allegations, in 1970 Sedgwick granted to Court Pictures, Inc., the predecessor-in-interest to plaintiff David Weisman, "all rights, worldwide, in perpetuity . . . to utilize [Sedgwick’s] name, likeness, and biography. . . ." Starting in 2006, however, defendant Michael Post, who was married to Sedgwick for three months, started asserting a claim to Sedgwick’s name and likeness, to include licensing certain photographs of the actress. On April 22, 2015, plaintiff filed a first amended complaint ("FAC") against defendant for (1) damages for violation of rights of publicity, (2) declaratory relief, and (3) injunctive relief. Defendant answered the FAC with a general denial on June 1, 2015" ...etc

poor Edie...they just can't leave her alone..but her husband should win this one

and even though we have no Edie Sedgwick-type beauties in Carpinteria, (some of the gals here are just like mongoloid idiots!) I was thrilled to see the Carp Bluffs will add more open space...the SB Land Trust and others banded together to buy the area just to the southeast of the other Bluffs area...

really nice...flowers, ocean views, weeds, dirt roads for bikes..essential for the well-being of the populace...the area is at the junction of Highway 101, 150 and Carp Ave..it's a natural power place..you can feel the vibes, the sun

when the Lagunitas "campus" was being considered, the city of Carp and developer were gonna mess with the junction, the hook to facilitate more cars into Carp, but that didn't happen....and it never will

now this area from Carp 150 up to Ojai is the loveliest Highway I've ever seen, rivaled only by Big Sur/Carmel and a little ocean road by Scripps Ranch in La Jolla...

of course I'm concerned the Land Trust may have some fancy ideas about "restoration"....and of course of course the dog issue...I fear it may just be another dog park...it is essential that this area be left as it is because it is perfect

but as I said there may be interpretive signs, so I would suggest:
This Native Plant Cannot Survive in a Drought, But This Weed Can

well I guess it's better than a big hotel, a casino, a brewery or any other kind of prefabbed brainless entertainment metropolis next to the ocean...

I think Edie would've like it out here

My Fair Share

Justice if you're still there, I must have my fair share/ Justice is a lady, lay me down with Justice in a long white gown

ok so Santa Barbara has a new Police Chief after Cam Sanchez retired...an interim chief was hired but was of no consequence... Hell, I can't even recall his name cos I'm drunk right now

but the new Chief is a woman from the San Diego Police force... I guess she's gonna commute by police helicopter from San Diego to Santa Barbara..oh wait, maybe by boat

her name is Lori Luhnow per all the reports: Ms. Luhnow said, "I am proud and honored to become a part of the Santa Barbara Police Department and community. Santa Barbara has much to offer with a long history of being one of the safest coastal communities in America.
 

safest coastal communities in America?? well Lori it's also the drunkest coastal community in America..I was hoping Kasi Beutel (ass-kicker of drunks) would be the new chief but I guess the liquor lobby said no

but seriously Lori, they got more alcohol-soaked events in SB than you can shake swizzel stick at and now we got a Beer Circus coming to town....a Beer Circus!!

they got Wine and Beer Festivals, Tequila festivals, drunk actresses and drunk celebrity chefs bumping into innocent drivers..they got bartenders getting mowed down by drunk drivers...they got Uber drivers raping passengers; they got homeless people screaming at wealthy white people..even San Diego has more class than Santa Barbara!

so I would not exactly call Santa Barbara the safest coastal town in America..maybe the weirdest but not the safest..although the city worker benefits are awesome...WELCOME!!!

oh and one other thing... there's News-Press owner Wendy McCuckoo you're gonna have to deal with...the cops have arrested tons of her friends for drugs and alcohol and her vendetta is branded on her shriveled right tit with a capital "V"

so if your cops arrest one of Wendy's drunk pals, don't give them a pass..hold them accountable, ok? don't be afraid they're gonna run a front page series and expose your past loves, etc...anyone who writes for the News-Press is hack....Wendy's puppet...I must have my fair share
Chief Lori, would you please open up the old child porn case against the News-Press..somehow thousands of child porn images were found on a News-Press computer and Wendy refused to take responsibility..instead she blamed a former editor who crossed her, then she blamed the previous owner of the computer...

obviously Wendy and Nipper are hiding something so I'm counting on you Chief Luhnow to finally bring some justice to those kids...I call them Wendy's kids

and can you do something about Jill?? I'm worried about her..she spends way too much time at the Bird Refuge killing weeds...it's an odd obsession, but is it just?

I will have my fair share

The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore

the moon ain't gonna rise in your eyes

there have been more deaths from trains in Montecito and Summerland in the last few months than Santa Claus Lane ever... yet I don't see the County of Santa Barbara showing any concern about it..no cries about public safety or imminent disasters...no calls for single access points or bells and whistles with guard towers warning people about the appoaching trains..but I love trains and they won't hurt me

 

so why not? why is the County concerned only with Carpinteria? aren't Montecito lives just as valuable? I guess not and I was going thru Montecito recently and I can see why...having lived in a little apartment on Coast Village Road behind Pelican's Wharf in the 1980s, I can say it was a cool place to live...everyday was sunny....Friday nights I'd walk over to the Olive Mill Bistro and have a drink with John Carradine, the old western star..well not actually with him, but in close proximity...

let's cut through and go surfing!

and beautiful young women were everywhere, knocking on my door offering sexual favors...it was a paradise!! and if you want to find the heart and soul of Montecito, start at Butterfly Beach and walk your way to Fernald Point....from the Coral Casino to Humphrey Rd, Virginia Rd....the Miramar...and Fernald....as kids in the 60s we used to sneak through the beach properties on Fernald Lane to get to Shark's to surf..and today I took a look and the old access is still there!! awesome...

but lately, or nowadays it's not the same place on Coast Village Road.. the women look like fish with the big BOTOX lips...the TOX as in toxin should give them a clue..the faces are stretched to the max to iron out the wrinkles..big pine trees have been slaughtered...big white developments have arisen...it's taken ten years for Craig McCaw to replace Peabody's restaurant and he's still not finished...but making progress I see

the buildings along Coast Village Road have all assumed a monkey-shit brown color....the sun does not shine here anymore
is it any wonder people are rushing to the train tracks to kill themselves?? well, before you do, go down to Fernald Point, sneak across the property, down the hedges to the beach, and spend a few hours surfing at Shark's.....

it just may save your life

Key Largo

sailing away to Key Largo

America has no shortage of religious whackos and now we have 50 people dead, 50 injured... gunned down in a nightclub in Florida...allegedly because the killer was an Islamic nut who hated gays..the nightclub was a gay one...I used to be a cook when  I was a kid at Sambos by the highway...next door was the Pub, a gay bar..after hours the bar folks would come over to the restaurant and I'd serve them eggs, burgers, patty melts (yum) and whatever they wanted...there was no problems or issues and I even went over and had a beer at the Pub with a waitress..some of the dudes had a crush on me but it was just all fun..and funny..the thought that someone would come in and start shooting people was just unfathomable

 

how did Florida let a guy kill 50 people?? that is a question for another day but mass murders are becoming rather common...Isla Vista, Sandy Hook (RIP little ones), San Bernadino..and on and on

are guns the problem? no...crazy religious fanatics with guns are the problem..there is no reading of any religious literature that would literally tell you to kill people whether they are gay or straight or that they had an abortion...guns are tools and are meant for self-protection or hunting but never should be used to deliver a religious message....

but religion and guns are protected rights in the Constitution..the Bill of Rights..it's straight-forward...no ifs ands or buts...we have the right to keep and bear arms, but not the right to kill people for any reason....

any person born in the US is a citizen so this little shithead who killed 50 folks in Florida is a US citizen....born of  Islamic Afghan parents

but I was thinking, what is religion? there's no definition in the Constitution so I'd have to go to the law: The Supreme Court has interpreted religion to mean a sincere and meaningful belief that occupies in the life of its possessor a place parallel to the place held by God in the lives of other persons. The religion or religious concept need not include belief in the existence of God or a supreme being to be within the scope of the First Amendment.


As the case of United States v. Ballard, 322 U.S. 78, 64 S. Ct. 882, 88 L. Ed. 1148 (1944), demonstrates, the Supreme Court must look to the sincerity of a person's beliefs to help decide if those beliefs constitute a religion that deserves constitutional protection.

so, are Christianity and Islam real religions that deserve constitutional protection? I would vote  NO!! the fanatics use their religious beliefs to kill and interfere with peoples' lives because of mental issues and ignorance, not because of a good faith meaningful belief in their own lives...

religion should never be used for one group of people to dictate how other people should live, esp in America..and the Supreme Court needs to look at this..and start shredding some of these groups posing as religions...

intolerance is not a religion, it's a mental illness

Like A Rolling Stone

how does it feel...to be on your own..with no direction home...

　
I don't like animal nonprofits and you know it...there may be more animal nonprofits than there are animals!!

Wayne reacts to my question about the Channel Islands slaughter

now we all know that Wendy and Nipper are big supporters of the US Humane Society with Wayne Pacelle being the Exec Director...I went to a Wayne book signing in the upper Montecito Village around 2013  and cornered Wendy and Nipper.. I asked them about former guest News-Pess opinion writer Lanny Ebenstein's pothouse issues up in Eureka...Wendy said there's no story and she treated me like a complete unknown...

Wendy and Nipper turn their backs on me!

 

well, here's a story Wendy....you know Andy Caldwell writes for your paper the News-Press, don't you? and we know that Andy is the exec-dir of COLAB in Santa Maria..and Andy's got two radio shows, one on Wendy's AM 1290..and Andy has regular guests and one guest is Katy Grimes, a member of the Truth Squad as Andy calls her...and COLAB sponsors some of her appearances

well, Katy did a story on the US Humane Society and I copied it here...funny, I don't see this anywhere in the News-Press or discussed on Andy's radio show..

Katy blasts US Humane Society and they fire back at her.. and it's a pretty good story...from July 2014

http://watchdogwire.com/california/2014/07/25/humane-society-controversies-loom-large-despite-claims-of-virtue/

Last week I wrote about the recent revocation of the Humane Society’s charity rating by Charity Navigator. Thursday, Sacramento Humane Society lobbyist Jennifer Fearing responded.

However, Fearing did not address the primary issues in my story with the HSUS: $25.7 million of charity money in offshore investments, an IRS lawsuit against the Humane Society for inflating revenue on its tax return by writing off fundraising costs as charity, and the omitted key details from her explanation of the Ringling Bros. lawsuit which led to the charity rating revocation.

Fearing wrote:

The recent piece attacking The Humane Society of the United States (Katy Grimes, July 9) is full of inaccuracies. These invented facts come straight from the playbook of Richard Berman, a Washington-based spin doctor. Berman runs, and profits handsomely from, a shadowy web of nonprofits that are secretly funded by big corporations.

Just the facts and a few official documents

"Buried in HSUS’s latest tax return is the non-profit’s admission that it made ‘investments’ totaling $25.7 million in the ‘Central American and the Caribbean’ region, according to the 2012 IRS Form 990 for the Humane Society," I explained in my original story......

Katy Grimes is an animal lover and rescuer, vegetarian, Crunchy Conservative, a long-time political analyst, and investigative journalist.

here's another version

http://www.humanewatch.org/hsus-and-co-defendants-pay-15-75-million-in-racketeering-lawsuit/

The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) shows TV commercials of abandoned and abused cats and dogs, raising money off of the confusion that it’s a pet shelter umbrella group. (It doesn’t run a single pet shelter anywhere.) Maybe its commercials should instead show HSUS’s lawyers paying a racketeering settlement with their tails tucked between their legs.

This morning news broke that HSUS and its co-defendants, including two HSUS employees, have agreed to pay $15.75 million to settle a long-fought lawsuit filed against them under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act—a law that’s been used to go after the mob.

The suit stems from litigation that animal rights activists, including an HSUS affiliate, pursued against the owner of the Ringling Bros. circus, Feld Entertainment. In that case, activists claimed that the circus was unlawfully harming elephants in its care, and their key witness was a former Feld handler.

　
these stories are real eye-openers and I thank COLAB and Katy Grimes for exposing the United States Humane Society!!

　
(send a copy to Wendy, ok Andy?)

Don't Stop Thinking About Tomorrow

don't stop, it'll soon be here

ok so let's analyse the election results, ok? well, they don't need analyzing, just paraphrasing..

Joan..sexy!!

 

so Kamala Harris beat everyone and that's good..she's smart, strong and pretty..three things I demand in my women

Trump amd Hillary won but Ben Carson was pretty close..haha

Salud trounced everyone but Justin Fareed beat Helene and Katcho! Justin has a bright political future in Israel but first he needs to get a job..even a summer job will add some creds

as far as run-offs in November..what's the point?

Das..Santa Claus Lane as it should be!

Das beat Jennifer but Jenny's showing was respectable...but I tell ya, it was CUCKOO using Lucy as campaign manager who lost again and offered up only more excuses...had Jenny called me, I would have put her in the winner's circle...but Das, don't fuck with Santa Claus Lane man or there will be trouble.. and I mean T-R-O-U-B-L-E!!
 
I was happy to see Joan Hartman beat Bruce Porter et al...Joan is pretty and Bruce is gray and dead-looking...really Joanie, I habba little crush on you! you got a purty mouth! classy dame

Peter Adam won..no surprise there or up there in God's Country....bodacious cowboys, such as the Mexican who ran against Pete, will never be welcomed here

Monique Limon beat whoever and she's a pretty Latina with long shiny black hair so that's really all that matters

the News-Press endorsements were spot-off as usual...why did they even endorse Peter Adam way up in Santa Maria??
 

 

so I watched Nipper interview the weird blonde Montecito twins in the shiny wood paneled AM-1290 studios..that's where Dennis Miller does his bit on Bill O'Reilly's show...

while it has nothing to do with the elections, I thought it may highlight the California community property and  divorce laws..they need to be changed so people like Wendy, who won a big divorce settlement, can't give money to people like Nipper...

who serve no useful purpose to people like me

Sailing

all caught up in the reverie...

puppet masters, like drunken sailors,  control many of these candidates and the News-Press is a perfect example...Andy Caldwell is a puppet for Wendy and he gives us his endorsements which are the exact same as Wendy's..and Andy is still a guest opinion writer..but at heart he is a Christian preacher..one who pits gov't against God...crazy stuff...social conservatives will be in your bedrooms 24/7 making sure you don't do anything that offends them....oh boy, they shoulda seen me last night!!

and they keep trying to blame Das for everything from pedophile teachers to union mobs...

but that's like trying to blame Christian Andy for this mess: Timothy Cardinal Dolan heads the state's Catholic Conference, which in recent years hired major lobby firms to block legislation designed to help child abuse victims seek justice.

(James Keivom/New York Daily News)

NEW YORK DAILY NEWS ALBANY BUREAU CHIEF Monday, May 30, 2016, 9:16 PM

ALBANY — Not leaving it to divine chance, the state Catholic Conference has turned in recent years to some of Albany’s most well-connected and influential lobby firms to help block a bill that would make it easier for child sex abuse victims to seek justice.

The Catholic Conference, headed by Timothy Cardinal Dolan, has used Wilson Elser Moskowitz Edelman & Dicker, Patricia Lynch & Associates, Hank Sheinkopf, and Mark Behan Communications to lobby against the Child Victims Act as well as for or against other measures.....

look, if you call yourself a Christian, you could kill your whole family because they're not going to church enough.. like devout bibel-reader John List did..to some Christians, kids are good for either molesting or killing..less abortions, more kids..think about it

 

 

ok...so I see that the Santa Barbara Chamber of Commerce, not the Chamber of Horrors, has endorsed Das Williams for 1st District supervisor over Jennifer Christensen....this has caused fits among the north county interests for some reason..Andy Caldwell from COLAB/News-Press almost burst a blood vessel in the brain as Das is a longtime nemesis of the News-Press...DAS is a labor guy,a union guy

and here's my take on Jennifer Christensen: I was gonna vote for her for 1st Dist Supe but am having 2nd thoughts..her campaign is being run by slutty Lucy so say the Montecito Journal! Lucy lost to commie/ PODER gal Cathy Murillo by a landslide and that was Lucy's 2nd loss for SB City Council...so why would Jen choose Lucy to run her campaign....all they talk about is reducing benefits for gov't workers which is a losing proposition because they don't mention the supervisors get over $80000/year and their assistants make about $70000/year for doing nothing!! it's crazy..and I've heard some gals who look alot like Jen and Lucy are hooking outside the News-Press offices after hours..(PS, they like black guys!!)

also, Jennifer has been in county finance for over ten years, receives benefits/pension, so why are county finances in such disarray according to COLAB types? it just doesn't make sense

now over at the Independent, Nick Welsh uncovered some pretty shady unorthodox, or is that unethical Jews supporting momma's boy Justin Fareed for Congress..yo Justin..yo...

today, the economy is good, the stock market has more than doubled since Bush tried to kill it, the real estate market is booming, Obama killed Osama...Obama is not a perfect president but after eight years, we are way better off with Obama than Mitt or John McCain..McCain chose Sarah Palin as his VP!!

Trump talks big but his Trump University was a scam and his wife is Russianinski...who will he choose as his VP?? Sarah Palin?? geez

remember this: liberals want to abuse your money; conservatives want to abuse your kids

and independents want to abuse themselves

Wishin' & Hopin'

and plannin' and dreamin'

well I got my Dusty Springfield collection..a big cool book and 4 cds covering her career as the best singer ever...and this great pic of Dusty holding a big Gibson 12- string with the Shadows behind her...GOD!! awesome...I love her!

but I had to go into Santa Barbara for some stuff and it was sunny..on the way back to Carp it was raining in Montecito and cold and foggy in Summerland...there was a traffic jam due to some roadwork on Lillie, then it dawned on me there's just too many people here...the politicians and candidates are worried and wishin' and hopin'  about widening Highway 101 yet we're running out of water! it's just crazy... the highway issue is not that important..the traffic moves just fine 99% of the time..sometimes it slows down and it will always slow down if there's too many people moving in the same direction at the same time...ever been to LA? driven on an LA freeway? ever been stuck on a six lane LA freeway??

no water, no development..BUILDING MORATORIUM NOW!!

 

 

 now I got a funny flyer in the mail about Helene and Bernie being 60s liberals and you should vote Republican...Helene and Bernie were dressed up like Je ne sais quoi...good one! but as I recall Nixon was the president who ushered in the 1970s from 1969 to 1974...I didn't think he was a bad president, just a little reckless

then on the front of the News-Press was a story about an illegal..now this illegal I have no problem calling an illegal because he is an illegal.. a total Zika and a stupid one who should be deported

the issue I had with the News-Press was calling people at the DMV illegals simply because they were looked a certain way..that's racism and the News-Press can't hide..they are racists..and Nipper's correspondence with Minuteman Jim Gilchrist proves it..

and another Mintueman Chris Simcox is on trial in Arizona for child/abuse molestation....total perv! I think Wendy and Nipper can relate to that being they had thousands of child porn images on a News-Press computer... THOUSANDS!! (still waiting for Justice) the Simcox trial has been delayed for about a year-goddman lawyers and judges-but it fianlly got underway...

http://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/news/8-year-old-victim-testifies-in-molestation-trial-of-ex-minuteman-chris-simcox-8308190

Simcox wanted to act as his own lawyer and question the kids he is accused of molesting..then he backed out allowing another lawyer to help him defend himself...but we got Gilchrist, Simcox and that fat white bitch  Shawna Forde who murdered the little Brisenia Flores girl

 

racists, killers and child molestors..and friends of the News-Press

 

 

are you a friend of the News-Press, too?
