deck the halls

I get up and it's cold....where am I ..Montana? brrrrrr...

so my mission today is to Christmas shop or parachute...so I go into Santa Barbara and what nobody uses their turn signals anymore...now that's pretty apathetic..is that it..you just don't care anymore??????

geez I have to read minds...see if you don't signal then I have to wait to decide what you're gonna do...and that's not good...if you signal, it's a gesture that we're on the same page and I can continue without damaging your car......it's like sex...if the proper signals are flashed, the game is on and the dance begins..the bumping is choreographed for a benefit...usually mine
....otherwise I'll just sit and stare at you while you cry...so flash me next time and use your blinkers....

now would I fly with a drunk pilot..maybe..an Aussie couple was arrested after joining the mile high club..they were found in the bathroom which is a no no..only one person allowed at a time... but I'm sure they didn't care if the pilot was high too...sometimes you have to make exceptions...
and in an ironic twist, FAA chief Randy Babbitt takes a leave of absence for..guess what: drunk driving!!

WASHINGTON — FAA Administrator Randy Babbitt was placed on a leave of absence Monday and U.S. officials said his employment is under review following his arrest for drunken driving in suburban Northern Virginia.
Babbitt, 65, was charged with driving while intoxicated after a patrol officer spotted him driving on the wrong side of the street and pulled him over about 10:30 p.m. Saturday in Fairfax City, Va., police in the Washington, D.C., suburb.... hey Randy, in Santa Barbara that's considered a constitutional right....driving drunk on the wrong side of the road!! see Wendy McCuckoo for employment opportunities

gee I'm sorry I missed this Joe and Ted... a tour through the cocktail bars in town..mostly lower State St where all the drunks hang out and suck up the police money......Monday, Dec. 5, where we will celebrate the end of Prohibition on this same date in 1933. Join Ted Mills and Joe Andrieu for a self-guided tour to five downtown bars, and sample five vintage cocktails....you get a prize for something....whoppie what fun these old dumbass frat boys are....I hope Officer Tudor was working that night!!

and Prohibition wasn't a total failure...there are many legal limits placed on alcohol intake...unfortunatley, alcohol abuse costs billions each year....and Denutzio is a perfect example...America was pretty depraved in the 1920s and 1930s...the end of Prohibition is nothing to celebrate..unless you're a rummy!

hey Darryl says crybaby DeNunzio had a front license plate after all! wow! and by slowing down the video, the cops "went all Hollywood"...then he called the cops liars on KEYT..Darryl, you got some issues in your upside down world, pal....

Deck the Halls...

don we now our gay apparel..well it seems that a music teacher in the Michigan Cherry Knoll school district didn't think kids should sing "gay" apparel because it's bigot Michele Bachman country... what? Michele is from Minnesota..oh...anyway, they removed the word "gay" from the Christmas chestnut "Deck the Halls"....this is beyond anything rational...

A Michigan music teacher's decision to censor the word "gay" from a traditional Christmas carol is being met with a frosty response.
The teacher, who has not yet been named in any of the published reports, allegedly removed "gay" from "Deck The Halls" after 1st and 2nd grade students kept giggling during preparations for a Christmas concert at Cherry Knoll Elementary School in Traverse City. Instead of the traditional lyric, the students were taught to sing "don we now our bright apparel," according to UpNorthLive.com.
teeheehee.....

in cars

here in my car, I feel safest of all....but would you get into my car if I had been drinking??

now when I was speaking with DUI attorney Darryl Genis outside the police station he mentioned something that I've heard before..on the Mr. Wimpy show..he said that while he was for getting heavily impaired drivers off the road he was less concerned about people who've had a few drinks drinving...he indicated that drivers using cell phones, moms attending to kids while driving are just as dangerous as DUI....Mr. Wimpy said the same thing while interviewing Lance and also said driving with 0.2 BAC is perfectly ok....

next we have the Sunday guestatorial by Terry Tyler about the Bill of Rights and stopping motorists..the Constitution and the Bible are the two most misinterpreted writings ever published..people use them to make excuses for their own failings and prejudices....if God says it's ok to hate gays, then I can!! just pure silliness but there's lots of money that goes to these churches...and that's how you chip away at the deficits..TAX THESE CHURCHES, CHARITES, and NON-PROFITS!!

now, the News-Press as usuual is on the wrong side of the road...Terry repeats the excuse that talking on cell phones while driving is just as dangerous as DUI...this argument is nonsense..booze is a drug that impairs judgement..cell phones and children aren't drugs..if a bee flies in your face while you're driving, that's dangerous too..should we kill all bees? this is how low the News-Press has sunk: defending drunk drivers....

Tyler says there was no probable cause to pull over DeNunzio...that everyone in SB runs stops signs and makes unsafe lane changes!! well the cops can't be everywhere and Terry is just shilling for Nipper and Wendy who are pro-booze and drugs....just look at their kids!!

DeNunzio is an adult who had no front license plate, was driving erratically, was DUI, had a suspended license for a previous DUI...if that's not probable cause, then I don't know what is....
driving is a privilege not a right....if you don't have the personal responsibility to operate a vehicle sober, then we pay the cops to get you off the road....and if I see you driving erratically, I'll call 911 and try to get a cop to you in time to bust your ass, motherfucker!

here's some probable cause
The officer on patrol has observed erratic, suspicious driving, or a series of traffic infractions indicating the possibility that the driver may be impaired. This is by far the most common reason for stopping a suspect...

symptoms of DUI

Appearing to be drunk
Straddling center or lane marker
Weaving
Swerving
Turning abruptly or illegally

now a funny thing happened while I was out driving in the footlhills and of course I didn't have my trusty camera with me...

a red car in front of me was driving erratically...hitting the brakes, swerving and driving like a maniac..slow and fast....I couldn't believe it and kept raising my hands at the driver...
it was a girl driving and an old guy in the passenger seat wearing sombrero.. I followed them for two miles along 192 and two miles back to my place because they were in front of me the whole time....and I had to hit my brakes when she kept flaking out!! I swear she'd go from 40mph down to about 10 mph on state highway!!! then she'd speed up again...

I needed a dash cam and I think I'll get one..but anyway I saw a cop going the other direction and waved at him from my car...I pulled into my place and he turned around and followed.. I told him about the driver who had just pulled into Kim's Market....so the cop waited until the red car left Kim's and then pulled him over.... I went out before that and saw the car exit..this time the old guy was driving and the teen who looked about 13 was in the passenger seat..so what happened was the teen was driving while I followed, and the guy drove afterwards when they saw the cop....I went out later and they were gone..the cop and the red car....
I guess the old dude was letting his unlicensed daughter or granddaughter drive in the foothills which is pretty stupid since she doesn't know how....

what does this prove..that the cop had probable cause (my citizen complaint) to pull over the car and check it out....sure because I'm a credible witness...but since the old guy was driving when they left Kim's Market, the cop let them go...

now, if I were a cop driving on Foothill Rd, I would've have pulled them over because I had what? probable cause...and the love of Jesus in my pretty green eyes....but since I'm not a cop, all I can do is keep an eye out for stupid drivers...and I will...

and to all you dudes wearing sombreros letting 13 year old girls drive your red Ford Pintos....no bueno amigos!!!

and what's up with this??
01/17/2012 - 8:30 am 1366485 Peter A Lance Trial Confirmation Brian E Hill SB2
Peter Lance trial confirmation?? I thought the case got dismissed...hmmmmm..maybe it was put on the calendar under the assumption that no judge in his right mind would dismiss the case on such a flimsy excuse as "no probable cause"!!

welcome to my world

won't you come on in...

now I happen to think that Chief Cam Sanchez made a brilliant tactical move when he held a press conference at police headquarters..the first thing you notice when you walk in is a nice picture of Officer Kasi Beutel on the wall..this sends a subliminal message to civilians that the SBPD takes DUI enforcement seriously...secondly, Sanchez was wearing an electro-blue red tie in sharp contrast the Darryl Genis, who was wearing an undertaker-gray tie..and who wears bright yellowy ties in court to highlight the yellow lice-ridden journalism at the News-Press...

at the end of the press conference, Cam had the press eating out of his hand like baby kangaroos!

that was a good move and while I've been a critic of Cam, he seems to be acting like a chief again...more out front stuff and media communication will help reduce the hysteria from media outlets like the News-Press and Noozhawk..and believe me, the folks who work for government have free speech rights, too..so talk it up folks!!

some folks in Santa Barbara think that DUI is a constitutional right...it isn't..and I'll explore that later, unless something happens....

All Along the Watchtower...

you see, while I attend these court house events and hearings, I 've been surveying the grounds...I feel that soon we may have a situation on our hands and I want to be prepared....we've had the Tea Party, the Occupy folks and next we may have the "Occupy the Bottle" people out in force...hurling all over the sidewalks, stumbling down State Street, peeing in the planters....anyone who smokes and drinks alot simply has unattended oral fixations...guys, you may be gay...girls you may drink and smoke because of some swinging dick that got away....well whatever the issue, you're a bunch of sick puppies...

but in the event of war between the likes of them and me, I want to be positioned at an advantage and I found a good place..the court house is set up like a fortress and soldiers of good fortune like me can be stationed around the perimeter and upstairs to hold off any attack of the booze suckers..

that's my place right up there, in the watchtower....plus I'll have a few kegs out front to keep them busy while I line up my musket sights on their stupid little heads...and ....then....

two riders were approaching, the wind began to howl.......

can I get a witness...

let's see the Harry's Cafe receipts of John and Ellen yuppiemuppie to see what they were drinking that fateful night

there's a few more reporters that slipped in...the gals from Noozhawk and a pic of Monica from KSBY with the flowing hair carrying her cameras...I tell you what Monica, next time you're in SB, I'll carry your cameras and you get me in the press conference..call me babe!

ok so now that the dash cam has come out, it confirms what I've said all along...that Officer Tudor was doing his job, and Tony "the Dunce" DeNunzio is a drunken fool..Tony got pushed around because he kept resisting....duh...just watch the erratic driving..he even goes thru a stop sign! then finally turns into Gelson's and gets out of his car...the dude was out of it and poor Daryll is still trying to blame the cops...well that's his job! and notice the palm strikes administered by Tudor..

some of the "witnesses" said he was pummeling Denunzio! and according to the Chief, one witness even recanted her original testimony after seeing the video....so how much weight can you give a witness??

were the yuppiemuppie couple lying when they said in Noozhawk they saw Tudor beating the Dunce??

will they be charged with interfering with a police stop? and what about the receipts from the restaurants..the Boat House for the Dunce and Harry's for the yuppies. John and Ellen..let's see how much they had to drink that fateful night in October....

WITNESS: well I thought I saw something that night but now that I see it I guess.. I really didn't see it..maybe all those Harry's martinis blurred my vision....

and look at that still picture! Tony can barely stand up..he looks like a monster compared to the two cops..he looks wasted!! didn't need a camera to tell me all this...when you deal with drunks and their enablers, you deal with punks..when will these fucks ever learn?? no..DUIs will occur as long as people crave alcohol....and that's money in the bank for guys like Genis...

now I wonder if Darryl will represent a lady who got busted for DUI in Orange County...her name sounded familiar..the local plumbing business, the Wine charities she chaired/held in the name of Guide Dogs for the Blind a few years ago....not sure if it's the same lady but she's on my radar...

who will be your witness, come your judgement day??

low spark...

of high heeled boys

ok so I decide to go into Santa Barbara to check out the Chief's press conference....I get to the police station and sit down outside on the tile thingie that holds in the flower bed...then I go inside and ask where the press conference is going to be held..the gal at the front desk says downstairs..I ask her how do I get there..she says I need a press pass..I tell her I'm a blogger and she laughs and sneers at me...so I walk away..I guess that's why they call it press conference....I'll get a press pass somehow for future events...I mean how hard can it be if Scott's got one!!

so I go back outside and sit down again, same place

I see Monica Quintero from KSBY crossing the street, carrying her own gear...she flashes a smile at me...shit, I shoulda gone in with her!!
then the chick from KEYT arrived with a driver in a little white car....Beth looks better in person than on TV...

but since I can't go in, I figure there's nothing for me here so I head for my truck and then Darryl Genis walks by.."Good Morning" he says to me..."Nice tie" to him I say..it was toned down from past court apppearances..a greyish hue..

so I go back towards the police station and sit down thinking I'll see some other famous folks....then Darryl comes walking out of said police station and says they won't let him into the press conference either! hey we have something in common today, me and Darryl...we're both unwanted step children without press credentials!!

so he stops and talks awhile and we discuss drunk drivers...I figure he knows who I am so I ask him to smile for a picture because you guys need to improve your images! then he says he was wearing the low key tie just for me...but then I look down and noticed his shoes were on backwards!! what a joker this guy is!!

so we go back and forth....I say keep the drunks off the road he says he agrees but one beer does not a drunk make...then I say one beer can impair your judgement and he says no..then I point to the black Escalade behind us and say only a fool would get behind the wheel after drinking..then I ask why he's defending DeNunzio and got some legaleze explanation..I said we wouldn't be here if Tony made better choices..and he just kinda smiled...I suppose he's just doing his job and out of the court room was a nice enough guy....reminded me of Larry Mundello.....

then I see Scott from the News-Press limp up, stop in front of the police station and stare at us....Darryl ignores him...then Scott, who looks upset, raises his voice: Darryl, can I talk to you?
Darryl says, "yeah, I'll be there in awhile" and we continued to jaw a bit and shook hands afterward...

then Scott looked hurt like he was jealous that Darryl preferred to talk to me instead of him..he started turning red in the face and I looked down again and noticed Scott was wearing high heels!!
then he starts crying and Darryl says he better go and walks over to Scott..then Scott pouts a little and grabs Darryl's hand and does an interview on tape with him....

so I just laughed at the wind and left to wash my truck by the beach....
I love Santa Barbara in the morning!!

the wind cries Mary

it's windy and a warm....after the goldrush weather..so the music is on and it's loud...top of the pops!! power lines are down in back, the Camper Park sign toppled...

and the wind...screams....Mary


well Jimi Hendrix was voted best guitarist of all time by Rolling Stone which I haven't read for eons....I don't dispute it but it's not that simple...I will say that Jimi had the best solo on "All Along the Watchtower" with the wah wah in the middle framed by Dave Mason's awesome acoustic..and "Voodoo Child" will surely blow your mind....but the best player is hard to say: you got George "I don't need no wah wah" Harrison and Keith..the two best at precision and beauty.....and all those hits!!

then the Yardbirds guys: Clapton, Beck and Page...all brilliant, esp Page...and the southern boys with Duane Allman and Steve Cropper
then you got guys I never even heard of...and some chicks too...so it's hard to say who was best...I'm just glad they recorded all that music when I was growing up....I'm listening to "All Along the Watchtower" right now and yeah, that was the best guitar solo I've ever heard..he's got rock, country, and a whole lotta soul in those strings...wow..still stunning!! TURN IT UP!!!

after all the jacks are in their boxes, and the clowns have all gone to bed...
now, that fat talentless boob from the News-Press Scott Steeplton said Denunzio was beat from head to toe..how does he know?? did Scott examine Tony's toes? is there something going on that we don't know about....is Scott the bear and Tony the bottom?? oh, the ungodly and disturbing image that evokes...actually Tony got some scratches on him and a busted nose....nothing to whimper about

speaking of bottoms...you think the cops in SB are violent, terrorizing all those rum-wussies like Lance and DeNutzio..well what about the dog in Utah who shot his owner... it seems the guy was bird hunting and left his gun on the ground, so the dog walked over and shot the guy in the ass!

I think dogs are starting to get hip to all the propaganda perpetrated by humans..and it's payback time, man....as a matter of fact, I think every DUI officer should have a trained German Shepard to help with DUI takedowns ...has a police dog ever been accused of police brutality..of course not and yuppiemupppies like dogs..so it's a win win win Rin Tin Tin

supposedly, Chief Ham Sanwich will hold a press conference this morn to show the DeNunzio video.. I'll have to rely on the lamestream media like Noozhawk and the News-Press to cover it for me...I got some geetars that need re-stringing as the wind...whispers..Mary....

sign sign everywhere a sign..
the last thing I need is more signs..more "interpretive signs"....but I hear that a bunch of Tsunami signs are going up along the coast..the only reason they are doing this is so FEMA can redo the flood zones and raise insurance rates....

if they try that in Carp, I guarantee they will be wearing those signs where the sun don't shine!

three time loser

caught it up in Monterey...shook it off in East Virginia

hey remember Gary Collins? the famous drunk actor/Miss America host from Montecito who got busted in 2009... and in Mississippi for the same thing....

Formerly famous talk show host Gary Collins has been arrested on suspicion of DUI. And it ain't the first time. TMZ reports that Collins was busted on suspicion of DUI at the relatively early hour of 9:16 p.m. last night. The CHP stopped him just south of Montecito. An early Super Bowl pre-party, perhaps? Collins reportedly refused a field sobriety test but was subsequently given a blood alcohol test. The former host of "Hour Magazine" and "The Home Show" was escorted to the Santa Barbara County Jail, where he was subsequently booked, then released. And probably embarrassed. TMZ says Collins pled no contest to DUI about a year ago in an accident that caused the death of the other driver.
Collins wasn't prosecuted for manslaughter because the other driver was found to have caused the crash by making an illegal left. But Collins was admittedly drunk. And he is still on four-year probation.
This means that if he was caught driving drunk again, he'll probably have to serve some jailhouse rock time.

hey, how about I put three-peat Tony DeNutzio on trial in the media...I'll be the Judge: "Mr. Genis go home and change your tie!" "Mr DeNutzio, you CAN NOT drink alcohol in the court room..put that Bud away!!" geez do all these DUI guys have some NASCAR blood in them? the descendents of hillbillies and moonshiners??

so we know that Tone was busted by a Santa Barbara police officer and then the scuffle in the Gelson's parking lot created a stir among stoners and rightwingers....some people were watching the evening's events after exiting from Harry's Plaza Cafe...now, Joe's Cafe says it has the stiffest drinks in town, but what about Harry's drinks..I hear they are strong...like mixing vodka and sugar together will make your head explode ... you might as well drink Drano for a buzz!
...so anyway the rightwing media forgot to interview all the witnesses and twisted the story in favor of the NASCAR hillbillies....

but Tony's got some issues..the domestic violence issue, the probation issue, the driving on a suspended license issue, the DUI issue..and yet he pleads "not guilty"....so we are to presume he's innocent? well, I presumed that he was innocent before I read all the accounts in the media, so now I think he's guilty...

so the DA will file DUI charges against DeNunzio but they should also get the yuppie couple forinterfering with an officer performing his duties....sometimes the officers have to use force...

Tudor, the officer involved, was not charged, should not be charged, will not be charged and I'm sure will continue to patrol... do his job....and show up in court when Tony wastes tax dollars with his hearings.....

his pitiful little hearings about his useless pitiful little life...looking at jail time...but where we gonna put him??
