Who is David Duke's Favorite Orange Countian?
*Updated below . . . Why, none other than our favorite non-racist white supremacist, of course! Martin Millard has made a name for himself in extremist circles thanks to rants against the "Tan Everyman," drawn local ire due to his influence over Costa Mesa Mayor Allan Mansoor, and even garnered attention from the Southern Poverty Law Center. Millard's been on a writing tear as of late thanks to the proposed amnesty bill currently in the Senate. He's not happy with it—indeed, he calls i
May 24, 2007OC GOP Rubber Stamps Racism
OC Blog has an interesting post on Orange County Republican Central Committee endorsements for various local offices. Even more entertaining are the back-and-forth comments between Weekly pal Jubal and Tim Whitacre--with some chiming in by Art Pedroza and Karen A Finn--about internal bylaws, and motions and ex-officios and alternate members rights and . . . argghhhhh! . . . that talk got so hot we just messed our shorts. Excuse us while we change. . . . There, that's better. Anyway, we couldn'
July 21, 2006Illegal Fact-Stretching in Costa Mesa (Again)
Last summer, a white out-of-towner murdered Costa Mesa resident Israel Maciel. The killer's identity, however, wasn't known before migra Mayor Allan Mansoor told the Daily Pilot that the incident "shows we still have work to do, but it takes time to remove the welcome mat. When you have job centers, soup kitchens and a high concentration of downscale rental units, it drives the city down, and I favor a multi-faceted approach to include stronger gang enforcement and overlay-zone revitalization, a
June 18, 2007Martin Millard: Woody Allen Thespian?
The blog of David Duke-approved local racialist Martin Millard is our local Net version of the scruffy man with a shopping cart. And like those rambling, smelly men that straggle up and down Harbor Boulevard, Millard writes stuff once in a while that rises above the usual rambles about illegal aliens, soccer and the glories of Costa Mesa Mayor Allan Mansoor to really strike you as bizarre. Take his latest post, one where...um, it's something about how the Daily Pilot is Aztlanista and lawn mowin
September 3, 2007Wednesday's Headlines & Surprises: Police Seek Laguna Retard
The Fourth Reich: Way before there was “Don’t Taser me, dude!” there was Benito Acosta, arrested by Costa Mesa police after he allegedly spoke too long during a January 2006 city council meeting. Acosta opposed training local police as INS agents, a pet project of Mayor Allan Mansoor. A right-wing sheriff’s deputy when he’s not playing a right-wing city official, Mansoor turned off the public microphone, and police used physical violence to drag Acosta, a tiny fellow, from the hearing
September 26, 2007Friday's Headlines & Surprises: Who the Hell Does Benito Acosta Think He Is?
Heil, err, Mansoor! Let’s see . . . Costa Mesa Mayor Allan Mansoor let people with the Minutemen Project stand during a 2006 city council meeting to show their support for his police-immigration plan. Later, at the same public meeting, other people lead by Benito Acosta attempted to stand in the audience to show their opposition. Though he didn’t rule the first demonstration out of order, Mansoor declared, “I will not allow it,” regarding the second. That seems pretty fair. And so what
September 28, 2007Saturday's Headlines & Surprises: It worked for the Chinese?
The Final Solution: Alicia Robinson at the Daily Pilot takes over court duty in the Benito Acosta trial and finds ACLU lawyers continuing to press their point that Acosta’s arrest for speaking at a Costa Mesa city council meeting was “political.” At a 2006 public meeting, Mayor Allan Mansoor allowed members of the Minutemen Project to stand to show support for a controversial cops-immigration plan backed by Mansoor. But when it was Acosta’s turn to speak, Mansoor--an honorary member of
September 29, 2007Tuesday's Headlines & Surprises: Costa Mesa Fascists Lose!
How Did Bren Recently Gain $5 Billion? Those of us who’ve watched the county operate know that Donald Bren’s Irvine Co. gets away with murder in Orange County. Several years ago, I reported that Bren had won public recognition from the Times and Register for donating land to the public at his Newport Coast project. What they didn’t say was that the land was mostly sheer cliff around his McMansions. Far from being generous, Bren’s donation quietly shifted earthquake and fire liability fr
October 2, 2007Friday's Headlines & Surprises: Hanging with Henry Segerstom
Pair of Jacks: To build the impressive Great Park that it has promised, Larry Agran’s Irvine political machine is desperate for new sources of revenue. Congressman John Campbell (R-Nothing Down; Drive Off The Lot) wants to block Agran, a Democrat, from partnering with the Juaneno Mission Indians, who are shopping for locations to build a casino if they soon win federal recognition of their tribe. Vanja Petrovic and Vik Jolly at the Register report that Campbell, a longtime Agran nemesis, intr
October 5, 2007Friday's Headlines & Surprises: Why Did the Mayor Quote Mein Kampf at South Coast Plaza?
Look! Up in the Sky! It's SuperFascist! Costa Mesa Mayor Allan Mansoor jumped into a phone booth, ripped off his Orange County Sheriff greens and donned something that would make him, at least outwardly, a man of substance: a fine suit, tie and shiny shoes. Yep, yesterday at a ceremony to celebrate the 40th anniversary of South Coast Plaza, Mansoor stood at a podium and began reading passages from Mein Kampf. No? All right. According to Michael Miller’s version in the Daily Pilot, Mansoor dee
October 12, 2007Saturday's Headlines & Surprises: Meteor Showers Tonight!
LA vs. OC: The Southern California airport wars continue this morning in a Daily Breeze article detailing a Los Angeles official’s demand that Orange County residents pay for increasing the burden on LAX. “Share the burden or cough up the cash,” is how reporter Art Marroquin summarized the opinion of LA airport commissioner Walter Zifkin. He wants OC folks to pay extra when they use LAX. Len Kranser, part of a massive alliance that successfully prevented the construction of an internation
October 20, 2007Saturday's Headlines & Surprises: Carona Blame Game!
Your Tax Dollars Wasted: The Daily Pilot says that Costa Mesa officials admit they’ve spent at least $127,000 in public funds to prosecute Benito Acosta, an Orange Coast College student who had the audacity last year to demand the right to address the city council for the same three-minute period allotted to everyone else. Acosta wanted to criticize a policing plan suggested by Gestapo, errr, Mayor Allan Mansoor (R-Dusseldorf) when Mansoor prematurely turned off the public microphone, suspend
November 10, 2007Local Extremist Supports Ron Paul
Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul has some great ideas (anti-imperialism) and some stupid ones (deny amnesty and birthright citizenship to illegal immigrants), and it's this schizophrenic platform that has attracted sane folks (the editors of Reason magazine, Barry Manilow) and unrepentant wackjobs (neo-Nazis, Barry Manilow). Add to the latter's ranks one of Costa Mesa's blights: Mayor Allan Mansoor. The Daily Pilot reports today that Mansoor is officially endorsing Paul because he "tru
December 5, 2007Is Martin Millard Running for Costa Mesa City Council?
To the lower right of this post, you'll see a couple of Orange County blogs. It's just a smattering--indeed, we host more than our share of idiots. And few are worse than infamous Costa Mesa racialist Martin Millard. We can never tell exactly what Millard rambles about, mostly because he fancies himself a novelist and thus resorts to cheap literary tricks. Take today, when a "U. Know Who" shares "his positions for his non-campaign in which he is not running for city council." U. Know who is non
January 4, 2008Last Night: Culture Clash in AmeriCCa
Rather than offer a straightforward review of Culture Clash's Culture Clash in AmeriCCa at South Coast Repertory (anything these guys do is genius, and this show is no different), here's some notes from the Friday night premiere: *FACES IN THE CROWD: Orange County Business Journal honcho Rick Reiff, legendary slumlord George Argyros and his gracious wife, Judy, and too many coffin dodgers to count. *MOST SHAMELESS PLUG: In the very beginning, when Ric Salinas and Herbert Siguenza prepare to in
March 24, 2008OC Fundie Funder Gives Money to Wacky Reeps, Homo-Haters--And Lou Correa?!
The most influential Orange County man you've never heard of is undoubtedly Howard F. Ahmanson, Jr., heir to the Home Savings (remember that bank?) fortune. He rarely makes public appearances due to suffering from Tourette's Syndrome, but that hasn't stopped him from giving millions of dollars away to some of the craziest causes imaginable: creationism, anti-gay marriage, anti-gay clerics in the Episcopalian Church, and so many others that in its list of America's most influential evangelicals a

January 16, 2003A Different, Insider Perspective on the Recent Fullerton Gang Attack on a Church
There has been much recent media coverage about a recent attack by Fullerton's longstanding Tokers Town gang against the Rev. Willie Holmes and his storefront Majesty Christian Fellowship church in their hood. Marches, arrests, and much other hullaballoo. Having a much different perspective on the attacks, however, is Sandy Stiassni, who is involved with the OC Green Party and a local LULAC chapter, amongst others. He sent out a long email with his perspective on the attacks which he has generou

If Obama is worse than Hitler, what does that make Coe?I once had an argument of sorts with a prominent O.C. newsman who basically told me to give it a rest on the Barbara Coe beat. "She's just an old, paranoid woman who barely has a following," he said of the head of the California Coalition for Immigration Reform, and that's why he works for his outlet and I work for mine. You gentle readers need no introduction to the profound influence she's had on the modern-day Know Nothing movement.But
