• Less than an hour until the polls close...

  ... and I'm soooooo confused. I was out of town last Thursday through Sunday, and when I returned there were 17 messages on my phone from the likes of Pete Wilson, Dick Ackerman, Hillary Clinton, someone yammering about Jessica's Law, the Nguyen running for an OC school board seat and his partner in crime David Boyd, Wendy Leece (Costa Mesa City Council), Ben Stein, Alan Mansoor (Costa Mesa CC), sheriff's lieutenant Ron Cunningham (from which sheriff's agency, Lordy knows), "Don't Call Me" Shirl

• Got HIV/AIDS? Kick Hillary Clinton

  Perhaps preoccupied by the GOP man-boy love case in the lower house, the U.S. Senate over the weekend failed to reauthorize the Ryan White CARE Act and with it about $6 million annually that helps Orange County deal with a growing HIV population and increasing number of AIDS cases, alerts the AIDS Services Foundation of Orange County. The foundation notes that federal funding patterns typically show Orange County getting less dollars as more is diverted to regions with higher HIV/AIDS rates. Ext

• DeVore Scoffs at Budget Data Suggesting Orange County Uses More, Spends Less for State Services

  Assembly Budget Committee chairwoman Noreen Evans (D-Santa Rosa) released data from the Legislative Analyst's Office (LAO) that suggests cuts under the state budget plan approved Thursday morning could hit Republican areas hardest because they use more government services, while the tax burden falls more heavily on Democratic leaning counties. Evans' analysis rubs Assemblyman Chuck DeVore (R-Irvine) the wrong way, Malcolm Maclachlan reports in Sacramento's Capitol Weekly

• Orange County Republican exposes Communist China caper!

  Chuck DeVore, the Orange County Republican state assemblyman who is determined to challenge Barbara Boxer, one of California's two Democratic U.S. senators, in the 2010 election today alleged a conspiracy between certain Democratic politicians, Hollywood stars and Chinese communist operatives. According to DeVore, a onetime aide to ex-Congressman Christopher Cox (R-Newport Beach) and the co-author of a China-related spy novel, the alliance formed for financial reasons (or worse) to block next we

• It's a Quick Read 20

  Orange County Register: Asked recently about a possible run against U.S. Sen. Barbara Boxer when his term ends in 2010, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said he'll skip that race and await amendment of the U.S. Constitution--meaning he's eying the presidency. Looking at his latest approval ratings, I guess Arnie does not plan on carrying California. . . . It's obvious Orange County needs more resources to fight wildfires, but fire agencies are instead cutting back due to

• Chuck Devore, Don Henley And The End Of Civilization...

  We're a few days late to this April Fools project from the Chuck DeVore for Senate campaign. Somehow, we're not the only ones to miss the premier, as only 591 people have seen the thing. There are really no words to help here. Just watch.Justin Hart, the campaign's director of internet strategies and new media, assured me in an email that it was him singing, not the Assemblyman. Mr DeVore did write the lyrics, though, and published them last week on Big Hollywood.The new-media department is real

• Breaking: Don Henley Rebukes Chuck DeVore!

  Square fight! Soft-rockin' Eagles founder Don Henley has asked YouTube to yank down Irvine State Assemblyman Chuck DeVore's "Boys of Summer" parody, which we posted on Friday. Now if you try to watch the vid on YouTube, you get the inexplicably hilarious message: This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by Don Henley. Don't worry, though. If you need your fix of DeVore's campaign tech-dude screeching about Barack Obama destroying America's hopes and dreams to the tune of a song

• DeVore Now Bugs Henley, Boxer AND Scrooge McDuck (Updated)

  Barbara BoxerWe vowed to be more sparing in our blog coverage of Irvine Assemblyman/2010 senatorial candidate Chuck DeVore's publicity campaign to seem like the most affably goofy nuclear-power lobbyist in the state. But it's time for an update, because DeVore's gone and made another Don Henley parody. This one jabs at Barbara Boxer, his 2010 opponent (contingent on the highly dubious assumption that DeVore will win the Republican primary)It's called "All She Wants To Do is Tax," a rip-off of H

• Great Park Thanks Barbara Boxer. In Yer Face, Chuck DeVore!

  Chuck DeVore may be a long-time Orange Countian, the member of the state Assembly whose Irvine-based district includes the future Orange County Great Park and a possible friend in a high place if he scores an upset victory next year to become the junior U.S. senator from California. But it is DeVore's likely foe, Sen. Barbara Boxer, who is reaping the thanks of the Great Park Corporation Board of Directors this week.The board is simply giddy over Boxer's sponsorship of a $470,000 appropriation t

• The New Economy Will Run On ChuckBucks

  ​If Chuck DeVore, the State Assemblyman from Irvine, wins the seat he seeks in the U.S. Senate, can he fix the financial woes of California and the country?All signs point to yes, given his campaign's latest innovation: ChuckBucks.The dollar is kind of done, don't you agree? DeVore might be on to something by inventing his own currency. Sure, right now, the value of ChuckBucks are supposedly pegged to the dollar. Buy ten ChuckBucks, and DeVore gets ten dollars -- enough to print some campaign
