• Tuesday's Headlines & Surprises: MTV films Newport Harbor High!

  A patriot act: To celebrate a trip home from Bagdad to Laguna Niguel, Army Cpl. Jon Warren sipped a Corona beer, smiled and bit into a tuna sandwich. Greg Hardesty of the Reg tells us that Warren spent “a frightening eventful first nine months in combat.” He's been injured in three bomb blasts and “his emotional scars are apparent.” Warren joined the army in 2004 and he says on his first day in Iraq someone tried to blow him up during a patrol. The 25-year-old is “very happy to be hom

  What you get to read this morning: SOBER-LIVING HOME DEBATE: LA Times - Balboa Peninsula's plethora of sober-living homes faces the wrath of the Newport Beach City Council as well as the Concerned Citizens of Newport Beach. One wonders whether these Citizens are related to the Cannery Village Concerned, who tried to have the Newport Brewing Company closed because (eek) it was a bar! Welcome to the peninsula, douchebags.

  Rabbits rabbits, y'all. Rabbits to the motha-effin' rabbits. Happy February. Don't forget there's 29 days in this one. RESISTANCE IS FUTILE: LA Times - Who knew it took dozens of officers and over $25,000 taxpayer dollars just to send one girl to the mental hospital? Wait, she's not a girl. No, she's more than a girl ... not yet a woman. Or was that back then, and now she's a woman? Either way, she's not that innocent. Did you know LA cops similarly abduct 20 to 25 people a day? Minus the gross

• People Noise, Casket Salesmen and The Prisoner's Dilemma at the Glass House on 02/10

  The minute I cut through the entrance curtains of the Glass House in Pomona Sunday night, it dawned on me how the setup looked more like an intimate rehearsal than an actual gig. In the darkness of the main hall, the venue's flashing strobes and swirling colored lights revealed. . .the floor, buffed and in perfect condition. Scattered clusters of fans contently kept their distance from the stage. It was a pretty rough scene. That fact alone could have brought the performances of the headlining

• Pssst! Looking to score St. Paddy's Day?

  Tired of St. Patrick’s Day just being an excuse to see how much green beer you can chug before regurgitating on yourself/buddy/some 220-pound tattooed bouncer; out the driver’s window at a red light alongside a police car; the front door/kitchen floor/girlfriend’s cat? Looking to do something constructive, something to help the less fortunate? Something that’ll give you a little exercise and fresh air, and still allow you to slurp a coupla cold ones while feeling good about yourself?

• Live Review: Oslo at Detroit Bar on 03/06

  On Thursday night, the Detroit Bar hosted LA-based Indie rockers Olso along with The Side A's and Division Day. With only a couple of weeks before they hit the dusty trial to South by South West, the band decided to make a pit stop at Detroit for the first time, and hopefully not the last. Since the launch of their brilliantly-polished second album, "The Rise and Fall of Love and Hate," this dynamic five piece has been spreading it's roots all over LA and OC collecting fan support along the wa

• OC Homewreckers Hung Out to Dry

  According to a Department of Justice press release and reported by the Register, Charles Head, a 33-year-old from La Habra and several accomplices have been charged with illegal activities purportedly using the latest mortgage scam to come through the pipeline. One can only expect more scams to surface soon in the wake of the "mortgage crisis," (otherwise known, at least by me, as the most shining contemporary example of both the greed and stupidity of the American people and the relentless

• Dick's Out

  That's right, folks. Dick Cheney is in town today to attend a high-dollar fundraiser for fellow Republican Ken Calvert. You may remember Ken from his 1993 arrest for soliciting a prostitute in Corona. Or maybe it's from his 2006 designation by the Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics as one of the "20 Most Corrupt Members of Congress" because of his use of earmarks for personal gain and his connections to lobbying firm, Copeland, Lowery, Jacquez, Denton and White, currently under federal inve

• Up In Smoke: Orange County Edition

  If you’ve stepped outside of your house today, chances are you’ve smelled the faint scent of burning. But don’t go calling the FBI on your stoner neighbors just yet. The reason behind that smell lingering in the air is wildfire, and it’s right in your back yard—in Brea, Yorba Linda and Corona, to be precise. Because we here at the Weekly aren’t exactly big on fire chasing—we’re much more into the pessimistic analysis part of news media—we’ve decided it would be fitting to c

• The OC Connection to KPFK's Anti-Semitic Show

  Type "Augustin Cebada" on YouTube to hear his take on plain ol' white folk!The Jewish Journal of Greater Los Angeles has a fascinating article in tomorrow's edition about "La Causa," a show that airs Wednesdays at 9:30 p.m. on KPFK-FM 90.7 and is hosted by a 1960s refugee who calls himself Augustin Cebada (not his real name) and allows some of the worst anti-Semitic bile to soil Southern California since La Voz de Aztlan--and more on that connection in a bit!

  The Orange County Register ran a front page story today about Deborah Perez, the Corona woman who claims her adoptive father, Guy Ward Hendrickson, a carpenter who died in 1983, was actually the Zodiac killer. In case you don't already know, Perez' colorful claim first surfaced in an April 29 press conference in San Francisco, in which she asserted to have been present for some of the actual Zodiac murders, but forgot all about them until decades later. In newspaper jargon, Perez' story is alrea

  This Wednesday, as KFI-AM 640 hosts John Kobyalt and Ken Chiampou plugged their next mega-rally--it'll be at the Knott's Berry Farm of the Inland Empire, Tom's Farm in Corona next Saturday--one of them made the observation that a conservative talk-show host had previously mocked them and their listeners as doing little more than "banging pots and pans" and so urged anyone who will attend to--yep!--bring pots and pans to bang. The two were demure for once, but the person they were railing against

Maybe some young scholar can ask this pertinent question to their elders: why does HEEF still allow disgraced, adulterous, felonious ex-sheriff Mike Carona to sully the group's name?Among the schola

• Five Great Places to Eat While Biking the Santa Ana River Trail

  Dave Lieberman​Orange County is a surprisingly bike-friendly place, and the crown jewel of north OC has to be the Santa Ana River Trail, which goes from the ocean at the Huntington Beach/Newport Beach border to Prado Dam in Corona, completely separated from cars. (It will eventually, when Riverside County gets off the dime, continue further up the river, too.) Weekdays see a lot of commuters using the trail; weekends are a blur of Lycra-clad speed racers and recreational bicyclists whose pace
