• Saturday'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

• Well That's the Cox Calling the Kettle Black

  While former longtime Newport Beach Republican congressman-turned-Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Christopher Cox lashes out at his own staff for ignoring complaints that could have exposed Bernard Madoff's massive Ponzi scheme many years earlier, others wonder if Cox is not simply diverting attention away from his own incompetence.Fans of presidential history from long ago will recall the plaque on Harry S. Truman's Oval Office desk that read, "The buck stops here." Ol' Chrissie mu

• The Nixon Makeover Worked!

  Visions of champagne flowing at the Richard Nixon Library and New Image Birthplace in Yorba Linda fill my brain with news of a Gallup poll that finds Americans believe history will judge George W. Bush more harshly than Orange County's Favorite Disgraced Son.WOO-HOO! The long, arduous post-resignation Nixon makeover finally bore fruit! Gallup: Although Bush is about tied with Nixon in perceptions that history will remember him as an outstanding or above-a

• $15 2-Course Lunch at Anaheim White House For Administrative Professionals' Week

  The Anaheim White House is offering a special for Administrative Assistants' (or Professionals') Week (April 20-24). For $15, you can treat your Administrative Assistant (or Professional) for a two-course lunch (an entree and dessert), and you don't have to report it on your 10-K. Heck for $15, if you are well-to-do enough to have an Administrative Assistant (or Professional) working for you, you can probably afford to just pay it out your own pocket! Though I wouldn't let on that the meal
