• Arnold Schwarzenegger: Pumping Dollars

  In a state which has had as governor both Pete Wilson and Gray Davis, two men who could squeeze campaign contributions out of a stone, it would take a very special politician to set a new standard for money grubbing. Arnold Schwarzenegger is a very special politician. A story from The Associated Press shows just how special he is. An exhaustive review of campaign finance records by The Associated Press reveals that Schwarzenegger is on pace to become the most prolific fundraiser in California

• Vanity Fair Shamelessly Lifts Weekly Quotes for Article About Henry Nicholas

  As Moxley noted in his column this week, the current Vanity Fair issue has a story on ex-Broadcom head and former Weekly cover boy Henry Nicholas. He notes how writer Bethany McLean gladly cites all media outlets when swiping bits from their Nicholas coverage for her story--except the Weekly. In fact, McLean stole three quotes from us without ever mentioning our name. Why, Beth? Why did you allow this, Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter? That's the type of cheap journalism the Orange County Regis

• Jessica's Law Was Unraveling Before Santa Ana Court Ruling

  A ruling by the state Fourth District Court of Appeal in Santa Ana on Wednesday may represent the largest crack to date in Jessica's Law, the voter initiative Prop. 83 of 2006 that forbade sex offenders from living within 2,000 feet of a school or a park. Stress fractures had been evident several months before justices even heard the case, however. The court determined that residency restrictions imposed by Prop. 83 amount to additional punishment for sex offenders’ original crimes, overturni

• OCBJ is Up on Henry Nicholas, Down on Angels, Cary Bren

  Orange County Business Journal has some enlightening items in this week's issue, although you have to hunt for most of them. That, of course, is not the case with "OC Insider," the weekly column by executive editor Rick Reiff, a seasoned pro who knows to start off with his most newsworthy stuff: The ankle monitor is off, he's finalizing his divorce and his first trial isn't scheduled until February. You don't expect hyperactive Henry Nicholas to sit still, do you?I'd link you to the rest if I

• Barbara Coe Continues to Believe in Discredited "Doctor"

  If I was given a penny for every time California Coalition Immigration Reform head Barbara Coe passed off lies as truths, I'd be richer than Henry T. Nicholas pre-government investigation and Don Bren pre-recession combined. Her latest gaffe proves probably better than ever why Coe's nicotine-stained brain is blacker than her heart. In the same email where Coe tells followers to avoid ethnic restaurants, she forwarded an article written by one Madeleine Cosman about how illegals are shutting dow

Sometime this month, they will hold a reception for prospective recipients. 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

• UC Irvine Discontinues Sugar Daddy Henry T. Nicholas' Rowing Teams, 3 Other Sports . . . Unless

  The Los Angeles Times' Fabulous Forum blog reports today that UC Irvine as of Saturday is "discontinuing" five sports--men's and women's swimming and diving, men's and women's rowing, and sailing--to cut costs amid reduced state funding. University brass expects to save $1 million by shuttering the programs. Funny, but indicted billionaire Henry T. Nicholas III gave $280,000 more than that just to the UCI crew team, according to Dave Wielenga's July 2004 Weekly cover story,&n
