Clinton in town: Former Prez Bill Clinton will be in Newport Beach today, but the press isn't invited — unless they want to donate between $300 and $4,600 to Hillary's campaign, notes the Daily Pilot. Welcome to the jungle: The Times hops on the white-supremacist-trial bandwagon. To have great sex: You need a great brain, according to one Newport Beach

• Gil, Drop the Bill

  State Senator Dick Ackerman is as conservative as they come, and must no doubt be thrilled that ICE raids in OC are now as common as sunny days. But his thinking on a proposal by Los Angeles-area State Senator Gil Cedillo to require that California schools teach kiddies about the illegal roundups of Mexican-Americans during the 1930s is spot-on. Ackerman told La Opinión (who knew he spoke Spanish?) that "Aquí hay mucha gente que piensa que cualquier asunto particular es muy importante y quiere

• Wednesday's Headlines & Surprises: An OC Blog Coward

  What did the OC billionaire do when the wife was away? Computer-chip magnate Henry T. Nicholas III won big in a 1998 public stock offering for his Broadcom Corp., and to celebrate, he built an extravagant $30 million underground “personal brothel” at his Laguna Hills estate. That's according to the latest allegations discovered by E. Scott Reckard and Kim Christensen, two Los Angeles Times reporters who dug up court documents containing the dirt. Last week, newspapers disclosed FBI interes

• Obama Gets Extra Golden's Song of Approval

  Extra Golden chime in for Dem prez candidate Barack Obama. The Kenyan-American quartet Extra Golden have cut a song big upping presidential hopeful Barack Obama. You can check out “Obama” (which will appear on Extra Golden's Hera Ma Nono Oct. 9) here. Now that the Illinois Senator has this sonic backing, his chances of winning the Democratic nomination have increased dramatically. Right? I mean, listen to this song. How can you not be moved to get behind Obama's campaign after hearing it

• Sunday's Headlines & Surprises: That Sneaky Chuck DeVore

  Doctor No: The public hospital crisis has placed nearly two dozen private hospitals in Los Angeles and Orange counties “in dire financial straits and in danger of bankruptcy or closure,” according to a depressing report in today’s Times. Reporters Daniel Costello and Susannah Rosenblatt found that the local healthcare system is so overburdened that “even a few other hospitals close or reduce costly critical-care services, it could mean longer ambulance rides to hospitals, additional del

• Sunday's Headlines & Surprises: Target Practice on the 55?

  Dana’s Idea of Sacrifice: Ex-Dana Rohrabacher aide Erik Prince and other Blackwater USA corporate officials have been dodging congressional questions about their private army’s alleged corruption, including killing innocent, unarmed Iraqi citizens. Mainstream news accounts thoroughly detail the stories. But an excellent update this morning in the Detroit Free Press quotes Rohrabacher (R-Skipped Vietnam Combat Duty) claiming that Prince has sacrificed himself financially for the nation by ow

• Santa Ana Potholes More Popular Than Bush

  The new Reuters/Zogby poll shows that 76 percent of the country would probably have George W. Bush managing a date shake shop on PCH than serving as president. Only Richard M. Nixon attracted worse approval ratings and he ordered burglaries from the White House. Pollster John Zogby, a Republican, said, “[People] are giving up on this government.” Who is laughing most? Sen. Hillary Clinton. Her approval rating jumped an impressive 11 percent to 46 percent in the last month. A slight majority

• The only endorsement that matters

  Are you a fan of Hillary but not sure she can win? A Romney follower who has questions about his Mormonism? Like Giuliani, but hate his abortion stance? Dig Obama, but worry about his pals who hate gays? It's tough to pick a presidential candidate who's just right, especially with all the pundits arguing back and forth over just who is electable and why. Chances are you're still undecided. But that need be the case no longer. Forget the TV talking heads. Forget conventional wisdom. All you ne

  Debbie Carona wants out: On Halloween day, the Weekly sat in a crowded Santa Ana courtroom and watched the odd trio of sheriff, wife and mistress twitching as they sat cuffed and in uncomfortably close quarters. Debbie Carona sat a lawyer away from her hubby and did not so much as look at him the entire time, though she seemed obsessed with the room's double doors. That chick wanted out and by George, she's working on it. Peggy Lowe at the Register reports that Mrs. Carona has asked that prosec

• FOX NEWS: Why New Mexico is so close

  Some googly-eyed, drooly-mouthed Fox News talking head just said that the reason why New Mexico is so tight between Obama and Clinton (as of 10:50 p.m.) is because parts of the state were hit with a snowstorm today, and that many of Hillary's Latino supporters couldn't claw their way out of the snowdrifts to get to their polling places...

  Los Angeles producer Daedelus' newest side project is FMB (Fire Magic Blood), featuring Shafiq Husayn (Sa-Ra) and Taz Arnold. They've just posted a brief NSFW track ("Obama," for clarity's sake) that bluntly urges you to vote for Barack Obama. Hillary Clinton beat him in yesterday's California Democratic primary, so the song's political usefulness leaves something to be desired—although it should do fine with moving people to dance. Expect more from FMB as the year progresses. They have nine
