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

'Biggest racist ever' back on Anaheim school board: Last week, the Anaheim Union School District appointed Harald Martin to an open board seat created by the death of Denise Mansfield-Reinking. I managed to obtain the board's top-secret qualifications checklist for Martin: Racist, check. Uneducated cop mentality, check. Nincompoop, check. Ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner! Of course, I'm kidding. Nothing was top secret. We all know about Martin's history during his previous board service.
July 22, 2007Sunday's Headlines & Surprises: Poor Ho Chi Minh
Good Ink for the Sheriff! Norberto Santana Jr. and Tony Saavedra at the Register today find that “a $2 billion effort to deport immigrants has little measurable effect on crime or illegal immigration” and that government agencies “often work at cross purposes.” To prove their point, Santana and Saavedra tell the story of career criminal Juan Gutierrez Bahena, who has been deported to Mexico six times only to return to Orange County to commit additional crimes: burglary, drugs, checking
December 16, 2007Tony Rackauckas Hunting Commies in Little Saigon?
The Weekly never passes up on an opportunity to make fun of our favorite local lawman—favorite, now that Sheriff Mike Carona's out of the picture, that is—Tony Rackauckas. So when we saw this item on the fiesty and irreverent Bolsavik blog by ex-Nguoi Viet Daily News managing editor Hao-Nhien Vu, we couldn't resist posting it here. (Actually Bolsavik got the item from both Red County and Reg staffer Martin Wisckol's blog). Apparently, Rackauckas held a meeting with the beseiged editors of
April 17, 2008Yearlong Viet Weekly Boycott Ends
Our good friend Hao-Nhien Vu, a.k.a. the Bolsavik, the ex-Nguoi Viet Daily News managing editor who lost his job thanks to anti-commie protests, has another big scoop on his blog today. Apparently, protesters who have been demonstrating outside the Historic Main Street offices of Viet Weekly for the past year have taken their miniature South Vietnamese flags, blaring martial music and desecrated Ho Chi Minh doll and gone home. I wrote about the protests last month and sort of predicted this mi

Get this thru your thick skulls: This Ho ain't related to the other oneOne of the amusing aspects of covering Little Saigon politics is watching the world class mental gymnastics performed by the mostly elderly folks determined to spend their lives fighting the Vietnam War into perpetuity. It's no exaggeration to note that they see Ho Chi Minh's spirit, dead 40 years, nefariously conspiring against them in present day news stories, art works, clothing articles and in music concerts.
