• OC Preacher Casts Death Spells!

  Serena Maria Daniels should find garlic cloves to place around her neck. This morning, the Register reporter broke the news that Buena Park minister WIley Drake is looking to cast evil, lethal spells on his perceived enemies. What's got Drake pissed this time? Apparently, he's angry with two staffers at the Washington, D.C.-based Americans United for Separation of Church and State. They've allegedly exposed the colorful Orange County preacher's legally dubious plot to assist the Mike Huckabee

• Thursday's Headlines & Surprises: Hiii Chemerinsky!

  The Government has gone Plasma TV crazy: Even though they have an entire cable television channel to carry their lame communications, Santa Ana city officials are spending at least $242,000 more to install 10, 42-inch flat screen TVs at 10 public locations. These TVs will have no sound, and will broadcast city-inspired videos. City Manager David Ream told the Register's Doug Irving that videos will promote "projects we're really proud of." Ream mentioned the privately-owned City Place developme

• Sunday's Headlines & Surprises: Pipe Bomb Rocks Long Beach

  Bud Light No More, You Pick Again: My-Thuan Tran reports this morning that the “Starbucks generation” of Vietnamese Americans “couldn’t stand dingy” Little Saigon restaurants and is building “stylish and spotless . . . swank” restaurants in response. Bao Tran, 34, quit a job in insurance several years ago and opened two places I recommend to non-Vietnamese: Quan Hy and Quan Hop. Ton told the Times reporter, “We wanted a place that was clean and nice, not a place where they throw

  Cal-infernos Rage On: Residents at 248 Modjeska Canyon homes were evacuated in the middle of the night thanks to the arson fire that’s now burned a massive 15,000 acres in Orange County. Before sunrise the winds were relatively non-existent but the air was nasty with ash. Mail delivery folks were given masks to wear yesterday. Numerous roads remain closed and, according to the National Weather Service, red flag warnings continue today. Gusts of up to 65 mph are expected. OC Register and KCBS-

• 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

• Iowa Results: A Victory for Chuck Norris

  So Barack Obama and Mike Huckabee won Iowa. As of 10:30 pm Eastern time and according to CNN projections, Obama picked up 38% of the Democratic vote while Clinton and Edwards each got about 29%. Meanwhile, Huckabee apparently cleaned up with 34% (although Hugh Hewitt's biographical buddy Mitt Romney managed to come in second with 25%). Your mission, should you choose to accept it - go to cnn.com and find Mike Huckabee's victory speech, which I'm listening to live at the moment. Watch the film.

• Hugh Hewitt and His "Attempted Coup"

  Nothing is more schadenfreude than seeing a self-righteous loudmouth get schooled, and that's what's happening with Hugh Hewitt as we speak. His guy Mitt Romney lost the Iowa caucus yesterday despite spending mucho dinero. Baby Hughie will be on the radio in a bit--in the meanwhile, he's blogging like a teen girl scorned. For the sake of space, let's focus on this post. Hughie begins by claiming Iowa caucus winner Mike Huckabee's past record is "largely unexamined," a flat-out stupid statement

• When Your Candidate is Decimated, What's One to Do?

  Spin, of course! And that's exactly what Hugh Hewitt is doing. Despite his book boy Mitt Romney getting slammed tonight from the moderate wing by John McCain and by the right via the suddenly resurgent Mike Huckabee, Baby Hewie continues to insist there's hope for Mitt. All he can muster is that Rush Limbaugh and James "I Speak for Myself and Not Focus on the Family, Which is the Only Reason Why Anyone Pays Attention to Me" Dobson are against McCain, which he somehow translates as meaning Mitt

• Baby Hewie Reveals Himself as a Party Hack (Big Surpise Edition)

  Throughout his radio show yesterday, Hugh Hewitt kept emphasizing that true conservatives despised John McCain, that true conservatives must vote for Mitt Romney. He repeatedly cited the examples of Rush Limbaugh and James Dobson, who insisted they'd never vote for McCain. To stick to one's principles was honorable, Churchillian, great, and Hewitt's message was clear: everyone should do the same. So what was the title o Baby Hewie's post-primary post this morning? Seven Reasons To Support The

• Now Playing: 10,000 B.C.

  No doubt your history teacher failed to tell you of the long-lost Yagahl tribe, which apparently thrived on snowy mountainsides 6,000 years before Mike Huckabee believes the earth even existed, and consisted of one Jamaican (Mona Hammond), one Maori (Cliff Curtis), and a whole lot of white people sporting dreadlocked wigs and dirt on their faces in order to appear more ethnic. The aspiring hero of this tribe was D'Leh (Steven Strait) – pronounced “delay,” which is pretty funny considering
