Yes, OC Weekly investigative reporter Nick Schou got his mug shot in today's Los Angeles Times. No, he wasn't participating again in a riot, peeking inside an undercover DEA 18-wheeler or even driving solo in the HOV lane.
A year or so ago, Schou thought it'd be fun to perform his normal work duties, raise an infant son, pamper his beautiful wife, teach a journalism class at UCI and write a book. Sure, he looks like a zombie most days now and is often heard mumbling to himself, but he can poin
Yep, Adam Gadahn has made another ranting tape.
Note the new glasses, the leaner face, longer beard and continued flowery rhetoric.
After that, read Nick Schou's excellent piece on Saraah Olson, who remembers Gadahn when he was nothing but a twerp.
Interesting how some things never change, eh?
For the past month, OC Weekly staffer Nick Schou (with an assist from web editor Janine Kahn) has followed protests at Viet Weekly's Garden Grove offices by Vietnamese who accuse the paper of communist sympathies. Coverage of the protests by the Los Angeles Times and Orange County Register has been non-existent or sympathetic toward the protestors--until this weekend.

Join us in congratulating our terse Norse, Nick Schou. Variety reports today that Universal is developing a film based on Nick's excellent 2006 book Kill the Messenger, which detailed the tragic career of brave journalist Gary Webb. And this isn't some rinky-dink, indie-film bullshit we're talking about: writing the screenplay is Peter Landesman, who's penning the script for a film about Deep Throat of Watergate fame.
But wait: there's more! Earlier today, Nick found out his book proposal on th

Taylor is in red polo at far right, Nixon sits at left and Meese is behind him.In his August 2006 story "Bohemian Grove Exposes Itself!" the Weekly's Nick Schou interviewed an unnamed Orange County resident and former employee of the private, all-male, 2,700-acre forest retreat in Sonoma County that was founded in 1872 and served as stomping grounds for California's richest men. This was a coup because the Bohemian Grove's primary directive was that members and empl

Here are some random comments on Twitter regarding the anti-Muslim graffiti at the Cypress mosque Nick Schou previously blogged about:
...Obama gave a powerful speech in Cairo on the US-Middle East relations & an Islamic center in OC was immedtly defaced in a hate crime...

The phone has been ringing off the hook at the Westminster home of Vang Pao, the former CIA-backed Laotian Secret Army general Nick Schou wrote about.
