  • Democracy in Action (plus the Minutemen and Kotex)

    This being Sunday, which most Americans regard as "The Lord's Day" (hence the great number of prayers being uttered over a couple of simple college basketball games), let us extend our best imitation of Christian pity towards the wretched, no matter how repulsive they may be. And the wretched I have in mind are pretty repulsive indeed. First, there's the Minutemen, the brainchild of Aliso Viejo's Jim Gilchrist (though brain may not be the best choice of words in this context). The Minutemen had

  • A Most Taxing Situation

    Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration P.O. Box 589 Ben Franklin Station Washington, DC 20044-0589 Dear TIGfTA: How goes the number crunching, amigo. Say, just wanted to drop you a line about something I read recently about you folks at the IRS coming down hard on the former Rector George F. Regas of All Souls Episcopal Church in Pasadena, which just so happens to be one of Southern California's largest and most liberal churches. Hey, but don't hold that against us! Ha-ha, we like

  • David Dreier: In and Out

    Kevin Naff raises an interesting observation in his New York Blade editorial "Gay Republicans in the Hot Seat": WITH THE MAINSTREAM media engaged in wall-to-wall Mark Foley scandal coverage for a solid week, attention turned awkwardly (and predictably) to the subject of gay Republicans. Who are these people? How can they work for a party that demonizes them? Is D.C. controlled by a Velvet Mafia? And, most importantly, what about "The List," a compendium of closeted Republicans that is rumored t

  • Survey Says...Not Much

    We recently heard from a reader in Santa Ana who received a copy of the "Republican Party Census Document," along with an introductory letter from the RNC stating that "your answers will represent the views and opinions of ALL Republican voters living in your voting district...Unless we hear from YOU, we will not have an accurate BLUEPRINT -- a full legislative agenda and campaign plan -- and a unified Republican Party."" Problem is, our reader is not now nor has she ever been a registered Repu

  • McCain Rhymes with "Complain"

    While John McCain was inside the Island Hotel in Newport Beach yesterday rallying funds for his general election war chest, three—count 'em, three!—separate rallies, uh, rallied outside. Let’s start with the obvious: Orange County, presidential candidate who stops short of proposing mass deportation of Mexicans—yup, you guessed it, the Minutemen were there! National rally spokesman Raymond Herrera and his grumpy gaggle of troublemakers actually seemed to hate McCain even more than the

    News item: The Federal Election Commission says Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez (D-Garden Grove) improperly used campaign money to buy new clothes, bringing to mind the flap last year when it was discovered the Republican National Committee spent more than $150,000 on designer clothing and accessories for vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin and her family.Fallout: There is but one recourse, and that is a Loretta Sanchez-Sarah Palin fashion smackdown!After the jump you will see each politic
