• Foothill-South: "The Wrong Direction To Take"

  Don't worry about the Transportation Corridor Agencies getting their lawsuits moved to federal court. Federal regulations may be less stringent than any state restrictions, but it's not all bad news. Today the State Assembly Budget Subcommittee No. 5 met to discuss, among other matters, a staff resolution suggesting they oppose the Foothill-South toll road. After hearing arguments from both sides, Chairman Pedro Nava (D-Santa Barbara) made himself my all time American Idol. "It just seems to be

• FOO Fighter

  We're re-posting this Oct. 10, 2005, post because: a) A reader wondered why the Weekly had never connected slime-ball GOP lobbyist Jack Abramoff to our smurfin' Congressman Dana Rohrabacher (R-Huntington Beach). As the post shows, Clockwork had (and Moxley will mention it in Thursday's edition). 2) For reasons only the gremlins of cyberspace know, the item, "FOO Fighter," never got transferred over from our old database to our--cough, cough, cough--new improved database. thirdly) You'll need w

• Orange County hates Ronald Reagan

  What else is this battered old Spiro Agnew watch to conclude after the news that Murrieta Valley Unified School District is poised to open California's very first Ronald Reagan High School in 2009. Well, "poised to open" is actually conflating things a bit (just like a certain deceased president's teary-eyed suck-ups do when discussing the certain deceased president's "legacy"). What's up is the district solicited names for the new campus from the community, and with a strong push from Freedom

• 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

• Rohrabacher: Why aren't we causing a revolution in China?

  Last night in a C-SPAN televised speech, Dana Rohrabacher called Chinese government officials “gangsters,” slammed both Bush presidential administrations for failing to challenge China’s human rights abuses and complained that the U.S. Government isn’t working to spur a democratic revolution in that nation on the eve of the next Olympic games. Oh, and the OC-Long Beach Republican congressman also told us that Ronald Reagan wouldn’t have been a coward to stand up to the Chinese Commun

• Romney:Reagan = Hewitt:Smart

  Our beloved local conservative loudmouth Hugh Hewitt has spent the last half-year ranting about how Republican presidential candidate (and subject of his most-recent book) Mitt Romney is the next coming of Ronald Reagan to the point of nausea and idiocy. "Romney has reassembled the Reagan coalition and may have done so just in time to save the GOP from lapsing into its pre-Reagan days," Baby Hewie wrote last night, and doesn't the man just love to gnash the hands that fed him?

• The Circus Outside the Toll Road Circus Inside

  Photo by Christopher Victorio Passing through the Del Mar Fairgrounds gates bound for the toll-road hearing inside O’Brien Hall Monday morning, you were first re-directed to a party scene created by 241 opponents. At any time during the 10-hour marathon inside, dozens and dozens of people filled the bustling area outside to sign up with environmental groups, get free food vouchers, make protest signs or acquire pre-printed ones, pose with a cut-out of George W. Bush in a green “Save the Par

• When Did Ronald Reagan First Utter His Infamous OC Quote?

  I've long assumed that President Ronald Reagan's famous quote about Orange County--where the good Republicans go to die--was first uttered at the El Toro base, just before he launched his 1984 reelection campaign at Mile Square Park in Fountain Valley. Color me shocked, then, when I recently bought a December 1981 National Geographic magazine with an article on our fair land ("Orange, a Very California County"--great reading, btw), and found the exact quote written nearly word for word by the au

  Courtesy U.S. Capitol"Ladies and gentlemen, the statue of Ronald Reagan," the announcer inside the Capitol Rotunda said last Wednesday before House Speaker Nancy Pelosi helped 87-year-old Nancy Reagan to her feet so she could tug back the blue drape cloaking Chas Fagan's 7-foot bronze statue of the Gipper.The audience rose to politely applaud. Among them were a bipartisan collection of the type of folks you'd normally see shouting each other down on the Sunday chat shows. From the right came for

• Missed National Ice Cream Day (Yesterday)? Don't Worry, There Are Still 12 More Days of National Ice Cream Month

  Yes, it's weird that the powers that be-in this case, Ronald Reagan-saw fit to declare a NICD during NICM (isn't every day of July NICD?) But I'm not complaining. Not when there are one-of-a-kind places like Quinn's, in Los Alamitos, to satisfy my urges. Open since March, the cute parlor sells Fosselman's ices, cupcakes from the Frosted Cupcakery in Long Beach and a huge range of old-fashioned and European candy (Flakes! Crunchies! Curly Wurlies!). But if you're on a diet, forget it. Don't think

• Remember Reagan's School Speech? The One Loaded With Indoctrinating Comments?

  No one seemed to bat an eye and or raise even the slightest controversial eyebrow twenty-one years ago when then President Ronald Reagan huddled a bunch of school-aged rugrats into the oval office and delivered a nationally televised "education" speech that was cluttered with blatant plugs for his administration's nascent policies and perceived achievements. "One of the principal reasons we were able to get the economy back on track and create those new jobs and all was because we cut the taxes,

• Mike Duvall Nickname Time!

  Already, some in the local blogosphere have taken to call disgraced ex-Assemblymember Mike Duvall "Spanky," because the perv likes to get his spank on. I vigorously disagree--I prefer "The Dripper," not just because of the grossest part of his shared sexual exploits ("And
 so, we had made love Wednesday--a lot! And so she'll, she's all, 'I am going 
up and down the stairs, and you're dripping out of me!' So messy!") but because of the play on the nickname of that GOP saint, Ronald Reagan. Bu
