• Register Gone Red?

  The Orange County Register's parent company, Blackstone Group, said Red money is good money May 22 as they accepted $3 billion from its newest partner, the Chinese government, according to reports from several news agencies. Blackstone Group is a private equity firm that owns 28 daily newspapers and 37 weeklies in 11 states under its subsidiary Freedom Communications. Talks have already begun about finding a less ironic name for the chain, leading some to suggest "Pander Express," according to r

• SoCal Independent Film Festival: Saturday out of the Sun

  Nothing like a little suspense to kickstart one's Saturday. I'm not just talking about the festival's first program of shorts, either, but the suspense over whether an actual parking spot would be had. It'd be great to say that the festival was just so popular due to our press coverage that fans packed the place, but that isn't exactly what happened -- rather, a jazz festival was going on on the adjacent grounds, and that brought in the masses like I wouldn't have thought jazz can. Later in th

• Crocoshit Dundee?

  Local water officials, who are looking to Australia for expertise on how to survive one of the worst droughts in California's recorded history, hosted former Queensland Premier Peter Beattie at its monthly luncheon on Thursday, something that prompted Rupert Murdoch's Aussie papers to mock Beattie, the Block of Orange locale and the Orange County Water Association. Beattie addressed our local water brigade in his capacity as the Los Angeles-based trade and investment commissioner for Queensland

• La Voz de Aztlán Not Just Anti-Semitic, but Also Anti-Facts

  Our second-favorite piece of Internet effluvia (after Barbara Coe's e-mails, that is), is La Voz de Aztlán, the gay-bashing, Jew-trashing website run by Hector Carreon, a former Buena Park city employee who operates his one-man digital dung heap out of Whittier. What's funniest about Carreon is that he tries to portray himself as anti-Zionist, not anti-Jew, but fails miserably again and again. "La Voz de Aztlan stands against Anti-Semitism and any form of hate, xenophobia, racism and bigotry,"

  Ali, with a UCI goon trying to intimidate Levin by snapping a shot of himEvery year for the past couple of years, UC Irvine's Muslim Student Union has invited a hilarious hater named Abdel Malik Ali, one so noxious that the Southern Poverty Law Center profiled the pendejo. I'm not sure why the MSU kids bring in Ali--ostensibly to rail against the treatment of Palestinians by Israel, but he always brings up anti-Jewish canards that have nothing to do with the current problems in the Holy Land.

• 2009 Postseason Throwdown: 5 Drugs the Ump Could've Been On Before Making the Worst Call of All Time

  McClelland. McDipShit.​In the top of the fifth inning of the Angels' 10-1 loss to the Yankees last night, umpire Tim McClelland made what Yahoo! Big League Stew blogger Duk has labeled "the worst call of all time."  ​"Yes, you read that right," Duk declares. "The worst call of all time. Not just this postseason. Not this entire season. Not this decade. Not this century. I challenge you to think of one that was worse." Watch the total injustice here.
