• Pumped Up On Reading

  Many, many books get delivered to the Weekly. Some of them are likely Very Important Books that Very Serious Thinkers would spend much time mulling over. But some of them are little escapist gems of chick lit, my own frothy, guilty pleasure. I've been scooping up books from the receptionist's office, mostly based on titles and cover images, for a couple of months now. And since our lovely and talented Web Editor is begging people to blog, well, I thought a mid-summer book blast might get her off

• LYT in USA Today

  Weekly investigative reporter extraordinaire Scott Moxley just informed me that our fab Comic-Con blogger - LYT - made today's edition of USA Today. His rainbow 'do is apparently a camera magnet. That's not too surprising. Couldn't help snapping a few of him myself. And Luke was sitting at Hall H for hours on end...an easy target. Photo via USA Today. The article's titled "It's Good to be a Geek at Comic-Con."

• Carona in Cuffs!

  Sheriff Mike Carona, facing federal criminal corruption charges, turned himself in early this morning at the Ronald Reagan Federal Courthouse in downtown Santa Ana. Later in the afternoon, Carona, along with his wife Debbie and mistress Debra Hoffman, appeared in the courtroom of Judge Robert Block for a pre-arraignment hearing . . . aaahhh, you don't wanna read that stuff. And I don't wanna write it, either. Seriously, you can find all that blah-blah somewhere else (excepting maybe the OC Regi

• Truthiness About Carona Revealed!

  Turns out our Scott Moxley had everything wrong about Sheriff Carona, according to the DC-based news source Prime Legitimate News. The pictures between Carona and Las Vegas mobster Rick Rizzolo? Carona "went undercover as a corrupt cop" in "an undercover police uniform pretending to party, accept large cash contributions, even going so far as to sample strippers in Rizzolo's presence to make the criminals believe that he would be the kind of man who might throw his Christian values out the door

• A Record Broken, A Promise Kept

  I didn't think it would happen, but it finally did: the back-and-forth between Catholic sex-abuse survivor advocates and a bunch of idiots posted yesterday is now the most-commented story in Navel Gazing history, beating Scott Moxley's news of Carona's indictment. Congrats, wackies! In better news, we finally have an entrant in our Mater Dei High School apologist contest: the anonymous commentator who calls himself "Annoyed" sent the Weekly a copy of angry letters he (she?) sent to Diocese of O

• Supervisor Wannabe Promises to Combat OC Weekly's Evil Grip on County

  You're forgiven if you haven't already heard the good news about Donald Ritze. He's a helicopter pilot, avocado grower and member of the Orange County Bee Keepers Association who is running against Bill Campbell for OC's third supervisorial district. According to a section of his website called "My Bios"--which you presumably can find on "The Internets", Ritze has a wife and kids, 232 avocado trees, and a desultory relationship with spelling and punctuation. "Everyone wants to know what party I

• R. Scott Moxley in Washington Post!

  Yesterday, the Washington Post did a good recap of our disgraced ex-sheriff, Mike "Phenomenal Pussy" Carona. Past the expected cliches thrown around by out-of-town reporters ("famously conservative bastion," "the sensibility enshrined at Anaheim's Disneyland long has informed local politics," "a community once represented by a congressman the John Birch Society had ejected for "extremism") was some words from our own Scott Moxley on Carona: Court papers indicate the woman has turned state's wit

• Small World

  As Clockwork sits in deliberations as an Orange County Superior Court alternate juror, speaking as this is being banged out is our foreman, Stephen Mensinger. When Mensinger is not being paid $15-a-day to fulfill his civic duty, he earns bukoo bucks to preside over Irvine-based developer SunCal's multifamily division. In essence, he's in charge of the apartments, townhomes and condos that are included in SunCal projects. One such project is the delay-plagued Marblehead oceanview project in San

  Stephen C. Smith calls on others to keep tabs on Irvine City Hall.CORRECTED!Lost in Santa Ana a few months ago, half paying attention to the street signs and half to Larry Mantle's KPCC interview show blaring out of the car speakers, I heard the host steer his Orange County "roundtable" guests--Orange County Register senior editorial writer Steven Greenhut; former LA Times religion writer William Lobdell and the Weekly's irrepressible Gustavo Arellano--into the topic of local bloggers.

• Aww, There's a Tea-Bagging Reunion Today

  Spencer Kornhaber / OCWApril 15, 2009. Remember that? Best day of your life, right? Not just because you got to pay taxes, but rather because you got a chance to complain about paying those taxes. The Weekly, at least, had a pretty good time at last month's tax-hating/liberals-bashing Tea Party in Santa Ana. We covered it here, and even made a pretty slideshow of all the crazy signs and costumes! Santa Ana may have been OC's biggest anti-tax bash that day, but there was a slew of other ones too.

  Longtime Orange County Register theater critic Paul Hodgins is a good guy, great critic, and someone whom was once on the same panel with me judging a dog show. Yesterday, he wrote a blog post about how Westboro Baptist Church (they of "God Hates Fags" infamy) plans to protest outside Corona del Mar High School because its drama department will stage the Pulitzer Prize-winning Rent (there will be counterprotests organized by the Anti-Defamation League and other groups scheduled for 2:30 in the a
