June 25, 2006Friday's Headlines & Surprises: Excessive Force?
Shoot 15 times, ask softball questions later: The parents of Ashley MacDonald, the 18-year-old Huntington Beach girl killed by two police officers, filed an excessive force lawsuit yesterday in U.S. District Court, according to Christine Hanley at the Times. According to their suit, Kenneth MacDonald and Lisa Marie Guy claim that the officers didn't need to shoot Ashley 15 times--apparently, even as she was on the ground--for their own safety last August. Of course, Ashley hadn't been an angel.
July 27, 2007Saturday's Headlines & Surprises: Are There Snapple Bottles in Jail?
Sheriff's Lawyer Pal Going to the Slammer: Somehow defense attorney Joe Cavallo—indicted Sheriff Michael S. Carona’s longtime drinking buddy—was able to operate a bail bonds scheme inside Carona’s jail. Hmmm. Wonder how that happened. Any ideas Mikey? Anyhow, yesterday Cavallo (pictured) became the latest in a series of Carona associates to win incarceration. Superior Court Judge Carla M. Singer ordered him to serve six months in jail, which—given his creativity—could prove profitab

April 6, 2000Funniest Loretta Sanchez Anecdote of the Year!
My May post about Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez's wishy-washy support of undocumented college students considering her Aztlanista tendencies unleashed quite a Democratic flurry against me, but it also sparked outrage among college administrators, professors, and counselors who work with DREAM Act students. From those ranks comes a Loretta flub of Rohrbacher-esque proportions.October 1999--I accompanied my oldest daughter and a group of about 15 [high school] students as a chaperone on a Model Un

The other day, while getting the website that mirrors your favorite OC alt.-weekly pub ready for ya'all, Clockworken noticed something interesting upon opening Gustavo Arellano's popular column !Ask a Mexican!
