• Sic Transit...

  It seem there might be a princess– princess in the sense of being the child of a European royal– somewhere in the Inland Empire. Albert Grimaldi, the ruling prince of Monaco (and one of the least inbred of Europe's royal relics, thanks to the genetic material of Grace Kelly), is reportedly about to acknowledged that he is the father of a 14 year old girl from Riverside County. Since Albert wasn't married to the mother, the girl will have no claim to the throne (given Albert's habit o

• The Meek Shall Inherit My Boot Up Their Ass

  Epiphany. For awhile now I've wondered how America could exit in its bizarre current dynamic, with the Christian right flexing its government-sanctioned power, in flagrant defiance of the separation of church and state. Christians who love their neighbors, provided their neighbors accept Jesus. Conservatives of the most spiteful sort, who love to site all the dark bits of Scripture but always forget about things like "love thy neighbor", especially if thy neighbor wants to indulge in a same-sex

• Sam Zell: He's as American as liking pussy

  Sniff, Sniff, ohh America, you smell like lilacs and tenderness. Billionaire private equity mogul and, since last year, chairman and chief executive of Los Angeles Times parent company Tribune Co. is an unabashed patriot. He loves America, mmm hmm, yes he does. He wants to stick his face right in America and smell its purple mountain's majesty. And he especially loves a bald eagle. Also, he apparently shares this love of country with his some of his closest friends. According to a post on

• Mexican Kids Hating Mexican Kids, And Why It's Okay

  La Opinión had a fascinating front-page piece yesterday about kiddies at Creek View Elementary School in Ontario regaling each other with a rhyme that translates as, "I don't want to go to Mexico ever again, again, again/Mexico stinks, stinks, stinks/There's a fat policeman at the door, door, door." Parents and school officials are flipping out, and La Opinión even interviews some psychologist who warns that "the danger" of such a chant toward a student's self-esteem "can be profound." Even cr

• Racist Reductio ad Absurdum: Ahistoric Minutemen

  **Originally posted August 6; moved up because of a funny update, which follows original post! Last week, the Campo Minutemen sent out a mass email railing about the mural shown to the left at Marco F. Foster Middle School in San Juan Capistrano. The message sent by one Cheryl Burns is so priceless it warrants a full excerpt: Please share this email with everyone on your email list. This is going on in more than San Juan Capistrano, California, a sanctuary city. One of the documents attache

• $15 2-Course Lunch at Anaheim White House For Administrative Professionals' Week

  The Anaheim White House is offering a special for Administrative Assistants' (or Professionals') Week (April 20-24). For $15, you can treat your Administrative Assistant (or Professional) for a two-course lunch (an entree and dessert), and you don't have to report it on your 10-K. Heck for $15, if you are well-to-do enough to have an Administrative Assistant (or Professional) working for you, you can probably afford to just pay it out your own pocket! Though I wouldn't let on that the meal
