• Following the Dick Nixon Paper Trail

  Yesterday, the best investigative reporter in Orange County, R. Scott Moxley, shared something he saw on L.A. Observed that suggested Richard Nixon may have fibbed about his birthplace being the little white framed house that's now a Yorba Linda tourist attraction. That's because Dick's mom told the Los Angeles Times in 1959 that the then-vice president was born in a hospital. That got me thinking about something unusual about Nixon's birth I saw in Diggin' Up Gold on the Old Paper Trail;

• 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,"

• The OC Connection to KPFK's Anti-Semitic Show

  Type "Augustin Cebada" on YouTube to hear his take on plain ol' white folk!The Jewish Journal of Greater Los Angeles has a fascinating article in tomorrow's edition about "La Causa," a show that airs Wednesdays at 9:30 p.m. on KPFK-FM 90.7 and is hosted by a 1960s refugee who calls himself Augustin Cebada (not his real name) and allows some of the worst anti-Semitic bile to soil Southern California since La Voz de Aztlan--and more on that connection in a bit! I'm quoted in the piece by reporter

• Blast from the Past: Another Connection Between Anti-Semitic KPFK Host and La Voz de Aztlan

  Perhaps the best exposé on the Jew-bashing, gay-trashing website La Voz de Aztlan was published in 2002 by the now-defunct New Times Los Angeles. This is where we got the information that sole writer Hector Carreon (last name has Jewish roots) worked in Buena Park. The article hasn't existed online for years, however, mysteriously scrubbed away from the grasp of Google and even the mighty Lexis-Nexis database--until now. Following the jump is the article in its entirety, written by Tony Ortega,

  Cebada, in happier times, railing against whites instead of Jews**Updated, with new info on the bottom...Oh, happy day! KPFK-FM 90.7 management has suspended the anti-Semitic hatefest called "La Causa" for six weeks for the obvious reasons, a week after the Jewish Journal published a devastating exposé of the program. I didn't find out from a KPFK statement or the JJ, though; rather, the people to break this news was the Jew-bashing, gay-trashing La Voz de Aztlan. And if there was any doubt of

  Smoking Gun gets the scoop on La Habra's newest celebrity having filed an application to trademark the word "Octomom," which the mother of 14--including eight she spit out in January--wants to slap on disposable diapers and assorted clothing items for major chi-ching. Nadya Suleman, who has shown a knack for cashing in on her post-natal predicament, last Friday filed two applications with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office in a bid to commercially exploit her tabloid-bestowed nickname.

• Adventures in Chasing Kogi

  Edwin Goei Saturday, April 25, 2009 -- A day in which I attempt to hunt down the Kogi Korean BBQ taco truck.  Here's how it went down: 12:12 p.m. I get an e-mail tip that Kogi's going to be in Buena Park tonight, at the same location they ended up in last Wednesday night. I am eating carne asada nachos at Alerto's in Westminster when I receive the message. 12:27 p.m. I lick my fingers of nacho salsa and post the news via iPhone on this blog. 10:21 p.m. I see tweet that there'

• Angels Radio Broadcaster Terry Smith: Get Some Balls

  On the drive back from Rio Hondo College in Whittier yesterday, I managed to hear Angel Talk for the first time. It's the call-in show that follows any game by your Anaheim Angels and is hosted by Angels radio broadcaster Terry Smith. Yesterday, people called in whining about shortstop Erick Aybar not performing (although I saw him on Sportscenter's Top Plays yesterday...), how there are too many Halos fans who don't remember the lean years of the 1970s, and other such diamond minutiae. To be ho

I revealed that Fresh & Easy has no further plans to expand locally in the near future, following big losses in its US operations. That may well disappoint OC Weekly-reading fans of the chain, one of whom likened it to Disneyland (!)And Gustavo made a plea for loquat tree owners to contact Ernest Miller, a Whittier cook and foo

  Ernest Miller is a cook at the Disneyland Resort who also blogs at Culinary Safaris and is enrolled alongside my chica in the Master Food Preserver that has me going to San Bernardino more times than any non-909er should ever have to.

As a final project for the class, Miller wants to make loquat barbecue sauce, loquat jam, loquat butter, loquat preserves, and loquat brandy. He has a loquat tree in his Whittier

  Dave Lieberman​A great fish taco is a thing of beauty: fried fish (yes, it must be fried!) topped with raw, shredded cabbage, crema (thin Mexican sour cream), chunky salsa and a squeeze of lime on corn tortillas. The first time I had them ("Fish tacos? Seriously?") was when I was working in the San Gabriel Valley, home to the wonderful chain called El Taco Nazo. I was hooked instantly, both by the tacos and to the amazing fried yellow chiles kept covered on a foil-wrapped platter.Back then, al
