Barftender [Hey, You!]
I am the customer who should have known when to quit. You are the bartender who took advantage of that. After I thought I settled the bill, you walked back over with the receipt and said, “If you mean to tip 20 percent, it should be this amount.” You then pointed to a number you […]
Dana Watch: Polled Over
If anyone hoped that a long list of distinguished candidates for the 48th Congressional district seat might prevent incumbent Representative Dana Rohrabacher (R-Putin’s chest protector) from advancing beyond June’s primary election, a poll of likely voters dispels that notion. In its poll conducted March 4-6, Change Research for Fight Back CA PAC received 688 responses […]

Crushed [Savage Love]
I’m a straight male in my 30s. I’ve been with my wife for 12 years. I have had several affairs. Not one-night-stand scenarios, but longer-term connections. I didn’t pursue any of these relationships. Instead, women who knew I was in an “exclusive” relationship have approached me. These have included what turned into a one-year affair […]

To Live and Die in the Arizona Desert in a 2018 Chevy Bolt EV Premier
WRITER’S NOTE: This Ride Me vehicle-review column is the first of two parts featuring the 2018 Chevy Bolt EV Premier. So much happened over the week I test drove the electric car that it did not seem fair to pack into a single story my experiences as well as my opinions about the EV. […]

Anaheim Mayor Tom Tait Goes to Puerto Rico
Anaheim Mayor Tom Tait spent April 9 touring the Puerto Rican city of Guaynabo, just outside of San Juan.

The Mayor Exchange program, funded by the New […]
Free Brake Light Repair Clinic Gives OC Police One Less Reason to Pull Us Over
By Sandra De Anda “The reason for the stop is your third brake light is out,” convicted South Carolina killer cop Michael Slager said to Walter Scott in 2015.

List of Active Candidates for Rohrabacher’s House Seat Shrinks But the Ballot Doesn’t
There are now fewer candidates actively seeking the 48th congressional district seat that Representative Dana Rohrabacher (R-Putin’s Sleeping Bag) is trying to keep. Not that the June primary election ballot will reflect that. Candidates who exited the race after the March 9 filing deadline remain on the ballot. On Thursday morning, Republican businessman Stelian Onufrei […]
FAIR’s Anti-Immigrant Extremist Behind OC’s Anti-Sanctuary State Revolt Has OC Roots
In a tale of two city councils, Los Alamitos and Yorba Linda traveled down different paths towards the same goal of opposing the California Values Act last month.

A 26-year-old Irvine man, who was ratted out by a family member, was charged Thursday with hate crimes for threatening to kill prominent Jews, possessing anti-semitic literature and being loaded for bear–if those bears were Jewish bears.

Dana Watch: Slime Baugh
Scott Baugh, the former California Assembly Republican leader and Orange County GOP chairman, should feel honored. The re-election campaign for Representative Dana Rohrabacher (R-Cambridge Analytica) put out its first mailer sliming a candidate seeking the incumbent’s coastal Orange County congressional seat.

A Lotto B.O. [Hey, You!]
You were holding up the line at the liquor store. You had on giant, Coke-bottle-thick glasses and a Marine haircut. You insisted on standing at the counter, scraping Scratcher after Scratcher, determined to win a million dollars before you walked out the door. Meanwhile, the cloud of hot mugginess around you was the opposite of […]

Down There [Savage Love]
Background: I, a 21-year-old male, enjoy receptive fisting. I’ve also had constipation problems all my life. Question: I saw my doctor recently, and he tried to link my enjoyment of anal sex to my constipation. (Granted, I didn’t tell him EVERYTHING I do down there.) My understanding was that there was no causal relationship, assuming […]

Anti-Defamation League Joins Call for HB Finance Commissioner’s Removal
Gracey Van Der Mark somehow remains on the Huntington Beach finance commission even after a controversy erupted around her online bigotry earlier this month.

Win or Lose in Los Alamitos, Undocumented Immigrants Will Continue to Fight
By Samuel Paramore For a long time, Orange County’s preferred public image proclaimed itself a white suburban wonderland. The hard-working immigrant communities that are its backbone are made to be unseen, save for when they’re bashed for political expediency. Immigrants, undocumented or not, are always exploited for their labor and when it comes to their […]
Los Alamitos Police Silent on City’s Potential “Sanctuary State” Opt-Out
