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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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. The roaming pro-Trump circus packed Los Alamitos’ tiny chambers on Mar. 19 in supporting the city’s effort to adopt an ordinance opting out of the “Sanctuary State” […]

Scott Baugh, the former California Assembly Republican leader and Orange County GOP chairman, should feel honored.

Background: I, a 21-year-old male, enjoy receptive fisting. I’ve also had constipation problems all my life.

My understanding was that there was no causal relationship, assuming […]

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 […]
