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 […]

A Lotto B.O. [Hey, You!]

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.

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

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.
