When it comes to examining the root causes of illegal immigration, some Republicans work overtime to reconcile their hatred of “illegals” (cough—Mexicans!—cough-cough!) with the Bible—something that's not always easy to pull off given that the Bible preaches goodwill to those who are less fortunate. Take the Oct. 29 opinion piece that appeared on the Republican …

Remember Robert Morey, the self-proclaimed Islam expert who runs Faith Community Church in Irvine? Last March, the Weekly examined many of his outrageous claims–that he's on a Hamas death list, that the Los Angeles Police Department consulted with him to make sure local Muslims wouldn't kill cops during raids, that he received a doctorate in …

Are you a fan of Hillary but not sure she can win? A Romney follower who has questions about his Mormonism? Like Giuliani, but hate his abortion stance? Dig Obama, but worry about his pals who hate gays? It's tough to pick a presidential candidate who's just right, especially with all the pundits arguing back …
I wish I paid more attention to my Spanish teacher when he was lecturing back in high school. But well, I didn’t. And so, Saturday’s El Día De Los Muertos probably wasn’t as fulfilling as it could have been. Don’t get me wrong: it was a great (and really enlightening) cultural experience. But I doubt …
Outside of the Weekly, no media outlet has been more brutal on Orange County Sheriff-Coroner Mike Carona than The John and Ken Show on KFI-AM 640. The boyos have taken time off from railing about Reconquista to mock Carona, his political advisor Mike Schroeder, his wife Susan Kang Schroeder, and anyone who's stupid enough to …
Apparently, good Republicans do exist. CBS News is reporting that Senator Charles Grassley (R-Iowa) has sent letters to mega-millionaire televangelists Paula White, Joyce Meyer, Creflo Dollar, Eddie Long, Kenneth Copeland and Benny Hinn asking they turn over all financial records within a month or risk losing their tax-exempt status after fielding complaints about their extravagant …

We've always tried really hard to like Jaime Soto, the auxiliary bishop in the Catholic Diocese of Orange who's leaving this weekend to become coadjutor bishop in the Diocese of Sacramento. He's a virtual Aztlanista on immigration, urges compassion for AIDS victims, and always sports a smile. But our admiration for Soto goes the way …
Muscles from Melbourne: kinda weak. Halloween: It's really more for adults than for kids, isn't it? It astounds me how much effort grownups put into their costumes, simply to have ridiculous amounts of fun getting wasted as they take mini-vacations from their own personae. The overflow gathering at Detroit Bar last night proved this conclusively—and …
Sheriff Michael S. Carona and his wife Debbie make their walk of shame out of the Ronald Reagan Federal Building and U.S. Courthouse at around 4 p.m. The pair (and Carona's longtime mistress, Debra Hoffman) sat cuffed inside the building moments earlier. Click the photo for more images from this afternoon's media circus! Alas, no …
