Economy got you down? Do you have a hardcore drug habit you need to support!?? Are you a dyed-in-the-wool career criminal who is dying to assault and rob innocent, hardworking taxpayers??  Well doggone it [...]

“Mayor Heather Fargo called the [police] cuts [announced by Chief Rick Braziel] ‘outrageous’ and ‘unacceptable’ .. She said there were other things the department should consider cutting, like white collar crime investigations and ‘officers out on New Year’s chatting with each other’..”
There she goes, there she goes again.. ripping her colleagues and employees for the [...]

I received my absentee ballot today. These days I get pretty excited when I see that envelope in the mail. Admittedly, earlier in my adult life I wasn’t too interested in politics. I was too busy doing other things. I guess I never had a reason to care. After all, it was easy to buy [...]

I supported Obama early on. I thought he was the right guy for the job. I articulated this in at least two articles on this site in April and May. Then again, my support for him presupposed he would select a strong running mate like Hilary Clinton.
Then the Biden choice was announced. I was bowled [...]

Shortly after I published Angelique Ashby’s smoldering letter to the Natomas community about the West Natomas fire,  District One Councilman Ray Tretheway sent his own email to the community, replete with canned sentimentality only Razor Sharp Ray could cook up on a moment’s notice.

One absolutely can not be an effective leader (let along consensus builder!) with that kind of emotion ruling one’s entire [...]

What a fabulous letter from Cecily Hastings of Inside Publications. Inside Publications publishes newspapers such as Inside East Sacramento and Inside Arden [hey when is Inside Natomas coming?]. The basic premise of her support for Kevin Johnson is that eight years of Fargo is enough. Eight years is enough for a president, a governor, and [...]

You didn’t think I was gone for good, did you? Hey, I have to work, too. My job is such that is fluctuates from semi-organized chaos to blissful tranquility (with nothing in between) and the past few weeks have been the former.
I recently got promoted, and with my promotion came a ton of new responsibilities. [...]

According to Heather Fargo, her #1 priority has ALWAYS been public safety. That’s why she’s been green-lighting continued building in Natomas right up until the final minute of the December deadline (although KJ approves of the same, so they both seem to think tax revenue is more important than our safety), despite the incredibly severe [...]
