Shana’s Bulb Goes Dim

There is something entertaining when a professional know-it-all runs into somebody who isn’t going to accept her bullshit.

The fake candle provided no illumination…

And so we have the hilarious spectacle of Shana Charles – cloistered, third-rate academic – confronting and over-talking George Bushala, Jr. because she doesn’t like his answers about how come he hasn’t built a restaurant on the Bushala Brothers, Inc., portion of the Santa Fe Depot loading dock. Enjoy the video:

Somehow Shana, who has never ventured a nickle into anything, thinks BBI should have built a fancy restaurant (like Trevor’s at the Tracks!) despite the stonewalling of staff, and the animosity of Jennifer Fitzgerald, Jan Flory, and Ahmad Zahra. Then there’s the little problem of economic recessions in the early 2000s and 2008-2012, the real estate crash in 2007, and the COVID disaster in 2020-2002.

It has also escaped poor Shana’s feeble intellectual grasp that the City’s portion of the loading dock – east of the centerline of Pomona Avenue, is structurally connected to the Bushala leasehold, an awkward situation that is obviously an impediment to development. It’s going to take a million bucks to build out – something no one would do under the present situation.

“Shana’s at the Tracks”

Shana actually believes there is a “structure” suitable for a restaurant – instead of an unenclosed, unsound, ramshackle frame on a concrete bulkhead with no utilities.

When you know what you’re talking about, the whole cooked-up lease “controversy” is ridiculous.

Shana has the ignorant audacity to mention people who ran COVID businesses out of their kitchen, a comment so fucking stupid that it doesn’t even need repudiation.

The final sentence from Bushala is classic: “that’s why you don’t do what I do.”

What Dr. Charles does is talk self-important ideological blather to vacant-faced students looking for an easy elective, and whose multiple choice tests are graded by a computer.

  1. FFFF when the government helps anyone else:
    “What are you doing with our tax dollars?!”

    FFFF when the government helps them:
    “Waaahhh please approve our illegal lease! We deserve it!”

    1. Who says the lease is illegal? Not the City Attorney. Only Sweet Young Elijah and the useless Kennedy Sisters.

      1. That you people are all assholes who post hate screeds on your dead end blog? We know!

        Write an article on Fiends for Fullerton’s Failure or pick lint out of your belly button. Equally productive pursuits since I can’t imagine your readership amounts to much at all.

        That’s why you hate The Observer so much… you covet their readership. Oh what Bushala agenda items you could accomplish with that.

        In reality, if you had a newspaper people would quickly get the gist and drop you like a bad habit.

        By the way, I though there was going to be a newspaper?

        Lol.

  2. You can always decide not to log onto fullertonsfuture.org, which isn’t easy to type into your laptop Elijah Manassero with your tiny hands. Yet you log onto it many times a day and increase the views on Tony’s blog. Thanks pal!

    1. Elijah, thank you for your consistent support and engagement on the blog. Your clicks and comments are crucial for fostering a vibrant community discussion. While it’s surprising that this blog doesn’t generate revenue yet has been a driving force in Fullerton politics for nearly two decades, our purpose isn’t about revenue like the Kennedy Klan’s Observer. Our goal is to create a space where Fullerton citizens can voice opinions, address important issues, and engage in meaningful dialogue. Your participation strengthens and connects our community. Thank you for being a part of it. Remember, FFFF advocates for intelligent, responsible, and accountable government in Fullerton and Orange County. Keep coming back!

  3. Charles thought she was on the Supreme Court and could interrupt and talk over the applicant she asked to answer her questions. George Bushala, Jr. was having none of it. Good for him for being straightforward and not giving a fuck about her pompous attitude.

    1. Getting to stand up in front of a bunch of slack-jawed students must give her a sense of self-importance.

      At the previous meeting she chastised the Bushalas for not “reaching out to her” as if they needed her vote or needed to kiss her ring.

    2. Once he and his idiot brother purchased the votes they needed he was free to tell her to lick his seam for all he cares, what can she do about it? He can run his mouth all he wants when he already owns 3/4’s the of the city council.

      1. Don’t sound a lot like idiots.

        Anyway it was Sheena who interrupted him and tried to shout him down. I watched the video stream.

  4. There is some interest in restoring the woodwork …benches & ticketcounter.
    Is there any train depot revitalization money left for this? Also the drinking fountain inside the station never got turned on the ada door was disconnected.
    It would be nice to repaint the tracks divider fence and the platform yellow lines .

  5. hahahaha, another Bushala man-child whining about how hard it is to build a restaurant on land they’ve sat on for 20 years. perhaps if Jr. spent less time parroting daddy’s blog rants and more time doing literally anything, people wouldn’t laugh when he says “that’s why you don’t do what I do.” Because what exactly is that, George-y boy… stalling and blaming everyone else?

  6. “Somehow Shana, who has never ventured a nickle into anything, thinks BBI should have built a fancy restaurant (like Trevor’s at the Tracks!) despite the stonewalling of staff, and the animosity of Jennifer Fitzgerald, Jan Flory, and Ahmad Zahra.” And…Jesus Silva, Dick Jones, Don Bankhead, Ken Domer, shall I go on?

    1. I don’t think The Jesus was anti-Bushala, exactly. He’s just a pussy. You forgot the obnoxious drunk city manager, Joe Felz – emblematic of Fullerton Failure.

  7. Ever notice how Boohoos complain about everything and claim to have solutions but never actually solve or improve anything? You know, people like Charles, Zahra, the Kennedy Sisters, Egleth, Kitty Jabbamillo, and now Tender Elijah.

    1. Their solution to everything is expensive and no account government intervention. That’s why they love them some Trail to Nowhere and Walk on Wilshire and a vastly subsidized/money losing “museum” (if you want to call it that).

      It’s all about the feelings one gets patronizing things – like “the arts” or “underserved communities.” And the feelings are best indicated by the amount of money spent. It show how much you care, not how much you care if it is well spent.

    1. I was wondering about that. She wants a fancy sit down restaurant. Then she intimates the wonders of food truckery and COVID home kitchenry. She really is hopelessly stupid.
