Anti Measure K activist Tony Bushala has lodged a formal request to OC District Attorney Todd Spitzer to investigate whether Fullerton Joint Union High School personnel illegally campaigned for the March 3rd bond effort. According to State law, it is impermissible to expend public resources on behalf of an election. It’s a crime. Public agencies […]
Chronic Failure
Appeals Court Slaps Fullerton… Again
Twice now the City of Fullerton has managed to baffle a judge with bullshit and get the judge to issue a prior restraint against myself, David and this blog stopping us from publishing “secret city hall documents”. Twice now the city has boasted of their win only to be slapped down by the CA Appellate […]
Joe Felz in the News. Again.
Entertainers and politicians are often cited as saying there is no such thing as bad publicity. However, former Fullerton City Manager Joe Burt Felz is not a professional politician or entertainer, although his political machinations and his alcohol-induced behavior have been cause for entertainment. You will certainly recall Felz’s now infamous “Wild Ride” in which […]
Say Goodnight Paulette
Yesterday a lot of chickens fluttered home to roost for sign thief and fake carpetbagger Paulette Marshall Chaffee. After spending hundreds of thousands of bucks for a part time job on the county’s Board of Education, she was defeated, and defeated badly. The job goes to La Habra’s Tim Shaw, another candidate who unloaded a […]
It’s All About the Kids. And Party.
I just took a quick tour of the required Form 460 campaign documents for the “committee” that is pushing for the $190,000,000 Fullerton Elementary School Bond measure on next Tuesday’s ballot. Sure enough, Schedule A, the contributor list for mid-January to mid-February was studded with district contractors, architects and other commercial hangers-on whose livelihood depends […]
The “Fullerton Gazette” Chaffee Scam Explained
As you may have seen Paulette Chaffee got the much coveted endorsement of the “Fullerton Gazette“, a mysterious little rag that until her specific endorsement nobody knew existed. Well, after a little internet sleuthing I discovered why there is no byline to their articles and no names associated with their masthead. It turns out that […]
Good Golly. Goodbye Molly. Good Riddance
According to The Fullerton Observer, North Orange County Community College District trustee, Molly McClanahan has pulled the plug on her career as an alleged overseer of the bureaucracy at the local junior colleges. Her seat will remain vacant until the November election, a rather telling sign of how critical the job is. Of course Molly […]

FFFF on KCET’s SoCal Connected over Hamel Agreement
The Hamel Separation story that we broke, and which got us sued, was referenced on KCET’s SoCal Connected this last weekend. Check it out, we show up about 22 minutes and 30 seconds into the show.
Before and After….
Let’s make it easy. Here is the official CUP application blank form with the official city seal: And now, for comparison, the form submitted to the City by scofflaw Mr. Joe Florentine, and cheerfully processed by the planning department staff: I don’t know about you, but if I were a city bureaucrat, I’d looks askance […]
Paulette Marshall – Educator, Attorney, Thief
Our old pal, convicted sign thief and trespass artist, Paulette Marshall is in the news again. It seems as if Ms. Marshall has been bitten by the elected position bug, for she has decided to run for County School Board. The job itself isn’t all that important other than giving Paulette the opportunity to put […]
Our New Mayor
Our esteemed City Council appointed lobbyist-councilcreature Jennifer Fitzgerald to be the new mayor a couple weeks ago. Supposedly it’s her turn again. How and why Jan Flory was appointed Mayor Pro Tem is anybody’s guess, especially since Bruce Whitaker and Ahmad Zahra have been on the council longer without appointment – supposedly the criterion for […]
I Believe I’ve Seen This Show Before
Some poor dopes think that history repeats itself, and yet there are times when it’s hard to argue the point, as when the City Deciders of Fullerton wade out into the same quicksand again and again and again. I’m referring to the tedious habit of entering into lame exclusive agreements for stupid projects involving public […]
Meanwhile Back @ The Ranch – Part 4
Yes, Friends, FFFF still has some catching up to do, what with being sued by the legal beagles at the crack I Can’t believe It’s a Law Firm of Jones & Mayer. Enduring legal attacks from the the people whom you are paying to represent you is pretty annoying. Sort of like a boil on […]
Fullerton’s Veritable Serpico Problem
Fullerton, like most departments, has a problem reminiscent of Serpico and this problem is years in the making. This problem is part of the story of the sordid “Culture of Corruption” that was documented after the Kelly Thomas beating. This veritable Serpico problem is a cancer within the system where once in uniform even good […]
Can We Finally Say Good Riddance to Dick Jones?
Word has seeped out from the once hermetically sealed walls of City Hall that we may not have Richard “Dick” Jones, Esq. to kick around much longer. It would seem, if the rumors are true, that Good Ol’ Dick has had enough of screwing the taxpayers of Fullerton with his pettifogging, self-serving legal advice and […]
Meanwhile, Back @ The Ranch – Part 3
Fighting your own incompetent and belligerent government can be distracting. And so rather than be distracted, I’ve been playing catch-up with some more of the doings of our idiocracy since the City’s legal lizards tried to stomp on our 1st Amendment rights. Back on October 1, our esteemed council took on the business of people […]
Meanwhile, Back @ the Ranch – Part 2
When a government sues its own citizens you have the spectacle of a taxpayer having to pay for for his defense and pay for the legal attack upon him. And what a sad, Kafkaesque sight it is. Another disgusting passion play is when governments use your money to try to propagandize you for their scheme […]
Fullerton v. FFFF – New Judge, New Court Dates
Things just keep on moving in the legal battles between us and Fullerton. Yesterday the Hon. Judge Lee ruled that our two cases, Joshua Ferguson v. Fullerton and Fullerton v. FFFF, Joshua Ferguson, et al are related in response to our request for such a ruling. As such we will no longer be gracing Judge […]
Meanwhile, Back @ the Ranch – Part 1
As you Friends can imagine the FFFF industrial complex has been engaged, mano a mano, with the yapping legal beagles employed by the City. But now I take a break from the marblemouthed drone of Dick Jones’s lies to catch up our Dear Readers with other events of the past few months. If you supposed […]
