Thus spaketh Lou Ponsi who seems to be doing his level best to avoid real news and even to parrot the nonsense peddled by the anti-recall crowd. Ponsi seems really impressed with banners stating how much folks love Fullerton. Ponsi doesn’t seem interested that the operation is the brainchild of downtown businesses who have profited […]
Chronic Failure
Quirk-Silva Gets Opportunity To Do The Right Thing. Then Doesn’t.
Tuesday was a big day for Fullerton Mayor Sharon Quirk Silva. Only the day before Quirk-Silva had issued a bold press release to her pals in the liberal blogosphere stating that she was going to request that her colleagues on the city council suspend the illegal 10% water tax. She even helpfully explained why the […]
Oh, Damn. Another FPD Brutality Lawsuit in Federal Court
Nearly a year ago FFFF started what would turn into a long string of investigations into the FPD Culture of Corruption by telling the tale of a young man who claimed that he was beaten and abused by Fullerton cops during a downtown arrest. There were plenty of skeptics here, and there was a barrage […]
Water Main Breaks In Front of Water Reformer’s House
The irony, astonishing. The coincidence, unnerving. The big picture, never clearer. If you could choose a place to break a water line, would this be at the top or bottom of the list? It’s in front of my house this morning…again! This is just around the corner from the house that exploded yesterday and has […]
Asleep At Switch, Bankhead Waterboards Self Fighting For Illegal Tax
When the topic of the Fullerton’s illegal 10% water tax was brought up the other night, Councilmember Bruce Whitaker was right there to propose agendizing the immediate suspension of the tax. And Triassic, soon-to-be recalled Don Bankhead was there to stall, stall, stall. The funny thing is that Bankhead cited his presence at the Water […]
Welcome To The Third World?
Imagine your delight when a faithful Fullerton public works crew shows up to repair those potholes that you and your neighbors have been asking the city to fix. Well, you really are delighted, especially since all records of your original calls were lost by the city. Then imagine your disappointment when the city employee drives […]
New Lawsuit For Fullerton
It never rains, but it pours, as some folks say. It seems that the City of Fullerton has been hit with yet another lawsuit, which likely means more payout from us and more pelf for the City’s contracted attorney, Dick Jones (no, the other meat head). Lou Ponsi of the OC Register, writes about the […]
Water Wars Continue
Teri Sforza of the OC Register has done another piece on Fullerton’s fraudulent 10% water tax and the equally fraudulent study commissioned by the City Council to justify keeping as much of the tax as they can. Naturally the consultant ginned up some phony rent value for City owned property that water reservoirs sit on! […]
Pat McKinley’s Benchmark of Excellence: Albert Rincon GOD MODE ACTIVATED
Reflecting on the FPD career of Albert Rincon, the man accused of serially sexually assaulting women in the back of his patrol car, made me think about the creep that hired him, and the standards that were applied to the recruit. We have seen from the facebook page of “Albey Al” a preening, self-absorbed, utterly […]
Justice for Dean: Protest Held in Fullerton Over Man’s Suicide in Police Jail Cell
So reports the LA Times, right here. It seems that the family of Dean Francis Gochenour believes the FPD’s treatment of their family member left a lot to be desired. Gochenour entered the FPD jail alive on the night of April 14, 2011. He left it dead on April 15th. Gochenour is claimed to have […]
How To Turn a Paramedic Call Into a SWAT Nightmare
Guess what, Friends? Last month the City of Fullerton got sued again – stemming from an FPD incident in 2005. We have thoughtfully attached a copy of the complaint, below. According to the complaint, some dude named Ernest Benefiel took some sleeping pills in a locked bedroom. Naturally, Benefiel fell asleep. His elderly father, concerned, […]
The Blank Screen
Here is City Councilman Don Bankhead, who wants to propose changes to the recommended City position on High Speed Rail. For a while he seems to think he knows what he’s talking about. Oops. Now we’ll never know what Bankhead thought was necessary to delete before his screen went dark.
Ackerman Trying to Sell His Lemons, But No One Wants Lemonade.
I have it on good authority that anti-recall team captain Dick Ackerman has been diligently hounding OC Register personnel to start flogging the wonderful deeds accomplished by the Three Rotten Eggs, Dick Jones, Don Bankhead, and Pat McPension. Will it work? It’s hard to see how. Two of the three are career public employees with […]
Oh, No. Not Again! Another Black Eye For The FPD.
The Fullerton FPD Culture of Corruption just got a new inductee into its Hall of Shame today, as reported by the OC Register’s Sean Emery, here. It seems that FPD employee April Baughman, 52, is cooling her heels in the County jail, alleged to have swiped cash from the FPD property room for – get […]
Moorlach Swing. Moorlach Miss.
And now for some County news. Our crazy, ever more left-leaning affiliates at the Orange Juice Blog reported on a story here, about 2nd District Supervisor John Moorlach and his quest to give himself another term in office (there is currently an eight consecutive year limit). His proposal was to amend the County Charter to […]
Larry Bennett’s Hot Air Balloon Deflated. Again.
A few weeks ago Larry Bennett posted some wild-ass claim on his website that the Recall had broken some rule about reporting expenses . He was threatening to call the Fair Political Practices Commission by February 22. In the words of Doc HeeHaw, it looks like Larry’s a-steppin’ on his own weenie, again. Our Recall […]
The Jackass Vanishes
Enjoy the spectacle of the Incredible Disappearing Donkey, as F. “Dick” Jones gits up off’n’ his backside to bug out on a council meeting and git on home to his vittles, incoherently mumblin’ some nonsense. The Mayor even bids him goodnight. But what’s this? Mumbles reappears just minutes later, perhaps deciding that being a rude […]
Fullerton’s Jim Blake Is A TV Star
Well, the Fullerton Culture of Corruption is in the news again, and, naturally, not in a good way. The star of the show is Fullerton’s own Jim Blake. Here is a CBS undercover report on Metropolitan Water District board members wining and dining themselves on our dime – even as they keep jacking up the […]
Don’t Get Your Hopes Up. I’m Not.
Today Fullerton will be favored with the first installment of reports produced by Michael Gennaco. The one tonight is supposed to deal with the FPD PR apparatus and the way it disseminated information in the wake of the Kelly Thomas killing by members of the FPD. We’ve editorialized plenty on what was said (self-serving claptrap), […]
