"Did the Japanese sit down with Pearl Harbor before they bombed them?"*

Democrat Loretta Sanchez (CA-49, central Orange County, CA) is running against Republican Van Tran and she had a special message regarding Vietnamese voters in her district that she shared on Spanish-language Univision.









* There's just always been something about race-baiting and/or racially-tinged rants that remind us of the late Jerome Brown, then defensive tackle for the Miami Hurricanes, on his team's refusal to break bread with the Penn State Nittany Lions on the eve of the 1987 Fiesta Bowl. The heavily-favored 'Canes were upset by Penn St., 14-10. Karma, you say? Perhaps.

This one's for you, Pops!

Road Trip!



If I was an eagle I'd dress like a duck
Crawl like a lizard and honk like a truck
If I get a notion I'll climb this tree
or chop it down and you can't stop me
Chop it down and you can't stop me

Ooo, freedom
Ooo, liberty
Ooo, leave me alone
To find my own way home
To find my own way home

W.C. Varones was up at the Orange County Tea Party in Laguna Hills on Saturday. His pics and some thoughts on the affair here.

With apologies to Uncle Joe...

Check out Irvine, California city councilman, Steven Choi protesting headline speaker Nancy Pelosi at the Democratic Party of Orange County’s 15th Annual Harry Truman Awards last Friday.



That’s Pelosi on Choi’s cocktail napkin, hoisting aloft a young fair-headed commie enthusiast which is a photo-chop of the iconic Joseph Stalin image below.



The San Francisco Chronicle duly notes in reporting this that Stalin was a Soviet dictator “who killed millions under his Great Terror campaign.”

And local area blogger Dan Chmielewski in a post at The LiberalOC had this to say:

To portray Pelosi as Stalin, a mass murderer of millions during his reign of power, is nothing short of outrageous. Choi owes the Speaker an apology. He owes his fellow city council members an apology. He owes the residents of this city an apology for his embarassing antics.

Resign your position Dr. Choi; you are not fit to serve as an elected official in Irvine. Your offensive behavior is a black eye on Irvine’s place as a city of tolerance and influence.

(italics, ours)

We're just marveling at the fact that it takes a Republican congressman and his ham-fisted "protest" to cause some people to suddenly snap out of decades-long Murderous Tyrant Denial Syndrome.

Hey, it's a start and we'll take it!

Radio KBwD is on the air.... in a manner of speaking

We're up in Orange County this weekend for the wedding of a very good friend. No real reason for this post other than we can't seem to get this song out of our head. That, and our friend, "Miguel" is a big fan of Beck's and there is a wedding reception scene (or so it looks) at the end of the video. So, there you have it. Great song with tasty hooks and those Mad Magazine back cover fold-ups! Ladies and Gentlemen: Beck's "Girl"
