EPD forced to clean up another Gallegos mess

If you think the District Attorney’s race doesn’t matter, consider the following from Saturday’s Times-Standard regarding the Eureka man who was shot and killed Thursday by the Eureka Police Department: This isn’t the first time [David] Sequoia has been in the public eye for a firearm-related incident.

She sure does get around!

So to speak. And no, that’s not a thinly veiled Hobart-Brown-Halloween-party-the-year-she-wore-the-naughty-nun-outfit reference. Oh fuck it–yes it is. But bygones! This week found our Bon Bon reportedly attending the 2-day Managing Technology conference at the Sheraton Grand in Sacramento. Nice!

Cleary finds a use for some of that money coming out his ass

One of the great things about small-town politics is the absence of high-powered, high-priced campaign management firms. Candidates pretty much across the board rely on local talent–up-and-comers or has-beens who typically bring more energy than expertise to the race. But that’s all part of the fun. Neely had Vogel, and Clendenen used that ass-hat Bill [...]
