Neely to Announce Latest Campaign Miracle

It’s been no secret that Fourth District Supervisor Bonnie Neely’s campaign to secure an astounding seventh term in office is largely built around the assertion that she’s spontaneously and miraculously generated the ability to find “solutions to get Eureka working again.” That’s after 24 years of warming up for that big moment as Neely collected [...]

Neely finally infiltrates T-S staff

Bonnie Neely, the Fourth District Supervisor and California Coastal Commission chair, writing “for the Times-Standard” reminded voters today that during her quarter century in office she’s done virtually nothing as the representative of the relevant jurisdiction with respect to the Balloon Track property, it’s cleanup and any hopes of generating jobs through its conversion to [...]

Hislop and Gallegos: Two peas in a sociopathic pod

For those of you who were wowed by sheriff candidate Mike Hislop’s impressive curriculum vitae, you might have to find something new to love. In a news release last week, Hislop all but fessed up to previously fudging his academic credentials. Whereas his ballot statement boasts of “four (4) college degrees, two in criminal justice,” [...]

Balloon Track: The Prequel

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away….

This one came in the form of an advertisement which states Gags “won” a million-dollar judgment against Big Oil and Tire [...]

Neely love-child rumors gain traction

The edumacation of Mike Hislop

So just a little follow-up question for Sheriff-wannabe Mike-o “The Psycho” Hislop: Did you know–and we’re just asking here–but, were you aware that when padding the ol’ ballot statement to try to convince the unwary of your, shall we say, intellectual firepower–it’s generally a good idea to make sure that the “four (4) college degrees” [...]

Thanks again Baykeeper

The T-S’s envirosycaphant John Driscoll reported today that the NEC will happily accept a government handout to clean up it’s carcinogenic hotspot property in Arcata. The $200,000 grant from the EPA, courtesy of us taxpayers, will clean perchloroethylene from the contaminated soil that once sat below a dry cleaner and housed the NEC’s headquarters before [...]

Asleep at the Wheel (LIVE!)

Thanks to the good people at KEET Channel 13 and the League of Women Voters for the opportunity to see and hear in High Definition just what a douche District Attorney Paul Gallegos is. UPDATE 7:17 p.m. What is the worst drug problem in the county? Allison Jackson: Methamphetamine! Paul Hagen: “Hands down” methamphetamine! Paul [...]
