Neely for Congress, Gallegos for Assembly, Clendenen for Mayor McCheese?

Congresswoman Neely? Assemblyman Gallegos? Get ready for your election gossip roundup. Word around town is that Bonnie Neely is itching to get back into the political game following her  ignominious defeat by Virginia Bass in November. But will she try to go from failed county supervisor to First District U.S. Congresswoman? An endorsement from Mike Thompson, who [...]

New Coastal Commission chair fired for being as big a prick as the last one

Coastal Commission chairpersons might have to put themselves on some kind of endangered species list. First, Humboldt County voters remove one–former District Four Supervisor Bonnie Neely. Now her successor, Sara Wan, loses her political appointment for double-crossing a former aide to John Burton–who just so happened to be the man who appointed her to the [...]

Good thing we don’t have tornadoes around here

Someone told her, right?

How do you figure?

WordPress comes equipped with all sorts of helpful information as part of its blog hosting service. We especially like the list of search terms it provides that show which words and phrases people typed into their computer to land at the Humboldt Mirror. Really? Light testicle spanking?

Patriot games

The Redwood Chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union pulled out all the stops recently when members presented our good friend Bonnie Neely with the annual Patriot Award, the chapter’s highest honor. It was given, according to a blurb in the Times-Standard, “in recognition of her contributions to civil liberties during her 24 years of public service.” These contributions [...]

Times-Standard unveils new front-page job search service for unpopular former bureaucrats

 According to the Times-Standard, deposed supervisor Bonnie Neely is tanned, rested and ready for her next job. Like Nixon, only with a pulse. To read the homage, which purports to be a news article, is to come face to face with a combination of desperation and wishful revisionism not often found outside a Craigslist Missed Connection ad. [...]

Love always, Bonnie Neely

Did we know the Bon Bon was good friends with Neal Latt? Yes, the overbearing ”organic farmer” (*cough*) who spends his life telling everyone how wrong and stupid they are. That Neal Latt. Maybe you knew it. We did not. But looky what someone slipped under our door. An old letter the former supervisor wrote in support of the obnoxious asshat’s application to law school. Not terribly important [...]

Neely to lead Team Humboldt into legit pot growing future?

What is a washed up career politician to do when the sweet nourishing milk from the generous taxpayers’ teats runs dry? Former Fourth District Supervisor Bonnie Neely, made jobless by voters in November’s election, might have her eye on the lucrative pot industry. Why not? Former Eureka City Councilman Chris Kerrigan made the transition easily [...]

Look what I got from Santa. WTF?

 

It’s beginning to look a lot like retirement

With all of the free time on her hands following her recent loss in an unsuccessful bid for a 37th term as Fourth District Supervisor, Neely can finally get back to basics: Sharing a home-cooked meal with friends. Soaking in all of those sweet holiday festivities. Planning world domination.  Yadda yadda yadda…

Oh unemployment, where is thy sting-a-ling-a-ling?

Okay, FYI, for all you literalists out there, we do actually know the 12 days of Christmas don’t start for another 10 or so days. But really. Who wants to see a bunch of Christmas crap after the holiday? Not us. And–we’re guessing–not our good friend dog, for whom we have left a delicate morsel on [...]

And all the Munchkins did rejoice

Today was the last Board of Supervisors meeting for Bonnie Neely, who was kicked to the curb by Fourth District voters after 24 loooooong years in office. There were water works o’ plenty in the board chamber this morning, some of it sincere, as political types bade farewell to one of the most polaraizing figures in Humboldt County [...]

Afterhours video surfaces from Elections Office security cam

  The official and final vote tally is supposed to be released today, according to the top Elections Office honcho Carolyn Crnich.

Picture this

Who knows where the Graphics Dept. finds this shit, but it looks to us like it could be a shot from a fundraiser–for Bonnie Neely. As John Osborn notes on the NCJ Blogthing, Ms. Neely finally managed to round up some campaign cash from inside Humboldt County–particularly the southern part thereof. While one might expect a District [...]
