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 [...]

Lovelace roadtrips to Sactown to lobby for Coastal Commission seat

Petitioners call Lovelace a potential “embarrassment” to Governor

A petition Mark Lovelace circulated to get Mark Lovelace appointed to the California Coastal Commission has been seriously upstaged by a competing petition titled “Mark Lovelace is wrong for California.” The petition does a good job of stating the obvious: Mark Lovelace fails to recognize the need for balance between economic growth and environmental preservation. [...]

Luck of the Dumbass

In celebration of St. Patrick’s Day, we are sending along our best unlucky wishes to the diminutive and wee-genitaled leprechaun Mark Lovelace in his second bid to land a seat on the California Coastal Commission. Although we would sleep a lot easier with a Mark Wheetley appointment, the Arcata City Council voted recently to throw [...]

Governor gives Lovelace new opportunity to be obsequious little prick, emphasis on “little” (and “prick”)

The land of second chances lived up to its reputation for one diminutive supervisor yesterday when Governor Brown reversed the recent appointment of Ken Zanzi to the California Coastal Commission. All that remains to be seen now is how many people and processes Mark Lovelace will gleefully trample to get his own hyper-ambitious self appointed to fill [...]

Del Norte County to Mark Lovelace: Spank!–now with double-spank update!!

We begin with a correction. A post a few days back said Mark Lovelace’s gift for self-promotion went “entirely unappreciated” by our neighbors to the north who pooh-poohed his written request that basically everyone, everywhere, back his nomination to the California Coastal Commission. In fact, his extraordinary suck-up skills left an impression after all, although perhaps [...]

Crescent City cockblocks Coastal Commission climber

Lovelace ‘actively seeking’ Coastal Commission seat

In related news, Humboldt County is actively seeking a swift kick in its collective taco. Fortunately, the Wee Wonder has extensive experience dealing with wetlands and other critical habitats.

The blind leading the inbred

That poor open-minded Coastal Commission. Mercilessly snubbed by the dastardly CUE VI! The humanity!! Oh well. After a full day of quashing free enterprise, the commissioners retired to Patty Berg’s house for a Bon Bon fundraiser. Because that, friends, is what impartiality is all about. By the way: Anyone know why the Coastal Commission is [...]
