Tar and Feathers – For What?
Tuesday, Jun 17, 2014

It is all a matter of perspective. In big and bold letters, the headline read, “Trial of the Century.” It wasn’t THE trial of the century. I think there are two trials of the 20th Century, both following World War II. Nuremberg and Tokyo had the real trials of the century. War criminals were brought...

Red Tape and a Full Moon
Friday, Jun 13, 2014

I love it when someone uses a bunch of statistics to explain why something did or didn’t happen in an election. I just read one of those about why the Democrats didn’t win one of the top two slots in the 25th Congressional District in the recent primary election. After all I read, it comes down to...

The Rain Falls Mainly On the Brain
Thursday, May 22, 2014

OK. I’m home. It rained today. Felt good. Dust is settled a little. What is wrong with this picture? It is May. Late May. We had rain. I guess it isn’t that unusual, but isn’t there a law that says it cannot rain in Southern California after May 15? Hey, TimBen … You missed the point to my commentary....

Conduct Unbecoming
Friday, May 16, 2014

Is it this… “A great conspiracy has been thwarted. Elected officials have been put ‘it their place.’ The people will be heard.” … or this? “Lots of people signed something they really knew nothing about, and now it is going to cost the City of Santa Clarita.” I think baseball...

Billboard Petitioners Deliver 11K-Plus Names to City Hall (UPDATED)
Sunday, May 4, 2014

[KHTS] – The opposition to a Santa Clarita–Metro deal to bring three large, two-sided electronic billboards next to Interstate 5 and Highway 14 and take down 118 smaller ones throughout the city handed over more than 11,000 signatures to the city Monday, officials said. A Facebook...

Burma Shave Billboards, Anyone?

Some of us remember the days when we had so many billboards in our valley that we were concerned for our safety during high winds because they might fall over on the roads. Large wood structures that were also prone to fires. If there is any road side signage that I really miss, it has to be the Burma...

Billboard Referendum Effort Faces Monday Deadline
Thursday, May 1, 2014

[KHTS] – With a May 5 deadline approaching for a referendum regarding a controversial partnership between Santa Clarita and Metro for electronic billboards, the activity around signature-gathering seems to have intensified. Santa Clarita City Council voted 3-1 back in March to OK a plan...

Doing Right, Eventually
Tuesday, Apr 29, 2014

Unless you really wrangle cattle for a living or are a Western musician, it is time to put away the boots, chaps, hats and big belt buckles. Reality returns to the SCV for another year. (Assuming we had any reality to start.) Cowboy Festival No. 21 is now history. “You can always count on Americans...
