The Surf City Voice
This new project from Huntington Beach rabble-rouser John Earl (of Orange Coast Voice fame) focuses on political news and entertainment in our home town, and it’s really well-done and fun. Latest entries include
- Invaluable coverage of what’s shaping up to be Orange County’s latest taxpayer ripoff of epic proportions: the proposed Poseidon desalination plant, which will not only be harmful to the ocean and HB neighborhoods, but is already demanding public subsidies (see pliant HB councilmembers in Tim Pham cartoon to right.)
- Coverage of HB’s recent War on Coyotes.
- “Cowabunga” – hard-hitting but hilarious ongoing coverage of HB’s buffoonish Congressman Dana Rohrabacher, the “man who invented surfing.”
- and much more.
The new, improved OC Progressive
I know OCP has been around a year, but you won’t recognize it after the makeover OJ friend and HB council candidate Joe Shaw has put it thru (where does he find the time?) It’s much easier on the eyes, much easier to comment on, and features:
- Heather “Ellinorianne” Pritchard’s indispensable reports from the frontline of the Capo USD wars; writing at Calitics, Daily Kos, Liberal OC, and now finally back at the functioning OCP, her reports have been an urgent palliative to the one-sided teacher/union-bashing you’ve got thus far on this blog. In fact – BREAKING NEWS TODAY – the petition drive to get a recall of nightmarish board members Winsten and Maddox has now got 10,000 more signatures than necessary, in record time!
- The first cynical look at John Lewis’ bogus poll showing Bill Hunt closing in on Sheriff Hutchens.
- Huntington Beach’s Bolsa Chica Wetlands again under siege by developers.
- and much, much more.
We welcome these new voices to the OC blogosphere, and look forward to co-operating with them in, to use the words of Wikileaks’ Julian Assange, “crushing some bastards.” Let us know in comments if there are any other new blogs we should take note of…
Wow, two more sources for lefty tripe. Just what the blogosphere needs.
I’m sorry, Rick, I totally forgot to mention your HolyCoast.com blog, where just these last two days, readers can learn:
How the Congressional Black Caucus is more racist than the Tea Party because you gotta be black to be part of it;
Rick’s tough-guy reaction to Obama’s proposed nuclear reductions: “We need to tell the world that we’re going to have enough weapons to destroy every living thing several times over and enough to bounce the rubble for years thereafter. They better not mess with us. If they leave us alone, we won’t turn their cities into glass-topped parking lots and their people into free-floating atoms.” FEEL THE WOOD!!!
A celebration of how “Sarah Palin does EVERYTHING right!”
Tearful sympathy for an anti-gay preacher briefly detained in Cumbria.
Tearful sympathy for Gulf-despoilers British Petroleum over Interior Secretary Ken Salazar’s tough talk of “keeping a boot on their neck” – Rick explains that it’s really the American people who have Obama’s boot on THEIR necks.
Lots of calling pro-immigrant marchers this weekend “commies.” Oh, May 1 is “Commie Day” at the holy coast.
Encouragement for the GOP to go whole-hog anti-immigrant by backing Arizona’s SB 1070.
ANNE COULTER VIDEOS!
So, if that’s your thing, you all know where to go!
