Thirdly, here is Chairman Vern’s musical offering for the week: “El Ropero,” the most beautiful and popular song by Mexican singer/songwriter/children’s radio host Francisco Gavilondo Soler, aka “Cri-Cri.”
This is your Weekend Open Thread. Talk about that, or anything else you’d like, within reasonable bounds of decency and decorum.
Somewhat verbose attorney, semi-disabled and semi-retired, residing in northwest Brea. Occasionally ran for office against jerks who otherwise would have gonr unopposed. Got 45% of the vote against Bob Huff for State Senate in 2012; Josh Newman then won the seat in 2016. In 2014 became the first attorney to challenge OCDA Tony Rackauckas since 2002; Todd Spitzer then won that seat in 2018. Every time he's run against some rotten incumbent, the *next* person to challenge them wins! He's OK with that.
Corrupt party hacks hate him. He's OK with that too.
He does advise some local campaigns informally and (so far) without compensation. (If that last bit changes, he will declare the interest.)
His daughter is a professional campaign treasurer. He doesn't usually know whom she and her firm represent. Whether they do so never influences his endorsements or coverage. (He does have his own strong opinions.) But when he does check campaign finance forms, he is often happily surprised to learn that good candidates he respects often DO hire her firm. (Maybe bad ones are scared off by his relationship with her, but they needn't be.)
She is the shining hope for the plight of Muslim women in oppressive cultures, not to mention our own women-hating culture. When all other prejudices fracture and begin to crumble we can all rest assured that everybody hates girls. They are drowned or discarded at birth, raped and exploited the rest of their lives ( if they are lucky enough to survive infancy), and have their bodies maimed or controlled by forces afraid to allow the expression of womanly, nay, HUMAN,experiences.
The “exemplary” females must still adhere to a strictly administered set of standards that forbid aging, fat, or imperfections.
And the funny thing is, if the horrible dystopia of a world order shared or even GOVERNED by females ever came to pass, the likelihood of vengeance and violence toward the DICKtatorships men have engendered would be gone.Women tend to move forward. Revenge takes negative energy better left aside for raising crops, kids, and consciousness.
Just like the fear and hatred the white slave-holders had about slaves uprising and killing them in their beds. Its the assumption that men have: that the suppression and hatred of women will have consequences they will be responsible for. In their hearts males know it’s wrong to maintain the boot on womens’ throats!
Educated women want to have security for their children, including a place for the children of disparate religions or creeds. Women feel less pressure to overcompensate their political postures , and see the world as a fragile and coexistent reality.
You go girl!
You can call me a dreamer, but I’m not the only one.
*What is truly amazing is that Malala only got half a prize, but she is taking that money to build a building for her Women’s Education Project. This girl was born old and is absolutely a shining example for us all.
If you read only one OC Weekly story this month — and I’m not going to suggest that limiting yourself to that is a good idea — let it be this one by Nick Schou: Kill the Messenger.
It’s good to see a local journalist caring this much about journalism. And it’s a wild and chilling story.
I agree—perfect candidate!
