What in the hell is going on around here?

What in the hell is going on around here?
Background for the un-initiated:

November 2010 saw Francisco Rivero elected on platform of transparency and reform with the help of an indicted pot grower and a character assassination blog. Not quite our proudest day but not as bad as some other days. Actually the jury is still out on this one so stay tuned.
Francisco didn't like anything or anyone remotely associated with the former Sheriff so he set out wiping the slate clean by changing the deputies uniforms, destroying the Office of Emergency Services, firing volunteer reserves, demoting some officers and promoting others, taking away correctional officers guns and coffee then giving them a cartoon badge, unplugging the kitchen at the Lowerlake substation,alienating every other law enforcement agency in this county and those of neighboring Mendocino, picking fights with local government officials and squabbling with the state and the county over courthouse security which it turned out wasn't his call.

And then things got weird.

Syrup for your waffle Francis?



Saturday our pusillanimous Sheriff was more slippery than a well-oiled midget and completely unable to accept any responsibility for his role in the problems he's facing during the radio show with Herb Gura. Gura, to his credit, didn't simply give Francis a pass and even told him he wanted to forego the usual mutual appreciation crap and ask some questions.

After a bit Francis asked what the "angst" was about leading to the questions. Guess he's schizo on top of sociopathic and doesn't know what his alter ego is up to.

Gura tried to suggest that Francis the Sheriff should appreciate the concept of trying to work with other officials but didn't seem to make a dent in Francis' inability to put things in perspective.

A couple of Francis' klingons called to suck up and then the show got lively. Suck-up number two needs to get a better cellphone because the shitty one he was using is probably the cause of the brain tumor that he clearly suffers from. The reception sucked too.

The sounds of a sobbing infant heralded Rob Brown's call into the station during a call with Ron Green and it wasn't clear whether Green was crying or not but it turned out that Brown was playing baby sitter or day care and did the show with wailing child accompaniment.

Apparently Brown, Rivero and Gura had been exchanging some pointed emails just prior to the show and the studio was transformed into Rivero's house of waffle.
Brown pinned Rivero to the mat but he squirmed, wiggled and managed to completely avoid giving straight answers though he did say he says whats on his mind.

I figure Francis has some serious synapse problem or something of the sort since the boy just couldn't track right and never did provide a solid answer, the apology Rob is angling for anything resembling gravitas.

The show ended too soon just as Brown was schooling Francis on who investigates whom.

Just another freaky day in the weird zone though it appears that KPFZ may be making the first awkward lurches toward redemption. Herb, you gave it the old college try but reasoning with the insane is simply not possible.
