Once in a while somebody will try to convince me of some fake stuff and I always tell myself when that happens that it reveals interesting stuff about them. Kinda like when the big kids fed me a yummy slice of sun dried mud and told me it was a pie. It didn't taste like pie and it was kinda gritty but I ate it all and licked my fingers just to show her what I was made of.
Sheriff Francis' friends like to make mud pies too. They told us all about how wonderful he'd be and what a great guy he was, they even put some stuff on their nifty propaganda blog for us all to look at so we'd know how fantastically lucky we are to have him.
Most of the stuff Francis puts on his blog is clearly just there for fun because everybody knows what a kidder he is. Like the stuff about having wide support for example. Other stuff is fun too. Like how Francis is the first Hispanic Sheriff in California. I thought that was pretty exciting til some meany face pointed out that, no, he isn't the state's first Hispanic Sheriff since some guy in LA was elected way back in '98 and he's Hispanic too.
Now maybe that makes whoever wrote that he was the first Hispanic Sheriff a liar or maybe it just makes em too dumb for words. Whatver the case, instead of going 'oh' we made a mistake they went and deleted that post that pointed out they'd made a mistake.
Personally I'm ok with Francis calling himself the first Hispanic Sheriff on the Internet even if it isn't true since he's got a pretty low truthiness score across the board anyway and when you compare the false stuff that doesn't really rank all that high. Frankly, that's a word that used to mean honest, I'd be disappointed if that endless droning that comes out of his mouth and is posted on his blog turned out to be factual.
But that's just me.
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.
