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.

Rivero's Wranglers

After getting kicked repeatedly in the nuts for opening his mouth and spewing whatever crazy came to mind, Francis has finally resorted to dragging around an entourage of similarly whack-minded psychophants to help keep him calm and tell him what a great job he's doing so he can ignore all those other folks telling it to him straight.
Rivero's Wranglers
A wrangler sighting occurred Wednesday night in Clearlake when Rivero showed up to the townhall deal in Clearlake where lots of lost fools lurched at the opportunity to blather at a captive audience.

The wrangler group included Olga Martin-Steele, Jim Steele, Becky Curry, Ron Green, Jim Swatts Dr. John Zebelean, some tweaker and even God fearin' minister Mitch Rogers who seized the opportunity to start an impromptu revival meeting complete with the Lord's name and all.

-|Lord please don't strike me or Muabladar with lightening, where the hell is Muabladar anyway?|-

Now I'm not for sure if the tweaker was an official Rivero Wrangler but he seemed to recall Frank's time as the Sheriff of San Francisco in the midst of a staccato yammering about kids and prison and stuff.

"And I want to know what you're going to do to help the kids, because..., but, and I was in prison and I know what it means to need things to do and my cellmate... but the kids," said the tweaker.

Respect my authoritah!
The whole sordid mess took place under the sober eyes of actual law enforcement types who didn't seem particularly amused.

While the whole shebang had all the markings of a gathering of the minions from the Overlook hotel in that book 'The Shining,' nobody got totally out of hand and I didn't spot the twins or that freaky seductress that turned out to be a corpse but it was still pretty wierd.

At one point somebody asked what the heck law enforcement was going to do to bring the bizarro-land of Clearlake back into the fold of the sane and Francis jumped up to take the helm. He then gave a campaign speech of sorts. Appears he, like so many others, still hasn't gotten comfortable with the fact that he won the election.

Donny DA missed the party but his name did come up and it seemed to strike fear into the heart of Francis who appeared concerned that Donny was going to hook him up and make him spend the night with his pals at the jail.

Then Francis scuttled back over to the wating wrangler gaggle for some positive feedback. Its a good thing those folks are willing to help mold Francis in their image because he really sucked hard at doing it on his own. Everyboy should have some friends, even this crew.
