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.

Sacred Sites and Snaky Places

This is a pretty cool place to live if you can't afford "for-profit" entertainment like me. So I get to watch TV sometimes and listen to the radio or whatever like today. Today those people that are 'in charge' of the county got a taste of some of the county's finest free entertainment and since I left the TV on I got to enjoy it too.

The show today was about this guy who bought this snake island and then some other folks decided that it was theirs the whole time. So they all went to the meeting today. John went with a bunch of attorneys since its really hard to own anything without a lawyer I guess and all these other interesting folk showed up too.

Evidently they don't have any serious money so they want that guy to give them that island because they like snakes or something. The best part was when this guy Howard Chavez sang that other guy a song so he'd give them the island. This other dude, Wounded Knee, took a less direct approach and sounded more like James Cagney in some gangster flick "Look here, see, sacred sites can be scary, see, bad stuff can happen, see.

We all knew what Mr. Knee really meant 'give up the island or we're gonna send some dead people over there to haunt you buddy.'


Nothing says dignified like a gumby shirt and plaid shorts...
