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.

Peppers and Mayhem

I kinda like spicy grub sometimes, not all the time but every now and again I'll get one of those Santa Fe chalupa deals over at El Taco de Bell if they're doing one of those cool deals where they give you extra stuff like a giant size soda or a side of those nachos with those spicy peppers all smothered in that plasto cheese sauce stuff or whatever.

29.5% of daily fat!
I'm more likely to take the bait if its not one of those monster sodas though since most of the time when I get one I can't finish the whole thing before it gets all warm and nasty so I leave it someplace in the singlewide and the next thing I know theres an flotilla of ants crawling around in my Cap'n Crunch and I don't notice til after the first big bite. I used to wonder why they were so spicy until it had happened so many times the novelty totally wore off and now I struggle to swallow the cereal once I discover its been colonized by those 8 legged cereal lovin' bastards.

Why do they like my cereal so much anyway? They never eat any as far as I can tell and there's usually some dead soldier left in there littered about like ice cream sprinkles when they move on to wherever it is they go when they're done screwing around in my cereal so its not like its good for them. Whatever, its enough for me to just wonder at the mysteries.

Anyway, like I was saying I like authentic spicy food like El Taco de Bell because they use those little peppers that look pretty fierce but are really just only slightly more alarms than your average pickle. Not the sweet pickles though since those aren't spicy at all.

I think they call those peppers halapaino or something.

There's this other kinda pepper I've never tried because somebody warned me that it wasn't the kind of spicy I was acquainted with and it might create issues during the morning consitutional, if you know what I mean. I was reminded of that other pepper the other day when I was reading that news blog place that isn't the Bee. Since the Bee went to the five story limit I've had to give up my love of reading all those columns they write. I really liked those because they aren't hard to read.

Hostile pepper
Now I'm stuck with the other one where they write on and on and on in those long stories that have every freakin' detail I didn't care about in the first place. At least they have comments over there so when I get bored with the story I can find out what's really going on. Its almost as much fun as reading Francis' propaganda blog but I don't want to comment there because they don't seem to have much of a sense of humor and they might ban me like they did with the Scrubbing Bubble only I don't have a radio show to go whine about it.

Which brings me to my point.


Those other peppers I haven't tried are spelled just like that guys name that shot that other guy over some gal but I don't really know the details since the story was too long but I guess he was a hot-head and that kinda makes sense since he's named after a pepper.
