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.

Road Rage and Disappointment

This is part deux of a deux, or trois maybe, part thing. Part un of deux parts can be found here.

Invigorated from an evening mowing down constituents in his pickup, Sharuf francis sat down with the board of soups to try his hand again at getting them to pay for his attorney while he figures out what to sue the county for. "Nothing's more rejuvinating than hitting a pedestrian," francis greeted the soups, "I feel great!"

His glee was not long lived.

While slamming his pickup into a pedestrian might have given francis a newfound sense of confidence and a bounce in his step it would take more than that to get what he wanted from the soup.

Seems that the whole soup bowl heard about that guy getting run over by francis and took a dim view of elected types running over voters. Sure hope that guy is ok and his wife practices a different kinda law than civil cause otherwise francis is gonna need another lawyer too.

During the meeting francis decided the best way to get the soups to do what the Poobah wants is to tell the soup group what it is they believe and straighten em out when they don't believe what he wants em to.

For real, here it is in full unicorn pukin' color, now with organic porky pig stuttering!


Seems at least one of the soup had been doing his homework since all this stuff came up and Soup Rob went off to grab his cliff's notes to show francis that he'd been paying attention. When he came back Soup Rob read some of the law paper gobbledy-gook and he and francis argued about who could read better since francis said he'd read the same thing but included stuff that wasn't in Soup Rob's cliff notes.

Then the waffler weighed in and, lo and behold, he kinda seemed to have changed course on the whole deal. Shocker. Seems Tony had talked to Donny DA and Donny told him it would be ok to save some dough if the in-house lawyer people could do it with a used Cone of Silence from that old TV show where that guy drove that bombin Sunbeam Tiger.

Anyway this Cone of Silence deal is supposed to make it so somebody in the county lawyer place can do whatever it is francis wants without spending a whole lot of dough or something. It'll be interesting to see how that works out and if francis goes for it or does something stupid instead.

My hunch is that its probably not what francis wants, so maybe we'll get part trois!

But the most important thing is francis has friends to rely on, like the two guys in this next video, the scrubbing bubble and john Coke and a smile.

I wonder why they call him coke and a smile?
