Post-Traumatic Stress Syndrome

| Image: The same young woman
is shown in both E-R photos from St. Patrick's Day. One photo is happy, the next not so much. Worse yet, I can't tell if she was wearing green. This is exactly why I opposed the party ordinance. Horse kissing should not be illegal. At least not between consenting equines and homosapiens. Luckily, Ty Barbour, one of the E-R's great photographers, caught these images. There's now proof that the local police are cracking down on horse-lovin' in public. Somebody call the ACLU! Better yet, call PETA. Okay maybe that's not what these photos show. Above are two photos of St. Patrick's Day published in the E-R. The left hand image shows a couple of happy gals making nice with the horse-iffer. The second image shows a couple of gals after a good ole-fashioned public brawl. The odd thing is that one of the girls is in both photos. I took my post title from the girl's last name, but I'm not going to reiterate her full name here. I'm sure it's embarrassing enough for the poor girl as things stand. I'm pretty sure the E-R knew what they were doing when they placed these two images in the paper. I wonder what the reasoning was? I think they were highlighting the double-edged sword of alcohol-driven-fun. Or perhaps they wanted people to know that the Chico PD were keeping a very close eye on this blond ruffian. Regardless of the reason, let this be a warning to all of us. Don't let Ty Barbour follow you around! If you do, you will make the news. And it won't all be good. |
| Spotlight: Money talks, so does the Planning Commission: The Chico avenue group CANA expresses concern over Planning Commission micro-management. CANA lobbied for RDA money for neighborhood improvements and received $7.5 million. The Planning Commission wants to review the plan every year and remove the Esplanande from it. I think CANA has it right. You make a plan, the Council okays it, and staff moves it forward. There's no reason to have the Planning Commission making minor adjustments every year. There's only one thing to do about this... I call for the removal of Planning Commissioner Jon Luvaas... again. Guns don't kill people... bullets do: I support the right to bear arms. I'd also like cheetah legs, so I support those as well. Without getting into the Branch Davidian discussions of gun control I think it is an American right to keep weapons at home. I trust myself with a gun like I trust myself with a power tool. Fear of an armed populace is more an indication of a spreading lack of faith in Americans as responsible, individualistic, pioneers. The U.S. Supreme Court will weigh in on this topic soon, and likely in favor of gun owners. |

Gregg,
I should have known you'd get this one. Isn't your room covered with Markie Post paraphenalia? Did Jennifer make you take it all down?

speaking of money talks, Bruce Seesions new blog has something to say about local spending.

No, who needs poster girls when I have Jennifer running around the house?
Besides, that Eighties rock star hairdo looks way too scary for me.

Just be happy I didn't use Marky-Mark.

Yes Lon, we're all happy you are no longer cross dressing. I do think you could still get away with those ear rings though.

Oh, I'm still cross dressing, you can count on that!
