Well, turns out Michael Jackson may have been murdered, but the knuckleheads at LAPD may have butchered the prosecution because they failed to secure the crime scene. Why am I not surprised? And for the love of God, will they please plant this guy in the ground.

I don't know if the rest of the world realizes this, but Southern California is on fire again. The so-called "Station Fire" has burned over 120,000 acres and fifty structures. That's almost 200 square miles. There are fires burning in Azusa Canyon, Yucaipa and in the San Jacinto Mountains. And it's not even fire season yet; the notorious Santa Ana winds haven't yet reared their ugly head. I fear things are going to get even nastier than usual this year. This is supposed to be an El Nino year -- mudslides are sure to follow. And we're over-due for a quake on the San Andreas. The four horsemen are at our door.

Why are hot dogs sold in packs of ten, but hot dog buns in packs of eight? You have to buy four packs of hot dogs and five packs of buns to make it work. And then some eight-year old eats a hot dog without a bun and ruins the whole dichotomy.

Why do people feel they have to come to a complete stop to make a right turn? And why do they have to do it from the middle of the street? Why can't any one figure out how a four-way stop works? Driving is not rocket science, people.

Orange County just spent six months putting in a right turn lane at the intersection of Rose and Imperial Highway. A month later they've torn up Imperial to resurface. Couldn't they have done all this at once? Our taxpayer dollars at work.

While I'm at it, the City of La Habra spent eight months putting in a bus stop and fancy crosswalks at the intersection of La Habra and Harbor. The fancy crosswalks are about six inches above the roadway -- they "improved" things by putting speed bumps in a perfectly good intersection. If I'm ever elected God I'll immediately put an end to such "civic improvements."

Former beauty queen Carrie Prejean has sued Miss California officials for libel. Seems she won't be able to testify at the trial because her foot is so firmly planted in her mouth. Will somebody please make this woman go away?
