Welcome to the richest hick town in California.

Our local rag, the Orange County Register, now has a "blog".

In their case this means boring, self-satisfied right-wing slop. It's not even a blog really. No commenting, no syndication. It's all the high-quality writing and careful fact checking of the bloggers with all the spontaneity and interactivity of a newspaper! I think I'd rather watch FOX News. Their goebbeling is snappier and sometimes there are cute girls in the shampoo ads.

It does have these losers' email on it, though, so you can goatse them at least.

Yes, we are still a provincial backwater with no style or class. We're just a very, very rich one these days.

Today's news was a Kids in the Hall sketch

I submit to you:

1. American Indians! Rich people! Howard Stern! West Egg! RON VIBBENTROP!!!!

2. Iqualiut residents of Nunavut show their support for Gay Pride!!!

One rich twat idiot story, and one heartwarming and somewhat comic Canadian Tundra Gay People story. Yeah, it's Premise Beach all right.

Truck jump gone a bit wrong

A Prerunner jump contest results in spectacular failure.
