In the Inland Empire there is always an interesting political dynamic afoot.

This one is a beauty.

Sources tell InlandPolitics that San Bernardino County District Attorney Mike Ramos, a Republican, has embarked on an effort to fulfill a commitment he made to Democratic candidate for Governor Edmund “Jerry” Brown.

The commitment? Form a group of local influential Inland Empire Republicans to support Brown in the November showdown with GOP nominee Meg Whitman. Something that would be interesting to say the least, but highly improbable. Continue reading →

I’m feeling very pissy right at this moment because I got kicked out of the courtroom.  I was told I’m on the witness list.  How  the heck can I be on the witness list?  I have not been subpoenaed nor have I been interviewed by EITHER side.   So when were they planning to interview or subpoena me?  After the “not guilty” verdict is read so I can say, “I told you so.”

Aluminum foil aside, I know they have no intention of calling me as a witness.  They never have.  They just want me out of the courtroom so when little Adam and little Andrew testify.

The Sun has already posted a story about testimony this morning, so if you want the nitty gritty, go read that.  Here is my version that you will never read in any newspaper.
