Sowing good will at the sheriff’s office
If you would like to buy me lunch I will be in Hollister all of
next week. I am filing charges against Sheriff Curtis Hill for
almost killing me.
Killing me with laughter. A former female deputy sheriff brings
up sexual harassment charges and forced sex against the sheriff’s
department and some of its members.
Sowing good will at the sheriff’s office
If you would like to buy me lunch I will be in Hollister all of next week. I am filing charges against Sheriff Curtis Hill for almost killing me.
Killing me with laughter. A former female deputy sheriff brings up sexual harassment charges and forced sex against the sheriff’s department and some of its members.
Sheriff Hill replies to the charges, and I quote, “we are too busy doing good will in the community to get involved in someone’s personal drama.”
Sheriff Hill too busy doing good will in the community to take sexual harassment charges seriously? Just as in the former Deputy Mike Rodrigues case still pending, the sheriff and his crack detectives didn’t see or hear anything despite everyone in Hollister knowing. In both cases early intervention by the sheriff could have saved the deputies and, more importantly, a young man would still be alive. But the sheriff is too busy spreading good will around Hollister. A show of hands, please, of all of you who have been the recipients of the sheriff’s and his department’s good will. Well, at least he’s funny and should be Jay Leno’s replacement. Heeeeere’s Curtis!
Four years ago the country was nowhere near as bad off emotionally as it is today but the Democrats and the press couldn’t help but blast Bush for the costly inaugural balls and parties. The economy is the worst since World War II yet President Obama spends $42 million on balls. For that kind of money, they’d better be gold plated balls.
I refuse to attend the Academy Awards and I don’t care how much Jack begs. No Best Picture nomination for Clint Eastwood’s “Gran Torino.” Even more egregious, they nominate Brad Pitt but not Clint Eastwood for Best Actor. The Academy Awards have never given Eastwood a Best Actor award but Emil Jennings not only gets the nomination but wins. I refused to attend that one too. Emil Jennings? Aye chee waa waa. Better they give it to Pedro Gonzalez Gonzalez.
Mr. and Mrs. “Got Rocks” are thinking of bringing their warehouse business to Hollister that employs 169 workers. “Before we decide on Hollister, honey, let’s subscribe to their newspapers. The Pinnacle has some nice features with something for our entire family. We’ll have to keep that Venzykulu column away from Grannie.”
Now the Free Lance. Every week the biggest feature is the Most Wanted mug shots of local two-bit criminals made to look like Bonnie, Clyde and Nixon. Not satisfied with the lurid most wanted photos, now the Free Lance adds a quarter page-plus map of Hollister where current crimes have occurred, accompanied by matching numbers to a synopsis of the crime. Assault, Wentz Alley; vandalism, Hillcrest Road; battery, Caputo Court; assault with a deadly weapon, La Baig Drive; theft on Fifth Street, robbery on San Benito Street and Curtis Hill impersonating a sheriff.
To that add speeding as Mr. and Mrs. Got Rocks get the hell out of Hollister and take their warehouse and 169 local jobs elsewhere.
Glenn Close finally received her star on Hollywood’s walk of fame. The last time I saw Close up close was when we were living in San Francisco and she was “just” a stage actress and performing in “Barnum.” Famed movie director George Roy Hill (“The Sting,” “Butch Cassidy”) also attended one of those performances and was entranced as we were with her. He signed her up for her first film, “The World According to Garp,” in 1982. It starred Robin Williams before he sold out and John Lithgow who never sold out.
The answer to last week’s Quick Quiz was when I attended the festivities 37 years ago for the world premiere of “Dirty Harry,” they announced something I never heard before or since at a premiere: plenty of seats for the general public. They had hoped the Zodiac killer would be vain enough to attend.
This week’s Quick Quiz with 569 bonus points should be easy for those of you who remember where you were when Emil Jennings won his Oscar. How in the hell did “Shakespeare in Love,” the most forgettable movie ever made, beat out Steven Spielberg’s “Saving Private Ryan” for Best Picture?
Love the controversy over Aretha Franklin’s hat that she wore when she sang at the Obama swearing in. The only great moment of the inauguration. I have been around politicians most of my life. My brother Tito was mayor of Hollister in the early 1960s and I don’t worry how they dress. I just would be happy if some of them would only take a shower.
