Obviously…

Well said! I for one don’t want to have to get involved with selecting candidates for office or guiding government policy but reserve the right to complain about the results.

Inquiring minds want to know if Mr. Curtis is a true believer or is he being disingenuous?

Politics as usual is dead and there’s no comparison to Reagan, who I ignorantly voted for, to the Democratic party. What we see here is an aging electorate whose youthful …

“caved to” = bought by

This should be a fun county to watch in November. <grabs popcorn>

This is about the top two primary system, which is a bad system that was fairly close to having us sleepwalk into an accidental Republican governor if not, in part, …

They show up almost like clockwork around Mothers Day, and are often gone by Fathers Day

The people running the Democrats have more in common with Ronald Reagan than they do with Bernie Sanders or AOC.If anything, the last 17 months have been irrefutable evidence that …

Yes, but I read that California as a whole had a larger turnout for this primary. I guess primaries are traditionally low. The numbers for Humboldt coincide with the rest …

What a fabulous piece by Burns on one of the most unique and creative human beings on the planet, our very own Duane Flatmo. (Is he even really from earth?) …

Your such a wanker. The dunes ecosystem did fine for thousands of years without ammophila, it will do fine once it’s gone .

Florida Man has a spokesperson?

You’ll make me limp for the weekend because you’re not.

Oh hell no. But you will make me limp for the weekend because you’re tall?

Pretty large scam that would have required the participation (by oath, mind you) of several thousand people. So, who would that have been? Certainly wasn’t me or my cohorts that …

Like who?

Can we get guarantees this won’t be turned into a Mini-Data Center 10 years down the road? Saw a report that they typically only 4 times this size. Given how …
