Tim Donnelly's ad on You Tube Hilarious
Although we realize he was pretending not to understand the Spanish translation by an actress on the ad he did, we enjoyed it because the translation was the way we feel about hunting.
Donnelly had spewed on about hunting and guns and the actress said in Spanish that she hates hunting and doesn't believe in torturing animals. Go watch it if you get a chance.

What kind of Calaveras County MORON?
 |
| If,,,,,,, |
We have to ask the question: What kind of MORON acts as if he's a talking head for FOX News at every Calaveras Supervisors meeting, and makes a total fool of themselves by demanding that a private road (on which he owns a small house) be paved by the Calaveras County Public Works Department.
Is this person a political appointee to anything? Does this type of person head up and is practically the only real member of a little respected organization? Is this the same person who has stood up and called people "murderers" at a recent Calaveras Supervisor meetings. Should the Sheriff's
Department be requested to do a "wellness check" on this person?
Calaveras Supervisor Spellman Bribe Claim Quote
On one occasion, Calaveras Supervisor Spellman of Rancho Calaveras claimed that"....I was offered not hundreds, but thousands of dollars for my preferential understanding of what goes on at Lake Tulloch currently and I declined.
And some of those people that made the offers of those thousands of dollars are in this very room today. I will not identify them....". According to County Counsel Spellman never reported this attempted bribe. HUH? Doesn't that make him at least as corrupt as those who HE CLAIMS attempted to bribe him?

Calaveras Sheriff forcing PTSD testing?
Supervisor Cliff Edson announced at the last Calaveras Board of Supervisors meeting (after deep prayer), that he had met with the Sheriff's Office and plans are being made to make changes to their arrest of veterans.
Edson stated that the Sheriff's Office apparently plans to force veterans who are arrested to undergo a test for PTSD in order to get them into treatment. Apparently there are many veterans out there who need treatment, but have previously refused. We are not sure how this would work or if it is legal. Will VETERANS like this idea????

Deadline to register passed..
As the deadline to register to vote in the June 2014 primary came and went, over 6 million people who became eligible to vote didn't bother to register. What a shame!
Some say its because there isn't a Presidential election or any special issue for them on the ballot. However, the Supervisorial elections are even more important to what happens to us here in Calaveras County than who is President.

What? A cocktail reception at the 9/11 museum?
Were you as shocked as we were to learn that a private (no survivor families allowed) cocktail reception was held for the mucky-mucks at the 9/11 museum?

Tea Party Battle Republicans
The battle between the two Republican Parties is absolutely hilarious. We have Tea Party Igor saying bad things about Republican Ose (he's a liberal) and Tea Party McClintock insulting veterans in his anger and fear towards Art Moore, the Republican veteran.
All they are doing is hurting the already tarnished reputation of the once powerful Republican Party in the USA. Many are proud to say they abandoned the wackos and became No Party Preference.

Usher could win 'The Voice" with Josh Kaufman
Last year Usher came close to winning "The Voice", but this year he has Josh Kaufman on his team.
Adam let him go and Usher grabbed him and he is now in the finals. Could this be the year that Usher takes the victory? Kaufman does seem like the singer to beat this season.

Package shrinkage NOT your imagination?
In case you think it might be your imagination that some of the most trusted brands of grocery store products are getting smaller, it is NOT your imagination.

AT&T buying Direct TV
It was reported this morning on Squawk Box that AT&T is buying Direct TV for $95 per share for an estimated price of around $49 billion.
This is most likely due to the big profits in the NFL contracts and advertising, say some analysts. Comcast is buying TimeWarner.
