-- 19-year-old lad from Felton -- a fascinating, frightening place -- calls cops after his weed gets pinched. Which he was trying to sell in downtown Santa Cruz. And doesn't get arrested. [Chron] more ›

So yes, we have a predilection for hitting up Fox News occasionally. We like to look at it as testing our mental fortitude, a way to see how far we could go before our blood pressure rises to the point we have to throw things. Somehow, this weekend we missed Matt Gonzalez appearing on Fox's "The Lineup" to talk about the Yale Choral Group story (Yalegate? Doughgate? Choirgate?). Oh, and your host of the Lineup? The former Mrs. Gavin Newsom, Kimberly Guilfoyle. more ›

We have to disagree with VH-1's "Best Week Ever" about saying Little Richard had the Best Week Ever because we thought Osama Bin Laden totally did. Why Osama Bin Laden? Because we've heard his name mentioned more in the past week than we've heard in the past year. In fact, the Osama is so hot right now that no politician could go without mentioning his name. Including Nancy Pelosi more ›

For this week's SchwarzenWatcher we were going to give a budget analysis but decided not to. Nobody cares. Because who cares about the financial state of the State when Arnie gets caught driving a motorcycle without a license? And gets away with it! All we can say is it's good to be the Governor. Today the LAPD said they wouldn't cite the Governor for driving without a license. And why should they? Do you remember last time the LAPD tried to stop Arnold? The DMV added that because he was riding with a sidecar, it made the motorcycle technically a three-wheel vehicle and thus technically not something he'd need the M1 license for. more ›

You know how in all this steroid hullabaloo, Tony LaRussa has been running around adamantly saying there was nothing going on, nothing happening, and nothing to see? Well, it turns out there was. Last night on the Wednesday night’s edition of 60 Minutes, 60 Minutes 2, Electric Boogaloo, LaRussa claimed that they knew Canseco was juiced all along. He’d even brag about it in front of everyone and joked around about how he didn’t need to work out anymore. And why didn’t he say anything? He wanted to but he didn’t think anything would come of it. Not that MLB would have done something about it, but MLB wouldn’t have been able to do anything about it because of the Players' Association (probably and most definitely true -- Donald Fehr is as much to blame in this whole mess as anyone). The fact that Canseco was having monster years during the heyday of the Bash Brothers and was the first player to hit 40 home runs with 40 stolen bases had nothing to do with it, of course. Sandy Alderson, then GM of the A’s and now Executive VP of baseball also admitted that they were aware of Canseco’s love of injecting things into his ass but as they had no concrete proof -- there was no testing back then -- they couldn’t confront him. Again, actually a fair claim as there is that whole issue with innocent until proven guilty and unless they followed Canseco into the men’s room everytime he went, they couldn’t really prove anything. Not that they would have, anyways (see 40 HRs and 40 sb in 1988). more ›
