Cecilia “Ceci” Iglesias- GOP in an Independent’s Clothing
The Latino community has been reporting for the past couple of weeks a woman who has been going around the community named Cecilia “Ceci” Iglesias touting herself as an Independent candidate for Congress in the 47th Congressional District, Loretta Sanchez’ seat. A little digging is revealing a much bigger picture, a clear effort by the Republican party to split the Latino vote from Loretta in the general. Nice try folks, but next time, try to hide the evidence better.
First, I went to Iglesias’ website, which you can see HERE. On her bio page, one can get the first hints she is a ringer for the GOP. She mentions working for a voter registration project in the Santa Ana and Garden Grove area, but fails to detail which one. Could it be the one that was illegally switching voters to the Republican party? Apparently she is also a resident of the Windsor Village neighborhood. So upon learning that, I looked into her voter registration information. She is apparently registered in the neighborhood at 1322 S. Arapaho Dr., which is in the neighborhood. The interesting part is she only registered there this past August.
Rick Warren: First Priority Get America Back To Work

The Governor Owes Back Taxes
Well, well well. Owing back taxes is no longer than exclusive domain of Obama administration appointees.

Olbermann Rips Glenn Beck as “Worst Person” Again
Last night, Keith Olbermann awarded the “Worst Person” gold medal to another Fox News host: Glenn Beck. On his radio show Beck crudely called Senator Mary Landrieu a prostitute for her work obtaining money in the health care bill to help pay for coverage of poor citizens of Louisiana. He then doubled down later on his television show, saying “So we know you’re hookin’, but you’re just not cheap.”
Schwarzenegger Picks Maldonado for Lt. Gov

Adams Recall Fails – They thought Tea-Partiers were registered
Once again, the tea-partiers fail to get their way. The Orange County launched recall attempt against Republican Anthony Adams failed to meet the required number of signatures to move forward the Secretary of State’s office announced on Friday. Adams 59th Assembly District covers parts of Los Angeles and San Bernardino Counties.
…And They Say California is Crazy?
Oh, how I miss Molly Ivins. "This state or a political subdivision of this state may not create or recognize any legal status identical or […]
