even the po-po dogs in california are on the medicine

yes, the drug dogs are snorting Tina. The Bou' has to admit, it's gotta be a stressful job, and if you've got those tendencies and your job is to have your nose right in the stuff, well. damnit. that ain't right.

I'm lookin' out for you Balu.

helping children and fighting gangs? isn't that your job?

The OC is such a special place. The OC is where cops who intimidate witnesses are allowed to ask for reduced sentances because of their record of work helping children and fighting gangs.

wait a minute... aren't you a cop? you mean you're getting paid in exchange for helping children and fighting gangs and you would get fired if you didn't and you think that means you deserve to be able to serve less time for committing crimes while supposedly enforcing the law?

well, that's just phenomenally assenine.

The Bou' knows all sorts of smart ass Californians that are going to compare the lifestyles of Jesus and Alan now, but save it for the comments my friends, no - not the comments here - go directly to the LA Times.

whaddaya mean the denny's is closed?

Look people, there are so many nutsos in California that they have to close their Denny'ses sometimes.

I know what you're thinking - someone has to do something about this, well, we are.
