why are there no good flintstones metaphors for witness intimidation?

Seriously. The Bou' spent some considerable effort trying to come up with a good metaphor for witness intimidation based on the cartoon show called the flintstones. (you know, the ones from the town of bedrock).

There just aren't any.

And that may be why Eric Safire, who appears to be a real son of a bitch and not a very good lawyer at the same time, decided to intimidate witnesses while actually in the court room.

Given that we already started with the story of a diamond encrusted bam bam pendant, it was not likely that this case could get any more retarded, but apparently California would like us to reconsider.

i personally prefer internal frame backpacks

but, hey, what do you expect from a bird brain.

The Bou' is pretty pleased to see how crafty some Californians are about using their cell phones.

California destroys $1.2 Billion in farm products

California apparently does respect farmers' contributions to the economy. Yep. For no good reason apparently this week saw the government destroy 1.2 billion dollars of crop in the wester Sierra -


WAIT JUST ONE GODDAMNED MINUTE!!!

THEY WERE GROWING POT?

WTF?

1.2 billion dollars in weed?

what in the hell is going on in this state?

coward journalists

yep. san francisco again. in addition to having a rather amazingly terrible record at keeping witnesses alive, san francisco's po-po are apparently really into bad mouthing people that don't trust their ability to keep them alive.

I point to Lt. Mike Stasko, who said of a journalist student who prefers to stay alive:

"we're just going to find some witnesses who aren't cowards, like this student is, hiding behind the shield law"

It brings a little tattooed tear to my eye

FRESNO ALERT!!!

The Bou' loves it when Fresno is in the news - and it's hard to find a better story and forcibly tattooing a seven year old with a gang sign when it comes to, well, the central valley lifestyle.

It's telling that it took two people to do this - both the tattoo artist and the father to hold the child down. Now that's true love.

muscle beach

weightlifting. in public. yep.

what makes muscle beach so perfectly californian is that to be governors, to be movie stars, and to be executed murderous gang members all hang out together, and then in a truly californian fit of californianess, don't hang out together when the chips are down.
