I guess some people really do need more than a prison term for their crimes. First lets talk about Belleville, Illinois police hero, sergeant, John Brough, 48. Brough was doing a follow-up investigation on a cruel double murder of an elderly couple. The suspect who later killed himself shot Brough in the face. Brough was permanently blinded. The community rallied behind their felled protector taking up collections to help Brough and his family deal with the life changing injuries. Now lets talk about a convicted felon, cop hater and general slug, Richard Hedger II. Hedger just earned himself a 2 ½ year prison term after pleading guilty in connection getting caught stealing a $5 bill from a donation jar at the local Community Kindness Resale Shoppe. Hedger has an extensive criminal record that includes spitting on another Belleville Illinois cop. I don’t dare record my personal thoughts about what additional punishment this miscreant really deserves. I’d have to call in an exper...

The trial of legendary record producer Phil Spector will be getting underway as they pick a jury beginning March 19th. This of course is over the death of 40 year-old Lana Clarkson four years ago this past February. I say a televised trial is better because the jury in that case can be counted to disobey every order to avoid media accounts. If you believe the jury is not going to seek out information you also believe in the Tooth Fairy. The Spector jury will be running every witness through Google on their home computers as they look for future book deals. Having said that at least Spector can get a level playing field by getting his information out that trial Judge Larry Paul Fidler refuses to allow the jury to hear. The jury will hear and read it all anyway. Judge Fidler won’t be able to stop the runaway misconduct. The fruits of the misconduct will cut both ways. I have examined this case carefully and saw early on that it screams, Reasonable Doubt. Was it an accident? S...

The gifted troubadour, poet, and songwriter gave us incredible energy and a magic carpet ride through his songs, guitar playing and harmonica music. This was at the intimate venue of The Coffee Gallery Backstage at 2029 N Lake Ave in Altadena. This house regularly puts up this kind of entertainment for their clientele. Lind’s 1966 mega-hit, Elusive Butterfly was as delightful as ever even without violins. The good news is that Lind has more shows yet to do in Southern California on his current tour. You can catch Lind next Saturday night at McCabe’s Concert Hall in Santa Monica if they still have tickets left. I was able to videotape the entire show tonight. We will have to see just what Lind’s handlers will let me post on the blog if anything. Of course Bob Lind has his own website and there are some songs posted there. Lind has some of his CDs in tow with him on this tour that lucky fans may get him to autograph. I say get in to see Bob Lind perform while he’s here. It ma...

The early 1980s brought us a remarkable T V series called, V. It was about a group of helpful aliens self described as the visitors from another world. They looked human enough like their leader, Diana, played by Jane Badler , a striking beauty much too gorgeous to be of our own planet. The visitors had a dreadful agenda and the truth was that they were nothing more than costumed lizards that dined on such delicacies as live mice. The heroes were earthlings that resisted and fought the visitors. Even more hateful than the visitors were the earthling turncoats that aided the visitors with propaganda. Our very own turncoat leaders have done the same thing with the Chinese Communists exporting both our technology and wealth to these Red Devils. The Chinese have remained quiet while we've engaged in our adventures with North Korea, Iraq, and Iran. As we dig deeper into this quagmire and deplete our defense capabilities don’t expect these one-world Bolsheviks to miss an opportunit...

A Couple were walking out of the bar, Big Wangs on North Cahuenga last night. A group of thugs quickly approached the couple as one grabbed the buttocks of the woman. The threatening thugs got much more than they bargained for when the woman’s companion pulled out a knife and began slashing and cutting the assailants. When it was over three of the thugs were cut, sending one to the hospital. The couple fled into the night. The couple had no duty to stay at the scene or talk to police. The police have not made an effort through the media to locate the couple. The actions of the knife-wielding boyfriend were obviously justifiable. I hope we never learn the names of the couple. I’d like to give that brave man a medal.

Yes she has real talent and has amassed a fortune giving her everything but happiness. She went into two meaningless marriages and now has children and that does not seem to fulfill Britney’s life. The problem is Britney can buy and sell her managers, agents, personal trainers and bodyguards. They cater to her every whim. They dare not intervene in Britney’s personal life or fear losing the gravy train. These people in Britney’s life are using her and not helping her. Britney needs a mentor or parental figure that’s not impressed with her wealth long enough to guide her through the abyss she’s found for herself. Someone that will do something novel, tell Britney the truth. Britney has no choice but to straighten out her life or die. The latter would be horribly unfair to her children. If Britney were under my care I’d take her and her kids to a quiet and beautiful place in India I use as a refuge for about three months. There she could detoxify and get the snakes out of her h...

Britney Spears will do anything for attention these days. That is anything other than entertaining her fans with singing and dancing. She gained new and unsavory world attention when she flashed her cooter for the paparazzi and partied non-stop. The latest insanity is that she shaved her head and got a new tattoo. The poor girl is making a fool out of herself while she self-destructs. Apparently she flirted with thoughts of rehabilitation yesterday but opted to leave the facility. Will Spears try to equal Anna Nicole Smith’s latest horror? I’d say Spears is in desperate need of some forced, life-saving intervention before its too late. She photos of the self-destruction here.
