The Orange Juice Blog Turns Over Rocks
Today was a very interesting day in the wonderful world of
blogging in Orange County. On the Orange Juice blog, author
Claudio virtually ran a bulldozer through the rock pile, not
only turning over rocks, but flinging them out of the way. By
doing so he exposed some very slimy characters prominent on the
Costa Mesa political scene. The blog may be found at the
following link: http://o-juice.blogspot.com/.
Claudio says things in this particular posting that have been alluded to on this site, and by many other speakers and writers over the past couple years. His comparisons of the leaders of the Third Reich in the middle half of the last century to present day leaders of Costa Mesa will offend some readers - and make a lot of sense to many others.
I will not attempt to paraphrase Claudio, but suggest those interested can copy and paste the above link into your browser and read his words and view the illustrations first hand. Unlike this blog, his provides a way to directly comment if you're so moved.
I suspect Claudio will receive some flack from this posting, but many of the things he said needed to be said. The influence of the man he features on members of the current council - and those past - is undeniable. He has boasted of being responsible for getting some of them elected - and another being booted from office because of his non-support. If you pay attention you hear his words echoed by present council members and some commissioners, too.
It's going to be an interesting few days as Claudio's blog entry ferments a little and divergent viewpoints find their way to his Comments section. Whatever happens, I suspect this gutsy posting will have an impact on our city - hopefully, for the better.
