Bustamente, doesn't he hang with the La Raza Surf Club? It's nice to know that Aztlan will include some of the best surf this side of Hawaii.

Anyways, the kids have been trying to get me to surf for years. So far I've managed to stay out of the Northern CA water. Great White breeding ground up here. I look too much like a nice plump sea lion (actually I'm training for the Honolulu Marathon, so I'm beginning to look like a youthful harbor seal)....

Cold water and Great White sharks fueled my non-interest in getting to CA to surf (live in FL). Northern CA water must require two wetsuits, brrrrrrrr!

I spent years trying to get my kids interested in surfing, no sale. Go figure. Maybe it was that 0-dark:30 morning trek to the beach (an hour drive from home). Gotta get that morning glass!

Knock them dead at the marathon. And I bet you'll look mahhhvelous doing it!

Now back to bustin' Bustamante...

While boating out in the ocean a small child enquires, "Mommy, why is that huge buoy wearing glasses?"

Very Cool, My Wife and I grew up in Newport and we miss home alot.

Off Salmon Creek Beach they're surfing in one THICK wetsuit. Santa Cruz is about 125 miles south and they use about a 3. something mm suit.

Maybe we should change his name to Busta Manatee....

Maybe Registerd would make one of those great pictures he does of Cruz's head on a hip hop manatee, with some bling bling and shades.

I just happen to find one of his raps:

I'm here to say I'm Buster Manatee
Put me in office, soon you will plea insanity
I'll let illeagels take over this state
To pay for it I'll tax people and laugh they took the bait
Businesses get the tax too, double for them
If you don't like it, too bad, Buster Manatee will tax you again

They had mob scenes for Zsa Zsa too...

She looks pretty relaxed - poor Arnie looked a lot more concerned for his personal safety. Probably because the crowd pressing in was around 100x the size in this photo.

Not sure why everybody assumes the crowd was star-struck - must be out-of-staters. The code in LA is to ignore stars - the people they interviewed on TV all said they were interested because of his run for governor.

HB/NB are places where rubes come to see the whole SoCal beach scene after visiting Disneyland. While Fox's new soap opera, 'The OC' is a glammed up version, the essential truths are still valid: some of the most beautiful girls (and guys according to my wife) cavorting around at the beach.

This image/life style is beamed around the world. I remember being in a small French village 2 years ago and seeing the local youths hanging around a surf/skate shop, cobblestone lanes and ancient ruins contrasting with posters advertising all the stuff put out by the multi-billion $ surfwear companies located in these two towns.

Sorry to sound jaded, but no one here is really impressed by anything else other than its own coolness factor.

LOL! That's good!

Cruz'n with Busta Man-a-tee!

Meanwhile, Tom McClintock's appearance at a local Denny's restaurant in Huntington Beach was described by a waitress interviewed for this story as "the quietest this place has been since we tried to open on Christmas morning a few years back." McClintock and his supporters packed into a corner booth for a photo opportunity, flanked by a half-eaten Moon Over My Hammy Grand Slam plate and the sugar dispenser.

Police were called at the end of the meal when the caucus erupted into a bare-knucks battle over who was going to leave the tip.
