In a decision that could have major implications for surfing schools statewide, the California Coastal Commission this month authorized new rules at one of the Bay Area's top beaches for learners, ensuring access for surfing programs after they raised equity complaints that they had long been shut out.

I disagree w/ @KamalaHarris on many things but I celebrate the ascension of a ferociously self-determined, highly accomplished & thoroughly prepared woman of color to the top of a national ticket. She's a reminder that diversity & possibility are the core of what makes USA great.

I've been calling this one for a while. That Fiorina would deliver the first in a series of blows to Trump. That America would be introduced to her. That she’d win. Now everyone from CNN to Fox News, to Salon, to even Breitbart News agrees that Carly Fiorina walked away with a landslide. Hell, even Cosmopolitan is singing her praises. Her performance was so dominant, it reminded me of a song from my youth. And so I made a montage... (video at link)

In an article chock full of "could" and computer model projections, the San Jose Mercury News speculates in the headline, "Climate change may flatten Santa Cruz's famed surfing waves." Key word is "may" since it also may not. However, this doesn't prevent reporter James Urton from engaging in extreme conjecture about surf conditions in a century while computer model projections are often unable to correctly project the weather for the next day. Let us now join Urton in the midst of his Chicken Little mode concerning the future of Santa Cruz surfing:

<p>That new face is a pina colada-sipping, lobster-loving lothario named Jason Greenslate.</p> <p>Greenslate, a 29-year-old La Jolla California surfer and musician who sings that he does not want a “mother**king job” and has “f**k no” guilt about living on $200 of what he calls “free money ” — or what the government called Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Benefits — while he avoids a job to hang out on the beach, sing and chase women.</p>

Conservative supporters of Chuck DeVore seem outraged that Sarah Palin didn’t endorse their candidate for the California GOP Senate Primary race to take on Barbara Boxer in the November election. To them, it seemed like the likely thing for her to do and I know DeVore himself had asked for the nod. DeVore’s supporters are operating, to this day on the notion that their guy is the “one true Conservative in the race.” They run off of emotion and perception but they are omitting many facts about the Senate race and about Chuck DeVore himself with their analysis. I’m going...

Today in California, we’re seeing how desperate the NRSC’s handpicked candidate, Carly Fiorina, really is. Despite massive monetary advantages in her campaign, mostly thanks to writing herself checks and getting the blessing from the NRSC’s Rob Jesmer and his ilk, she still performs worse than Chuck DeVore against Barbara Boxer, and she’s lost the momentum in the race. So in a last ditch effort to win, her allies are using the Richard Blumenthal story to try to create a blatantly false perception of Chuck DeVore. Carly’s official campaign Twitter account complained just the other day about DeVore’s status as a...

Just heard: ambulance called to Obama compound, Obama has left his golf game.

In these last days, the Bible says it will be a time of mass hybridization and the mixture and corruption of human DNA by fallen angels, also known as "Aliens." The government is and has been, conditioning the existence of aliens through Hollywood, science fiction, cartoons, and other sources. However, they are not telling you the whole truth. These Aliens are not ascended masters, or enlightened ones, or beings from galaxies millions of miles away, nor are they our forefathers or original creators. They are fallen angels who were kicked out of heaven for their rebellion against the headship...

WAHSATCH - Searchers in Summit County on Wednesday found more body parts matching those discovered earlier near the Wyoming border. But Summit County sheriff's Chief Deputy Dave Booth said detectives have yet to find the head formerly attached to the body strewn along a frontage road. "It's the head we're really interested in right now," he said. Booth said the Utah State Medical Examiner's Office determined body parts found Monday and Tuesday belong to an adult male, who was 6 feet tall with dark hair, but the office didn't have any more information about the person's identity. The mystery began...
