For those of us who are already convinced...
Because I believe in democracy, I proudly served our country during the Vietnam war. Today I feel compelled to serve the USA, our State of California and the people of Culver City by speaking out on how Big Oil is trying to buy out the very democracy so many risked our lives to preserve. As other oil companies have lobbyists trying to buy out our state by funding campaigns for weak and ineffective regulations, I get concerned that PXP may try to buy out Culver City. For example, PXP and the State oil and gas regulators spoke to over 100 people...
It’s been about a year since the double murder of 27-year old Erica Escobar and 89-year old Lucien Bergez in Culver City. The killer, a 31-year old transient by the name of Zachariah Lehnen, was arrested two days after the crime was committed.

Ed Nicoletti, who had previously been an unsuccess...

Vinny Del Negro will coach the Clippers again next season and that’s the right decision. The Clippers have had a dismal history which includes replacing coaches too often. But owner Donald Sterling appears to be on a winning streak lately. Clippers President Andy Roeser and general manager Neil Olshey went to Sterling and said they were in agreement that Del Negro should be retained. Sterling listened and agreed. There was considerable speculation late in the season that Del Negro was in trouble...
