“Voted one of the best local blogs last year by the News and Review, this hip site has been delivering ‘news, gossip and snark’ since 2005 and is searchable by a wide range of categories including burgers, cocktails, and even local idiots.”
-National Geographic Traveler

“One of our favorite bloogers, CoolDMZ over at sacrag.com…”
-Sam McManis, Sacramento Bee

“Thanks to the SacRag, I have incorporated the word ’snark’ into my daily vernacular. I’ve discovered where to find the city’s best fish and chips. Most significantly, I’ve learned that someone actually has googled the search term ‘Eileen Javora boobs.’”
-Pamela Wu, KCRA anchor

“[CoolDMZ] was so, well, cool…so sacrag is a site I check daily for fun insight into all things Sacramento.”
-Christina Mendonsa, News10 anchor

Today marks the first year of publication here at The Sac Rag, and we couldn’t have done it without You, our dedicated readers and commenters, and the occasional wack job who helped us cause a mild stir. What started with two writers has ballooned into a crack writing staff of a dozen covering everything from shopping and eating to news and sports.

I just noticed somebody ran across The Sac Rag searching for the phrase “Eileen Javora boobs.” And just in case, they turned the “safe filter” off. Nice try, sicko, this is a family site. And in that regard, if Squirty Tip is in your family, we extend our best wishes.

And you may ask yourself-well…how did I get here? Just kidding. I feel like dishing about local news personalities. Today it’s Paul Joncich and Eileen Javora. I like Joncich because he’s not afraid to get caught with his arms crossed when the camera cuts back to the anchor desk shot. It goes a long way toward creating the persona of a no-nonsense newsman. I mean look at that biography: 2 Emmys, who knew! and “one of the first local television reporters in the country to visit the Soviet Union after the fall of communism.” That’s some resume.

The thing about Eileen Javora is that I fear she might be a cyborg. Try to guess how old she is–she could be anywhere from 23 to 42 as far as I can tell, and until KCRA releases a full DNA test I will continue to use whatever public power I have to out her as an ageless half-robot.
