Well here we are, Sacramento, it’s time to get out the vote. Beckler has an entertaining post on Heckasac conjuring Aileen Voisin’s penchant for straw men and the helpful services they provide. If anyone has any enjoyable polling place stories or witnesses anything out of the ordinary (people eating $6000 combo meals outside your polling … Continue reading “Decision 2006 #2”
Via Heckasac, a heads’ up from musician/producer J Greenberg: Wednesday at 7pm, KVIE will air a program that I produced, and that I’m very proud of. If you have an interest in Sacramento History– particularly the strange stuff that doesn’t make it into the history books — then I hope you’ll tune in to Channel … Continue reading “More local nostalgia on KVIE”
The good people of Sacramento have demonstrated their..err.. exquisite taste and sophistication (?!) by selecting the SacRag as Best Local Blog in the News and Review’s annual Best of Issue, tying with Heckasac and decidedly kicking the shit out of the extremely weak Mark Williams Radio Show Blog.

For example, Wells… didn’t … Continue reading “The party’s over, and I’m already late”
I wish I could take credit for the “over the hill fake hipster” comment that sprung Beckler back from the shortest hiatus in blog history at Heckasac, but alas, I can’t.

Well the title says it all. I think the sites selected for the Dotties are pretty sad. So here’s my picks with an emphasis on the locals. Who would you pick?
I knew this category would come in handy. What I did not know was that Heckasac would be the main source for it. Read Beckler’s harrowing tale, courtesy of a sharp-eyed reader, of mistreatment of a homeless man at Paesano’s.
Some of you may have heard that former congressman Pete McCloskey, 78, is coming out of retirement to challenge Rep. Richard Pombo, R-Tracy, for Republican nomination for the congressional seat. While it’s cool that this dude is fired up enough at 78 years old to get back in the ring to right some wrongs, what … Continue reading “Vote for Pete”
