Frequent Sac Rag readers know that the Man loves to put his foot down on the people. From preventing our hearts from indulging in heaping helpings of trans fats to sticking hard working, tax paying citizens with bills to fix sidewalks, the madness continues.

By now you’ve heard of the “Sacramento’s American River Gone Fockin’ Crazy” video, an amateur “Girls Gone Wild” shot in the lawless American river by a creepy young would be video entrepreneur.

You can hear the Raley’s theme, complete with the tuba vamp intro (is that the right term, “vamp”?) at their fake … Continue reading ““Frolic” on over to Raley’s”
Ok, so I’ve been sitting on this one for a few months, but something happened this morning at the gym that really sent me over the edge. I haven’t heard back from the Sac Rag Legal Department yet regarding what I can and can not say so I’ll try to be vague. A few months … Continue reading “Now I ain’t sayin’ she a gold digger…”
