​A fellow checking the craigslist want ads could not take his eyes off a black 21-speed Fuji Road Bike on sale for $280. That's because he was convinced it was his black 21-speed Fuji Road Bike, valued at $450 and recently stolen from the front yard of his Huntington Beach home.

That set in motion a chain of events that not only led to Denis Yoshio Cruz Ramirez's arrest, but a possible looming deportation hearing for the Costa Mesa 23-year-old.

​It's been a while since we've heard from our pal Jim Gilchrist, founder of the Minuteman Project and sworn enemy of Barbara Coe. He does pop up on our comments from time to time, where he smacks down true Know Nothings (as opposed to his misguided immigration philosophy).

But yesterday, Jimbo sent us an email to a story in the Columbia Spectator, the college newspaper of the Ivy League school, that states the campus' College Republicans want to invite him back. Last time he was at Columbia in 2006, a bona fide riot ensued in the auditorium where Gilchrist was scheduled to speak. Roll the tape!

​That crazy Barbara Coe is at it again! The aging cigarette that is the head of the California Coalition for Immigration Reform has been a bit quiet on her email blasts as of recent, preferring to send out stories that claim pedophilia is an acceptable part of Afghan culture with no comment. But this seemingly innocuous story--the military is holding training exercises in downtown Los Angeles with the help of the Los Angeles Police Department through Thursday--sent Babs into a phlegm-inducing panic about concentration camps, Obama, and--of course!--Nazis and the Jews.

​One of the reasons why I love writing historical-themed cover stories is that it gives me the excuse to look through years of microfilm of the county's old newspapers--not just the Orange County Register and Los Angeles Times, but the county's many long-gone dailies. Not only are they time capsules, but they are chockablock with bloggable treasures that still resonate to a modern-day audience--like the reprehensible caricature of a Mexican in an 1924 Fullerton Daily Tribune op-ed cartoon--which, of course, is after the jump.

​Itzcoatl Ocampo, the 23-year-old Yorba Linda man arrested for allegedly being the serial killer who targeted homeless men in Orange County over the past month, is scheduled to appear Tuesday in Orange County Superior Court to face charges, but he's already the poster boy for three groups of people that have populated the comments section of local newspapers and media websites. Each attribute his pathology to a specific Ocampo personal trait without knowing jack shit about his mental makeup.

One group blames Ocampo's psychosis on him having served in Iraq with the Marines, a point bolstered by Ocampo's own relatives.

​Supporters of a state initiative to repeal the California Dream Act Governor Jerry Brown signed into law last year announced today they failed to obtain the 500,000 signatures required to get a proposition on the ballot. See what happens when you have your Mexican gardener's wife distribute petitions? Buh-dum-dump . . .

Agran (at right): Can he finally do something progressive after years of being a tool?

​This summer, the city of Irvine and its apologists made much about its decision to force any contractors doing work for the city to pay its workers a living wage, that progressive wet dream in effect wherever former Mechistas sit on city councils.

The announcement made it seem as if Irvine really is a wonderland where no exploitation is allowed, and everyone who lives, works, and plays in the city is middle-class except those stray Mexicans that invade their parks every once in a while. Of course, the devil is in the details, and one key group of workers on Irvine land is excluded from a living wage: farmworkers at the Great Park.

​I remember a time when Lalo Alcaraz, the legendary cartoonista would go years between making appearances in Orange County--cabrón was damn paranoid about appearing. But ever since I agreed to be his official passport, fucker virtually lives here--since September alone, I know he's made at least three appearances in la naranja, since people can never get enough of his genius.

Miss him at those events? He's back in OC next week!

​There is the Reconquista, and then there is what's happening with our Anaheim Angels--once the paragon of suburban gabacho aspirations as exemplified by Gene Autrey and Wally Joyner, now owned by a Latino (Arte Moreno), narrated by one (Jose Mota), and recent acquirers of Albert Pujols, the Dominican who just happens to be the biggest, non-steroidal chingón in baseball since Mickey Mantle.

All of this is God-ordained and supported, and now we have proof: a sighting of the Virgin of Guadalupe, the Empress of the Americas and Mexican through-and-through, inside the Big A, to give God's blessing to the franchise!

​Barbara Coe is, if nothing else, at least true to the false friend of her name: barbaric. We have written many blog posts over the years tracking her vicious words, whether wishing death on President Barack Obama, ridiculing gays and Mexis (and gay Mexis!) and many, many more.

Yet the head witch of the California Coalition for Immigration Reform outdid herself this week with her treatment of the suicide of Joaquin Luna.
