ojai news at The Ojai Post :: blog, newspaper, events in Ojai, California

I find myself at home glued to the OjaiPost for the latest enlightening posts from Ed NumbChick.

Then I wander over to jbs.org and research things like "naked dancing" and "brain farts".

Pretty exciting

My evening was great!

Thinking of evan's sustainable post on another thread, I was horrified to have pointed out to me by my four year old, that the oranges I had recently bought from Starr Market, were all the way from Australia. Right here in beautiful, Ojai, Orange country and I'm buying oranges from Australia. Never again.

I'll be checking those labels and trying my hardest to do the "buy within a 100 mile philosophy"!

Noticing my name being mentioned in vain again, but nevertheless being inspired by the reporting on the quaint little town of Upper Ojai with its' small elementary school and idyllic life style of yesteryear, I feel compelled to urge local candidates everywhere in the future coming elections to ENACT CONCEALED CARRY GUN LAWS so teachers, public officials and concerned citizens will be armed to protect our children and communities. I wish to further urge candidates for office, city mayor and council in particular, to wage their campaigns on simple patriotic principles of Constitutional Americanism such as drastically cutting the physical SIZE of government and eliminating the big bucks bureaucrats now impeding progress and harassing citizens through endless licenses, permits, fees, delays, etc., etc., etc.. I would like to see campaign platforms pursuing real solutions to our serious problems of eroding freedoms, property rights, and crime being made worse by our existing leaders and bureaucrats who ignore their oath to uphold and defend our Constitution and instead seek to destroy life, liberty, property and any pursuit of happiness we may attempt to achieve. Of paramount importance as a campaign plank is to support and enact a local Vermont style (see: vermont gun law(on internet) no fee concealed carry permit law enabling all citizens to carry guns, no ifs, ands, or buts, to protect themselves and families on the streets and crime will drop rapidly to near zero, as it has in other states with this kind of law, providing a much safer America for us and our children. The tragic school shootings in recent years could have been prevented or greatly reduced had the teachers been armed (they‘re still not armed). 9-11 could have been prevented had the air crews been armed (they’re still not armed). Crime in this country would be a small fraction of what it is today had the victims only been allowed their constitutional 2nd Amendment rights! We’ve been disarmed like so many sheeple being herded to the slaughter house by our own leaders and we need candidates to restore our rights before we lose our country, our children, and our lives. - Ed Nemechek -760-246-8059.

On a cuter, lighter note than the one posted above…

My favorite part of the news so far today has to be the following:

Regarding Lynne Cheney’s revelation that Cheney and Barak Obama are 8th cousins, Obama’s camp’s reply?

“Every family has a black sheep”.

Congrats Tyler! Hey, anyone going to Ojai Day?
