Way back during the Dinosaurs in 1970, I founded the original Ocean Beach People’s Rag - OB’s famous underground newspaper -, and then later during the early Eighties, published The Whole Damn Pie Shop, a progressive alternative to the Reader.

  1. This John Oliver guy brought tears to my eye (one eye because I’m jaded).
    His rousing speech doubled my heart rate.
    Bye bye Chargers. Torrance should love you.

  2. Here is a list of City Council person’s and the mayor’s email addresses. Remember that Todd Gloria, David Alvarez, and Marti Emerald voted no on the EIR cost, send them a thank you and blast the crap out of the others, especially Lori Zapf, our own representative.
