Talk about epic failure!!! City councilmembers making $100,000 + and top city officials of a rinky dinky little town of only 37,000 making 7 times more than the president of the United States???Anyone with even the most minute amount of common sense would find something a bit strange about that one. It’s obvious these politicos fantastically failed polisci 101. If anything I would recommend Politics for Dummies for this crowd.

Madera Deputies Arrest Facebook Child Predator

I know I’ve seen this guy around town so I thought I’d pass this story along, via KMPH:
Daniel Alvarez
Madera County Sheriff’s Detectives have arrested a child predator, who they say used Facebook to lure his victims.
Deputies arrested 30-year-old Daniel Alvarez, after they say he lured a 15-year-old on the social networking site.
Officers say Alvarez told the victim he was 20-year-old.
When deputies got word of Alvarez’s actions, they went online, posing as a teen, and made plans to meet Alvarez at a local park.
When they arrived at the park, they found Alvarez wandering alone in the parking lot. He was arrested and booked into the Madera County Jail for sex crimes against a child. His bail has been set at $100,000.
Due to the nature of this crime, Madera County Sheriff John Anderson says there could be more victims. He’s asking anyone with information on Alvarez or the case to call 559-675-7770 or toll free at 1-800-560-4911.
The case remains under investigation.

Argentina legalizes same-sex marriage
July 23, 2010

This story didn’t get a lot of coverage in the US when it broke last week, but I thought it was a pretty big deal. The country is heavily Roman Catholic and that church is well-known for its fierce opposition to same-sex marriage. Also, Latin America, with a very few exceptions, has not been known for having a gay-friendly culture. And yet the law passed rather easily. I think that if same-sex marriage can be embraced in a place like this then there are few places in the world where it cannot. At least that is what I’d like to hope.

(CNN) — Argentina became the first Latin American country on Thursday to legalize same-sex marriage.
Lawmakers in the Senate passed the bill after 14 hours of debate that began Wednesday and carried well into early Thursday morning, the state-run Telam news agency reported.
The bill had already passed the lower chamber of Congress.

Steven Acuna funeral service information
July 22, 2010
Leave a comment
I can’t tell you how thankful and proud I am right now. Last night’s INTEGRATION was probably one of the most memorable in the year and a half we’ve been running this event. At the stroke of midnight we turned on the lights, killed the music, and spent a few minutes honoring the life and memory of Stevie Acuna. To look out and see the mass of onlookers, with their heads bowed in silence out of respect for Stevie was probably one of the most sincere and powerful moments I can remember in a very long time. I want to say thank you to everyone who came last night and participated in our moment of silence. I want to say thanks to Michael Dias for putting together a beautiful memorial on stage for Stevie, and all the QN and Starline staff that helped support a difficult and complicated night. I wanted to announce Stevie’s funeral information last night but it slipped my mind so I wanted to post it here. You can click the link below to get the schedule of services…
