California Republican gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman announced on Saturday that she is severing ties with Bob Kellar, a Santa Clarita Councilman.

At a recent Whitman rally in southern California, Bob Kellar blamed illegal immigrants for harming the economy.

“As President Theodore Roosevelt once said, the United States has one flag and one language — English.” Kellar told the crowd.

Democrats called on Whitman to distance herself from Kellar. The Whitman campaign agreed and disavowed Kellar’s comments.

Republican Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger educates the children of California. According to the Governor, many areas of San Francisco will be going underwater in less than ninety-years. The Governor uses this video to show us what he claims will happen to California, all because of man’s selfish desires… like pumping gas:

Good News Or Bad?

Mark — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 03:54:11 +0000

I was once told by a listener, that news radio tends to focus only on bad news. I’m not so sure about that. It could simply be her perception of what is good news vs what is bad. For example, when we are broadcasting election night results, many in the audience will hear mostly bad news while others in the audience are popping champaigne corks and cheering. Regardless, it is news.

Based on your perception, I found good news…. or did I? This is a perfect example of how you read this story and whether or not it is good news or bad:

Published on Sunday, Nov. 29, 2009

By Vanessa Rakis-Garabedian / The Fresno Bee

Fresno Police have identified Fernando Valencia, 29, of Fresno, as the armed robber who was shot and killed Sunday night by a clerk at U-Save Liquor on East Tulare Avenue near Maple Avenue.

Valencia has a criminal history that includes carjacking, carrying concealed weapons, vehicle theft and domestic violence, police said.

Two men entered the liquor store on the 4600 block of Tulare Avenue around 8:30 p.m. The first man pointed a handgun at the clerk and demanded money. The clerk fatally shot the man and the second man left the scene on foot, Vasquez said. She declined to release further details.

Police are asking for help finding the second man who was a lookout in the attempted robbery.

Anyone with information about the case is asked to call detective Mark Yee at (559) 621-2451 or CrimeStoppers at (559) 498-STOP.

Whitman Admires California’s Tax Structure

Mark — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 05:15:35 +0000

Meg Whitman, who is running in the 2010 Governor’s race as a Republican, recently told CNBC’s Larry Kudlow that California’s current tax structure is not a problem…. no really, she did.

I’ve been asked a number of times and I don’t think that Whitman is a part of an ongoing Saturday Night Live prank.

Based on her facial expression and dismissive “yeah”, I’m not so sure that she really even knows who Texas Governor Rick Perry is. And flat tax? No, because according to Whitman, California’s tax structure is “not the problem” and neither is “who we tax and how we tax them”.

Marriage Protection Act

Mark — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 23:42:17 +0000

The proposed 2010 California Marriage Protection Act would make divorce illegal in California. This proposed initative still needs enough valid signatures to be placed on the ballot in November of 2010.

Sonora Christmas Parade

Mark — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 22:36:28 +0000

The Sonora Christmas Parade will take place this Friday (November 27th) at 5:30pm.

I will be announcing the parade from the balcony of “Go Figure” Accounting, located near the intersection of Washington and Stockton. Joining me is former KVML News personality, Alisha Cruz.

For optimum visual and sound, the best place to watch the parade from will be just across the street from us, by Bank of America & Yosemite Title. There is no better place to be….

OK, one exception. Bill Johnson (KVML News Director) and BJ Hanson (KVML Reporter) will both be announcing from the balcony of Yosemite House (which is located across from the Courthouse) on Washington Street.

The parade travels from the Red Church to Restano Way.

We’ll see you this Friday night!
