Norco Controller Steve Barron has a Blog . . .

. . . but it's not about politics or audits. Called Roadside Americana, Steve's blog focuses on bits and pieces of local folklore and history. He even threatens to tell a few ghost stories.

He claims Easton's Cemetery is the most historic 99 acres in the whole dang country. Why? Because you can find:

• The grave and monument to a signer of the Declaration of Independence
• Several Veterans from every US Armed Conflict to Date
• The Uncle of Mary Todd Lincoln
• The 1st Governor of the Kansas Territory
• The most photographed actress from the 1890’s
• A ghost that has an award show named after him
• A US Commissioner under John Adams once charged to draft the Constitution for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
• A few former US Senators; and
• The Father of Band (Marching Band that is) Music

Right now, he's describing a few "modern ruins." I wonder if that includes my jeep.

    Barrons first report should be on B O'Hair as a crossdressing, ballwashing pervert allowed to run the halls of the Government Center protected by County Executive John Stoffar. How does a County Controller have time to do a blog if he is going to be full time, unless Barron is not going to run for the full time County Controller seat? Does this mean B O'Hair and Barron will share the County bathrooms, seeing as they will be blog buddies? Too many questions, not enough answers.

    Sionce you've already made an ass out of yourself, there's little I need to add.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
