CORRECTION: Steve Lunetta: Modification affects many properties
Editor's note: Due to technical problems on our end, Steve Lunetta's column did not make it to The Signal in time for Monday publication. With apologies to Steve, we offer it up today.
Steve Lunetta: We get letters
As part of the vast right-wing conspiracy, I get a large volume of mail both friendly and unfriendly. The most entertaining ones get saved for the occasional column.
Steve Lunetta: That’s it, I give up
I give up. I absolutely give up. On Aug. 10, President Barack Obama signed a $26 billion spending bill that protects the jobs of 300,000 teachers, police and other government workers from potential layoffs.
Steve Lunetta: To offend is to entertain
To offend: (1) to cause difficulty, discomfort or injury; (2) to cause dislike, anger or vexation
Steve Lunetta: Shooting down RINOs
Oops, I did it again. Uncle Earl and I went over to Big 5 and bought another gun. This one is a Remington 870 Express 12-gauge with a 28-inch barrel. We got the last one.
Steve Lunetta: The great glacier hoax
What in the name of heaven are you doing at the computer, Uncle Earl?" "Sit down, my boy, and listen. I've figured out the perfect scam and nobody can catch me. I'm going to create my own scientific institute for global warming. I'm going to call it 'Earl's Big and Well-Funded Science Institute for Global Climate Change.'" "Say what? Earl, have you lost your mind?" "Au contraire, my perplexed nephew. I figure I can play ...
Steve Lunetta: Riding on the winds of change
"In a few moments, I'm going to talk to you about a new product that will change your life."
Steve Lunetta: Acoustic cakes and apparel
Stories about good kids and good programs get routinely ignored by most of the mainstream press and the majority of the news-consuming public.
Steve Lunetta: Be grateful for what we have here
It's easy to be negative. That pothole in the street in front of your house that jars your teeth in the morning as you start the daily commute can make it seem like the city does not care.
Steve Lunetta: Life imitating art imitating life
A new administration arrives. The nation and the world become enamored with these intriguing "visitors." Led by a mysteriously charismatic leader who seems able to sway public opinion by uttering a few words on television, these visitors seem incapable of doing wrong.
Steve Lunetta: Climategate
"Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practise to deceive." - Sir Walter Scott, Marmion, Canto v. Stanza 17. Many attribute that famous line to William Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night." Actually, the Immortal Bard just stole it from a famous Scottish writer named Sir Walter Scott. Rather ironic isn't it? A line about deception stolen and used in another piece of literature. And, yes, "practice" is spelled as "practise." Doesn't it look better ...
Steve Lunetta: Eric Holder's bad decisions
Bad decisions. We all make them. Some have limited consequences while others are far-reaching. Like the time I took my future wife to go see the Barbra Streisand movie "Yentel." We parked my red 1963 Volkswagen Beetle in Riverside's Tyler Mall parking lot and went in to see the show. I was subjected to two hours of Streisand pretending to be a boy in love with another boy which was OK because he, I mean ...
Steve Lunetta: Uncle Earl and cyber bullies
"Steven, I don't care what they say, I'm not going to change." Only two people in the world get away with calling me Steven. My sister Lyn and my Uncle Earl. Lyn gets away with it because she has for 46 years. Uncle Earl can do it because he's old and cantankerous. He also gives me great material. "Earl, I'm telling you that you've got to be more careful on your blog. The day is ...
Steve Lunetta: The big tax man cometh
Hey, all you Democrats and liberals out there! Are you happy now? The vile and insidious budget trick put in place by the state of California is now coming to fruition.
Unions are rising like a phoenix
The burst of flame that consumes the bird momentarily blinds me. One moment, I behold a beautiful red and yellow-plumed avian. The next, a carcass fully involved in flame being reduced to mere ashes before my eyes. Not even my first failed attempts at cooking chicken on the barbecue approaches the conflagration I am witnessing. Not even the end of the Dodgers' season against the Phillies compares. Not even the Obama health plan's self-destruction ...
