Keeping the liars honest

September 11, 2011

Ok… had enough…. We are going to make a change on comments….. I am sick and tired of  those anonymous commentators that  first don’t think we can figure out who they are and then say absolute bull shit once they are able to comment. We can always figure out who you are but it makes it a lot easier for all of the administrators here if we only allow registered users.  We have thousands… We actually have scores that actually do comment too. I do not feel that it...

Oh Theater 29… Come out, come out where ever you are

Not long ago before an audience which included Mayor Jim Harris and the Twentynine Palms City Manager, and a self-imposed bigshot from Theater 29 was blowing smoke about how they were going to seek out matching public funding for their new city performing arts theater — a $4.7 million RDA adventure of empire building and grand off-street parking. Where are you people now? The City Council, its staff and the public are finished with the game of hide ‘n seek.  It’s time to ‘walk the walk’. Show the town the...

HELP! The Hi-Desert Cultural Center’s New American Flag Is Missing!

Does anyone know what happened to the Hi-Desert Cultural Center’s new American flag? We are hoping that someone accidentally broke the light that illuminates the flag and that another kind someone saw that the flag was not lit and took it down last night and has it in safekeeping. If that’s not the case, then it appears that someone is either very unpatriotic, or someone doesn’t have warm feelings for us. What we found this morning was that the light bulb inside the fixture illuminating the now missing flag...

Isn’t It IRONic? The Return of the Iron Age to the Iron Age Mine

Steel, made from iron, is the most used metal in the world. Steel was once the measure of a country’s strength and the United States was King of Steel from the American Revolution thru the end of World War II. America’s iron production continued through the 1960s but due to other countries developing cheaper ways to mine ore and produce steel, the US’s steel production declined. Currently, China is the world’s leading importer of iron and thereby is the world’s leader in steel production. In the early 1800s, large stores...

Male Menopause Syndrome Besieges 29 Palms Councilmen

COMMENTARY | OPINION JULY 28, 2011 By Branson Hunter First off, I suggest the five city council comedians car pool over to Sullivan Road. There, they will see a famous, thriving and much loved working performing arts theater that the town owns –  free and clear of any encumbrances.  If they all can’t fit into the Mayormobile, I offer the back of my pickup. The dog rides in the cab. Someone remarked the other day, it may be better to have the Three Stooges in concert with Laurel &...
