IN THE LAND OF THE TINY BRAIN FOLK
Buy locally, unless you're the government of Costa Mesa...
At last week's Silly Council meeting, Mayor Pro Tem Leece made a big point of telling the audience that they should all buy whatever they need in Costa Mesa to help our local economy.
That was right before Leece and the rest of the Silly Council voted to spend $304, 966 of our tax money with vendors from Fullerton, Orange and Irvine.
But it wasn't before the CM PRESS told the Council that they should also buy locally.

So, dear citizens, the next time you want to save money by going to WalMart in Huntington Beach, you be sure to not go there and instead spend more than you have to spend to get the same item right here in Costa Mesa.
Victoria Street has too many speeding cars, so...
The big problem on Victoria Street west of Placentia is that there are too many speeding cars there. The problem isn't that the road is rough.
You may recall that three guys in a speeding car hit a telephone pole on Victoria and were killed last year.
So, what did the Silly Council do at their last meeting?
They gushed about removing telephone poles so cars won't hit them. The CM PRESS pointed out to the Silly Council that the poles aren't the problem and actually probably save more lives by stopping cars before they crash into the children's playground or condos along the street or into people on the sidewalk.
In fact, one citizen, who owns a condo on Victoria but on the other side of the street from the poles, also told the Silly Council that cars crash into her condo. The CM PRESS then suggested that the Council put in some telephone poles in front of her condo to stop the cars.
The Silly Council also gushed about the new smoother, rubberized surface that's going to be put on Victoria so you'll have less road noise.

When the job is done, you won't even have a sound cue as your car speeds along Victoria. Swell.
Just put the pedal to the metal and jet along in comfort and silence. Soon, you won't even have to slow down to avoid the telephone poles on the side of the road. So, if your car jumps the curb, it may be able to travel right into the tot lot in Victoria Park.
