Roger Hedgecock's a Cock
|
Hedgecock is a local AM conservative radio pundit. He’s San Diego’s very own Rush Limbaugh. He’s also our ex-mayor and, in a long tradition of San Diego politicians, an ex-convict. Obviously he’s no hero of mine and I made that clear in my comment. Still, I was curious as to what kind of listeners tuned into Hedgecock’s show and so I checked out the site. Mostly it’s smut … funny smut (see the picture above) but there are also some self-portraits. How many people of color have sent in their picture to Roger Hedgecock’s Moblog? That’s right: 0. I have stopped listening to Hedgecock’s show because it is filled with hate and lacks anything remotely intelligent, but don’t trust me, tune into AM 600 from 3 pm to 6 pm Monday through Friday. |

[Philanthropy] Stay Human
I hesitantly decided to become involved in philanthropy because I believe that civil society has an important role to play in bringing about a more sustainable, just, and well governed 21st century society. Businesses and governments have their fundamental roles

Fiscal Transparency (is Not Enough)
OpenSpending.org has simple goal that is extraordinarily difficult to achieve: wherever you may live, you enter in how much you earn per month, press a button, and poof, a stunning visualization of where your tax money goes. Let’s say I’m

Back to My Printing Press
I started blogging at el-oso.net in December 2003. I didn’t expect it to last long; mostly I wanted to keep a travel diary for a road trip around Mexico, and I figured, why not keep it on the Internet? Several

It was about five o’clock in the morning when Cindylu, with her sweet little voice — all chamomile and honey — says, “Oso, you should probably put some vaseline in your butt crack.” That’s when I knew I was in

To get a good historical sense of Hedgecock’s background and who funds his right agenda–check out Mike Davis’ essay “The Next Little Dollar: The Private Governments of San Diego.” in the book Under the Perfect Sun: The San Diego Tourists Never See (New Press, 2003) it also contains essays by Kelly Mayhew and Jim Miller mapping out Rebellion and Repression in San Diego and marginal histories.
This book is a must for all San Diegans, buy them for b-days, christmas, loss of virginity, graduation, give them to new born babies, immigrants, soldiers, policeman on the streets (maybe not this one–knowing SD police you might get a nightstick upside the hide)
Thanks for talking the truth about the spoiled Roger the Dodger–peace,

I just finished ‘Under the Perfect Sun’ as well. It is a real eye opener.
yeah, she’s cute.
Oso, if you can get ahold of Davis — or anyone else you feel is deserving. Feel free to interview them! I bet it would be easier than you think!
if that were an image of a black guy with lips so large he couldn’t see the ball, would you still find it funny??? there is nothing funny about that picture because there is nothing funny about sexism OR racism. get your heads out of your asses, boys!
You are on the money about Roger. Power to the people!
En vez de atacar a la persona en cuestion mejor, enfrentese a los temas. las tacticas que usas son las mismas que yo experimente en mi pais nativo, Cuba comunista.
