Don’t Call This Court “Conservative.” “There’s a bad moon on the rise…”
By Rinaldo Brutoco   |   August 23, 2022

Does it upset you when you hear traditional media refer to the current Supreme Court as dominated by “Conservatives”? If not, it should. The truth is, there is nothing conservative about the current six-person majority of the Supreme Court. They are radical, pure and simple. Referring to these Justices as “conservative” implies that their judicial […]

Pay it Forward
By Montecito Journal   |   April 5, 2022

I’ve been reading some excellent opinions in the Journal. Writers are challenging the Montecito Creek Water Company’s claim to the wonderful life-giving Montecito Hot Springs.

It has scared us, challenged us, made us much more conscious of our presence in each other’s lives and engendered a spirit of common resolve.  At Jeannine’s, we have realized anew, over […]

More Liberal Observations
By Montecito Journal   |   August 23, 2018

Oh, dear. I see that the Journal has published more political emails. I really wish you wouldn’t. They’re mostly pretty stale, even the anti-Trump ones. Les Conrad reaches almost the same degree of derangement, if in less colorful prose. Right off, he suggests that our least Biblically inspired president (in itself, not a bad thing; […]
