Carona Walks (Sort Of)
CARONA WALKS (SORT OF)...."America's Sheriff" Michael Carona says it's "an absolute miracle" that he was acquitted of five out of six corruption charges on Friday. 
But it turns out that the criminal code has more to do with it than the redemptive power of God:
In interviews after the trial, jurors said that they believed Carona had illegally accepted cash and gifts but that they were stymied by a statute of limitations that allowed them to consider only acts committed after late October 2002. The government had failed to prove that the conspiracy it alleged among Carona and his associates had involved any overt act after that, the jurors said.
"His hand was in the cookie jar. He was just quick enough to wipe the crumbs off his hands," said juror Jerome Bell, 42, a truck driver from Anaheim.
Sometimes good timing is better than good luck. Anyway, here in The OC we prefer to look forward, not back.
Testing the waters
This is a test. This is only a test.
And here in the OC, we also blow dirty green donkey dicks.
How is this new blog gig working out for you, Kevin? The two and a half people who read this blog and post under different names, must buy a lot of shit from Mojo, to justify your salary!
I thought "America's Sheriff" was Joe Arpaio of Maricopa County, Arizona.
At the risk of sounding vicious, I though the OC was known for being xenophobic and bigoted, not for looking forward(or were you being sarcastic?). OC is the largest sundown town I've ever seen.
Cheers,

Hey Holmes (@2:51) since you are here, I will assume you are the half. That is certainly the quantity of wit you appear to possess.
Alan: Yep, sarcastic. Though, to be fair, I don't think Orange County is actually any more bigoted than most other places in the country. Probably fairly average in that regard.
