- Facing budget challenges, Metrolink is pondering massive cuts to the Antelope Valley line, which stops at three stations in Santa Clarita. At least 17 trains, including 11 on weekdays, may be cut even though the Antelope Valley line is one of Metrolink’s more productive lines. In addition, fares may go up. DAILY NEWS, METROLINK
- Los Angeles County supervisors get millions of dollars a year in discretionary funds and spend that money however they like, the LA Times reports. Our supervisor, Antonovich, seems to spend his funds mostly on donations to various charities and institutions in the 5th District. But what’s the $275,000 given to the City of Santa Clarita over the course of 3 years about? LA TIMES, PROJECT SITE
- To really appreciate Captain Anthony LaBerge, captain of the SCV Sheriff’s Station, you have to realize what it was like before he came on board. A station commander out on medical live, a website from the mid 1990s and fewer outreach programs. KHTS has a good report
- A Facebook group seeking to ban pet stores from selling puppies and kittens for profit in Santa Clarita has over 220 members. The group, led by a woman named Caroline Squires, says its goal is to get the City of Santa Clarita to create an ordinance banning the sale of puppies and kittens that come from ‘puppy mills.’ You can watch the group’s video at their FACEBOOK PAGE
- Dave Bossert says that you can thank David Gauny for leading the Santa Clarita City Council on anti illegal immigration. I suppose that’s one way to look at it (or the City decided to strip Gauny of this issue). On the other hand, three cheers for Laurie Ender for standing up to the mob and having the courage of her convictions in her vote on Tuesday night. WRB

Hey Jeff.
I feel like a savvy wallstreet investor this morning.
Managed to pick up a couple of HOT urls which I heard is the hot new investment. I hear I am going to make some pretty good dividends…
Got Scvblogs.net and Scvblogs.org directed them to one of the best blogs in Santa Clarita.
Oh and picked up blazingmonk.org
Very sad this morning! My favorite gerbil “Scratchy” Suffocated last night
that sucks! Sorry to hear about scratchy
I won’t even ask how.
That church that is nearing completion is in NORTHBRIDGE and not Bridgeport.
RIP Merlin Olsen and Willie Davis. Bad week for 60′s/70′s LA sport stars.
New Murals: call me Townbeet Downer but don’t The CVC murals portray the SCV as an adreline loving, arts and music community? Where are the rows of houses and street preachers and prop 8 supporters and the Newhall day workers and the fake rubber trees?
Thanks BM! He had been suffering from very low self esteem for years
Finally someone has the balls to say the truth

Just read today that new polls show 1 out of 5 people believe Obama is doing a good job! Now if you eliminate drug addicts-people on welfare- IDIOTS and Blacks! It is 1 out of 50
Nice math there, John. Did you use the “David Duke Theorem” to arrive at that tasty conclusion?
The dead gerbil thing just started to make a little more sense now.
Don’t feed the trolls especially when they continue to buy gerbils which mysterious die of “suffocation”
The stock blogs are reporting that there has been a huge volume of purchases of “Out of the Money Puts” against Lennar stock. Those kinds of trades bet that Lennar’s stock price will go down in the near future.
I wonder what about Lennar these stock mavens are seeing that Santa Claritans are not?
I may have been wrong on the numbers? So lets put Postal workers in there too. That should fix the problem! Very boring and quiet night without Scratchy
How about we do a SCVTalk poll? If you think obama is doing a good job just say so! I want to see how close we are to the national numbers of 1 out of 50
Oh and if you do answer “YES” please put your sub-category in. Like “I” for idiot and “W” welfare and so on. It will help me with my final tabulations
JA – Your poll wouldn’t work here. There aren’t 50 people to poll. (sorry Jeff, couldn’t let it pass)
Is my VP being a little bitch again? Behavior yourself ADAMS, or I will give you a another titty twister like after we ratified the constitution.
ND – Exactly what I was doing and it was just a tongue in cheek comment.
Apology accepted. Save me a cup.
So far we have Zero YES’s! It may be 1 out of 60?
“Behavior yourself ADAMS”
LOL That is so 1776
Neo-Cons love internet polls. My mother does the same thing… sends an email to everyone in here address book telling them to run over the Msnbc and vote on their online poll on whether we should remove “in god we trust”.
George Washington is a G. Purple nurples should be in the Constitution. Where were you on that one Adams?
John, don’t you mean more like 1788?
No I meant 1776. That is how military guys spoke back then
in 1776, they said it with a lisp. By 1788, the game had changed. You don’t strike me as lispy.
Military Guys?
He would always do this when John Sullivan and “Mad” Anthony Wayne would come over.. for the 100th time ADAMS you have always been a pussy LAWYER! He is like an annoying little brother. We will give you another wedgie!
Now get me another scotch and tell Jefferson to stop eyeballing my slaves.
Hey, George… I’m eying your cherry tree.
LOL George Thanks for the laughs!
Oh and still not one yes. It may be 1 out of 70?
OMG! Is the Blazer a “Closet Capitalist”?
