Sometimes I wonder if in order to be working for law and justice in government you have to be a bad guy yourself or be totally incompetent. It started couple of weeks ago when LA County Sheriff Lee Baca mysteriosly sent Paris Hilton home. That got LA city attorney Rocky Delgadillo, a friend of Magic Johnson, all upset. He complained bitterly about Baca's action. However, the media then found that Delgadillo's wife had drove with a suspended license. She was found to have no insurance which led to the finding that Delgadillo also had no insurance. Then it was found that his wife had crashed his government car. The government was billed for the repair. The media also found that Delgadillo's staff had to do personal errands for him and babysit for his family. Oh, he was also recently fined for improper campaign finances. Whatever happened to "those who lives in glass houses should not throw stones"?
The police chiefs in LA are always in trouble. The performance of the LA district attorney's office in the O.J. trial was notoriously poor. Here in Ventura County a few years ago the D.A. was found to commit fraud. So it is unlikely that "Law and Order" will be using any of our local hero's stories soon. Of course at the Federal level things are not any better. The best thing you can say about John Ashcroft is that he is no Alberto Gonzalez.
This will be my last blog until I come back from vacation. Writing over the internet under my blog name will probably get me screened and arrested while I am visiting China. Of course having complained about the law enforcement dept. here, they probably won't let me come back!
