Predictable: Actions taken, words spoken, both easily foretold by those paying attention.
Not Websters, but my own definition, relating entirely to the tactics employed by our leadership in the continuing character assasination of Michael Hastings.
Many remember Mr. Hastings and his article in Rolling Stone that brought down the career of General Stanley Mc Chrystal.
How after meeting with a person of interest in his continuing reporting on the War of Terror, his new Mercedes roadster accelerated on the streets of Hancock Park, L.A. into a tree during an early a.m. single car "accident"...Of course L.A.s Coroner found drugs in the toxicology report, that was a pre-ordained given. No alcohol, but they did find medical marijuana and amphetamine.
I'm guessing the speed inspired him to drive his car as fast as possible into the tree?
Just to see how fast he could get there?
Or he was so despondent over his notoriety, PTSD, and the medical MJ he decided to end it?
If it were not so ominous a warning against those who dig to deep; it would be almost laughable in the way it mirrors the old Soviet system of "death by accident", while simultaneously destroying the dead persons public image with tales of drunken drug fueled debauchery.
Really, don't you think that well has run dry?
How gullible are we?
Rest in Peace Michael Hastings, rest in peace.

Blocked by the Fresno Bee
Good morning dear readers, today as normal, I began my day by reading the local rag on line with my morning joe.
Also as usual I logged in to Disqus so I might comment on the never ending cycle of stupidity that is Fresno City and County government.
Many times in the past I have participated in the Disqus forum attached to the Fresno Bee fish wrap rag, tweaking our abundantly illiterate, ignorant population spouting Faux News idioms.
This morning when I attempted to weigh in on Mayor Ashley Swearingen's plan to overpay herself and the Chief of Police Jerry Dyer; by laying off city workers who actually do the day to day heavy lifting required to run a city of 500,000 plus, I could not.
Ashley's unilateral move laying off vital code enforcement officers is clearly a retaliatory move in the wake of her failed attempt to privatize trash collection in Fresno.
Kudos to the good citizens of Fresno who voted her efforts at political patrimony into the dustbin
Yes in the past I have used, shall we say direct language, to describe the blatant incompetence and corruption exhibited by the leaders of Fresno; but nothing to warrant being blocked from commenting in the local governments mouthpiece.
Unless of course you happen to be Ashley, Jerry or the equally monstrous Maggie Mims.
For instance; in the past I have commented on Maggies' running a revolving door of criminality through her jail by allowing the nations most prolific car thieves to make Fresno number one in car theft.
Her penchant for misquoting law, placing the county in tenuous legal territory with regard to the medical marijuana issue; and worst of all her completely inept handling of the Minkler incident, have made her a favorite target.
Jerry Dyer is a trough feeding muscle bound steroid pumping bully.
He takes a full salary from the city to be chief, AND he collects a retirement pension from the city at the same time.
He retired so he could protect .25% of his 8.25% tax payer funded public pension; but because he's so "irreplaceable" Ashley lobbied hard for him to get a raise and stay on.
Who knew that anyone could be so indispensable, so worthy of becoming a millionaire at the public expense.
Jerry, you're having too much fun, and find it far too easy to harass the homeless than it is to take on gang bangers on their turf.
Last and least is Ashley, her attempts to gut the city of workers, while handing that work to her campaign contributors; with an eye towards using those funds to overpay herself and Jerry is just the tip of the iceberg. How about the street she wants to put through Fulton Mall.
Ashley take a trip to Pasadena, wander around the Paseo Pasadena, with your city credit card of course, and get a good idea of what Fulton Mall could be.
You'll notice a street does not run through it.
