Orange Juice blogger Thomas Gordon was at the City of Santa Ana‘s basketball Exhibition game yesterday. He reports that Councilwoman Michele Martinez was the high scorer. Santa Ana Mayor Miguel Pulido’s team prevailed however over Martinez’ squad. However, Pulido showed up and played in a collared shirt – which might be the dorkiest thing I have ever heard of.
Santa Ana School Board member John Palacio got injured before the game even started. Apparently he pulled something while carrying in a water cooler, or something to that effect. I am told that he is now using crutches while he heals up. Get well soon John!
Fellow Orange juice blogger Sean Mill suited up and, according to Gordon, he got flattened in one questionable play, possibly by Councilman Vince Sarmiento. Mill didn’t get the expected foul call!
Here are the rosters of those who played in the game:
Nutrition Team- White Shirts
Claudia Alvarez- Mayor Pro- Tem- Guard
Michele Martinez, Council Member- Guard
Vincent Sarmiento, Council Member- Guard
John Palacio- School Board member- Forward
Joe Yanes- Community Leader-Center
Jorge Galdamez M.D.
Well Art,
Most of the damage is done by Martinez and her empty acts, like Gang Prevention Commission.
Nature abhors a vacuum. If Pulido is going to sit on his hands, I expect the other Council Members will have to fill the void.
Pulido by the way did not allow the Gang Prevention Commission to use the word “gang.” Nice contribution there Mike.
“(Gang violence is exploding in our city – and the council responds by going after massage parlors? Am I missing something here?)”
Yes Art, You are missing to admit that the council is 86% Mexican.
Vince Sarmiento was able to knock Sean to the ground? Wow, a lesson to all that size sometimes doesn’t matter.
I guess that settles quien es mas macho on the City Council.
Poster 3,
Oh I am sure things would just be hunky dory if only there were a few Czechs on the Council…
Speaking about Czechs #5,
The entire country has about 15 million population, lest than illegal Mexicans in the California, 99% literacy and economy larger than Mexico and that is after about 50 years of communism and only about 18 years of free economy.
So the Mexicans are the Monkeys to Czechs comparatively.
Today 86% Mexicans voted to shut down massage business in Santa Ana allegedly because you may have a good time there.
Czechs are prosperous just because they allow good time.
poster #6 are you sure, you might want to double check
Czechoslovakia does not exist anymore.
#6
Chzech republic GDP 155.9 Billion
Mexico GDP 1 trillion
re check your facts
This is Stanley Fiala spouting his theory that Mexicans are genetically inferior to Europeans and in particular to Chzechs.That is why he points out the monkey comparison.
# 6 is correct:
From CIA report GDP – per capita (PPP):
Mexico $10,600 (2006 est.)
Czech Republic $21,600 (2006 est.)
Czech have about double GDP per capita
I guess its the way you look at it #10.
I am not quite sure what #6 was saying. to me he was saying that the Chzeck republic has a bigger economy that the mexican which is clearly not the case 155 billion compared to 1 trillion. they also have 10 million people while the mexicans have over 100 million. your GDP per capita comparison stems from that.
He said the entire economy was bigger than mexico’s, that simply is not the case based on total GDP output.
#11
I believe that #6 in response to #5 was elevating Czech genius over the Mexican one.
In such case only per capita numbers count.
While Mexicans cannot support their population by their 1T. GDP Czechs can provide twice more for their population.
I understand #12.
but also understand then by using that standard and your terminology
the per capita GDP of Luxembourg elevates the Luxenbourg genius to almost twice that of the USA.
so can we say that the Luxembourg citizen is therefore more productive, more efficient and smarter than his American counterpart?
slight adjustment to my comment
the GDP (PPP) of Luxembourg is twice as big as America
the traditional GDP measurement without the purchasing adjustment of Luxembourg is 56% greater than America’s

Nice! 1 Million dollars given to the city of Santa Ana. Wow what are the council members going to do with it, give it to education, HA HAHAHA. That’s a joke. Everyone knows they’ll pocket that money and any more that comes in every which way!
Guys, guys, guys. Hello. We are talking about city of S.A. and gangs. Be grown adults and stick to the subject and omit racism. Thank you very much.
