Buck Owens and more about a snake

Bakersfield has two stories worth blogging. The best, of course, is the Post Office that is being renamed the Buck Owens Post Office.


This actually took an act of Congress! The only part that leaves a bad taste in my mouth is that the 2 ultra-lib senators from the People's Republic of California sponsored the bill. If Bakersfield has a number one tourist attraction it's the Crystal Palace--established by Buck Owens--and a great place to eat, dance, listen to live music and not be embarassed if you're taking your mother along.We've never had a bad meal there or a bad time!
Thank you, Buck!

The second story--also in some ways representative of life in Bako(as the locals call it) is about the local yahoo who took a live rattlesnake, peeled off some of the reptile's skin, and proceeded to eat a piece of it. Supposedly this idiot wanted to qualify for a reality TV show. Now the numbskull is claiming the snake was dead and he was using some slight-of-hand to make the snake twitch so as to appear still alive. Too bad, bubba--the film of this disgusting act already went out over the airwaves on your own video--that snake was still alive! Our own voice of sanity in town, Jaz McKay, who hosts a daily radio talk show covered it best.

I want to re-print the disclaimer that Jaz has at the beginning of his show. These words alone are enough to give him the high ratings he enjoys here. Make Jaz another Bakersfield plus! (Although I do wish he would learn how to use the apostrophe!!)
