In October 2007, 144 homes sold. This year, that number increased to 178. The largest number of sales were in the $200,000-$250,000 bracket with 49 homes sold. Almost 90% of the homes sold were listed at $350,000 or less. The number of active home lis
I don't know why the lady became so angry. All I was doing was praying my rosary outside the abortion clinic and a big ugly lady ran up to me and took my protest sign and swung it with all her force right into my ey

The Oct. 16 cartoon and column finally jolted me enough to write to counter your obvious ultraliberal bent.

In the candy store: The Democrats are just drooling that Congress will be the liberal candy store after this election cycle. You know, sweeteners and sugar-coated goodies, ushering in this "progressive" administration. However, you won't find any Goobers or Suckers inside. They're the stooges outside waitin' for
You know you're in a conservative county when the most liberal and pro-environmentalist member of the Board of Supervisors berates the U.S. Forest Service for being too restrictive on all-terrain vehicles.
Why I Can't Vote For Obama By Huntley Brown Dear Friends, A few months ago I was asked for my perspective on Obama, I sent out an email with a few points. With the election jus
. . . the most liberal and pro-environmentalist member of the Board of Supervisors berates Forest Service officials (quite effectively, I'd add) about being too restrictive on ATVs. From the story about yesterday's supes meeting: Supervisor Mark Cibula said the...
If you are not a Liberal or have your own opinion, you will not be able to share and listen to others who have the same opinions as you do, well at least on the radio. This attack on our freedom does not stop at public airwaves, but the subscription stations on satellite that [...]

Today on Meet the Press, General Colin Powell endorsed Barack Obama for president. While this endorsement does not close off all arguments against Barack Obama, it should be sufficient to put a stop to the fringe argumen

It starts with the Bill Ayers innuendo again. Chris Mathews is trying to ask Representative Michele Bachmann (R Minnesota) if it is OK to try to fan the flames of hate and division in this country through the Republican Robocalls which imply that Barack Obama is currently involved with someone (Bill Ayers) who is current
I suddenly feel valuable. It happened today after I read a Record Searchlight article about how Wal-Mart’s expansion of its Dana Drive store in Redding has supersized the city’s permit valuation.
I was concerned about Redding’s permit valuation. You see, Anderson is rolling in dough because its W
The Dumbplumber…life outside the D.C. cesspoolWell now they have gone and done it. They are picking on a plumber, “Joe The Plumber” to be exact, and I’m mad as hell and not gonna take it any more.

The year was 1960. I was in my first year in college. The presidential election was fewer than 30 days away. The reaction was: “Why can’t we just vote no?”
The debates had gone on and were still to come. The attacks and counterattacks on television and in the newspapers and the radi
I've always been ambivalent as to whether a newspaper needs to "endorse" a Presidential candidate. I can make up my mind, thank you very much.However, the way Silas Lyons backed out of endorsing a Presidenti

Neither John or Sarah are lawyers. Both Barack and Biden “ARE” lawyers.Today, proctologists all over Washington D.C. are busier than $2 dollar hookers on bowling night. You see, both McCain and Palin are reformers, but Palin has actually “done” something as a governor of Alaska. She took on the
You periodically hear some Redding locals complain about Bay Area liberals taking over the place and changing the hometown they loved, but I had an interesting conversation this afternoon that reminded me of Bill Bishop's thesis about the "Big Sort."...
Daniel Roche's Sunday letter, "Give liberalism another look," included facts about John Kennedy's presidency that were so far from accurate I had to laugh. The letters should be factual as possible. Roche's statements were so far off fact that someone in the editorial department should have File 13'd i
Conservatives, as well as liberals, would undoubtedly be happier living in the kind of world envisioned by the left.Very few people have either a vested interest or an ideological preference for a world in which there are many inequalities.
Franklin Cibula died Tuesday.
He was 66, dead of a gun shot to the chest.
Cibula was an old-Redding staple. He was a brow-furrowing, feather-ruffling, liberal-thinking, underdog-defending old-school attorney.

Bruce Ross, who was only trying to verify some data at first, stumbled onto and then became somewhat obsessed with the gap between common sense and state statistics when it comes to the college-going rate of north state high school grads. I think obsessed is justified, given that he posted a

You know, I think there is one person Sarah Palin is probably a lot smarter than: Silas Lyons. However, similar to
Maybe it's the childhood redneck in me, but I find Sarah Palin to be one of the most flat-out interesting candidates for national office I have ever seen. I'm not talking politics here, just personal story and force of personality. I can't look away.
If I had to sum up the feelings I've heard from Democrats (mind
he liberal Democrats are exposing their true colors with Sarah Palin. They're all for women's rights, women being successful and even being president — unless you are Republican and conservative.
Why has she been attached so viciously?She has been attacked more fiercely than any other candidate in history.Why?Because, if she is elected with Senator McCain, and embraced by the people, there could be
ST. PAUL, Minn. — Republicans assailed Barack Obama as the most liberal, least experienced White House nominee in history Tuesday night and enthusiastically extolled their own man John McCain as "ready to lead this nation." Delegates at the GOP National Convention rallied behind running mate Sarah Palin in the
Assemblyman Doug LaMalfa is a small-government Republican whose reaction to most proposed new laws is to scoff at the liberals' latest crazy idea. But just as a museum piece, let's highlight a new law (well, the governor hasn't signed it...
Leftist ideologues like Joan Manning (Aug. 27), prideful of their sensitivity to nuances, typically engage in stereotyping. She tendentiously catalogs the vices of McCain voters, and the virtues of Obama voters. Why not simply declare: conservative Republicans are demons, Liberal Democrats are angels. That is si
Firefighters have contained a 120-acre blaze burning between Highway 99 and the east side of Interstate 5 near Liberal Avenue in Corning.
Evacuations have been ordered for some Corning residences because of a fire that started along Interstate 5 near Liberal Avenue about 11:40 a.m. today.
Reserve Officer Training Corps programs have been easy targets for protest in the liberal academic world.
Somebody really needs to explain to me just how it is that Liberals can complain about the National Debt in one breath, then can’t wait for Obama’s health care initiative, raising taxes on the rich and big corporations(which everyone knows will simply be passed forward t
Is McCain, 71, too old to be president? Well, Robert Redford turned 71 today. If he, Warren Beatty or Dustin Hoffman - all vigorous men still practicing their craft -- had a hankering for the Oval Office, think Hollywood liberals,...
Less than a month ago, a man walked into a Unitarian Church in Tennessee and shot nine people with a shotgun, killing two them. Police found a letter in the murderer's car expressing his "hatred of the liberal movement."
It's often the greens using the California Environmental Quality Act to block major construction projects, but the Red Bluff City Council is no den of lefty tree-huggers. Nonetheless, they voted this week to sue the Tehama-Colusa Canal Authority over plans...
The good folks of the Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church in Knoxville, Tenn., will take their time to heal. I send them my caring thoughts about their great loss resulting from a man whose bigotry took the form of hating indiscriminately all “liberals.” Although he did discover the right place to
Dad calls me a bleeding-heart liberal. There are worse things, I figure, than giving a damn about people and what happens to them. I wear that label as a badge of honor. Cool.
Dad grins at that.

Dear Mr. Herger,I post my opinions on my website, dumbplumber@blogspot.com, but it doesn’t take a Dumbplumber to realize that America is facing it’s biggest threat since 9-11. Perhaps you haven’t noticed, but the current energy crisis is little more than a fabrication by Liberal forces to cram the green a
On July 18, President Bush and Rep. Wally Herger visited Redding to check on the status of the fires, and give pats on the back to our hard-working firefighters. The reception was overall great, but a few liberals took the opportunity to protest Herger, saying that he had been a "no-show" during the fires, until
Which is worse? A presidential candidate who says mistakenly that Pakistan and Iraq share a border or a presidential candidate who says that there are 58 states? Liberals excused Barack Obama, saying he was “tired,” but criticized John McCain. Where’s the integrity? Even schoolchildren know there are 50 st
