No bad deed goes unpublished

Posted on June 12, 2008 by Rocky Slaughter

Tuesday’s Record Searchlight front page headline was about a particularly ‘incendiary’ editorial (vagueness intended) that was written by the Shasta High School newspaper. After I read the article and all of the offended and/or inflammatory comments that resulted in the… Continue Reading →

By Rocky Slaughter

Posted on April 24, 2008 by Rocky Slaughter

Recall the last time you had horrible service at a restaurant.  You probably found yourself wondering how the waitstaff could sustain themselves by treating their customers so poorly.  Didn’t they want future business?  Didn’t they want a big tip?  Didn’t… Continue Reading →

Shasta County is super-powered on Super Tuesday, By Rocky Slaughter

Posted on February 4, 2008 by Rocky Slaughter

Redding has always enjoyed being different. Our election results are typically ‘unique’ in comparison to those coming from other parts of the state. Unfortunately, our ‘uniqueness’ is quickly trumped by the voting attitudes of the massive urban south. Lucky for us, a new… Continue Reading →
