 Is Adam Hill a communist or a Marx brother? UPDATE (11:00 PM PST): A tipster forwarded to Razor Online an e-mail Mr. Hill sent to his supporters last Friday at 11:45 PM PST. The e-mail, which called the outrage over the impersonation call to Mrs. Blake “silly season,” is available here.
District 3 Supervisor Adam Hill apparently doesn’t make apologies. He offered none during the January 24 Board of Supervisors meeting in San Luis Obispo, even when publicly sought by a concerned fellow supervisor.
Mr. Hill would have preferred to stay silent and dismiss his critics with icy stares and nasal-toned grunts, but District 1 Supervisor Frank Mecham – and many of Mr. Hill’s critics — weren’t going to let it go.

 Shhhhhh! The County of San Luis Obispo is unlike most counties in California — and across the nation — because of its distinct preference for silence as a general response to public inquiry. Many inquiries and concerns are raised and have been raised by citizens who demand transparency and accountability. However, many of those inquiries and concerns are swept under the rug without recourse. This is the culture of silence, and it’s rudely counter-intuitive to making progress and uncovering the truth about highly questionable governmental practices that have become standard operating procedure in the County.

The Tea Party movement has not done much to raise awareness of specific issues that regularly affect millions of Americans. Instead of issuing a reasonable, thoughtful rebuttal of President Barack Obama’s policies, Tea Party supporters have been preoccupied with producing a fearful caricature of Obama as a “committed socialist idealogue,” a Leftist Leviathan who will do everything in his power to destroy the Constitution. At least, that’s according to Former Congressman and 2008 Republican presidential candidate Tom Tancredo, who spoke to an audience at the first-ever Tea Party Convention in Nashville.
