The bus stopped by the Butte County Courthouse last Monday because of a delivery truck out front. As it edged forward, I noticed a sign on the side window of a black Dodge Dakota. A few feet later, I was lined up perfectly across from the SUV right outside my window with the license plate […]
Editor’s Note: Kyle Buis is taking the week off to celebrate the 74th anniversary of Al Capone’s conviction for income tax evasion. Filling in for him will be former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, R-Texas….kind of. After reading about what a blatantly leftist opinion page you poor college students have to suffer through, I knew […]
Don’t get too comfortable with your classes this semester. Chico State just might be reclaimed by the people who say they had it first. Butte County supervisor Jane Dolan mentioned last Tuesday that the Mechoopda Indian Tribe has the right to take back the land Chico State sits on. She later said it was “hyperbole.” […]
September is still mostly summer. There is no reason on this earth that the flu should be dancing around like this. However, Murphy’s Law says one thing: If something can go wrong, it will.

The Crazy Horse Saloon will be a little crazier May 25, as the California Cowboys perform with headliner Chris Cagle. The California Cowboys will be recording their first video for “The Party’s Over” at the beginning of the night. A crew from Fox 30 will film the video to repay a debt from station owner […]
