Napoleon complex is a colloquial term describing an alleged type of inferiority complex which is said to affect some people, especially men, who are short in stature.
Stoker's wife confirms: Mike's pretty little!
When failed ex-editorial director Travis Armstrong of the New-Press left town for Palm Springs, Mike Stoker lost a pal, a
buddy...when Mike was running for some office, Travis would praise him in editorials and have him on the NewsPress radio show..ie bankroll his candidacy with free publicity....I've always been perplexed by this. Why would anyone want Mike Stoker running things...just look at his past..a total bust and flop. Now, the News-Press has come to Stoker's aid again. This time it's a front page story with Mike accusing Das Williams of being a coward for not showing up at a debate because he's a left wing fanatic who supports public employee unions...Das said it was a scheduling conflict being that he's a rather busy guy. Stoker claims Das is afraid to debate him, a typical little man statement...of course this is more yellow journalism from the News-Press, a paper owned by one of
the biggest cowardly hypocrites in California ..one Mrs. Wendy McCow sic...ok, you already know this but let's look at the relationship Stoker had with Greka Oil and right wing cronies like Brooks Firestone and Tom McKlintock, anti-regulation folks who think it's ok to spill and pollute...do you think these guys would be so protective of Greka if it was spilling sewage instead of oil?usatoday
LOS OLIVOS, Calif. — When a Firestone Vineyard employee discovered oil trickling down a creek in January in this wine country town, the source of the contamination was no surprise to firefighters.
Of 21 refineries in California, Greka Oil & Gas Inc. is the fourth-smallest producer, but the state's biggest inland oil polluter, according to state officials.
Broken pumps, busted pipes, overflowing ponds and cracked tanks at Greka installations have spilled more than a half-million gallons of oil and contaminated water since 1999, fouling the water, soil and air in the Southern California county many consider the birthplace of the nation's environmental movement.
Over the past nine years, the Santa Barbara County Fire Department has responded at least 400 times to oil spills and gas leaks at Greka, resulting in fines, citations, federal and local prosecutions and investigations by the Environmental Protection Agency and state Fish and Game..taxpayers paid for the county visits!
Brooks Firestone, whose family leases land to Greka, was one of two members of the county Board of Supervisors who blocked an emergency hearing on Greka in December. He said the staff needed more time to prepare, and warned board members not to become hysterical.
"To me, a huge event involving oil was the Kuwaiti oil fields that were fired by the Iraqi army in the first Gulf War, the 1969 oil spill in the channel, the Valdez tanker and the Normandy tanker," Firestone said at the time. "What is the meaning of this incident?"
Days later, on Jan. 5, Greka spilled more than 190,000 gallons of oil and contaminated water on the land it leases from the Firestone estate. Since that spill, Firestone has withdrawn from deciding matters related to Greka.
Firestone, an heir to the tire fortune, said it would be too difficult to calculate how much income he receives from Greka. On political disclosure forms, he said he owns only 9 percent of the vineyard land on which the Greka installation sits. Officials have to own at least 10 percent of a business to disclose income from it.
A former county supervisor, Mike Stoker, has served as a Greka spokesman and said he was hired last year as a consultant to improve the company's relationship with local regulators and help Greka become a "better corporate citizen." He would not say what Greka pays him. Stoker is also the $60,720-a-year district representative for state Sen. Tom McClintock.
Mike Stoker...always overpaid, shady and too little for the big job ahead....
