CURT
Born in 1967 in Walnut Creek, CA I enlisted into the Marine Corps at the age of 18 in 1986. I went into a communication MOS and was stationed in 29 Palms, Camp Pendleton, and spent my last year in Okinawa. I discharged in 1990 and joined the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department in 1991 (after undergoing a 11 month hiring process) and have been with the department ever since then.
A political junkie since my early days in High School I still have vivid memories arguing with my liberal mother over Reagan, and even though I was too young to vote in 1984 I actively campaigned for Reagan by placing signs and stickers where ever I could.
I support President Bush 110%, and the War on Terror, and actively work to expose the ongoing liberal bias in our MSM.

SKYE

Skye has accumulated degrees in Biology and Laboratory Science from Holy Family University and she is considering pursuing her MBA/MHA. Outside of collecting multiple degrees, Skye is an avid photographer, videographer, world trekker, certified scuba diver, and culinary goddess (more or less).

Three fast facts:
Skye is a Democrat, she loves SciFi, and she votes – please do not confuse her as being liberal.
Skye is in shock and awe that Wordsmith is NOT from Nantuket.
MATAHARLEY
Vietnam era Navy wife who continued the military/gypsy lifestyle long after the former hubby’s deployment ended. By 1980, and after extensive travel of all the beautiful US, she planted not-too-deep roots in LALA land, working as a sound editor in the film sound business for 17 years. In the late 80s, she bought a Harley – a move that started her on the path to political awareness. There’s nothing like being “profiled” for your ride to kick up a body’s involvement, eh?
The glitter and glamour of LA tarnished with time, exposure to the denizens, and her own age. So Mata moved north to Oregon just before the Millennium. Now hiding out in Oregon’s greenery – cleverly undercover as a speck of red in a sea’o’blue – she’s political research junkie, a skeptic of just about everything (thus the research junkie status…) and a fierce Independent who ended up registering GOP to have some say in ANY primary.
Right….
Mata started blogging in early 21st century when friend and activist, Alia Darrow invited her to be a co-contributor to Alia’s Vibes. They’ve since moved on to their newer site, called Sea2Sea. Per MataHarley’s account, “I never cared if anyone read my blog rants. I use it to vent my frustrations… these dissertations give my emotions a much needed release. Because, ya know, life’s just too short to be consumed with anger.”
She’s moved on from the original, local motorcycle issues that started her on this path. Now she keeps a weather eye on the international and national horizons – most especially the Middle East and the global Islamic jihad movement. Like everyone else, 911 redirected her focus.
But she still b*#ches about wearing a helmet…
