Where Is Mayor Sam?

SamLike any of you prune sucking Jim Hann malcontents really need to know. I've been "on assignment" somewhere else and sadly have not had much time to tend to my blog. But don't fret, I'll be back soon and will be making some changes and upgrades for the better. Stay tuned.

In the meantime, get out there and vote early and often to send Mayor Poopy packing. I am sure I will regret voting for Tony Villar, but what the hell other choice does Mayor Sam have? I doubt it can be worse than what we have right now, and even if it is, it will at least be good for my blog to have you guys here bitching about ADV.

I wish to give major kudos to Chief Parker for keeping the blog going in my stead. He's doing a terrific job.

Now, back to my secret mission. I will be back soon. Go gargle with razor blades and blog away dumbshits.

(PS: Sac Nighties send me an email, I want to talk with you).

What the hell's with the "promo" car for DWP Mayor Sam? DWP's a monopoly, they don't need PR! At least that's what all the Hahn-haters keep saying.

I don't suppose there's any chance that those DWP flak contracts were for such worthless things as promoting conservation, and intelligent energy and water use. Noble things intended to keep the lights on in the city and the somewhat clean water flowing through the taps while all the county people were crashing their hard drives during brown outs caused by non-DWP providers paying Gray-out Davis-pumped up fees.

You asked for it Mayor Sam. You are missed...As Antonio Villaraigosa campaigns for mayor in the Jewish community, he will face the same big question asked by all non-Latino voters: Are you too Mexican?

Whoever posted the comment about brown-outs must not live in LA.

Because of David Freeman's knowledge, LA got an exemption and did not seel its power plants, threfore, during the Gray-out, LADWP was a seller, not a buyer of power.

The only problems we suffered were from traffic tie-ups when Beverly Hills, Culver City and Santa Monica's lights went haywire.

You won't need to regret voting for ADV, Mayor Sam. He can't and won't win. You won't be a alone in throwing your vote away - but no candidate who's legislative record is so one-sided, and who's future plans for the city so vague (on purpose), can move past his background as an ultra-liberal to connect with the one-third moderate-to-right side of the city enough to get 50+ percent.

Fear will drive them away, and it's justified. Not unreasonable "racist" fear like his handlers will try to show, but fear of an unknown, backed by the harmful "known" that is his pandering, tax-and-spend past.

Tic, tic, tic, ADV campaigners... only a few weeks left and still no Eastsiders listed on little Tony's endorsement list under "community leaders."

WHY no LOVE from the activist and the "do-ers" on your home turf, Tony V. This endorsement business is all about scratching backs, ADV -- but apparently the ONLY backs you been scratching have been elsewhere in the city, and out-of-town.

Can someone please explain why Eastside community leaders, especially Latinos, supported Hertzberg (in the primary) and Hahn then and now, in such large numbers.

I can, they know ADV way TOO well to trust him with higher office (sorry the rest of you are relying on BLIND faith). . .

previous poster it's abvious why Antonio doesn't have Latinos on his website. He doesn't want to be associated with Latinos. That will hurt him. He thinks he's white right now and is playing the race card. He doesn't want the blacks to think he'll support his own kind rather then have them lose political power. He'll paint Hahn as a racist for getting rid of the most corrupt Police chief Parks. He thinks that will piss off the blacks but word is it will definitely backfire.

The only brown-out L.A. will experience is the 500,000 Latinos elligible to vote - that means citizens, either not registered to vote or suffering from ADV apathy - that will stay home on election day. Imagine if Tony used a miniscule portion of that $8 million he has spent on himself in the last five years to register and mobilize Latinos. Even Tony's whore buddy Antonio Gonzalez of Southwest Voter Registration Project couldn't screw that up. What did you lose by in 2001 one Parke? 40,000 votes. What will you lose by in 2005, 25,000 votes.

The two groups don't have identical memberships, even though there's obviously a huge overlap. But, there is a big difference in their approaches now. The first won't give up trying to paint Hahn as dirty regardless, while the second group has pretty much given up on making ADV seem competent.

WHERE IS MAYOR SAM? No, where is Antonio Villaraigosa? According to the heading for his latest campaign e-mail he's "on the move."

His campaign people really must be the Kings of Denial, because they really don't get this business about staying away from certain "code" words and phrases that help to betray Tony's own weaknesses. But there it is in the cry for cash:

"We're on the move"

Even a fence-sitter could have fun with that one -- Tony V. who quickly moved into CD14 from his decade-long home in CD1 to run for council, who's already got campaigns funds collecting to run for a state seat next year, and they blindly use "on the MOVE."

How come they just don't see how foolish and fly-by-night this makes them look (even after Hahn made hay with it in the last debate).

Good campaign people are realistic enough about their own candidate's Achilles' heels not to keep pulling his socks down and putting a spotlight on them. GOOD ones are. . .

MEAT you loser here's the info on neighborhood watches from LAPD.
Neighborhood Watch Program

Neighborhood Watch is the cornerstone of the LAPD’s crime prevention strategy. It enlists the active participation of residents, in cooperation with law enforcement, to reduce crime in communities throughout the city.

The Neighborhood Watch program was pioneered by the Los Angeles Police Department to educate community residents regarding their roles and responsibilities in the prevention of crime, and to encourage them to take active measures to prevent crime. The program calls upon residents to step forward and assist the police in organizing the community into a cohesive unit working toward the goal of building a safer, crime-free neighborhood. Neighborhood Watch groups discuss neighborhood crime problems with the objective of developing solutions to local problems. Los Angeles Police Officers supply crime information to neighborhood watch organizations and instruct these groups in various crime prevention techniques
Getting Organized
Contacts the police department or local crime prevention organization for help in training members in home security and reporting skills and for information on local crime patterns
Selects a coordinator and block captains who are responsible for organizing meetings and relaying information to members
Recruits members, keeps up-to-date on new residents and makes special efforts to involve the elderly, working parents, and young people
Works with local government and law enforcement to put up Neighborhood Watch signs, usually after at least 50 percent of all households in a neighborhood are enrolled

Funny I haven't seen ONE Neighborhood Watch sign although AV says he created 80. Interesting LAPD officers don't know where there at even though they are the ones that should be informed of them.

Ouch, now it's down to 78 (invisible) watches. CD14 field staff forgot to tell Antonio they were counting the Pope as one of them. You see, even though he didn't live in the district, Catholics (even conveniently timely, recently reformed ones) believe God "watches over all of us," and the Pope IS (or, was) God's emmisary on earth.

Boy the number's falling fast (like WAL-MART)... by May 17 it will probably be down in the single digits, and all that will be left will be the 2 or 3 REAL new NEIGHBORHOOD WATCHES (his field staff sat in on meetings for with LAPD officers who REALLY started them).

Anybody see a connection here? A piece of land in Northeast Los Angeles about to be purchased by the LAUSD for a high school is suddenly bought by a developer. The site is on the border of Davide Tokofsky's district and Villaraigosa's favorite, Jose Huizar's district. For two years the LAUSD were working this site and just before making their bid along comes developer Richard Muerello and buys the 23 acre site.

And, now, the same Richard Muerello has announced he is contributing over $63,000 to an IE supporting Antonio Villaraigosa's bid for mayor.

You guys can blog away all night and day, but nothing you say or do can change the spots on the leopard. Jim Hahn is an absentee Mayor who shows up from time to time to cut a ribbon, have lunch and go home.

Every four years for the last twenty-four, he has come out of his shell and campaigned for a couple of months, then gone back to hibernation and rested while his minions, unsupervised, looted the city and ran rampant.

Now, with about five weeks to go in the campaign of his life, he is showing some signs of conciousness.

But don't be deceived, look at the polls, look at his listless fundraising, look at his lack of meaningful endorsements, look at all the folks he has had to fire after they were caught manipulating contract awards or over billing, and look at him. Closely. The people of this City have, and he is found wanting.
