Sam's Briefs

In the blogosphere today:

Boi from Troy brings up a good point about Mayor Villaraigosa's ban on road construction. Since the ban only applies to city crews, will clueless commuters blame him for work done by state crews, utility companies, etc.? Boi has photos of just such a road closure today.

Kevin Roderick is still chasing crocodile like creatures in Harbor City.

Here in Van Nuys discusses historic and vintage buildings on the chopping block.

Flap, the Blogging Dentist continues his press on David Duke's favorite leftist military mom Cindy Sheehan and a group of right wing military moms who plan to go on the offensive.

Governor Johnson, the blog that could have been the Mayor Sam of California politics continues to flounder with only three posts in the last month. Why is it that only the Sister City has been able to succeed at this type of blog? Remember "Fourth Floor Carnivore" or "Blog City Hall?" Yea.

Martini Republic, not Mailander this time but his associate "Mitten" reports on a fun new wine at Trader Joe's, featuring "pink jazzy monkeys" on the label.

You mean Bob Hertzberg's proposed ban on street construction, right?

Didn't ADV pooh-pooh that idea before the primary???

Governor Johnson and his contributors are all Republican Governors, yet the site is just as shrill and partisan Democrat as the Bob Mulholland blog!

For your consideration, I would like to pass the motion of calling Alex Padilla on this blog site, "Mr. Lloron" on all blogging purposes...

All those in favor say...

That is funny. Lloron has begun to help eliminate the West Nile Virus-with his tears.

"...It's all part of a de facto revolving-door arrangement between government and some private businesses. It works for Democrats, too. The chief transition aide for new Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, for instance, served as a deputy mayor under former Mayor Richard Riordan. In between, while James Hahn was mayor for four years, she worked for developer and big political donor Eli Broad, whose initial is the B in the KB Homes firm.

Ideally, none of this should be possible. It leads to an old-boy, old-girl network that sees to it certain big commercial and labor interests always get their way.

I read this on another thread. What is it that he is speaking of, what heritage?

"I am proud of who I am, but I don't wear it on my sleeve"
-- Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa on his Latino heritage.

He changed his name from Tony Villar - that's with the english pronunciation - vi lar - to Antonio Villaraigosa, but he doesn't wear his heritage on his sleeve? He's either a liar or a hypocrite or both. He's nothing more than a coconut - you know, brown on the outside, white on the inside. Poor Tony, a man without a race. I guess for the right price he'll be what you want him to be.

For those English only bloggers Sorry I have to say this in Espanol , but I have to tell my paisano Alex Padilla this:

"No seas tan way lloron, ponte los pantalones y dirige con lluevos."

A nosotros no nos gusta los llorones.

Why was Antonio at Rocky's press conf. on the gang injunction against Big Hazard? Antonio supports gang bangers and the entire city knows it. He's former ACLU rep who defended the valley gang bangers against families who wanted to be in the park. This is why the rank and file can't stand him. Talk about hypocritical and two faced.

AV needs to be accountacle for all road constructionn is his City.

I do not want to hear any crying that I can't stop the County or state from doing this, etc., etc.

Yes you can!!! You are Antonio Ramon Villaraigosa who did the impossible and became Mayor.

You are responsible for everything that happens in the entire City.

You cannot just take credit for the positives without taking responsibility for the negatives.

"Nomore Road Contruction During Rush Hour", period end of story!!!
