The Straight Guy?
Something has come across my desk that is really interesting. It actually created more questions than solves and has me scratching my head asking "what the hell was he thinking?"
It involves our Governor.
As our Governor of this great state many folks far and wide want to honor him and give him gifts. Sometimes the Governor has had to return those gifts because they either exceed the gift price limit or because its just bad taste.
Some of the gifts the Governor has received include:
Pair of California Bear Cufflinks - from Kukor Kocek
A Coffee Table Book - from Rob Lowe
Wood Humidor - from Daniel Marshall
Porcelain Eagle decanter with vodka - from the Olympic Lifting Team
3 t-shirts, 1 hat & 4 beer holders - from Dwayne Machinski
Personalized Laker Jersey - from Tim Leiweke
Desk pad with Silver picture holder - from Kin Abdullah of Jordan
Great gifts right?
Yes and no -- those gifts sound great and all but i'd like to investigate one of the items a little more closely.
The 3 shirts, hat and beer holders for a second.
Dwayne Machinski is the owner and operator of a website called str8guy.com - again nothing wrong with that, yet.
But what he gave the Governor should be concerning to most non-hating Californians.
Here is what the Governor accepted.
Just in case you can't read this - it says "We Suck Suds Not Puds"
Go here for all the straight guy goodness.
Hate language like this doesn't belong on our Governor's beer or his back.
Give it back Governor -- the $73.00 these gifts are worth aren't worth the possible backlash.
I wonder what boi from troy thinks.

wow chief,
another scoop by you.
from a scared fan of chief parker
Nothing wrong with that. Have you been outside your room today? Everyone wears t-shirts offensive/non-offensive it is our choice, not yours to make chief.
Parker, how about the gift that keeps on (not) giving? Your long promised, oft-lied about "80 neighborhood watches in CD14 that AV started" list.
What are you, a "native American" giver, Faker???
(Couldn't change that last thread long enough could you!).
Wow, Parker is going to launch an investigation of a produce market in Cd14.
What's with you Parker, and this post, are you PRO-fruit, or ANTI-fruit.
Make up your tiny mind.
I have the list of neighborhood watch programs for cd 14 and will be posting in 10 minutes, asshole! I called Northeast LAPD and they were happy to oblige. I just couldn't stand all the postings from some idiot who keeps inquiring, so I went on a mission and tracked down the 80+ neighborhood watch programs (83 to be exact), along with the Senior Lead Officer for each.
AND ALL the many "new" visitors will know you're a LYING scum, Parker.
WHERE'S YOUR PROOF OF 80 NEW WATCHES UNDER AV, Chief Faker -- now even more and more people will know your posts are all as bogus as that silly claim. AND, that the people you support for public office are also clueless and dishonest. Birds of a feather.
Bingo!
Thanks!
I'll check back when you post again!
Can't wait 3:29 p.m. Hurry... not that it's ever gonna happen, but if you did invent some list, then YOU would HELP prove what a lying scumbag Parker is (HE SAID THEY WERE A SECRET!)
BTW, retard at 3:29 p.m. Bring a MAP.
Only about ONE-THIRD of CD 14 is in NORTHEAST division. Most is in HOLLENBECK.
Most of NORTHEAST is in REYES and Garcetti's districts... hurry, hurry, hurry.
Maybe Eddie Reyes gets credit for the new watches! And he's out-of-town, to boot.
DAMN, AV and his groupies can WIN to save themselves.
There are 7 SLOs in Hollenbeck. I know them all, and every one wishes he had 3 neighboorhood watches, total.
TIME'S UP 3:29 p.m.
Been 15 minutes, still no LIST of 83 new neighborhood watches. Can't count time or watch organization, and can't read a map.
MUST be a Huizar-supporting LAUSD grad.
Tell Arnold to give the $2 billion back to education while you are it. He's one of the main reasons why bureucrats have such low expectations for our children in the educational system.
I didn't realize Pacheco supporters knew how to tell time. Now, only if they could get a job and quit posting every other minute.
(I think 3:29 meant he was going to spam te blog with 83 ads).
3:48
Pacheco supporters do have jobs. They work for Nick for pete's sake. Not for long, since he has no chance to win.
Huh?
3:29 for president or for CD 14 rep!
Fully employed, Chief Faker, but thanks. . . that won't help take the heat off.
But keeping your PROMISE (don't ask Antonio what that means), to unveil your April/May "research" might.
20 minutes, plus...
Huh? What's not to understand?
Pacheco supporters (aka Huizy/MAV bashers) on this blog are most likely Pacheco plants. It's not that hard to decipher. Their postings show an affinity for Nick's previous accomplishments, some of which have fallen on deaf ears only to be resurrected by Pacheco folks to elucidate how much Nick means to CD 14.
OH, that's right, 80-watches-dude.
He has to "decode" the list first since Antonio's watches, anyway, and TOP SECRET!
I saw that heading and those this thread was ABOUT Chief Parker, playing it "straight" and acting like he actually BELIEVES any of Manure AV's lies.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but Antonio Villaraigosa is mayor of LA, right? And, Nick Pacheco is a lawyer who practices at Citrus Courts, correct? Citrus courts don't count, buddy! Nick has no chance to win in the upcoming CD 14 race.
Okay, okay, break it up -- everyone go home. There's no "80 neighborhood watches" to see here, just another false alarm, another Villaraigosa publiicity stunt.
Um, check your watch and calendar 3:55 p.m.
Antonio ain't running for CD14 councilmember this time. Some unknown part time pol is.
Antonio ain't running for council, just like he NEVER ran the district.
Bamm!
30 minutes...
Zip up your fly, 3:29, Parker's tongue is hanging out.
That other poster was right. Robert U. isn't this clever or "free" to nail people like Parker.
THE POST IS ABOUT THE GOVERNOR. Repeat after me: I am a retarded son of bitch.
Hey, great blog here!
I have a online list of 80 Neighborhood Watches started under the accomplishment-deficient councilmanic term of Antonio Villaraigosa.
Its free and sponsored by the "I stole my last two years of salary" fund. Come check it out.
Good point, 4:05 p.m.
Here's the question. Would Gov. Arnold ever lie about starting 80 neighborhood watches just to make it look like he was really doing his job, and not jerking off the help other candidate?
Hi Chief,
As for myself, I'm not greedy. I wish you continued success with this site, regardless of the type of posts some may wish to place here.
Some pretty angry people you have here today.
I really like your blog. Good job!
My name is Jose. Come see my list of things I've done to improve LAUSD as the president of its board for the past two years.
If you like, and you're a building contractor, you can also contribute to my next three political campaigns.
Ah, and I was just starting to believe that Parker WAS the 80-wacthes guy, but Parker's not this entertaining, either.
Hose Juizar
"Candidate 'UNDER CONSTRUCTION'"
Wait, there's no real link for the AV and Huizar blue spam spots above.
OH, wait, I get it.... AV's accomplishments in CD14 and Huizar's improvements to LAUSD are the same. Nothing to list or link to.
(Never mind).
SURE, I shadow you all day, Parker.
(What day is that?)
SHADOW-day.*
You still tailing Pacheco around Eagle Rock to see if he spits on the sidewalk somewhere? BIG SCOOP there.
Scoop up the spit, while you're at it.
(*Chico Marx, "Duck Soup" 1939)
Por favor, calm down people. You all wonder on the 80 neighborhood watch dilemma. Call the person in charge of this mess.
Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa can inform us with PROOF of the 80+ Neighborhood Watch groups he publicly stated during his campaign as one of his accomplishments. Join me in emailing and calling and get to the bottom of this mess.

4:31, you mean like Chief Faker's "connections" (ha!)
No real links there, either.
OH yeah, that'll work, 4:33 p.m.
Two years in CD14 when he only had 250,000 constituents, Villaraigosa never personally returned a constituent's phone call or e-mail (and most of the time neither did his staff), never met with a neighborhood council, never attended a planning meeting for any of the major projects left behind by his predecessor (unless there was TV camera there, too -- or a big mayoral campaign check), missed most committee meetings and MANY, many council sessions.
NOW, as mayor, with 4 million constituents, he's going to answer e-mails and questions from CD14 about what he didn't really do before.
Excellent point, poster.
I have a blog, too. I've done a lot of work on it to show my excellent political connections in Los Angeles.
Come by and visit sometime soon, and tell them Cheap Faker sent you.
(Okay, I lied about the link, too).
Hahn, Pacheco??
THIS IS THE ANTI-CHIEF PARKER BLOGGING SQUAD.
Calling all hands, nail the lying bastard until he releases the list.
(Damn, this is like the Watergate tapes).
Where's John Dean when you need him?
Another nail in Huizar's coffin-- Parker's support.
That's right 4:54, only in this case, Parker is Villaraigosa's "Deep Throat" -- if you KNOW what I mean (wink wink).

Hey, posts are disappearing, Parker can't take the heat!
Once an amateur, always and amateur... MEAT had thicker skin and took more abuses.
What the "F" does gifts to Arnold have to do with "home of Los Angeles Politics"
If this helps anyone I will painfully cut and paste what I received from a rotunda friend.
For those that are researching, you may find it fabrication on the part of Villaraigosa's office, or find it to be true...I'll leave it up to you. I'm off on another search. Keep in mind these are claims from Villaraigosa and his staff, so I have no idea if the report was an honest one to the public or if they lied to the public. They did not list 64 watches or 80+, just the 5 places mentioned below as information.
In a Villaraigosa & Staff report it was published as follows,
"T64 New Neighborhood WatchAssociationsOver the past 12 months, we organized andassisted 64 new Neighborhood Watchassociations throughout the 14thCouncil District. Our office works with new and existing Neighborhood Watch associations on a wide range of issues from clearing bulky items that degrade a neighborhood to requesting enforcement against nuisance bars, gangs and drug sales and providing information on City services. Some of the neighbors we helped in our first year have been living in fear for the past decade or longer. Some of the notable highlights from our first year include:
Cazador Street
Alumni Avenue Neighborhood Watch
Jovenes Neighborhood Watch
Eagle Rock Lutheran Church
El Sereno Business Watch
Crenshaw HIgh School loses accreditation, Yes ,oh yes , Mr President of the School Board Huizar. NOw what are the kids going to do?
Mayor Sam left Parker "Home Alone" and he's gone power mad.
There goes the blog.
5:03 I understand you are angry, but please stop reposting the same thing...
Cyberlady, if you have "no idea" whether AV's staff is lying or not, you're not from the district, and you haven't been paying attention.
It's like the old joke -- if they're issuing reports THEY'RE LYING!
AV's staff organized the 'Eagle Rock Lutheran Church?"
The hell you say? Whatever happened to separation of church and state (and here I thought AV was a communion-less catholic?)
Next they're going to be telling us the ORGANIZED 80 NEW PROTESTANT CHURCHES in CD14. But, they can't tell us where, because they have to remain "secret."
Cyberlady, repeating the lie for AV's staff doesn't constitute any kind of proof.
Sorry, that's bogus.
AV told the L.A. weekly he did that in ONE year. The year he spent most of the 12 months out of state working for the presidential campaign.
MAYBE the neighborhood watches were in D.C.
NO WONDER WE CAN'T FIND THEM! (or Florida?)
Poster,
I'm giving them them an opportunity to save their asses right now.
I'm not blind to the fact that no one can produce proof of the 80+ neighborhood watch groups. I'm disgusted of the fact that it was used in the campaign. By saying to you, "so I have no idea if the report was an honest one to the public" was to challenge this report. It stated that they accomplished 64 new neighborhood watches in the last 12 months" and I want to see the proof too. Chief Parker has his views and his own reasons to persistently support villaraigosa statement of 80+ Neighborhood watches. I on the other hand find it absolutely disgusting if a cover up is being made as we speak for the sake of not damaging a Huizar campaign. All of this at who's expense--The People.
There is no doubt that accountability will hurt Villaraigosa in the long run when this gets out of the 80 neighborhood watches, I feel it is the tip a a crumbling ice berg. I am not anti-av, but I am for accountability as I have mentioned before. No one is above the law. The post was to show some of you that have not seen it, the printed information that was said of the neighborhood watch accomplishments by the Villaraigosa and staff. Now, as you have read my posts you should understand by now where I stand on this issue as of this new information.
Cyberlady, you must not have been here, during the mayoral race. Take a minute and look through Parker's posts the last few weeks before the May election on Mayor Sam's.
He didn't just have "views and his own reasons to persistently support villaraigosa," he said repeatedly that HE had his own proof, independently obtained, outside of the campaign and CD staff. Through his own leg work,he knew that there were more than 100 neighborhood watches in CD14, based on his own count -- and that was proof that Villaraigosa told the truth and earned his paycheck of $150,000 a year. Especially since the only achievements the campaign listed for while AV was on council were "80 watches and (some small number of) community cleanups."
Those cleanups, by the way, are actually organized by Clean Sweep/Board of Public Works, after they get a single phone council from the CD staff. They also didn't start until after AV announced for mayor, and each one was used as a campaign tool to raise his visibility.
To have 100+ "neighborhood watch organizations" in CD14 (a district with less than 15 distinct "neighborhoods" LAPD senior officers would have to be meeting with two groups every night of the week, every day of the month, just to have monthly meetings.
There would have to be one group for every 2,000 people in the district (the average CD14 community has 20-25 thousand residents.
There would have to be hundreds of (new) block and precint captains and thousands of (new) participants.
The police would never have time to answer a distress call. They would always be going from one meeting to another.
Chief,
Maybe you should send Arnold a shirt from this site...will he wear it...has a better chance than the str8guy.com shirts.
Don't take it personal, I have different views from you on the 80 NW Group topic...it does get repetitive, but democracy is lovely, don't you think?
And PARKER knows about egg on the face, and in his ears, and on his shirt, and down his shorts, and up his nose, and running down his shoes, and...
5:33 PM
For the sake of being time consuming I was hoping not to get involved too much on the 80 NW group topic...but if the previous poster posts confirms, it should be no problem for you to post your findings.
End it today, post the findings chief.
To the Chief,

So, Antonio used the city's Dept. of Public Works as a prop to campaign for Mayor while holding clean-ups after he announced his run, but never before.
Maybe Huizar should hold some cleanups at LAUSD schools, since he's "Villaraigosa-lite."
(I can't even believe I'm saying that -- how could anyone be more lightweight than Antonio?)
There are about 8 Senior Lead Officers in Hollenbeck and Northeast that work the areas in CD14, and if they have to meet with every neighborhood watch each month - 80+ new watches, plus they usually take patrol officers with them to the meetings... (carry the 5, divide by...)
Nope, doesn't compute! No wonder the AV watches had to stay secret. Since he voted NOT to add a half-cent tax for new cops, no way these could be staffed.
Cyberlady thanks for seeing our side. I found this for you.
Sparks fly at debate for L.A.'s top job
Mayor Hahn and Councilman Villaraigosa clash over such issues as ethics and public safety.
By David Zahniser
I think it's time to take responsibility for your actions and admit that you made a mistake when you put your chief fund-raiser in charge of the chicken coop," Villaraigosa said.
"He no longer works for me," Hahn responded. "So I did take responsibility for that."
Villaraigosa quickly came back: "Did he resign or did you fire him?"
"He left," Hahn answered.
"There you go again, Jimmy," Villaraigosa said, "failing to take responsibility for your actions."
Villaraigosa later talked up his own track record at City Hall, saying he had created 80 neighborhood watch groups, organized more than 6,000 volunteers and brought people together to take back their neighborhoods.
That brought a sharp retort from Hahn, who accused the councilman of accomplishing little since his election in 2003.
You guys got the whole thing wrong -- it was a typo that got carried away.
It was "80 Neighborhood Witches" - not "watches."
And after trying to get some basic constituent service out his Eagle Rock office, I can guarantee Antonio hired a couple of them for field staff (and just promoted one to interim care-Faker).
Care-faker.
Now THAT's funny, but sadly, true!
"Villaraigosa's ambition alienates some"
By Rick Orlov
Staff Writer
"...As councilman, Villaraigosa's office recently put out a 30-page booklet of his accomplishments in his first 18 months in office, which included such routine items as staffing field offices, publishing a community directory and responding to constituent complaints.
But he also points to boosting community involvement, claiming to have created 80 Neighborhood Watch programs and launching a "Day of Community Service" program, which helped put more than 6,000 people in community cleanup activities.
The most persistent criticism of Villaraigosa - from those who support him and those who oppose him - is his ambition.
"You always have the sense that he is looking over your shoulder when he's talking to you to see who else is coming in the room," said one longtime ally, who refused to be identified. "Antonio is always reaching for the brass ring. Sometimes, I would like to tell him he doesn't have to do that. That it will come if he works hard..."
Parke Skelton-didn't someone say some time ago you put bait, analyze,and produce responses for your candidate
Parke Skelton-didn't someone say some time ago you put bait, analyze,and produce responses for your candidate
Does Chief Parker have 9 lives, like a cat -- because he's burned 5 or 6 of them just over this unbelievable lie about collecting proof about the neighborhood watches.
If Porkie Skelton did something like that, he wouldn't t-t-t-tell us about it.
Thhhhhhats' all fffffolks!
Ambition, at the cost of actual results?
Not that ambitious it it -- really!
That's not ambition, that ADD! That's a psychological disorder.
Chief,
You are absolutely fabulous! What is going?
Sorry, poster, Chief Faker is stuck between Iraq and two hard-ons -- for AV, and now Huizar. He can't produce his "research" because he never did any. He can't admit he lied, because then any flak he throws at Pacheco and other pols he hates is suspect. He can't pass the buck to Antonio and his flacks, because that's about the only source of any political insight be has (wow, how sad is that), and so -- the farce continues.
Yeah, yeah... Hear that before. "When I get my facts collected, you'll all look so bad" says Chief Parker... April and May, 2005.
Then, NOTHING. . . .
Villaraigosa’s council record isn’t exactly outstanding – his claims to fame are creating 80 neighborhood watch groups in his district and getting the two sides in 2003’s transit strike to sit down and make a deal – but he continues to rub many of the right people the right way. His lone vote against Playa Vista Phase 2, a massive 2,600-unit housing and commercial development near the environmental battlefield of the Ballona Wetlands, has made him the political hero for many in the Westside. “Villaraigosa has support here because of that one vote,” says Westside resident Jim Ciment.
Yup, that's right. Come next posting day, Parker starts up a new, trivial thread about nothing of any consequence to the city, and says, "what neighborhood watches?"
Huh?
The transit strike that ended his first QUARTER in office, and the Goldline that got up and running BEFORE he was CM.
That's what the Meaty boys always said made it worthwhile to have AV on council from 2003-2005 (24 months pay, for 3 weeks work).
Not TOO shabby.
Honestly. Really honestly. Who the fuck cares about a goddamn campaign promise about neighborhood watches in one of the shitiest, poorest, parts of town? I sure as hell don't.
Visit the people in the Valley, do the care? The Westside? Mid-Wilshire? Silver Lake? Nobody cares. SO WHAT if the mayor used his council seat to run for further office.
The 14th is a historically underserved and discriminated against district. Is this really such a shock?
Fuck CD14. Half your damn constituents can't read english, and the other half are illegal immigrants. Why should an elected official feel the need to serve people that are politically invisible? Their fucking "oath of office"?! Give me a break. The day our democracy depends on scruples, is the day hell freezes over.
"Accountablility, accountability, blah, blah, blah.", get over yourselves. Get elected, and see what happens to your sense of morality. To lead, you must court hypocrisy - read some Machiavelli you swine.
If there is a story for the press, they will pick it up in due time, you retards. Quit pissing in everyone's well by ruining this blog.
I must be illegal, I can read that post 6:15 p.m.
How am I supposed to read Machiavelli if I'm illiterate? Is it available as books-on-tape, or maybe a 3 stooges movie?
I hear your pain, 6:15 p.m.
Half the district is illiterate, and Jose Huizar is the school board guy for. . . HALF THE DISTRICT.
Half the district is illegal, and Antonio Villaraigosa served as half-assed, half-baked, half-cocked (so I hear), out-of-the city half-the-time, HALF TERM as its councilmember.
I think that about wraps up the play-by play!
this is all a lie
6:15 Stop pissing on my parade, retard. Like if the Valley is in any better shape with MS13 right at your doorstep.
Oh Yea, hypocrisy and WHITE collar crime is allowable, as long as your elected in office. Your a dumb ass to the retard degree.
I'm of Irish descent, but live in CD14 and based on 6:15 I'm also illegal.
Wow! great! Didn't know this 6:15. Do I qualify for any free services?
Is Marco Firebaugh dropping out from the Senate race due to health reasons?
6:23 PM
You made my day. Absolutely hilarious.
Who the hell cares about marco firebaugh,unless the neighborhood watch nazis do!
i heard firebaugh has some virus.
6:01 anon
correction.
Psychiatric disorder
I also heard Firebaugh dumped his llong term girlfriend and has shacked up with Maribel Medina, the hottie at LAUSD making over $200,000 grand as a lawyer...not bad
6:15 Anon,
Thanks. I also don't give a shit about what these same people keep parroting. Who cares! The only ones who do are the same 1 or 2 who keep disrupting a thread.
Hey neighborhood watch obsessive/compulsive person - SHUT THE FUCK UP! If you have a problem either open your own goddam blog or go talk to Villaraigosa your own goddam self! The rest of us don't FUCKING CARE. Jesus...did you lose your prescription?
it is about credibility bottom line. Chief Parker lacks it.
call Villaraigosa get details neighborhood watch
This blog post is about Arnold being stupid. Once again it as been turned an anti Antonio diatribe. What's new?
he wanted to be Mayor!
good night
