Oh yeah, My sister is going to run against Villaraigosa in 2009. Or better yet run for Supervisor Burke's seat when she retires.

You just watch.

-The Mayor's "Cien Dias" is disappointing, nothing to brag about. I expected what he promised and so far shortcomings are all we get. Filling potholes is a sham. Good Luck mayor with 405 fund raising...what will you give the senators for those funds, a trip to Sweden, France, Hawaii?

-Hahns? The Hahns are just Hahns. Nothing happening in that are worth mentioning either.

-Gruel is Villaraigosa's puppy. Come on, jump, fetch, do this, get this, pass this, for me, I'm your master!

-Westside is in a bad situation with new development and traffic. The citizens must decide for themselves, if this is the way to go. What sacrifices will be made for new development.

Bayou Gator Catcher-passe.

"Daily News....On police hiring, Villaraigosa said he has begun preparing his budget and looking for funds for the additional 1,000 officers he promised during his election campaign."

What's there to prepare Antonio? You've said it yourself when you beat me in a landslide that the City had a Budget surplus, why the change?

Dang, I love not working. I can sit around in my underwear and mess around on the net and still make $96,000 a year
