Open Thread for Thursday

50 years ago today in Montgomery, Alabama, seamstress Rosa Parks refused to give her bus seat to a white man and was arrested for violating the city's racial segregation laws, an incident which led to the Montgomery Bus Boycott.

Is it just MOIS, or does Rosa Parks look white?

The L.A. Times also mentions one of Mayor Franks scoops. the Arceo report card piece. Crystal really showed some class by offering to work with Huizar, while Huizar was made out to be the punk that he is by refusing Crystal's olive branch. Can you say rematch in 18 months?

Steve Hymon also mentions the most recent Parra DOH!:
"In late October, Alvin Parra said he was involved in distributing copies of unflattering newspaper stories about Nick Pacheco to Eastside residents.

Pacheco was running against Huizar, who was supported by Villaraigosa. The stories were from 2001 through 2003, and involved allegations of the misuse of city funds.

The handouts, which were distributed by volunteers, neglected to mention that Pacheco was never found to have done anything wrong.

Nine days after Huizar trounced Pacheco in the council race, Parra's wife, Nellie Rios-Parra, a Lennox School District official, was appointed by Villaraigosa to the city Library Commission."

That's East L.A. politics that Antonio has brought to the Mayors office - the politics of retribution, spite and payoffs. Who needs the "Shield" on FX when this drama unfolds right before our eyes. Hey Antonio, isn't Nellie Rios-Parra an adamant opponent of bilingual education? Can we expect foreign language censorship at our libraries?

Why "let up"? The 80 FAKE NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH ORGANIZATIONS are still MIA (like AV was for 2 years), and CD14 is SOL.

Every day adds new lies to the AV column, which means what, ladies and germs?

That the 80 FAKE NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH ORGANIZATIONS lie will soon become a GOLDEN OLDIE and be requested at his public appearances like old Neil Diamond tunes at his live concerts.

AV-lovers will soon stand in the aisles at matinee mayoral photo-ops waving their snuffed-out, mostly melted candles in the air, chanting, "tell us the one about the 80 FAKE NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH ORGANIZATIONS again, Antonio... that STILL our FAVORITE big lie."

Cuz' OLDIES ROCK!

If Parra is "Homer Simson", then is Huizar, Bart?

Steve Hymon got the "filth distributor Parra's wife named on commission" story here, I posted it off the city agendas/referrals within seconds of its distribution a week or more ago, and made the linkages.
