MILF!
i think this chick is HOT! I don't much care for Reps but i will make the acception this one time
el santo and laborthug back at it on a tag team............gotta love you guys.
She IS Da Man!!!
Why is there no comment by anyone here about the LAPD consent decreee being extended for 3 more years? In his first year Bratton repeateldy said publicly that his goal was to have the consent decree gone by the end of year two.
He failed completely, yet like Villaraigosa he seems to be a teflon politician.
why didnt' the media print that consent decree with tax payers spending over $10 million dollars was because of Parks. Because he closed his eyes to corruption we now have to pay the price.
In another news, Cruz Bust-A-Gut-Mante rode his bike to work today.
What happened to all the city Gossip. This blog is boring!!
WHAT'S WITH THE BS POP UP AD???? SUDDENLY LOOKS LIKE MAYOR SAM DECIDED TO MAKE THIS A COMMERCIAL VENTURE. I WILL NOT COME BACK HERE FOR LONG IF THIS PAIN IN THE ASS AD KEEPS POPPING UP. AND I SURE AS HELL WONT BUY THE PRODUCT!
she is as dumb as a stump. i mean D-U-M-B.
“Unfortunately, before I entered the race Mayor Villaraigosa had made a commitment to Speaker Fabian Nuñez to support Fabian’s friend from high school,” said the statement.
Popp did not go so quietly, saying she attended an endorsement interview at City Hall, where the mayor told her that she was the most qualified but that he felt a loyalty to Nuñez. A similar message was delivered weeks later by Maria Elena Durazo, the interim head of the County Federation of Labor, Popp said.
“What you should do is look at our qualifications,” she said. “And if, at the end of the analysis, you think that I am more qualified, and yet Kevin got the endorsement of his childhood friend and other folks associated with his childhood friend, then what is that, if not a boys’ network?”
Asked whether he had placed friendship over qualifications, Villaraigosa provided a two-word answer: “Absolutely not.”
Nuñez gave a lengthier, yet similar, response: “I certainly respect every other candidate in the race. The 45th always produces good candidates,” he said. “But Kevin, in my view, is the best qualified.”
She is not a MILF. That's just a good picture of her.
L.A. City Mayor Villaraigosa Fails to Raise Matching Funds to Save 350 Poor Families in South Central Los Angeles From Brentwood Developer
For the last three years, 350 families have been fighting to preserve the largest contiguous piece of open green space in South Central Los Angeles. On April 22nd 2006, Trust for Public had negotiated a 30 day buy option that depended on the city matching 5 Million put up by a private foundation. It appears that the City of LA and the Mayor's office will not match the money and the land will fall to Brentwood Developer.
WHEN: Friday, May 19th, 2006 @ 9:00 a.m.
WHO: South Central Farmers
WHAT: Protest and Press Conference
In the week of May 15 2006, the community was informed that, "Mayor Villaraigosa and his office would not be able to raise the matching 5 Million that he had promised to the community," stated Tezozomoc, elected representative of the South Central Farmers. "The community is in shock. Everyone thought that it was a done deal and now families face a bleak future with the possible destruction of the community farm," stated Albert Tlatoa, farmer. According to the Los Angeles Superior Court Brentwood real estate developer has already acquired the legal right to deploy the Los Angeles Sheriffs department to remove 350 families from the largest urban farm in the U.S. This could happen as soon as May 24th, 2006.
There will be only 3 days to Save the Farm!
WHERE: Location Changed! We will now be demonstrating at the intersection of S. Figueroa St. and W. Pico Blvd. in Los Angeles
WHY: This is a unique opportunity to eliminate park poverty in this highly urbanized, blighted and semi-industrial neighborhood. This site is a singular opportunity to make permanent and public the community and cultural benefits of the green oasis created by 360 families over the years as they continue to grow healthy fruits, vegetables and medicinal plants to supplement their food budgets. This urban garden, once purchased, will remain open space for generations to come.

Known as the largest urban farm in the country, South Central Farm provides food and sustenance to some of the most underserved residents in Los Angeles.

Audra Strickland a poster child for corruption. Hiring each other with campaign funds. Lets not forget taking 26,600 from State Republicans to give to her husbands group. The California Club for Growth. Only that money was then used by DMH printing in Irvine to send attack mailers against Nicole Parra in the Central Valley (all a violation of proposition 34's rules on independent expenditures). One day the FPPC and good ole boy D.A. Totten might actually slam the two shysters over it...
