Mayor Sam I was clapping going down the list but then when I got to the bottom and saw Zuma, helllll nnoooooo. No way, Zuma has become an insecure man who constantly needs approval and a dose of Dr. Phil. He needs therapy and stop posting on this blog. He's going to ruin this blog like he has public comment. Citizen of Year should go to Jim Alger, Brady, Jason.
I've grown tired of Jim Alger's schtick. He's a shameless self promoter. He's tried to ride every issue he can find to elected office. Zuma Dogg on the other is a goofball but has used very clever techniques to shed sunshine on a variety of issues. Sure he begs for money but he's not looking for a government job.
Brady is a nutcase and a half. Jason is a good guy but I don't think he has the same level of citywide impact and name recognition of Zuma.
Has LA City Nerd ever heard of Martini Republic?
In a tangentially related inquiry, I wonder who the Nerd credits for the defeat of Prop H, which only saved homeowners in the City of LA a cool billion dollars? Plainly the biggest fiscal impact of the year...
Joe, I have heard of the Martini Republic, but these nominees came in from the people. I had called for nominations, and even the Dead Mayor sent in a set. There are dozens of blogs that could have been nominated, but in this first award year, we've not been able to include everyone. Know that there will be other opportunities for recognition, and some have even started a write-in campaign.
As for Prop H - I credit the voters. But, again, no one nominated that defeat as a project for the award.

That's really good for The Voters, because they started off approving it at 68%, and it was whittled down six points to not-pass territory by election day. So The Voters suddenly whittled themselves down, all by their lonesomes?
That must be why Parke didn't issue an election night congratulatory call to the other side. He would have had to call all The Voters!
Hey, I just got back from France. It's an honor to be nominated. If I win, do I get a car or something?
zumadogg is a goofball, but 7:31 post recomended Dr.Phil as therapy- to you, I say get a life.
Agree or not, he has an intelligent grasp of many city issues, and the balls to go face to face - on the issues.
What do you want, Ronald Regan?
If you dont like francis dogg, dont read him, I solved your problem 7:31. Simple.
Dr. Phil the TV doctor.

Walter on your trip back from France, did you happen to run into A.V. who was attending the Nancy Pelosi inaug. whoops, I mean, meeting with the Attorney General Gonzalez to talk, talk, talk, about more $ to fight gangs.
It was a coinsidence -- really.
Antonio could have used the telephone and spoken to the A.G., or could have gone mano a mano, via videoconference. How many staff did he take with him?
