Rental Monkeys Need Feng Shui, And More Welfare For Millionaires
Remember the rental monkeys I mentioned as an example of waste during my campaign? Former Mayor Hahn spent $1 million to RENT three monkeys from China, and promised to build a $2.3 million monkey pen.
Well, the boondoggle has gotten even worse. The monkey pen now costs $7.4 million, including $4500 to ensure that our feces-tossing friends have appropriate feng shui.
Meanwhile, City Hall proudly announced that it has "leveraged" $100 million of your money, plus some of your land -- value unspecified -- by giving it to developers to construct a giant, beehive-like project at Hollywood and Vine. To ensure there's ample green space, the plans apparently call for four or five palm trees.

Hey, there is definitely material here for a good cartoon Walter. Something like clowncil chambers as a monkey pen... The imagination wanders
That's a great idea! Perhaps a monkey is telling a workman to move the giant plasma TV monitor a little to the left...
Anyone know if they've completed the new elephant exhibit at the LA Zoo?
"...Rice's report was right about one thing: It's almost impossible to make sense of the city's scattershot approach to the gang problem. The city disburses $82 million to 23 agencies, according to the report, but their work is disjointed, with little communication among them and almost no way to measure their success."
A city hall insider said clowncil is terrified to AUDIt these gang programs because the corruption will be out. Why doesn't a reporter file a public info document to find out the truth?????
12:03 - the reporters have been paid to look the other way.
further to the global language argument:
have you checked with Boeing to see if they make those Japanese instructions?
hell no.
because pilots of all nationalities fly for all different countries. fact.
and when was the last time you flew on an Ipod to Tokyo?
people like you can run an Ipod, but are flat out getting the tray table down.
call Boeing. its a great question.
how many languages do the instructions for a 767 come out in?
I want to see you follow it up, since you don't believe me already.
I'll be waiting.
