Villaraigoa To Take His Most "FOCUSED" Trip, EVER! Only Taking a "Handful" of Staffers to Cut Cost (Whoopie!!!)

IT'S OVER! Antonio, Matt Szabo is gonna KILL your career even faster than your own policy, with talk like this. But then again, I guess you aren't giving him much to work with. ZD/McIntyre/John & Ken, however, you are giving PLENTY to work with.

DAILY NEWS REPORTS: Final details are being hammered out for Villaraigosa's trip next month to El Salvador and Mexico, and the planned jaunt is proving popular with local television stations....which will include meetings with Mexican President Felipe Calderon. [WOW! I'm glad our mayor is a BIG STAR in Mexico & El Salvador. Let's get him a reality show and take him to NAPTE.]

"This (tenative trip from May 2-9) is a more focused trip than anything the mayor has done in the past," spokesman Matt Szabo said, noting Villaraigosa's previous trips to Asia and Washington, D.C., that involved large delegations. [I think that's JUST GREAT that this will be more focused. Isn't that just GREAT!]

LAPD Chief William Bratton will accompany the mayor to a gang summit in El Salvador. And City Controller Laura Chick plans to participate in a group meeting with Calderon -- AND TO HOLD HER OWN MEETINGS with Mexican officials about transparency in government. [HOW MUCH IS MEXICO PAYING OUR OFFICIALS TO TAKE THIS TRIP? WHAT! YOU MEAN LOS ANGELES TAXPAYERS ARE PAYING FOR THIS...LOL! "Laura Chick for President of Mexico!"]

SEVERAL CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS ALSO HAVE BEEN INVITED TO MEET WITH CALDERON, but it's not yet known how many will make the trip. [YA HEAR THAT CONSTITUENTS??? YOU CAN'T GET A PHONE CALL RETURNED, OR A POTHOLE FILLED ON YOUR STREET, BUT YOUR CM HAS TIME TO FIX MEXICO. Well, "La-Dee-F*CKING-Da!]

MORE HILARITY:

Sensitive to previous criticism about travel costs for the city delegation, the mayor will be accompanied by only a handful of staffers who will help coordinate the visit, Szabo said. [WE'LL AREN'T YOU JUST THE WALKING EMBODIMENT OF DR. DEMING! WOW, maybe we should call the trip: Survior, Mexico. How is Antonio gonna survive with only a "HANDFUL" of staffers. I hope the Listerine Breath Strip holder isn't going.]

I like that..."sensitive to previous criticism..." So they don't try and cut costs because it is the right thing to do; but because of criticism. (FEAR BASED MANAGEMENT, Y'ALL!]

Antonio, if you though you took sh*t for previous trips, this is a ZD/Doug McIntyre/John & Ken comedy bonanza! Thanks for keeping us in business another two years. I HAVE FINALLY COME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT THESE "BAD NEWS BEARS" OF PUBLICITY CANNOT KEEP HELP BUT EMBARASS THEMSELVES EVERYTIME. Seriously, at this point, I really DO think you should hire ZD to write your comments for you, Matt Szabo. YOU'RE WORDS ARE MORE COMICAL THAN GEORGE CARLIN'S.

LAFD: Caltrans needs to clear brush
City fire inspectors say the state transportation agency has failed to clear overgrown brush along at least six freeways, potentially putting thousands of homes at risk during the approaching summer wildfire season. (dailynews.com)

["F" it...in a cost saving effort, I say, "Let the brush simply burn if it starts fire...that will clear it. And if it doesn't catch on fire...we'll then it didn't need to be cleared in the first place.]

NO SENSE IN ASKING THE CITY OR STATE TO HAVE CONCERN FOR RESIDENTS RELATING TO (FIRE). I AM SURE YOU ARE AWARE OF THE LARGE 'REGIONAL' PARK IN ROSE HILLS THAT HAS OVER 200 ACRES OF UNTOUCHED BRUSH.

LAST YEAR A RESIDENT ASKED ME TO INQUIRE ABOUT THE COUNTY TENDING TO THE LAND THAT ~ CONSERVATIONIST, OPEN SPACERS, ENVIORNMENTALIST, AND LAND 'GURUS' WILL REFUSE TO MANIPULATE (CLEAR OF BRUSH), BECAUSE IT EFFECTS THE NATURAL ASPECT/CONDITION OF THE LAND. RESIDENTS IN NEARBY HOMES NEED TO COMPLY WITH FIRE CODES, BUT THE PARK DOESN'T.?? HARD ISSUE TO SOLVE.

SEVERAL OF THESE ORGANIZATIONS HAVE GREATER CONCERN FOR THE LIZARDS, SQUIRLES, AND TUMBLE WEEDS OVER THE IMPORTANCE OF HUMAN LIFE. IT IS NOT A QUESTION OF KEEPING THE LAND UNDEVELOPED, IT IS A PRIORITY OF SAFETY, PERIOD.

PERHAPS THIS EXPLAINS WHY I AM COORDINATING THE 'EARTHQUAKE PREPAREDNESS PLAN' AND NOT SOME ONE FROM THE AUDOBAN. PARK AREA IS GREAT AND I VISIT ALL THE TIME, TALK TO THE NEIGHBORS ON THIER OPINION ABOUT THE ISSUE OF BRUSH CONTROL.......

SORRY I FORGOT TO HIT THE 'CAPS' BUTTON......

AV's spokeshole said: "This (tenative trip from May 2-9) is a more focused trip than anything the mayor has done in the past"

So then, we're to assume that the mayor's other trips (i.e., junkets) were an unfocused waste of time.

BTW, I hope the mayor tells Calderon to get Mexico to clean up its act, stop the corruption, and stop exporting his impoverished people to the US. I doubt hizzoner will say this of course, but didn't he say to "dream" with him..

Good morning ladies and gentlemen (removes hat and bows low):

First off, the crew and I extend our condolences to the family of a Mr. Boris Yeltsin who passed away today. While 'im's a chap that throws back wodka, we still stand in respect for a man who could sip with the best of them, savvy?

Today we are sailing off the coast of Baja and expect to reach Cabo by this evening. We're on our way to Miami for that infamous pirate summit, savvy? I suppose that I'll be in and around Mexico at about the same time Villabarbosa is. And here is what I find rather amusing. Our Fearless Leader (A Democrat) is going to tell Their Fearless Leader (A Republican) How It's Done. Now this ought to be interesting, given the outrageous number of civic successes that this City has enjoyed in the last year or so. But enough of that, let's talk about something else, shall we?

Had a chance to have a spot of tea with Poor Lucille before we left port, and that particular juggernaut is starting to roll with some steam. Apparently, there are MANY who are willing to come forward to tell similar tales of being spied upon by the Powers That Be in City Hall. With that in mind, I'll throw this down to those sots who need a good poking with a stick. Just who was it that decided it would be a good idea to spy on the help? Anyone care to finger the sot who said "Yes, lets!"?

Now, bring me the horizon. If we're to make Cabo by nightfall then we've got some sailing to do, savvy?

Cpt. Jack,

Is this "spying" thing something NEW? If so, how's this for a headline:

WHY IS VILLARAIGOSA SPYING ON CITY HALL STAFF?

Is it time to roll with THAT thread?

Good morning Mr. Dogg (tips hat):

I'll have to be brief for my sat phone will only hold for so long, savvy?

Remember a while back at the beginning of the month when I posted about Dinger and the goings on at the Courthouse? And now your question to me...and my answer is...Lucille is suing for invasion of privacy for she claims that she was spied upon. Lucille works for the City. Connect the dots and you will see that the true culprit is

That's all this part of the blog does is blow hot air; ZD saves up his pennies to go down and give the Council Holy Hell.

The Holy Hell consists of an Eminem imitation (bad one) to which the members, to a one, pay no attention.

Go down and see for yourself one day, if you need a good laugh.

12:53pm,

First of all, you're full of sh*t. DON'T make me prove it. Secondly, even if you were right (which you are not) --

HOW MANY TIMES HAVE I TOLD YOU THE ONLY REASON I SHOW UP IS BECAUSE IT BROADCAST ON TV 35!!!

And that's not about wanting to promote myself...

THAT'S THE ONLY POLITICAL LEVERAGE A GUY WITH $0.00 HAS...In other words, the mayor and CM know people at home are watching, and so is the media. [Bro, if you dispute that...you may as well stop reading now]

So that's the "leverage", if there is any -- and I say there is, based on my experience Dowtown last Friday Night and Saturday.

I can assure you little old ladies are feeling Zuma Dogg, Sacramento is feeling Zuma Dogg, 22 year old latinos in bandanas, baggie pants and baseball caps recognized ZD for City TV (and THAT amazed me...cause these guys looked like hip hop rappers, so I was surprised they were watching City Council meetings.

YOU THINK, "I" THINK CITY COUNCIL WOULD GIVE A SH*T WHAT ZD HAS TO SAY, IF THEY WEREN"T HEARING BACK ABOUT "ZUMA DOGG, PUBLIC COMMENT."

Bro, I was FLABBERGASTED AND FERCLEMPT by the love on the streets and in City Hall this Friday and Saturday. (Spent all Friday-Sunday morning Downtown.)

Hit the Council meeting in the morning. Stumbled into De Leon's shady park meeting, Friday evening. (So I'm glad I stayed.)

LOVE Little Tokyo! And the Arts District (home of Southern California finest community co-op). FRIDAY NIGHT WAS 4/20, y'all...And ZD had to spend it at THAT co-op, y'all! (Blogged my Friday Night stories from there on the wi-fi, with DJs, LIVE Bob Dylan Tribute singer, FREE FOOD, and that lady who followed ZD at public comment of Friday.

Took the subway to Garshady's district for a 40 minute set at "Safari Sam's" where ZD did his first "spoken word"/comedy set on-stage. (Imagine 40 minutes of Zuma Dogg public comment, without Garshady there to break it up. YIKES!!! They got quite an earful....and were laughing, too.

[City Hall...that's what you better really worry about...ZD taking his act to local stages and comedy clubs...Based on Saturday...Y-I-K-E-S!] And they LOVED my danicing like Justin and singing like The Bee Gees, Eric...what's the problem?]

Anyway, there's a little ZD Prop. 215 tangent, to recap the weekend and let my friends know how much I am enjoying other parts of the City, and took the subway for the first time ever.

I never liked going into the Hollywood area, cause of the traffic and parking. So now, I will be able to experience new parts of the City, via SOME of the bus lines and subway. LOVE DASH...shuttled all around downtown Friday for .25 cents. ZUMA DOGG IS WILLING TO BE THE OFFICIAL SPOKESPERSON FOR DASH!

SUMMARY: ZD DON'T CARE WHETHER ANYONE INSIDE CITY HALL LISTENS OR NOT -- IT'S ALL ABOUT PUTTING THEM ON BLAST AND ON THE RECORD FOR THE MEDIA AND RESIDENTS WATCHING ON CITY TV 35.

Meanwhile, CMs...I know some of y'all get a good chuckle, from time to time. I know SOME of you like ZD most of the time. And I know some of you dispise me 100% of the time.

No one gets a 100% favorability on any research poll. But those "despise ZD 100% of the timers" better be wary of ZD's favorability scores, y'all.

Better do your own phone poll:

1. Do you have Time Warner cable? (If "yes", continue)

2. "Do you watch the City Council meetings on City TV 35." (if yes, continue)

3. "What do you like most about the Council meetings?" _______________________

4. "What is your favorite part of the Council meeting?"

5. "Can you name anyone you see on the TV 35 Council meetings?"

6. "What is the name of your Councilmember?"

7. "What is the name of your Mayor?"

8. "Have you ever heard of "Zuma Dogg?"

9. "Can you tell me a little bit about who he is and what he does."

[So I think this is a pretty neutral questionaire. Why not put it in the field and see what happens. IF RESULTS DO NOT SHOW "ZUMA DOGG" #1 IN FAMILIARITY AND FAVORABILITY (Overall positive score), I WILL TAKE ONE YEAR OFF! (Can place #2 in familiarity, only to the mayor -- but my positive still must be higher.]

If the City Council or the Mayor's office didn't give a shit about Zuma, they wouldn't have people full time tailing Mayor Sam. Its not Zuma or his act so much as its the fact that blabbermouths around City Hall are faxing/phoning shit to Zuma Dogg and Mayor Sam left and right.

Why is every public official either corrupt or shady?
