Thursday Open Thread: "Chinatown" Meets "Dune"
By Walter Moore, Candidate for Mayor of Los Angeles, MooreIsBetter.comMayor Villaraigosa's photo-op du jour yesterday was a plea for you to cut down on your water consumption by 10%. Hey, you want a really easy way to conserve much more water? Repeal Special Order 40 and start deporting illegal aliens. We could probably cut consumption by about 40% faster than you can take a long bath.
Speaking of which, in a city that has trouble providing water for the current residents, can we please stop increasing the populating density by granting zoning variances for new bee-hive type apartment complexes? Calling them "urban villages" or hiding them under the rubric of "restoring the L.A. river" does not change the fact that City Hall, to cater to the developers bankrolling their campaigns, is ruining our city by making it denser every day -- and I mean "denser" in every sense of the word.
One more for you: people are acting surprised that Paris Hilton has been released after serving 10% or so of her sentence. But as regular readers know, that's par for the course here in L.A. The Sheriff has a "90% off" sale for convicted criminals every day. If you want to cut crime, that has to stop.
Now go make a contribution at MooreIsBetter.com and then blog away.

Pretty pathetic the photo op mayor was desperately seeking a camera day. And to think damn DWP is going to raise our rates again. After telling NC's they would have input if it happened.
Hey, how about the photo op with Antonio, Sleazy Huizy about the little boy who was assaulted in broad daylight in El Sereno? Now Huizy is concerned for little kids. What has he done?? We know Antonio hasn't done shit and Huizy hasn't shit either.
They've all gone photo-op crazy. Have you noticed how many press conferences Delgadillo holds? Geez, yesterday he announced he was prosecuting a jay-walker!
80% of the water in California goes to agriculture, so that corporate farmers can grow native crops---like rice, in Sacramento basin rice paddies.
Asking ordinary citizens to cut back while we lead the western hemisphere in rice production and even ship rice to Asia is like asking you to stop barbequeing this summer so we can keep our energy supplies strong.
Good morning Mr. Moore (tips hat):
I have a theory to pose to you. Mind you, its just a theory, if you will, but a theory none the less, savvy?
Do you recall a young man whose father was rather interested in making sure his issue got out of jail rather quickly? Perhaps you do, as it was an issue in a certain mayoral campaign. It was suggested by some sots who were enjoying a morning latte at the local coffeehouse near City Hall that perhaps some strings were pulled for someone else, especially since her parents may have donated to a certain campaign, savvy?
Imagine that, Lawyer Walter. Stings to pull this way and that.

What will these guys think of next?
I want to know who got paid off to get Paris Hilton out of jail and back at home wearing a monitor. C'mon did Baca get some $$$$$ for that one??
God, you're tiresome, Walter.
Reading your prose is like drinking cold piss.
Your version of a licuado, verdad?
Walter,
The mayor's housing policy makes Iron Eyes cry. Building too many toilets in too many skyscrapers.
Delta River is not the Federal Reserve Bank. Cannot just print up more water.
Maybe me should write script for Hollywood showbiz types based on your "Dune/Chinatown" premise:
Call it "The Los Angeles Teepee Policy: How the CRA and Villaraigosa Makes Iron Eyes cry."
Iron Eyes Cody's favorite Mayor Sam stories on Water Crisis and why your Mayor now how to send smoke signals saying 'don't flushem toilets.
Iron Eyes Cody says, "Don't build infinite skyscrapers." I thought you were sympathetic to native americans, Antonio?
Why bother with Special Odor 40, Wacko? You can just ride along with LAPD and point out which hispanios are sans papeles, verdad?
If you can tell a busload of peeps of color heading into a polling place are illegal - from your second story office window, no less - then narc-ing them en masse from the back seat of a B&W should be easy as pizza pie.
Do us that service, Wacko. Point out ALL the illegals without ever needing to know anything but the color of their skin.
You know you can (you've said it before, here). Someone's got the full text . . .
You know you want to.
You HURT for the opportunity.
Gringo gots an URGE to purge the little brown ones. Sing along with him, everyone ... "You are the THIRD woooorld; we are UH-MERICUH!"
Hey 12:34 P.M.
sounds like a wetback it probaly is pissed off because the bill is not going to pass for all these illegal aliens!
GO BACK TO YOUR GARBAGE FULL OF A COUNTRY!
Ahoy, thar Captain Sparrow! 'Tis been many a fortnight I have made me presence known to thee!
Hast thou noticed a poll amongst our pueblo-dwellers 'pon the eldest of broadcast ports surnamed KTLA? The question posed be: "Woulds't thou cut back 'pon thy water use by ten percent?"
The running total be thus at this hour and minute:
Yes: 30.1% 164 respondents
No: 69.9% 380 respondents
Methinks the one in love with his daguerreotype image in yonder Pueblo Hall hath found another defeat!
Watch Antonio try and take away the spotlight cause his little floosie is back home and Rocky is pissssssed. You go Rocky!!!!!
L.A. CITY ATTORNEY DELGADILLO CONDEMNS SHERIFF*S DECISION TO RELEASE PARIS HILTON AFTER JUST THREE DAYS BEHIND BARS
LOS ANGELES * Los Angeles City Attorney Rocky Delgadillo today issued the following statement in response to the decision by the Los Angeles County Sheriff*s Department to release Paris Hilton from custody just three full days after she was admitted to county jail to serve an expected 23 days:
*Today I was extremely troubled to learn that the Sheriff*s Department has decided to release Ms. Hilton from custody just three
days after she was admitted to county jail.
*My office was not advised of this action. We learned of it this
morning through news reports, just like everyone else. Had we been
provided with the proper notification, we would have opposed the decision on legal grounds. *News reports indicate that the Sheriff*s Department released Ms. Hilton to house arrest due to a medical condition. This explanation is
puzzling. Los Angeles county jail medical facilities are well-equipped to deal with medical situations involving inmates.
*I am also concerned that the judicial process may have been
improperly circumvented in this case. Ms. Hilton was incarcerated as a condition of her probation. As a result, the judge retained
jurisdiction over her case and only the judge has the power to modify these conditions of probation. If Ms. Hilton*s medical condition truly warranted a change in her circumstances, what should have happened
is the following: Ms. Hilton*s legal counsel should have filed an
emergency application with the court and provided my office with the opportunity to respond, and then the court could have held a hearing on the matter to consider whether there was sufficient justification to change the terms of his original order.
*I have directed my criminal branch to immediately explore all
possible legal options to ensure that the law is being applied equally and justly in this case.
*If law enforcement officials are to enjoy the respect of those we
are charged with protecting, we cannot tolerate a two-tiered jail system where the rich and powerful receive special treatment. We must ensure that in our city, in our nation, and under our istitution, justice remains blind.*
On Friday, May 4, 2007, Superior Court Judge Michael Sauer found Ms.
Hilton to be in violation of the conditions of her probation. The court ordered Ms. Hilton to serve 45 days in jail, and further ordered: *No Electronic Monitoring* (quoting Court Order in People v. Paris Hilton,
Case No. 6MP09160, dated 5-4-07).
On May 16, 2007, the Los Angeles County Sheriff*s Department publicly announced that Ms. Hilton would be required to serve at least 23 days in custody.
Under Wacko's wig beats the pea-brain of a skinhead.
^ Anonymous name calling = I can't debate mano-a-mano and sign my comments with my real name.
Sad.
Hey 3:02P.M.
How come your ANONMOUS NUMNUTS practice what you preach!!!
People aren't going to listen to that sleazy, greasy Antonio. What happened in Orange County last year is going to happen in LA and we're going to run out of water. You watch.!!! No one respects our midget mayor cause he's an asshole and now he didn't say anything about DWP raising our rate and now he's asking us to conserve water? No way!! Funny why aren't the clowns on council saying anything about this?
HEY ANY WORD ON PROP R?????

I didn't call names. Your point is moot.
Since so much new info keeps pouring in to ZAP Headquarters via cell phone and email -- I am trying to introduce a main daily thread with all the new info, as it comes in, throughout the day.
So make sure to scroll down for that thread, as new ones are posted. I want to let the other threads stay on top -- but don't want to hold back on all the breaking info. So remember to scroll down throughout the day for the thread.
Then, late in the evening, I will post an new "overall update" thread as the new one, with all the links to the various blog where I am posting the longer info.
RIGHT NOW: CHECK THREAD FOR LOOOOONG CONVERSATION I JUST HAD WITH GLASSELL STAKEHOLDER ABOUT SIR BRADLEY. Kinda shows you how he's not even at all concerned to be seen bullying that lady, grabbing her paper out of her hand and holding it behind his back.
That's the key word with this guy, "Behind back." AND WORSE....
I agree with Walter.
But I wish Walter would get the courage to share what he says at Minutemen here on Mayor Sam.
Speak from the heart Walter, and don't mince your words. I've heard you speak the truth about illegals.
Speak Walter, and they will come!
SEND A MINUTEMAN TO CONGRESS
By Walter Moore - October 5, 2005 - www.MooreIsBetter.com
Tired of pinheads in government who won't lift a finger to enforce our immigration laws? Do something about it: help Minuteman founder Jim Gilchrist win his Congressional run-off election in early December.
Jim's website is: http://www.jimgilchrist.com/
Despite a "mainstream media" news blackout, Jim got over 14% of the vote in the primary election last night. All he needs to win the run-off is another 28,690 votes.
If you want results, put your money where your mouth is: send him a contribution, any contribution, to help pay for ads. Or put your mouth where your mouth is: you can call voters on his behalf, or hand out flyers in Orange County. Just visit his website to find out how you can help.
We need to stop wasting our time trying to convince career politicians to do the right thing. Instead, we need to replace them with people we know will do the right thing.
Jim Gilchrist has already shown, through his conduct, that he's serious about stopping illegal immigration: he founded the Minuteman Project. If elected, moreover, he's promised to introduce legislation to stop federal funding for sanctuary cities. Let's make this happen.
Don't just send a message to Washington; send a Minuteman.
Moore is better!

Walter was with us in Redondo. We should be with him at City Hall.
Cleanse our country!
This is NOT the same Walter Moore. Don't smear him by falsely attaching him to American Patrol, Minutemen, Save our State or any other hate group. Below the belt.
I wasn't smearing him. I was honoring him for his involvement with us.

I'm sure I wouldn't know. Your choice of beverages leaves something to be desired. As for your choice of prose, here's a suggestion: don't read it. Now, "beverage off," would you?
3:02:
You hit the nail on the head.
They've got nothing on the merits, so they try name-calling. Let's just hope their tasked with preparing the Mayor for the debates.
5:29 = 5:30 = People who have nothing to say on the merits.
walter the wet rat thinks that the only group of people who would disagree with him are mayoral staffers. WOW - you are so gonna get your ass kicked in 2009, its almost sad.
I have to say I admire your ability to ignore reality and shoot for the stars, but fuck man you are amazingly diluted.
Yes, walter the wet rat, I am calling you names and I'm not attacking you with facts or an argument. Its just way more fun to mock you and watch you respond to every comment about you or your posts because it just proves the point you could never stomach being in the spotlight.
FUCK YOU IN THE EAR YOU PIG FUCKING RACIST
^ "I'M MELLLLLLTING!"
LMAO. Oh man that was funny.
Merit time.
Walter,
Blaming the water shortage on illegal aliens is downright silly. The earlier post was right, agriculture consumes 80% of our water in the state, with or without aliens.
It's time to reexamine the model that we use to determine our sustainibility.
The water allocations to Western States looks like it was based upon a 50 year water cycle that was one of the wettest in the last 5,000 years.
WE LIVE IN A DESERT PEOPLE!
Time to begin massivly in de-salination research and development as it is our only stable source of water.
If you follow the link below, you will be directed to the water flow of the Colorado River. You will notice that Lake Powell is at 52% of capacity at the peak of the season. Lake Mead is at 50%. By the end of the year, Powell will be in the 30's and Mead in the low 40's.
As recently as 1983 Glen Canyon Dam, (Lake Powell) was near collapse from water flowing over the top. We have not reached full capacity since.
If DWP want's a rate hike from me, then let them earmark the money for de-salination, a permanant solution to the problem, not a temporary patch.
We cannot keep our level of growth without a permanant solution to this problem. I'm sure somewhere William Mullholland would agree.
Forgot the link.

Prop R legal challenge court date coming to a department 86 near you soon.A new date has been agreed upon by Rockards folks and the Hernandez-Hayes Team. Once judge gives the ok, it will be released. It will be in July, sooner than later.
Good evening Lord Chapman (removes hat and bows low with flourish): It's good to hear from you again it is, as its always a pleasure to hear from you, sirrah. In answer to the question, would I cut back on water by 10%? Only if 10% were rebated back to me each month by the Municipal Services Department, if you will, who took the 105 to start with, savvy?
(holds us glass of rum) Of course, that means that rum consumption shall increase. (raises glass to toast Lord Chapman) To you sirrah, and your very good health.
hey captain jackass, you're like that guy from dodgeball who thinks he's a fucking pirate. You're NOT A FUCKING PIRATE!!!!
weirdo
Let's see . . . the Mayor tells you to cut YOUR consumption 10%, and to take shorter showers. But this does NOT, to you, indicate excessive population density. Nor should we enforce existing laws to deport people here legally. No, the logical conclusion, of course, is to kill one of California's remaining few industries: agriculture.
PLEASE put that in the Mayor's debate notes, Lil Staffer, along with your puerile name-calling.
I always thought that when a town has to cut back on water usage, it is in anticipation of a drought -- not out of concern that illegal aliens are taking too many long showers.
Good luck in them debates there, Walter!

First he has to quality for the debates (and we all know thats not happening)

France gets tough on illegal immigrants
I came across this article today about France - yes, France, getting tough on illegal immigrants. I decided not to make any editorial comment. The article speaks for itself.
France gets tough on illegal immigration, setting quotas for arrests, expulsions
By Associated Press
Monday, June 4, 2007 - Updated: 04:53 PM EST
PARIS - France set tough new quotas for the number of illegal immigrants authorities should arrest and expel each month, the new immigration minister said Monday.
Brice Hortefeux, who heads the newly created Ministry of Immigration, Integration, National Identity and Co-Development, said a monthly quota also would be set for ferreting out those employed in France illegally.
In a meeting with security officials, Hortefeux reiterated President Nicolas Sarkozy’s goal of 25,000 expulsions by the end of 2007 - compared with 24,000 in 2006 - and set a year-end goal of 125,000 arrests for alleged illegal entry or illegal residence, a ministry statement said. The number of those already arrested was not immediately clear.
Sarkozy, who was elected May 6, pledged during his campaign to create a ministry of immigration and national identity to rein in the flow of migrants and ensure they are integrated into French society. Riots in French housing projects in 2005 were largely driven by anger among children of immigrants at persistent discrimination and a feeling of alienation from mainstream society.
Hortefeux said the new measures were aimed at "dismantling networks that exploit the misery of illegal immigrants," the statement said.
His orders came after he and Prime Minister Francois Fillon visited a holding center for illegal immigrants Monday _ and three days after the bodies of 18 illegal immigrants were fished from the Mediterranean by the crew of a French frigate.
The dead _ 12 men, two adolescent boys and four women _ were believed to be seeking new lives in Europe, though it was not clear what country they were coming from. They will be buried in France.
"The French Republic will be extremely firm. It will ensure laws are applied," Fillon said, adding: "Naturally, these laws must be applied with the greatest humanity."
Many saw Sarkozy’s proposal as a nod to the electorate on the extreme right, which long has made fighting immigration one of its main causes.
"Generosity is not opening wide the borders without thought for how people will integrate, how they will live, how they will subsist," Fillon said. [emphasis added]
Hortefeux, in his meeting with security officials, also insisted on the need to develop a system of paying illegal immigrants to voluntarily return home, setting the number of paid departures at 2,500 for this year _ a 25 percent increase from 2006.
Those volunteering to leave, as part of a program started in late 2005, are given a fixed sum of money, normally $4,700 per couple, with $1,350 each for the first three children.
