Thursday Hotsheet at 3 a.m.
Were the Mayor here, he'd tell you all about what's on the docket today, what your day should revolve around. And that's what I'm going to do too: Patti Smith plays tonight at the Santa Monica Pier. Admission: free.
Beckham---Goooooooool! in his first time out, in minuto 27, por nuestra ciudad. Noche galáctica, noche perfecta, says La Opinion. Yes, it was on a free kick (not a penalty kick, for those of you new to the sport) and yes he did bend it like nobody else can off of one of those.
It's best described right here:
If you want the plainwrap English version, try here.
Where else are they watching Beckham in the MLS? Here's an article...from Agence France Presse...about how David playing in the MLS bodes for England...in the Hindustan Times.
Hey, guess what? On the westside, they're moaning more about traffic as Council steps up for $6 million worth of surface street band aids.
"There's no secret that L.A. remains behind in modernizing its traffic lights," Weiss says. "It's municipal malpractice." "We're in total gridlock on the Westside. It's a nightmare," Rosendahl said.
Who exactly are they laying the blame for this at the feet of? It's like they're talking about some other Council. Beverly Hills'? Lawndale's?
This story will grip many this morning. A woman---a grandmother---tries to thwart graffiti in her neighborhood, and ends up murdered.
In other parts of the world, graffiti is a mere nuisance. Here, it is one of our greatest shames. Here it means far more here than it does elsewhere; it is pure territoriality; it mostly marks off turf. We are insouciant about enforcing laws about it. Property owners don't paint it out quickly enough. Paint stores will sell spraypaint to nearly anyone, especially in the suburbs.
Best of the blogs for the Sam set: blogging.la and KCET hit CD Catorce in style, offering up a virtual tour of Boyle Heights.
I do wish that blog would lose the F word a little more. But that's just me.

Janice Hahn is not only an embezzle but an idiot.. She makes this statement yesterday in counil as LAPD is giving explanation why it is their duty to help federal enforcers.
....Councilwoman Janice Hahn said the LAPD didn't always follow the federal lead. Over the years, the LAPD has ignored federal immigration laws and chosen not to ask people about their immigration status as a way to build a better relationship with the community, she said..."When we come back with our new regulations, I will be one of those who will ask the LAPD to rethink your policy," Hahn said.
WHO THE HELL DO THESE IDIOT COUNCIL PEOPLE THINK THEY ARE???? CAN YOU IMAGINE IF LAPD ASKED ABOUT IMMIGTRATION STATUS HOW THESE ASSHOLES WOULD BE ALL OVER LAPD????
These loser council people are a joke in the nation, haven't done a damn thing for our city, waste millions of dollars and they haver the audacity to question LAPD? I hope LAPD starts enforcing Special Issue 40 and we call all blame dumb ass Janice Hahn who needs to do something with herself. Have you noticed we have the worst dressed members in the nation. Janice needs a damn hair cut and they all need to learn how to dress
LA City Council is The Nerd Squad.
But ZD wants to see Janice in net stockings and topless; she's a grandmother.
Please Joe, get Higby to dump that jerk, he's taking down the overall quality of your and MS's posts and making this blog into a laughing stock, like himself. All the posts are depricatory and centeredon his inanity.
We need intelligent discussion such as that fostered by you and Sam, not banal toilet humor.
We're begging you, help us out.
Read his stuff and the posted responses if you don't believe me.
I just want to say Thank you to my Mentor and his family who had help and continue to help me tremendusly with my project with his support, I consider him like my second dad. All you jelous community people, I am a Latina and proud of what I do best to get head. in life. Regardless what people are saying, I owed it all to my friend, mentor, and his family for encourage to do the thing I have been able to accomplished in life. So all of you out there eat your heart out. Stop being jeleous, if you don't like what you see, then I would suggest do something about. I got my mentor,and my good friends, Joe, Richard, Ray, Oscar, Ron and many more, so now go find your!

7:32, why should he settle for just the top half? Why not go for the "nudal frontidy?"
--(Archie Bunker, All In The Family)
Jim Alger who never missed a chance to find a cause to get his name in the paper fresh off a victory in Sunland-Tujunga is now targetting a long standing, repected Catholic hospital that needs to expand per the community wishes to be more modern. This guy is running for City Council and wants some pillow bitin neighborhood types to come out for him.
ALGER victory? You are kidding right? Alger had nothing to do with it, it was the Do-It center consultants and Joe B. Be sure that its not really a victory. Fix is in, AV vetoes (too much money from the lobbyists and a big lawsuit against the city at stake), gots the votes to sustain. Wendy protected, store opens. Game over. See you in the screwdriver section.
Instead of butt ugly Alger and questionable Barrett, Sunland should have got Erin Brockovich to lead them. AV would have liked her knockers.
7:49am
you are the same person that keeps writing the negative stuff about alice and terisa and also pretends to not know how to write sentences in your past posts.
IT IS REALLY TIME NOW TO TAKE YOUR MEDS, IN FACT TAKE THE WHOLE BOTTLE
i BET YOU WERE BORN ON THE FREEWAY BECAUSE THAT IS WERE ALL ACCIDENTS HAPPEN! HA HA HA !!!
Alicia & Teresa:
I'm on your side, but you need to be more careful in your editing; here's the direct quote from your post:
"All you jelous community people, I am a Latina and proud of what I do best to get head. in life."
This is what we therapists call a "Freudian slip".
Zuma Dogg has created a fertile receptacle for the jerks who continually trash you. Just a explanation would be good, but the real problem is that Zuma is so stupid and inane that others are encouraged to act accordingly.
It is Zuma and his boy-toy Matt who need to take their meds, not you.
Si, se puede!!
Oh boy now the moron council members of Greusome, Weiss Ass want to do yet another study for traffic. Please tell me they can't possibly be this stupid???? I'm afraid they are and then some. All they do is waste taxdollars on studies. They haven't moved on Connie Rice report from back last Dec. That sends a loud message they could careless about the gang violence.
Look what was hidden in the LA Slimes Business Section today
A family drama in Spanish television
Telemundo elevates Michael Rodriguez in wake of Salinas scandal. His brother leads rival.
By Meg James
August 16, 2007
In a plot twist worthy of the most gripping telenovela, two brothers are battling for real-life television glory.
NBC Universal on Wednesday cast a new leading man to run Telemundo's KVEA-TV Channel 52 in Los Angeles, the Spanish-language station that has been rocked by scandal in the wake of revelations of an affair between one of its news anchors and the mayor of Los Angeles.
Michael Rodriguez, 40, started Wednesday as interim general manager of KVEA, replacing an executive who lost his job this month as a result of the station's ethical lapses in its coverage of the mayor.
But cue up the sinister-sounding music that is a staple of Spanish-language soap operas. His older brother is none other than Ray Rodriguez, the powerful president and chief operating officer of Spanish-language media giant Univision Communications Inc. -- the arch-enemy of the smaller Telemundo operation.
Telemundo declined to make Michael Rodriguez available for an interview, saying he was too new to the job. However, in an interview with the Miami Herald newspaper five years ago, when he was tapped to run Telemundo's TV station in South Florida, Michael Rodriguez said he had long looked up to Ray, who is 16 years older than he is.
"Ray used to hold my hand when I got scared at night," Michael said. "I was always attracted to the entertainment field, so when he went into it, I said, 'Why can't I?' Now when he does great, I'm happy, and when I do good, he's happy."
These days, Michael might not be so quick to cheer Univision's successes. In the ratings, Univision's prime-time telenovelas trounce those that play on Telemundo.
And in Los Angeles, Univision's KMEX-TV Channel 34 is so dominant that its local news programs typically trump the ratings of those that air on KVEA and the English-language stations, including NBC's KNBC-TV Channel 4.
What's more, Telemundo's KVEA is also still grappling with the scandal involving newscaster Mirthala Salinas' romantic relationship with Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa. It was 35-year-old Salinas who sat in the anchor chair in June and reported that Villaraigosa's 20-year marriage was falling apart, yet she did not disclose to viewers that she was dating the mayor.
Telemundo's top management later deemed her actions a "flagrant violation" of the company's ethics guidelines.
Early this month, Salinas was suspended from her job for two months without pay, the same punishment handed out to KVEA's news director, Al Corral. In addition, Manuel Abud was relieved of his duties as KVEA's general manager. Abud is expected to be reassigned to a new position within Telemundo.
Univision's Ray Rodriguez was traveling Wednesday and could not be reached. Ray, who was born in Cuba, has been with Univision for 17 years. He previously served as business manager for singer Julio Iglesias.
Michael Rodriguez was born in Miami. Just in case there weren't enough television personalities in the family, Michael is married to Maggie Rodriguez, who in June joined CBS News as an anchor of the "Saturday Early Show."

Zev was shocked, shocked to learn that there is development and traffic congestion going on in this city, and he offered to lead the people's revolution. Nice way to try to make people forget he was there first with the Westside Pavilion and Bev Center, then made sure there were no local or fed funds for rails or subways, until just this very minute, when he's now the biggest proponent, and insists we get the money right now so that the line can go all the way to Santa Monica. Yeah, what people were trying to tell you 20 years ago, Zev.
Janice Hahn and the other ladies must have a closet full of 80's power suits left over that they can't bear to part with, the big mannish things worn with big wide collars. Lucky they're not including the ties. That must have been when they all looked reasonably okay in a mannish way, and they can't let go of that image.
"I do wish that blog would lose the F word a little more. But that's just me."
Agreed -- it boils down to tact.
If you can drop the F-bomb with finesse (as Ken Layne does), it flows like water.

100% spot on. He beat Laura Lake on the Westside Pavilion too. Now Weiss is Zevving up like it's 1989.
1:24: Mailander, respectfully disagree. Weiss has been the biggest proponent of traffic mitigation to go along with the development: DASH bus routes expanded, pushing for metro/ rail to be built alongside the developments, incorporating living/ retail places in a planned community. Forcing the developers to be responsive to the neighbors.
The opposition is stuck in 1979, and overlooking the fact that Century City towers that JMB is developing has fallen into total disuse and disepair: the Shubert Theatres and cinemas shuttered and the few little delis bankrupt, like the bank. This is not putting new development into an area. Totally different when Westside Pavilion and Beverly Center were put in without any sense of the future, and opposing the subway/ raillines that would have been built by now.
I've been on several local H A's that have fought development since the 80's, and I see a difference in how companies like Westfield and JMB are treating the community. We can't stop big developments, which do bring in sales tax the city needs. Sales taxes are stagnant here, but growing all around us.
Hope Depot seems to have been heavy handed like back in the 80's, openly trying to buy the Council and dissing the locals, and they lost.
You wanna see big growth these days, look to Westfield Topanga (Zine), Westfield Sherman Oaks (Wendy again), and downtown. The sole focus on the Westside is yesterday's news, like Zev.
Worsen traffic problem everywhere?
LOL!
We blamed it on Jim Hahn, and elected Villaraigosa who promised to solve the problem.
Now it is getting worse?
At least during Hahn, the increased traffic was due to a rising local economy. So the traffic problem then was at least a “good problem”.
But since, the local economy has been going down. And now the traffic is getting worse?!!! How is that possible? How could anyone make that happen?
If the past administration could be blamed for the increased traffic because of a rising local economy, then we can certainly point the finger now at the team of Villaraigosa, Richard Alatorre and Robin Kramer (and whoever behind her) for the worse traffic congestions together with a falling local economy !!! What an unusual “accomplishment” for the Villaraigosa, Alatorre and Kramer team!
2:04: Jim Hahn might have ridden the coattails of the Clinton era, but he sure as heck didn't do a thing to improve the economy of L A himself.
But coming from the guy who probably is the one who wants to see Janice in nothing more than fishnet stockings, heels and a hat, I'm not surprised.
L A Observed observes that things are a'brewin' at University City Studios. The Desperate Housewives production has "been kicked out to Burbank" and there's a spic and spanning in the works, maybe moving Jay Leno's show in there. In that case, Conan O'Brien, who keeps bitching about and making fun of on the air, his cramped studio where the hallway and microwave have to pass for a town square and cafeteria, will probably move to L A to do his show live from here.
No more Conan live from New York. A coup for L A, Universal, and MAV? You can fight the Mayor, but what can you do about a crazy redhead?
2:04... WAIT A MINUTE...! Are you saying that Alatorre and Vilar are now quite literally fooling around with Kramer's behind? Vilar moves pretty fast; he must have gotten bored with Salinas and "moved on," bringing his friend Alatorre along for the ride.
You would think with all the money the council people make they could afford to buy decent nice professional clothes instead of the has been there in the 60's crap they wear. The women are the worst dressed.
Yeah for Ted. He's making the big time.
Ted Hayes
Appearing on Hannity and Colmes tonight!
3:55, At least they're wearing clothes. If they weren't, none of the "constituents" would show up for council, fearing they would have nightmares the following night. Clowncil would then add additional tax burdens to... wait a sec, which nightmare would YOU rather have, the current one, or the one cited above?????
3:30 pm
Have you ever seen Robin Kramer?
Why is everyone so down on Janice Hahn. As an animal lover I appreciate the fact that she showed up when they released that skunk back where it came from and that she has been involved with Reggie the croc. Even if she uses the photo op for pr, it still benefits the animals and I am all for that.

********************
What do you mean an animal lover, she was celebrating my capture and using this as an opportunity to get in front of the T.V. cameras.
And why is she posing for pictures with an alligator head on a stick? You can see these disturbing pictures on my blog.
By the way I am an alligator not a crocodile.
GOod evening Ladies and Gentlemen (removes hat and bows low):
We send our best wishes to the navigator who, if you will, returned to the Big Island to make sure his home was Flossie-fied and ended up sitting tight and drinking rum cocktails in the wind. (Strokes chin and muses) I wonder what would happen if we were to have a big blow here? (Smiles) But we do, it's called a Clowncil meeting, savvy? But let's not talk about that. Let's talk about other things, shall we?
To begin, do you sots even know what the F-word means? Besides coitus, what is its literal meaning? Being in the business that I am in, I have heard a number of you sots (especially the ones on the 4th floor) use the F-word several times in the same sentence. Makes one wonder if that is what you aspire to be, a professional F-er. (Shakes head) I would warn you, it's hard on the parts, savvy? But back to the question at hand. What DOES the F-word mean literally?
(Crew takes out their thinking caps and starts to ponder the Captain's question) While you sots are busy thinking, let me offer something else for you to think on. The other evening (before all this Flossie business started) I was having supper with the helmsman and the Bard at a nice establishment known as Zeke's in Montrose. At an adjacent table there were, if you will, some sots who think they are top drawer when it comes to political strategy. Friends of Fabian, you might call them. (winks) I would call 'em Friends Without Benefits for that was what they were discussing. The "friend who provides the benefit(s)", savvy?
Actually, the discussion centered around the friend who provides benefits to the machine that counts among its gears and cogs such gear heads as Our Esteemed Mayor Villar Plus Barbosa, CM's #1 and #14, a State Senator and several Assemblymen. And the consensus was that the machine was not going to throw a cog, but instead drift rudderless for some cogs won't budge. (Takes out Universal socket and ratchet) Oh bugger, not even THAT wench...er, I mean wrench will help, savvy?
So there you have it, chaps. "Drifting rudderless" was the phrase tossed around. Now being the sailor that I am, one can always catch some wind by dropping ballast. The question is, which cog will be the first to go? (Thinks deeply) Madame Wu said it was in the tea leaves, she did.
(Looks for Zuma Dogg) Say, lad. That shoe looks like its starting to wobble a bit. Do you think it will drop? And if it does, who shall pick it up and try it on to see if it fits, savvy? More importantly, are you going to do something to make it wobble more? Say the word, lad, for Bonnet and Roberts have sent their Six and Two out to spy amongst the shoe-makers.
(Looks at crew) Lads, have you come up with the literal meaning of the F-Word? (Quartermaster raises hand and whispers something to Captain Jack). Goodonya! (uses italics) To Plant.
So, sots, now that we know that the F-word, literally translated from Olde English, if you will, means to plant. And I guess that explains why a certain Mayor was a tad lax in getting around to planting a million trees when he was doing some of his own planting followed by broadcasting manure, for that is how manure is spread.....first you **** and then you broadcast.
(Whispers) Gives a whole new meaning to Film at 11, savvy?
(Waves ballcap in the air) Hurry back, Capt. Jack!
DUMP THE DOGG!!!
DUMP THE DOGG!!!
I say dump all anony-mouse posters who can't even make up a clever name.
What, now even "reggie the alligator" is calling out Janice Hahn for being a media whore.
You see there is common ground for the Mayor and the city council, lets all stand closer and say "cheese".
(As I tip my hat and scratch the bald spot on the top of my over-grown head wondering if Rogaine really works) Come on back Capt. Jack.
3:04
Riordan rode the Clinton economic wave, not Hahn, who came into office 3 months after the recession of 2001 started, which was then exacerbated by the terrorist attacks of 9-11. Neither one caused the traffic problems, which have resulted from never-ending population growth, with no real regional planning,lack of federal and state funds, and head-in the sand pols like Waxman and Zev.
