Doscientos vigésimos sextos

Rob Greene gets it precisely right on this 226th anniversary of our City's founding. His opinionla piece at the e-fishwrap about the Los Pobladores walk, a kind of annual Civil War reenactment that provides the usual foto-op for the usual suspects, sideswipes quite a few characters beloved by the readers here...

"As I was re-reading the founding documents of Los Angeles in bed last night...," Garcetti begins telling the crowd. Eric, I'm not sure that's the kind of thing you want to admit in public....

We know we've crossed into Los Angeles when we reach a stretch of tree stumps, hacked off a foot or two above the ground, where the shady streets trees once stood...

Now, across the street, Villaraigosa is at the microphone. "I've walked every year for the last few years!" he says. But not this year. "It was a great walk!" Huizar says. I think you mean half a walk, councilman. Greuel takes the microphone. "I walked outside this morning and it was 110 degrees," she says, "and I knew -- I'm not going to be able to walk."

Leído le todo.

I'm so glad to know that Garcetti has been reading the founding documents of Los Angeles.

Maybe he should read the fucking U.S. Constitution while he's at it.

Clowncil.

Robert Greene has had a lemon stuck in his mouth his entire life.

If they didn't celebrate it, he'd complain that LA doesn't acknowledge its history.

He is a constant pessimist and I wish he stayed at the Weekly where he was miserable.
