Mayor Sam's Hotsheet for Monday
The "perfect storm" of LA traffic could come Monday morning as Interstate 5 in the Newhall Pass is significantly impacted by a fiery truck crash Friday. More information, details and tips here.More on the following by clicking read more: Hardware Stores and Strip Clubs, Beware of Politicians Crying Wolf; Asking for More Taxes, NBC Universal Scorecard, LA Fire Department versus the Nanny State and Brady's Bunch.
The LA City Clowncil has identified a new scourge right up there with liquor stores and strip clubs: hardware stores. There used to be nothing more all American than the hardware store. But thanks to wackos here and there, they're now worse than pornography. Along with religion right?
WestchesterParents blog makes a very good point as to why you should not trust politicians' requests for you to vote for more taxes and more bonds. Every time a politician wants to reach into your wallet, they give you some dire circumstances that will occur if you don't pony up. Here is a litany of past appeals for funds that were supposed to solve our state's coming water crisis - and yet we still are in the midst of one of the worst water shortages in 20 years. Just say no.
NBC is coming to Universal City but not everyone is happy. Councilmember Wendy Greuel and the local Chamber of Commerce supports the project; Councilmember Tom LaBonge and County Supervisor Zev Yarovslasky - as well as some local NIMBYs - are saying wait a minute.
The LAFD Blog has some good tips about preparing for minor and major disasters that could come your way. Don't way for your local nanny state neighborhood council to take care of you, be accountable to yourself and your family and follow Brian Humphrey's excellent advice.
The every so often LA Times puff piece on gadfly Brady Westwater has run in Steve Lopez' column. How about a piece on Don Garza who is far more in tune with what is happening in Downtown LA that goofball Westwater? Yea, I don't agree with some things Don says but he's far more in touch than a guy who changed his name to get chicks.
The LA Times reports that a strip club plans to open in an old meat packing plant in Regent Square however residents and some local officials want to block the business. One point against the club is its proximity to another adult oriented business - a "bondage" club. City law says that such businesses must be at least 1000 feet apart. The strip club is 993 feet from the bondage club; owners plan to lop seven feet off the building in order to comply. At least one local stakeholder isn't so opposed: he says that the gentleman's club should smell much better than the meat packing plant did.

When Prop 13 passed years ago it was predicted there would be no police, no fire department...on and on. In fact the P13 was looked on at the time as the end of "Western Civilization" itself. Somehow when you make government live on less they do exactly that.
This comment must be from a renter who has come to expect more, more, more taxes from homeowners. As it is dummy it's the brisk real estate sales and turnover in recent years that have provided all the tax growth we've had, and now that prices are slowing, so is that gravy train to the poor and socialists like you.
If taxes hadn't been capped, people wouldn't have been selling and buying new properties (new owners have to pay very high taxes, so the fixed income and those who can't afford it stay put) at all.
You renters, those who work for unions especially UTLA/ teachers, always want to tax "the rich" more when in fact, they/we are fed up with inadequate services for what we're paying now, because too much goes to "the poor" like in Janice Hahn's, Perry's, Reyes and Huizar's districts/
Let them get off their butts and bring in their fair share of revenue by attractive Big Box Stores, big grocery chains and other sources of jobs and revenue, like every other city does better than L. A. They/ you just demand, from the hardworking property owners who would just as soon secede and get rid of the rest of you. And will if you keep this up.
Alarcon talking about Los Angeles today, as keynote speaker at National Health Week: "We consider this the capital of the Latin world, the capital of Latinismo," after going on about how there are no borders, the Latin world and the U. S. are one, we are responsible for everyone "in the Western Hemisphere," (not the east coast of America or Canada or Europe) although THIS IS CALLED NATIONAL HEALTH WEEK.
Alarcon blasted the feds for cutting free healthcare to all the nation's kids: his agenda is clear, he means, for the Hispanics, including illegals in his district.
Everyone else spoke in Spanish first with broken English translation OR no English at all.
Check out this farce on Ch. 35.
Shows that cholo Alarcon's real stripes and agenda, to hijack U. S. national funds for all "Latinismo," the Latin American world.
I think Villar has backed away from this sort of thing since being Mayor but he sure better beware of a huge backlash if he joins the Mechas like Alarcon. It's a good sign that Alarcon isn't one of his closest allies -- Alarcon doesn't think Villar is Mexican enough.
ALL the speakers from the NATIONAL HEALTH FORUM were from Latin American countries or capitals, like El Salvador, Guatemala, Mexico and ALL spoke in Spanish, little English translation at all.
They ALL talked about the theme of how the US Gov't/ Bush Administration is horrible for not putting up unlimited funds for IMMIGRANT HEALTHCARE RIGHTS. That is, for the Hispanics who come here illegally from Latin America and Mexico!
Of course, Alarcon said is so many words that Los Angeles is the Capital of the Latin World! That WE are responsible for healthcare for the whole Latin world outside the U. S. as well as inside!!!
Where is the media on this? The English-speaking media is asleep at the wheel when it comes to what is going on in Spanish-language. THIS was on Ch. 35 in the morning, but as it "seemed" like Spanish tv, all dark haired, dark Hispanics speaking in Spanish, no one tuned in.
Alarcon is a Mecha for sure, who else is? Huizar, Reyes and the rest need to speak out -- we see their stripes at these events. Huizar and Reyes supporting their district illegals is bad enough, but Alarcon openly saying we in the U S must pay for healthcare for all Hispanics illegal AND foreign as an "Immigrant Civil Right," is making him a foreign anti-US agent.
It is a big plus for Mayor Antonio that he and Alarcon don't get along. Alarcon has NO support outside the radical Hispanic community.
This blog attacking ALL Hispanics with the same broad brush comes off as just stupid and racist: if you point out specifics like this one about Alarcon, you can influence the mainstream media and blogs to investigate.
Excerps from Daily News Rick Orlov.
How many feel about the "KENNEDY REPUBLICAN".
Some prominent Republicans are having second thoughts over the recall campaign that ousted former Gov. Gray Davis and ushered in Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Among them is campaign consultant and pollster Arnold Steinberg, who believes Schwarzenegger is seeking too much accommodation with Democrats.
"He has a (Nelson) Rockefeller complex," Steinberg told the Flash Report in a recent interview. "Instead of slave labor, he borrows to pay for pyramids. The legislative Democrats initially feared him, but he quickly gave away the store.
"The recall was the perfect storm for Republicans. Now we see that no recall would have been superior. Fiscal collapse under Gray Davis would have assured Republicans victory in 2006.
"Now? Schwarzenegger's legacy is, effectively, the disorientation of the Republican Party as we know it."
Arnold is the only thing we have standing between us the people and the redneck, anti-LA Republicans, like the cowpatch redneck from Redlands who headed the committee which stole OUR $1.3 billion in gas taxes, and spread it around "like manure" across the state to any Republican town, even one-traffic light cowpoke towns. Money that we'd counted on to finish the rail line/ Expo Line from downtown to Santa Monica, stalling it in Culver City. And going that far only because of scrambling around.
The Dems may pander to unions and ethnics, but the Republicans steal our mass transit funds and hate L A
We NEED Arnie and his strongarming, even MORE. Go Arnold! It takes someone with Dem connections but rich and self-assured enough not to cave to anyone, to be the middle.
Yo, Arnie! Screw the redneck Republicans, kick 'em back to Stockton and Redlands!
Alarcon is a Mecha for sure, who else is?
Huizar, Reyes, Villaregosa,Nunez, Allatore. No one will tell me 'WHEN DID HUIZAR BECOME A CITIZEN?
Things that make you go hmmm.

2:18: Yes, re Arnold, except for his healthcare plan, which goes along with the Democrats in pushing to make everyone buy a healthcare plan but NOT negotiating a bargain deal for us. If big companies can do that, why can't the government? Just forcing people to buy insurance at high market rates, is punitive. It could even make people afraid to go to the hospital or they'll get arrested there?
And guess who won't buy it, because they aren't legal so you can't even track them down if they break the law? Yes, the same illegals who don't bother buying car insurance. They can disappear the gray netherworld at the drop of a hat if they risk prosecution -- get another fake SS ID, even name.
4:19: you're the kind of tired one-note anti Hispanic who gives no credibility to any valid criticism. They're not all the same, believe it or not. Even many white pols change their stripes from radical student days. Then again, white guys with $400 haircuts like Bill Edwards want free college for everyone as long as they work a few hours a week, illegal or otherwise, free health insurance for all kids, illegal or otherwise, and are no better than Huizar or Reyes.
