Why does the money for the mayor's bobble-head doll have to go toward Latino voter registration? Can't it just go to voter registration? Seems kind of racist.
If you want to make sure Villaraigosa loses the next election, simply make sure only registered, legal voter are allowed to vote, including the absentee ballots. Make sure you don't see fifty of them filled out in the same handwriting. Ensuring only legal voter are allowed to vote will ensure that Villaraigosa will lose. The only reason he won the election was because no one was watching the candy store.
What do you expect? Our elections are about as enforced as our border.
hey kevin deleon...i have a free turkey...you know where you can stick it! blog to you later, carpetbagger!
you're an elected official...start acting like one. you're on deck, son!
Zuma - what did Kevin de Leon do?
That’s a great "cranberry" video. Also an excellent example of your typical blogging burro admirer, who can't even open a can of pre-processed cranberry goo.
In honor of Thanksgiving, for the rest of this month the “Blogging Burros” will be known as the “Tattletale Turkeys”.
Happy Thanksgiving

So spill Zuma..
Does anybody know where I can find a video of Mayor Villaraigosa's "Personal" Deputy sleeping at an animal shelter meeting.
I have searched and searched the Internet but I could only find videos of Zuma Mutt making an ass of himself at L.A. City council meetings.

I think I saw Mayor V and Fabian in line at the early morning sale at Target in Montebello.
Zuma Dogg, do you think that was Villaraigosa and Fabian that I saw?
Zuma! What are you talking about? I agree with "spill the beans." Today!

Kevin de Leon falsified his own credentials. Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk.
Despite welfare reform and a strong economy in the latter half of the 1990s, immigrants in general and Mexican households in particular use every major means-tested program at higher rates than natives. While use of Supplemental Security Income (SSI) by Mexican households is only slightly higher than that of natives, their use of TANF/general assistance, food stamps, Medicaid, and the subsidized school lunch program is dramatically higher than households headed by natives. All of these programs are very large in size. In 1999, more than $300 billion was spent on the means-tested programs. Even the school lunch program, the smallest of the programs, costs more than $5 billion annually.
Not only do immigrants use welfare programs at higher rates than natives, their use of the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) is also substantially higher than that of natives. With an annual cost of $32 billion, the EITC is the nation’s largest means-tested cash assistance program for workers with low incomes. Persons receiving the EITC pay no federal income tax and instead receive cash assistance from the government based on their earnings and family size.
Myth: Mexican "illegals" are "parasites" who want a free-ride from the U.S.
My experience has been the opposite. Everytime I walk in downtown area of any American city, I am constantly approached by the poor looking for a handout ("Spare change for a cup of coffee?" "Spare change for a bite to eat?" "Spare change for a beer?"). Living and working in downtown Santa Cruz, I am confronted each and every day by apparently healthy able-bodied young men wanting a handout.
In Mexican cities, there are more poor than in American cities. However, in Mexico, it is rare to be asked for a handout! Don't get me wrong, the Mexican poor are quite skilled at separating you from your spare change, but they do it by selling you things: jewelry, souvenirs, etc. Even the small children sell chicklets chewing gum in exchange for spare change. Others offer to shine your shoes or provide some other service. However, it is quite rare to be asked for a handout in Mexico. Moral of the story? It is a myth in America that Mexicans want a free ride. The Mexican poor, in stark contrast to the American poor, hold an unquestioned assumption that they have to earn their way, and nearly always offer something in exchange for what they need.
A welfare revolution is taking place in Mexico, and the country's staple food, the humble tortilla, is at the heart of the changes. The price of tortillas used to be fixed - but this universal subsidy benefited rich and poor alike. Now it has been abolished, and the Mexican government is using the money saved (more than £500 million pounds this year) to target benefits at the poorest of the poor.
^ Jeepers, Mexico isn't using the peso anymore? Mexico is now using the pound sterling? What happened, did the British take over Mexico?
