Mayor Sam's Hotsheet for Wednesday

Joseph Mailander has what could be the photo of the year, certainly the best photo of a government vehicle since this one, that is an LAPD patrol car reportedly parked in front of Mayor Villaraigosa's Mount Washington home for several days. Amazingly, the members of the spin zone have managed to convince themselves its not a police car, its not there and it never happened. Keep repeating that mantra kids!

Tuesday the Los Angeles City Council voted to have the Los Angeles City Clerk take over running the elections for Neighborhood Councils. Generally in favor of the idea but wanting to delay it a bit was Councilman Bill "Open Shirt" Rosendahl who told reporters "You don't need to make a decision today and shove it down the throats of my neighborhood councils.'' Wow. Really?

The Coliseum Commission meets Wednesday to try and come up with a relatively acceptable plan that will convince USC to stay in the historic stadium and not move to the Rose Bowl. So far the Commission's counter-offers have yet to satisfy USC's concerns as to whether or not needed renovations to the facility will be made.

Thursday is the long anticipated "Day Without A Bag." Proving he's ready to celebrate, Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa will appear Wednesday on KCRW Radio at 1:00 p.m. to kick off the big day.

David Hernandez reports that Ted Hayes - convicted of trespassing in the Mayor's Office - was refused by the Judge in the case to allow him to serve time in jail. Hernandez is behind a campaign to draft the longtime homeless activist Hayes to run against controversial Congresswoman Maxine Waters for her 35th District seat.

The Downtown News agrees that Angelenos should be allowed to hail cabs just like in New York, San Francisco, Chicago or any other real city in America. And it needs to be done to provide the cabbies market incentive to pick up short hop fares by removing the stupid fare zones where folks can currently grab a taxi.

Some are accusing Carson City Clowncilman turned Assembly candidate Mike Gipson of trying to bribe voters with a chance to win free gift cards at Target if they presented a ballot stub to his campaign office (thank God it wasn't Home Depot) but Gipson claims it was just an effort to turn out the vote. State officials say the move is legal; though probably skirts the spirit of the law. Didn't matter, Gipson lost the special election for the Democratic nomination to LA Community College Trustee Warren Furutani (get ready - open College board seat - line up candidates!)

Is this any surprise? Her older sister drives around with her infant child on her lap; now 16 year old actress Jamie Lynn Spears will disclose to Ok! Magazine that she is 12 weeks pregnant.

And finally, don't forget to RSVP for our Holiday Party on Saturday and to vote in the 2007 Mayor Sam Awards.

The Coliseum Commission is tired of USC mouthing off; the Trojans may get a little surprise today; one that will delight them as much as did the last Stanford game.

With all the energy spent on talking about Mexican Illegals and deportation, how about a concerted effort to deport idiot celebrities out of state. Hasn't everyone had enough with Brittany, her clone idiot sister, Paris, Lindsay, and all their hangerson? Once they were put on a few buses without brakes to the Az border, the paparazzi would also leave.

To Britanny's sister, well, congrats, don't even think about home schooling.

What is the big deal about an empty poilce car parked in front of the mayor's place?

It's done by many police departments, it's cheap and has some results. The Blogging Burros are such idiots, who criticize how the midget mayor ties his shoes.

Good morning Ladies and Gentlemen (removes hat and bows low with flourish):

Sots, in an age where information is key and the key to information is having the right information, I've taken the liberty of sending not only one of my Five to investigate this, but also sent a request to my pirate colleague, Captain de Marisco of the CQ to confirm the existence of the police vehicle parked out in front of a certain private residence in Mount Washington. This morning I received the following e-mail from Captain de Marisco:

"¡Capitán Sparrow de la buena mañana! En su sugerencia, envié dos de mi equipo hasta la localización del Mt. Washington el ayer por la noche, y el coche del policía todavía se parquea allí. El número del coche es 94940 y el número de la placa de la licencia del vehículo es 1053256. Si su alambique allí, nosotros pone una muestra del "COCHE LIBRE" en él y ve quién viene eliminarlo."

So there you have it. The police car is STILL quite abandoned there. The car number is 94940 and the license plate is 1053256. (Looks at car and kicks tires) Bloody hell! This one even has all the bells and whistles and even the flashing-lights upon the roof. (Hears woman yelling and turns around) No, Mrs. Kefflebaum, this is not the car that the little old lady from El Sereno drives. She drives a '68 Cougar XR7 and no, there's no hard liquor involved!

(Turns back 'round and whispers) I hope de Marisco uses waterproof markers on his FREE CAR sign, for I would hate to see the colours run and ruin such a pretty paint job, savvy?

NEWS FLASH: Britney's Spears' 16 year old sister Jamie Lynne is 3 months pregnant.

That's right, she's only 16. (And a hoe.)

"MAV and his COCHE LIBRE". I love it. Wonder what else he has in his closet with the Libre label on it.

I'm offended. Among those of us raised as trailer trash, 16 and pregnant is far from being a "hoe".

We call that "arrested development" (as in - what the hell took you so long girl?)

Here's a couple more "TT" definitions you might find useful.

"Virgin" -- 9 year old girl, butt-ugly, AND can run faster than the boys in the trailer park.

"Condom" -- a really stupid prisoner at the penitentary, see also "dum con".

"Birth Control" - "That's what they teach you at those Lamaze classes, right? (Or, see the last sentence of the "virgin" definition.

I guess no one saw the small sign in the police car's window which states: "FOR SALE BY OWNER."

Thank you for spelling it Angeleno rather than Angelino. That really jacks me off.

So 9:20 a.m. apparently thinks that blindly attacking everything the mayor does (which certainly seems to be the M.O. of some posters here, both named and anonymous) is somehow more intellectually justifiable than blindly defending? That's rich!

Nothing's that simple. Idiots are idiots no matter whose side they're on. A pox on both your houses.
