We want Clinton, all the way.
(She's the only one we Republicans can beat)
Clinton
Giuliani - however, wish Ahnold could run.
No on Prop S?
Peanut M&M's because I like the marriage of chocolate with peanuts. Have a hearty texture, they're scrumptious, contain protein and caffeine to help keep you wired as you go smacking upside the head of everyone on your team and telling em' to hurry it up. Of course I always save a few for the blond with the big Bazookas who sits in front of my office. Now Z Dogg, you have an hour to shower and dress. Were driving out to Big San Fer to get us some out of this world menudo, at Carrillo's. No need to pack my man, you are my guest, and I will introduce you to the famillia, more than a couple of emeros, some in, some out. Please don't ask too many questions here (-; but we'll shake the bushes and see what the grapevine is saying...We'll also get a chance to chew the fat with the boy's (L.A.P.D.) from Mission Hills Division as they start filling in for their Sunday AM usual...and see what's moving down their pipeline.
I will vote for a president who funds much needed psych wards.
Will Zuma go eat menudo with his new cyber stalking friend Tony aka Santiago aka Don Quackers.
Will the cyber stalker actually leave his computer for a few hours? Or will we see comments every hour on the hour from the cyber stalker. Zuma plug this into your bat computer and see what's crackin.
Clinton
Sorry, trust is really a problem, but since your pushin' - Giuliani.
No on prop S - Stop the nickeling and diming.
Peanut M&M's for the same reasons given by Drinking With Tony, let me just say that China added over 73 million Internet users last year to up the present number to 210 million users. talk about potential growth for Mars…ah yes , I'm seeing it now, these 210 mil each with a candy bowl of M&M's next to the keyboard. M&M's were first sold in the United States in 1941, and In 1954, Peanut Chocolate Candies were introduced.
Latinos for Obama. He has the vision, leadership and inspiriation that has people getting involved. The fact that the Clinton's starting using race as a factor and the negative mean comments they've made about Obama show Hillary's character as a person. Also, she says it was her supporters who filed a lawsuit to stop Latino culinary workers from voting then said she didn't know about it. BIG LIE...WE don't need ANOTHER LIAR in the White HOuse. IF Hillary could be so dumb and choose Antonio as a campaign manager then her judgement is way off and I don't want her making the same judgements for the country
MS...Why did you leave Prop 93 out? After all that's the most important vote of all!
Only 16 more days left until Nunez, Perata, and Cedillo are GONE! Or...termed out! Plus 42 more corrupt career politicians...well, not all of them are corrupt...only the ones with last names ending in EZ!
NO on Measure S....a no brainer!
I will vote for Castro before I vote for Hillary...but I LOVE Obama!
McCain WILL get the R nomination...

LA Times, CNN are hosting democratic debate on Jan 31 here in LA. Why was Hillary allowed to meet with editorial board of LA Times just last week???? Talk about a sleazy piece of trash newspaper. Isn't this the paper that consistently has puff pieces on the Mayor and has lost thousands of subscriptions?
Anything to win
Re "Racism and sexism" (Jan. 15):
How ironic is it to see Hillary Clinton with her cheating husband standing on the podium accepting the support of another cheating husband, Antonio Villaraigosa. Anything to win. Right, Hillary?
- Gordon Osborne
Woodland Hills
Let's see Bill Clinton pardoned Vignali the biggest coke dealer in US, allowed a 21yr intern to give him blowjobs, had affairs with Jennifer Flowers for 12 yrs., Paula Jones affair, sexually assaulted Ms. Wiley and Hillary stands by her man cause its more important to get fame and press then have the courage and self respect and dignity for yourself as a woman.
The times fired thier Black editor Dean Baquet in the fall of 2006. Hopefully the Times will come around to lening more centrist in the future. More Readers are trading newspapers for Web Sites. Among the nation’s largest newspapers, only a handful have held their own.
Heard friday on the John & Ken show...Tony villar has another mistress but that ex-Mayor Richard J. Riordan has two mistresses presently and that he had one mistress when he waklked away from his marriagein 1995??
Obama edged her out for national convention delegates at stake, taking 13 to her 12.
Obama issued a statement that said he had conducted an "honest, uplifting campaign ... that appealed to people's hopes instead of their fears."
O.K. Obama wins presidency.
O.K.?
Letter writer Gordon Osborne in today's DN complains about Hillary having two cheating husband politicians helping her campaign because it shows how ambitious she is.
If enough people agreed with Mr. Osborne's genius observation, perhaps it would actually be quite a liability for H. Clinton to do that. But apparently there's a lot of room up there on Mr. Osborne's "high moral plain," because Clinton's no dummy and she wouldn't have those guys campaigning with or for her if it would be all that damaging.
Another "idiot with a typewriter" is allowed out of the asylum for a few precious minutes.
Yeah and his alluding to his close connection to the "emeros" is a typical ploy to elicit some kind of respect. Actually most of us in the know agree that the old fool is just aother wanna-be with misguided values.. That Zuma Dogg might risk going off with DQ's imaginary crew to Carillo's to slurp menudo, but guarantee before the ride home is complete he'll be Barfing in His Own Damn Hat...
It's not only cheating husbands that she has on her side - it is lying, vindictive, self absorbed male chauvinist that she has on her side who every now and then throw a bone to the feminist majority to get elected (i.e. Tony's name change and Bill's selection of Janet Reno).
Hillary shows all the trademarks of battered wife syndrome - just like Corina. But Corina has tons more integrity since she opted to keep her dignity instead of feeding the lying macine. Some role model she would be for all those abused women out there - "gotta stand by your man..." - didn't she make fun of the singer who sang this song? But this is exactly what she is doing -
hypcrisy reigns in the Democratic Party establishment.
No On Prop. 93. Don't let them fool you. This extends term limits. It does not limit the terms for current people holding office, it gives them more time to serve. Get these idots out of office.
No on 93.
Hey, don't miss the Midget Mexican Mechista Mayor on FOX TV today.
I guess he isn't important enough to get on John & Ken's show so he can get trashed by the likes of ZD, Matt and Mike Hunt (can't help it, his name makes me laugh).
And, be sure to vote for Prop S and
Whoops
Vote for Prop S and 94, 95, 96 and 97.
Don't let Vegas have the money, give it to our taxes, not theirs.
Latinos for Obama? Who is using the race card? You are. What about blacks, whites and others? Whoever brings race up is using that race card including you.
Obama is not dumb but his supporters make him look dumb when they take Hillary's comments out of context and twist them when all she said was the truth about MLK and politicans. It look both to make the civil rights laws pass.
Without both nothing could have been achieved. I am not of fan of either of them, but telling the truth is important. And everyone needs to stop using the race card, even those here that are using it.
9:55 Ok ok now go away!!
Is there anyone reading this thread who thinks there was more than one person posting all of these comments?
How many people do you think are reading this blog in the Sunday 7am hour, let alone standing by to comment? I don't think the Justin Timberlake blog would have this many comments.
And I don't think anyone is fooled when this same person tries to cover their tracks when they start posting the identity of who they want us to THINK is doing all this posting.
DO YOU REALLY THINK A BLOG WOULD GET 28 COMMENTS IN THE 7am HOUR ON SUNDAY REGARDING M&Ms?
I don't know about 7am but I definately like M&M's, good topic!
Z Dogg "thanks for the memories", (apologies to Bob Hope),
Yea M&M's, one of the last vestiges of the USA's R&D superiority in all things unique and universally successful to all of mankind, (along with Jazz, Coca Cola, lowriders, and Disneyland.
M&M's with peanuts is my preference, not that I don't like the plain M&M's it's just that they spill out of the bag too much and then 10 years later you find them behind your couch or car seat.
No my love for M&M's began as a young boy at the Saturday matinee movies where with 50 cents it was possible to catch a flick and 20 cartoons for a quarter and with the other 25 cents you could buy some M&M's.
To me M&M's were the hot ticket because even though I preferred "Flicks" (the chocolate drops in the shiny tube) they were too expensive and went to fast. On the other hand the longer lasting "Big Hunk, Abba Zabba, Big Daddy suckers", and especially the box of DUBS would all get stuck in your teeth, for at least a couple of days.
No, while watching the great films of my youth, "Invaders from Mars, Thing, Creature From The Black Lagoon or The Day The Earth Stood Still", it was always M&M's.
And to this very day I still enjoy a bag of M&M's (peanuts) especially while driving from LA to say Albuquerque or El Paso Or Portland, 800 to 1,000 miles.
Yea when it's late, and your still a couple of hundred miles from your destination, and it's midnight, and you've got white line fever, and the Art Bell radio show dealing with UFO's or the Chupacabra phenom has been lost, and all you can get in Gallup NM is the local Navajo Pentecostal Hour or some right wing loony ranting, and your almost out of gas and your nodding off.
Then like a glowing shrine in the dark night, up ahead, "Loves Truck Stop", or "Terrible Herbst",.
You pull in and gas up, go in the door past the truck drivers playing "Drive By" or "Pac Man" on the computer, past the greasy hot dogs turning on those steel roller cookers, past the "girls gone wild" video and CD display, and then there is, the candy counter with the M&M with peanuts yellow bag.
I usually buy a couple bags and an extra large cup of sour coffee for the road.
Back on the road the M&M's and bad coffee will wake me up and keep me alert better than a handful of Bennie's (well not quite that good) and I can make the last couple hundred miles to my destination feeling groovy.
M&M's, Viva!
And Z Dogg, this is my first post up today so check my IP or email me if you like.
Plain. In election season, peanuts bring to mind Jimmy Carter.
LMAO Zuma! Check her IP. MC's got IPZ from Lisbon to San Juan, a real anony mouse, y'all.

Cleveland sues lenders over foreclosures
January 20, 2008
BY THOMAS J. SHEERAN Associated Press
The city of Cleveland, an epicenter of the nation's home foreclosure crisis, has sued 21 banks and claimed their subprime lending practices created a public nuisance that hurt property values and city tax collections.
The lawsuit was filed in Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court, and seeks to recover hundreds of millions of dollars in damages, including lost taxes from devalued property and money spent demolishing and boarding up thousands of abandoned houses.
The city of Cleveland is seeking to recover hundreds of millions of dollars in damages, including lost taxes from devalued property.
Tony Dejak / Associated Press
Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson said that the buying and selling of high-interest mortgages by some of the nation's biggest banks had devastated city neighborhoods struggling to recover after the loss of manufacturing jobs.
''We have to hold accountable those who are responsible,'' Jackson said at a City Hall news conference.
Jackson compared the impact of the mortgage practices with the harm caused by drug dealing and said the motive was the same: profits.
The mayor said the city has faced skyrocketing foreclosure-related costs, including police and fire protection for abandoned homes, the expense of maintaining the properties and lost taxes.
The foreclosure crisis has been bad news for nearby homeowners and cities across the country because they lead to falling property values and increased crime.
Cleveland is not the first city to sue lenders over recent mortgage troubles. Earlier this month, Baltimore sued Wells Fargo, alleging the bank intentionally sold high-interest mortgages more to blacks than to whites in violation of federal law. The Baltimore suit alleged that Wells Fargo targeted black neighborhoods for high-risk and unfairly priced loans. Spokeswoman Debora Blume said in a statement that the company does not consider race when making loans.
Cleveland based its legal challenge on a state law that relates to public nuisances.
Jackson and Law Director Robert Triozzi said Cleveland should have been excluded from the frenzy of selling mortgage-backed securities to investors. The practice, known as securitization, became popular during the housing boom earlier this decade.
Triozzi said the big banks were targeted because of their practice of pushing subprime mortgages to fuel profitable bond sales.
The city said Cleveland housing prices remained relatively flat amid industrial layoffs as real estate values jumped elsewhere. The suit claimed that even though these issues were well-documented, investment bankers pushed loans to investors at the expense of borrowers.
The list of defendants includes both banks involved in a $4.1 billion takeover announced last week -- Bank of America Corp. and Countrywide Financial, which will be bought by Bank of America. The acquisition will make Charlotte, N.C.-based Bank of America the nation's biggest mortgage lender and loan servicer.
Bank of America spokeswoman Shirley Norton said she couldn't comment on the lawsuit because she knew nothing about it.
A message and e-mail seeking comment were left at Countrywide offices.
Deutsche Bank Trust Co. and Wells Fargo & Co. were named in the suit as foreclosing the largest number of homes over the past four years in Cleveland and surrounding Cuyahoga County. Deutsche Bank Trust was estimated to have 4,750 foreclosures in that period, and Wells Fargo had roughly 4,000, the lawsuit stated.
Deutsche doesn't comment on pending litigation, spokesman John Gallagher said. A Wells Fargo spokeswoman said the bank could not provide an immediate comment.
''There is no doubt, in terms of the resources, there is going to be somewhat of a disparity -- a big disparity,'' said Joshua Cohen, the lawyer leading the lawsuit. ''We're confident in our theory and what we have alleged. We knew exactly what we were taking on.''
Ohio Attorney General Marc Dann is considering a state lawsuit against investment banks. Dann said a state filing is months away and probably wouldn't be submitted as a public nuisance case.
A report commissioned last November by the U.S. Conference of Mayors projected that 361 metropolitan areas would take an economic hit of $166 billion in 2008 because of the rise in foreclosures.
You left out the color issue. As a kid, I would not eat a green M & M.
Drinking with Tony = Santiago = Don Quixote = lonely attention whore and cyer stalker?
Does he ever leave the computer to know about the real world, and not his imaginary world.
The lonely cyber stalker writes ...
And Z Dogg, this is my first post up today so check my IP or email me if you like.
Zuma don't do it this guys seems creppy and a psycho!!!!! I can rest my modem and get a new IP address , it's called "Dynamic IP Addressing" most DSL modems do this.
Loney cyber-stalker is old blow-hard fool from this blog about gangs and crime. He was many, many personalites on that blog as well. And often glamorized his imganinary (emero) mexican mafia family member and friends. He most spend all day posting comments on many blogs.
http://inthehat.blogspot.com/
Someone wants you to know, very badly, that they feel Drinking with Tony=Don Quioxte=Santiago=others and that they feel this person is not a man, but a woman.
So there you go...that's it. Any future comments bringing this to attention will be deleted. Sorry. No one really cares, and Santiago ain't gonna be around much more either, if he/she doesn't back down on the number of postings.
(Some stay up...but tomorrow...if it keeps up, not a one will remain. So please pick and choose your comments wisely, because you can make some good points when you want to...but if you keep up the blog clogging, not a single one will remain.

No on 93. They lied. It extends term limits. Don't believe the ads. It keeps current politicans in office longer.
How about electing a President who will give a hoot about global warming and take care of our whales and dolphins as well as get Iraq up to speed so we can get out of there. Also, how they intend to address our crumbling infrastruct, the homeless problem that is getting worse and ILLEGAL immigration.
Are there stats available about regarding which Presidents and their parties who kept most of their campaign promises, and how many. I just watched a special on Channel 2 this evening about the above environmental issues and how the glaciers are melting and it's predicted impact. How dare the White House change a report made by a Scientist and downplay its importance before it is released. We need to look at the track record of all the candidates and see what their word is worth.
Now Z Dogg, you have an hour to shower and dress. Were driving out to Big San Fer to get us some out of this world menudo, at Carrillo's. No need to pack my man, you are my guest, and I will introduce you to the famillia, more than a couple of emeros, some in, some out. Please don't ask too many questions here (-; but we'll shake the bushes and see what the grapevine is saying...We'll also get a chance to chew the fat with the boy's (L.A.P.D.) from Mission Hills Division as they start filling in for their Sunday AM usual...and see what's moving down their pipeline
****************
Can I a come next time you go eat Menudo? I also idolize the mexican mafia prison gang members. I want to meet your "emero" prison gang family members.
But I thought the emeros were blood in- blood out?
Do the emeros always talk to the police?? Why would the police talk to the emeros?
Or am I asking to many question about your mexican mafia family members.
