Roella Louie, creator
Nobody I've checked with remembers that new Cultural Heritage Commish Roella Louie "created the City's % for art expenditures program." We remember that City Council created the program by ordinance, with Joel Wachs sponsoring, and my ol' boss Barbara Goldstein consulting Al Nodal, Wachs's office (including Wachs deputy Greg Nelson) and the City Attorney's office on the language to create the mechanisms for the program.
What we remember about Roella is her administrating the spendy side of the program; generally, she was in charge of grants to arts organizations, and boy did SPARC find favor.

But the Mayor's office says she created it in nominating her to the Cultural Heritage Commission, so I guess that settles it.

J.M.: I suppose one could look up the ordinance on the City website and find just who created what...

Oh my darlin' don't you cry
Guardian angels up above
Take care of the one I love
Pillows lying on your bed
Oh my darling rest your head
Sandman will be coming soon
Singing you a slumber tune
I can sing to another man, because I'm Chuck Norris, and Chuck Norris can do anything.

HIllary should have come out stronger on illegals but Antonio being the supporter he is wouldn't allow it. Maybe she would have received more votes. THIS IS WHY WE NEED TO GET RID OF THE ILLEGALS IN LA.
Contrary to popular belief, Mayor Sam's blog is not a suitable replacement for a family. Get a life, and get a family!!!!
The damnable result is that the Fed effectively controls the U.S. money supply. The Fed is not even a branch of the U.S. government.
And thank God for that. Can you imagine Congress controlling the money supply? And if not Congress, then how about a national bank? A consortium of interests works far better than a single interest.
How did the Fed get away with this outrage? A tiny secretive group of bankers sneaked through a bill in 1913 at a time when many in Congress were absent. Those who were there and voted for the bill didn't realize (as so often happens) what they were voting for (shades of the shameful 2002 vote to hand over to President Bush the power to decide on war with Iraq). After President Wilson signed the Federal Reserve Act into law in 1913, he reportedly said, I am a most unhappy man, I have unwittingly ruined my country a great industrial nation is now controlled by its system of credit the growth of the nation, therefore, and all of our activities are in the hands of a few men. Since its inception in 1913, the Federal Reserve Board has been responsible for almost 95% devaluation of the U.S. Dollar. All this has been achieved through its ability to continually inflate the money supply. And, between 1985 and 2005, the Federal Reserve Board has increased the money supply by five times. This extraordinary money creation is merely the catalyst for debt creation. In a fiat money system, money is debt, there is absolutely no way this money can ever be repaid except by continued inflation. But, now that the credit bubble is blown up, inflation is no longer an option; bankruptcy looms!!!!
When the United States has, in recent years, been threatened with recession or depression (e.g. 1987 and 2001), the Greenspan-led Fed responded to each threat by ever more massive fiat money (debt) creation. The problem is that each time the fiat money supply is inflated by an ever-greater amount, more money must be printed in order to stave off recession or depression. One recent calculation has indicated that approximately $6 must now be created (i.e. printed) in order to drive each additional $1 of GDP.
Such profligate printing merely delays financial disaster, but does not avoid it. Such a disaster could be avoided by linking currency to the Monetary Metals Gold & Silver but The Cartel strenuously resists that. It would dilute their power and profits!!!!
Viva Don Quixote!!!!
What I think Santa Monica Sally is saying is that a major problem with The Fed's profligate fiat money creation is that as the money supply continues to increase prices begin to increase at an increasing rate. That rate is beginning to be reflected even in the jiggered U.S. government's CPI and PPI figures which the December 13 and 14, 2007 data releases showed. Of course, Real Consumer Price Inflation is over 11% annualized.

Viva Don Quixote indeed, someone rubbed Aladdin’s lamp and I’ve been released from my confines. First thing I read here is Santa Monica Sally and Santiago’s beautiful and educational treatise on the Federal Reserve and how our countries riches and commerce are controlled by the accrual method of accounting delivered to us by the nebulous Federal Reserve Banking system. Used to be we depended on our gold reserves in Fort Knox until Nixon’s boys decided paper was worth more than gold.
I read Santiago’s bio and his literary accomplishments are impressive, although I saw no mention of Cervantes or Marx or Bukowski.
Gold, Silver, beautiful, evil, heavy, found on the ocean floor after centuries it still shines, King Midas had the touch but lost his soul, Judas sold out Jesus for the shiny stuff.
“It’s the gold, Howard said, gold is a very devilish sort of thing, believe me, boys. In the first place it changes your character entirely. When you have it your soul is no longer the same as it was before. No getting away from that. You may have so much piled up that you can’t carry it away; but bet your blessed paradise, the more you have, the more you want to add, to make it just that much more. Like sitting at roulette. Just one more turn. So it goes on and on and on. You cease to distinguish between right and wrong. You can no longer see clearly what is good and what is bad. You lose your judgment. That’s what it is.” Gold!
Howard talking to the down and outers in the Oso Negro flophouse, Tampico Mexico.

Anyone reading this know about the CLARTS fund? It's been something I've been hearing about for the past year, but there is elevated bamboozle-chatter on it. How much rolling up of the sleeves is this issue going to require?

Does this idiot expect us to believe these are really different people?
How many personalities does this Don Quixote aka Don Quackers have?
I know of Santiago, Santa Monica Sally and el porto perro's private banker. We can expect to have Hiroshi, Prof Irwin Corey and Big Bettty joining his other "friends" very soon.
Her "other friends" very soon. Anniebonny, thar you blow, eh sappy?
We can expect "Mary Mother Of God" very soon. Though she previously saved it for intimidating stock speculators.
"Anonymouse" is outraged by the possibility that someone uses more than on handle!
He's demanding accountability!
How dare them.
They don't have the huevo's!
Anonymouse aka "mr multiple personalities"
don't think this is fun and games don quixote is a sick person first he will try to win over your trust than he will start bringing up trips or place where you can have a cup of menudo with him, don't fall for it.
i fell for it once i go by the name lil trukos he told me he wanted to show me the old school ways and i ended up with dedos in my culo.
It's true but please let me explain!
We were at Echo Park feeding the ducks and the old senile fool kept asking me to guess his age.
I finally got tired of his persistence and said to him that I could guess his age if he took down his duckshit stained pants and stuck four dedo's (fingers) up his ass.
The old fool did just that and then again asked me how old he was.
I replied "your 87 years old"!
He then asked, "how could you guess my age by me putting four fingers up my ass"?
I replied "you told me yesterday"!
Did the voices in your head lead you on the path of posting this disgusting trash? Take that vast dark mental blight that torments you and add that you're a pig.
