It's too bad Jim Murray and Bud Furillo and Jim Healy and Stu Nahan aren't around to eulogize Georgia Frontiere.

LAXpansion---This won't please the folks in Westchester: Fee for peak-hour landings at LAX proposed. Councilman Bill Rosendahl's tentatively for it.
"The plan would allow flights to be spaced out more evenly, while the funds generated from increased landing fees could be used for runway and airport improvements, according to U.S. Transportation Secretary Mary Peters, who announced support earlier this week for a similar proposal in New York City." Folks in Westchester are largely distressed by the prospects of more LAX expansion.

Livable Places is revving up for the next affordable housing tax measure, with a program in slated on Ardmore for January 30. Spanish translation services will be provided.
Here's the way Livable Places spins Measure H's 2006 loss:
In November 2006, LA residents sent a clear message that they want our Mayor and Council Members to address the city’s housing crisis. In 13 out of 15 council districts, strong majorities voted for new housing bonds, propositions 1C and H. Reliable and practical ways to increase housing choices do exist.In November 2006, LA residents sent a clear message that they want our Mayor and Council Members to address the city’s housing crisis.

"Sent a clear message"---in fact, and as usual, LA residents had no idea what they were voting for, baffled by a bad faith ballot measure. But even so, you would think from that that the measure won. It lost. You would also think that the City would be interested to call a new tax a "tax", rather than a "bond" on the ballot, but that didn't happen either, and it likely won't happen the next time.
The CRA's Joan Ling, whom I recently featured in this Mimosa, when some rare moments of debate in Council broke out regarding her, and former Councilman Michael Woo, whom voters sent a clear message that they didn't want as Mayor in 1993, are both on the Board.

VOTE NO ON PROPOSITION S.
Hey JM also at Madame Rams eulogy I would like to hear from, in no particular order,
Carroll Rosenbloom, and the frogman on the Miami beach who assisted in Rosenblooms swimming lessons. His son and one time general manager "Mike? Rosenbloom" who was ousted in a coup shortly after his Dad departed.
Dominic Frontieri, and his guys that scalped the Super Bowl tickets.
And the quarterbacks from the Rams that Madame Ram felt so motherly towards.
Joe Willy Namath
Bert Jones
Vince Ferragamo
any missing?
And the famous Rams love triangle
Roman Gabriel+Jim (Gomer Pyle)Nabors+Rock Hudson.
One thing about Madame Ram though,
she must have had some powerful stuff!
Just read an interestng headline on MSNBC. It seems that a major restaurant chain in Beijing is going bankrupt because it was the first restaurant to ban smoking!
My travel agent told me that the Chinese, the worlds largest population of smokers...over 500M smokers...is sidestepping L.A. and outlying areas because of the smoking bans!
Put that in your pipes and smokle it...all you morons in City Hall and Sac.!
It balances out 12:13. We also get tourists that want the smoking ban or come from places with similar laws. It's irrelevant to me. Second hand smoke kills. The Chinese don't know that but the French do.
Jim Healy fans: "Did the Japanese sit down and have dinner with Pearl Harbor before they bombed her?" That one was my favorite. I can't remember which football player said it, tho ...

valley doll, 12:39:
Jerome Brown, who also famously said:
"We didn't come here to act monkey for everybody."
I remember when Georgia first announced her upcoming marriage to Domenick. Jim Healy said that he would give free tickets to that weekend's Ram game to the first person who could name Georgia Frontiere's other 6 husbands besides Domenick and Carroll Rosenbloom.
Westchester is next for the chop, right after Wilmington and San Pedro. Who cares what happens to all those plebes, as long as the campaign money keeps rolling in.
Valley Doll, Jim Healy was a one of a kind original. But I think ? it was a football coach who said,
"Did the Japanese sit down and have dinner with Pearl Harbor before they bombed her?"
but maybe I'm wrong, it was one of Healy's funny great sound bites along with the ex heavy weight champ "Leon Spinks expaining how while he was coming out of the motel room to get another roll of quarters for the vibrating bed he was sharing with a hooker, he was rolled and robbed of his mink coat and gold false teeth.
Funny stuff!
>>"The plan would allow flights to be spaced out more evenly, while the funds generated from increased landing fees could be used for runway and airport improvements,
The key word is spaced "OUT" more evenly. The article also says that that the landing fees could be more evenly applied to other LAWA airports such as LAX/Ontario.
I think most Westchester residents would like this.
Like it makes any difference whether someone lost an election for Mayor 11 years ago but is now an appointee to a city board. One doesn't relate to the other.

Someone beat me to the Jim Healy wisecrack. Certainly he would have asked Tommy Lasorda for his opinion of her performance.
Northeast LA and LA residents are invited to have some fun mocking the Mayor and his broken promises at the occasional Doo-Dah Parade on Sunday, January 20, 2008. The parade entry from former NELA friends, neighbors and supporters of the Mayor will involve a "costume" to convert all dancers into a buxom curvy chorus line. Other marchers will play the role of City Hall lobbyists with lots of money to toss in the air. A clever little ditty about the Mayor's tendencies toward "Photo Ops and Broken Promises" has been recorded. Others are encouraged to come and join our Northeast LA Doo Dah Parade entry with their own costume or sign that lists or depicts other broken promises of the Mayor.
Come get yourself and friends onto TV in a spirited kick line of "Photo Ops and Broken Promises"! You will be part of a You Tube film about our Photo Ops and Broken Promises Mayor from the Northeast Los Angeles.
Entrance fee to the Doo Dah Parade is $ l0.00 per person.
Parade starts at ll.30 a. m.
Participants will meet at 10:00 a. m. at the Memorial Park in Old Pasadena (look for 85 E. Holy Street) The park located on Raymond Avenue, between Walnut and Holly Streets ( 2 blocks north of Colorado Blvd) The Metro Gold Line is in this very park (Memorial Park Station). Look for a green Flag (S. W. Museum) in the parade line up.
This parade entry is organized under the auspices of the Doo-Dah Silliness Division of the Friends of the Southwest Museum Coalition -- a normally studious group! See you there!
8:36 = a scary cyber-stalker woman.

OH MY FREAKIN' LORD ...
I need a transcript of that ... STAT! That tirade is CLASSIC Lasorda and, like, one of my top ten FAVORITE THINGS IN LIFE. Seriously.
I know after Mr. Healy passed away, his family put together a "Best Of" cassette with ALL the best bites. I bought a bunch of 'em, but God help me, I don't know where the hell they are.
Someone has to have that tape, or transcript of Lasorda's rant somewhere. C'mon, help a sistah out!

THE BEVACQUA TAPE
ACCORDING TO JIM HEALY'S INTRO IT ALL BEGAN WHEN DODGER'S
PITCHER TOM NIEDENFUER WAS FINED $500 FOR HITTING A SAN DIEGO
BATTER. OUTFIELDER KURT BEVACQUA TOLD THE PRESS:
"They ought to fine that fat little Italian, too. He ordered it."
SOON LASORDA WAS ASKED HIS OPINION OF BEVACQUA'S COMMENT
(never a good way to phrase a question to Lasorda). HE TALKED FOR
ABOUT A MINUTE, SLOWLY DENYING ANY INVOLVEMENT, THEN
OR EVER, WITH BEANING ANYBODY. BUT ESPECIALLY, TOMMY SAYS
AS HE GETS WARMED UP, SOMEBODY LIKE...
(The rest is history)
LASORDA'S RESPONSE,
"phucking Bevacqua, who couldn't hit water if he fell off a phucking boat."
"And I guaran-phucking-tee you this, when I pitched and I was gonna to pitch
against a phucking team that had guys on it like Bevacqua, I'd send a phucking
limousine to get the cocksucker to make sure he was in the motherphucking
line up because I'd kick that cocksucker's ass any phucking day of the week.
He's a phucking motherphucking bigmouth, I'll tell you that."

Isn't it shocking that we live in the nation's 2nd largest city and don't have an NFL team? How bad can our politicans be not to be able to have gotten us a team by now? Maybe if Bitter Bernie and Antonio had the brains they could have convinenced the NFL to come and the revenue alone would have helped the city.
That's what we need alright. More Section 8 with gangs and drugs. More single families with 10 kids. I don't think we should reward bad behavior.
This is who we want as our neighbors right?
Let these affordable housing spots to go single people in rooming houses.
No on prop 93. No more time for idiots.
