Sunday Morning Mimosa
Happy new year, baby!
To be a Writer you have to be a good reader, so it may take a while for the Writers to read the deal points and formally end the strike, even though the NYTimes reported a "tentative deal" last night. It won't be over until Nikki Finke says it's over anyway, so check her for any updates. You have to give her extra points for calling Joel Stein an "unreadable humor columnist."
In the Downtown News, Anna Scott chronicles all the baseline-level affordable housing projects in the downtown containment zone. They pencil out at between $190,000 a unit and $290,000 a unit. I'm sure I don't have to tell you that $190,000 pays a $633 rent for twenty-five people for ten years (much more if you let it garner interest through that time), thereby servicing twenty-five times the people that will be served by this housing. But urban planners call the baseline-level developers "progressive"---because they turn the housing into a lottery and with their tony architects drive rents around the shiny new projects a little higher.
Steve Lopez says on the surface it's Hillary's experience, but suggests it's also the fact that she ain't black, that curried such favor for her in the Spanish speaking Latino community. But the copy ed waffles in the headline.
The Daily News had the best reporting of the felled SWAT officer, and now they examine the way police departments from LA and the City of San Fernando are sharing resources and personnel. The cops on the periphery are teaming with LAPD gang unit officers from Foothill and Mission.
DWP raises rates. Don't we do that story every six months or so? "I think of this as an exercise in building trust with the people of Los Angeles, and with the City Council and with neighborhood councils," H. David Nahai said. Even as they're draining Silver Lake Reservoir for concern over a prospective carcinogen they discovered mid-summer. And who's asked this: If they discovered the elevated level in June, why didn't they start draining in June? Why didn't we stop drinking the stuff the day it was first discovered? Why did we have to wait four months before being told about it?
While you're clicking around town, you might like to read my review of Christoph Eschenbach conducting Mahler's Sixth at the WDCH, posted at LA Opus. I saw the Friday night performance, which was very good; and I'll bet the Saturday and today's performances are even better. Also, for those of you ready for those coming Gentlemen's Club ads in the Times, as well as you those partial to theatre, my review of Marat Sade at Knightsbridge Theatre in Silver Lake is there too.

Top o the mornin' to yeh JM,
Orange: This color of luxury and pleasure appeals to the flamboyant and fun-loving person who likes a lively social round. Orange people may be inclined to dramatize a bit, and people notice them, but they are generally good-natured and popular. They can be a little fickle and vacillating, but on the whole they try hard to be agreeable. Orange is the color of youth, strength, fearlessness, curiosity and restlessness. Hmmm.

The Steve Lopez article which alludes to racism and hate of blacks by Latinos is nothing new.
Just read the other news story you posted.
http://www.dailynews.com/breakingnews/ci_8219746
"county and federal teams will be on call to respond to the 468-square-mile territory SWAT normally protects. While these temporary pledges to cover one another are fairly commonplace, the San Fernando Police Department - which also sent officers to Monrovia police to cover a recent flare-up of shootings - and the LAPD are working to deepen their relationship on a level not tried since the 1980s"
Gang cops from other cities are going to Monrovia to help the Monrovia police because of the recent racially motivated killings by Latino street gangs. There was recently, a large federal RICO indictment of the Florencia-13 Latino street gang for specifically targeting and murdering blacks in the Florence area of L.A. This was done under the orders of the Mexican-Mafia prison gang.
The Mexicans even have a cartoon character which has a vile and deplorable depiction of a black person with very big lips, his name is Memin Pinguin. Remember the president of Mexico and the NAACP and Rev. Jesse Jackson getting into a debate over the Memin Pinguin stamp?
http://www.meminpinguin.org/clientes/meminpinguin.org/
Many Mexicans use the word “Mayate” when describing blacks, which is the Mexican version of the “N” word. The difference being that the Mexicans are not offended or will not stop using the word.
So maybe Steve Lopez will not say it directly, but the actions of Mexicans here and in Mexico speak for themselves. If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck ...............................
Orange is the color of nature.
Orange people are nature lovers. They love to do anything having to do with the out of doors.
Trees and animals mean a lot to them. They want to be a part of nature and are, just by the very fact that they are alive.
Good professions for orange personalities include farmers, ranchers, football players, and guides.
Although they may sometimes invoke anger from others, it usually doesn't last very long. Who can remain mad at someone so helpful?
They are good lovers and can be kinky where sex is concerned. Orange personalities do not consider themselves kinky, just willing to try what their partner may like.
Tending to take up for the underdog, they will put themselves out to help someone who they feel needs assistance.
Orange personalities are loud. They talk a lot and know enough to be dangerous about most subjects.
In most cases they are the nicest people you have ever met but don't dare try to push one. If you do you will be sorry. Feeling as if you have a tiger by the tail, you are not sure whether to drop the tail or continue running in circles trying to stay away from it's teeth.
Always aware of their surrounding, they tend to be more adventurous than most.
Even though they are impulsive and thoughtful, they generally are very much aware of what they are doing.
Learning and remembering through experience is a strong suit of theirs.
Since when does Steve Lopez get into writing about politics? He spins better then Billary campaigners. After reading his column you know how ignornant the Latinos who voted for Hillary really are. Comments like "I liked Bill Clinton that's why I voted for her." She has experience. The only experience Hillary has is that of a stupid woman who didn't have the guts to leave a lying cheating husband. She has no respect or dignity for herself. She also supported her husband who pardoned a major coke dealer Vignali who now is the largest land owner in downtown LA thanks to Antonio. She refuses to admit she knew Peter Paul who hosted a fundraiser for her with Hollywood's elite because it was later found he had a felony conviction. Yup, this is the type of woman we need in the White House NOT!!!!!!!
From L.A. weekly archives, don't expect many mexicans to support a black man for president any time soon. Racism is alive and well among many mexicans.
"They Wanted All Blacks Out"'
http://www.laweekly.com/news/news/they-wanted-all-blacks-out/14109/
"In addition to de la Cruz and Diaz’s testimonies, the 12 jurors heard from black residents of Highland Park who said that they had been harassed, attacked and subjected to racial slurs by the Aves 43. These allegations, which occurred between 1995 and 2001, included the attempted murder of a homeless man, racial slurs directed at a girl in a supermarket and a black police officer, and the drawing of chalk outlines of human bodies in the driveway of a black resident’s home. Other black residents were repeatedly told to move out of the Highland Park neighborhood and called racial slurs like “nigger” and “mayate.”
Speaking of Orange, Orange you glad the cholo-apologist, blame the republicans for everything, closet racist has not commented yet!!!!
Here's a nice riddle for everyone;
There once was a sheep named AV.
He told the flock to "...dream with me"
The city fell asleep.
Now they'll be fleeced.
'Cause they voted in a wolf dressed as a sheep.
