Granted, I'm on an old Powerbook with a declassified version of Mozilla, but even so, LA Now isn't even reading right for me: there's about five fugly lines of code beneath every post and the right sidebar is cut in half. And even worse, there's no readable content. Not much to see at LA Now for now.

Much more interesting is this: The Times will drop 100-150 jobs, including 50 in the newsroom. So the former fishwrap of record will go forward with its strategy of shrinking to greatness.

Dana Gioia, NEA Chair, told a fairly packed Municipal Gallery Theater last night that "politics is entertainment for ugly people." He said that America had very few intellectuals who were true public figures. He also said that the culture wars at the NEA are behind us. After about the tenth anecdote about the importance of arts education in the schools, an artist sitting next to me scribbed, "National Endowment for Arts Education." And indeed, it seems like the Endowment is mopping up activities that should be a routine part of education. It may be the way Gioia's achieved Republican cooperation for bigger arts budgets: by subsidizing schools that might otherwise leave children behind.

Soon coming to an emergency ward near you: people who can no longer get into County clinics. Ack. Even so, it's intriguing to learn that the County is handing pharmaceutical companies up to $5,000 a month for the drugs of a single patient.

And throwing caution to the wind, the Daily News reports that Yvonne Burke could endorse Bernard Parks today.

Yet another example of our state going bankrupt, by proving free health-care to so many illegal aliens.

Just visit any county hospital and you will see that the majority of patients are illegal aliens. I have personally know women who came into the country illegally jsut to have a baby at U.S. taxpayers expense.

Our army should invade mexico and take over mexico's oil refineries. We need to collect the money mexican citizens have stolen from U.S taxpayers.

The money wasted on illegal aliens never ends, health-care, schools, gang-programs, jails and welfare for anchor-babies.

Don't you just love love our sanctuary city?

Interesting Antonio wasn't at the press conf. where Zev announced that USC isn't going anywhere. Bitter Bernie and the other coliseum commissioners were there with all the cameras but no cholo Mayor. Gee, I wonder if they forgot to invite him?

Well that's a typical "open borders" response to what has become a frightening dilemna. No one has mentioned color of said huddled masses, only that they represent a burden that has strained our system to rupture. Granted Mexico is a corrupt narco-state, but is that my problem, or your's? I don't think so. If anything it's the problem of those Mexican americans separated by a generation or two from these illegals. Maybe they should step up instead of hollering for more lenient immigration laws. Maybe they should defend the "poor hard working immigrants", give them shelter, and feed them, house their kids, provide their health care.. But no, instead they're busy milking the system for all they can before it collapses. Our mayor is an enabler. The city clowncil are enablers. the whole f***ing LA Basin is on the verge of bankruptcy, and there probably is no solution except natural selection..

I think the mexicans will be happy when Los Angeles is just like mexico with drug cartels running the city. Here is a "poor mexican" success story, Grocery King George Torres, he is/was a large land owner in Los Angeles, an also a drug cartel associate.

Welcome to the new Los Angeles, soon to be owned and operated by mexican drug cartels.
