Mmmmmmm....beer.

Wait a New York minute: unctuous sanctimonious Energizer Bunny Eliot Spitzer, busted---it's a dream come true. But even on top of the alleged rentals: how can you drag your wife to your act of contrition?
Everyone's been giving Gail Longneck Goldberg such a hard time, and now a Times copy ed says, "Condos are lifeblood of Wilshire Boulevard's Rebirth." But read the article and you get a sense that the lifeblood is not of the City, but from out of town, even out of country. The poor people who actually live in mid-Wilshire don't get to move into these; nor do they get better jobs than the counter of Jamba Juice out of their being built in the neighborhood.
Wait, there's yet another planning-as-fiasco story, even further down the page...it's ZeeMan, on the email that went out from the prez of the Planning Commission to prospects who might be able to sue to stop the too-tall condo madness. That's Antonio's appointment, acting against Antonio's wishes and Council's recent vote.
How far down do you have to scroll to get news, anyway? All the way to the DN, often. Sunday was another day, another gang murder, this one in Northridge. A homicide in Hollywood, too. But the bottlecap blogs at the former fishwrap of record continue to put a happy face on almost everything. They're virtually content-free in fact, sugar-coating everything. Do you think Stanton is noticing? Do you think readers are noticing that their real news is buried so far deep under the fluffy bunny-slippers up top? Does anything real in the City matter at this paper at all? Tick tick tick---is it time for a new editor yet?

Apparently the Mayor's appointees aren't all little robots that he programs to say and do only what he wants.

Joe be careful, if you bring to much attention to the gang violence in Los Angeles you might be accused of being a xenophobe, mexican hater and etc. And don't ever mention that the great majority of gangs in L.A. county are latino. See no evil, here no evil, speak no evil, like the quite monkey you're supposed to be.
NORTHRIDGE - A 16-year-old former Taft High School student was shot to death Sunday after a fight broke out at a birthday party gang members might have crashed, authorities said. Nobody at the party seemed to know the shooter, even though there were about 150 people there. No description was given, besides "Latino male."
Great pic Joe!
I like hop and barley girls but I'll pass on this one. Thanks.
Mr. Mayor, I must admit she is not pretty - factually speaking, Gail 'Longneck' Goldberg's face looks like a busted sofa. I would not want to be greeted by that, at 7:00 AM. Especially preceded by a "Good morning, honey."
"Busted sofa..."? Tony, her face would either stop a clock, cause a freight train to jump the tracks, or both!
Gail's drink is gaseous and mean
You must keep her in close quarantine
Or she sneaks out with chums
And promptly becomes
Disorderly, drunk and obscene.
JAne will eventually rule the world, that is, in her own self absorded mind, like that of similar frustrated lawyers.
