Obama's lead of 88 delegates is safer than it looks. Once Hillary is done throwing everything at him, GOP will have nothing left to throw. And if you think Obama's base is fired up now, wait 'til the Obama campaign starts tapping all the indignity Hillary is hurling their way. So you Obama supporters should chill. You had a big night too, especially as America got to see again how grating and graceless Hillary can be.
Back in our own Pueblo, Chick calls for the worst possible thing in the hazing case: she agrees with the verdict and she seeks to prolong the matter anyway. Delgadillo now owns up to bringing in the large Labor and Employment law firm Jackson Lewis as Counsel for the City, and they will bill out at $300,000 to lose $3 million more in judgment.
Jackson Lewis is more of a corporate than civic firm, however, and better known for preventive counsel than for staving off deep pocket attacks. The City would likely have done a far better job defending itself; after all, the way things are, it is obliged to defend itself nearly every day.
There is a lot of local news in the Daily News today. Consider:
- Cavenaugh: Wronged tenants are due millions. Rocky releases some good news against slumlords to offset the bad.
- Orlov: Sylmar, Atwater facing EMT cuts. What happened to the Prop S money that the Fire Department was made to shill for? Try not to have a heart attack in Sylmar or Atwater. Somewhat ironic in both cases, as we know that lots can go wrong along the Metrolink tracks in Atwater.
- Doyle: Valley may lose a dozen bus lines. And the basin eight more. This at a time of $100/bbl oil.

If you look at the state level, it's even scarier: that talk of getting rid of "tax loopholes" includes making noises about cutting the deduction for mortgage interest, which is what makes it possible for the middle class to own at all. At a time when many are barely able to pay their mortgages anywyay. If the city and state could make it more unfriendly to stay here, they'll think of that, too.
Some say there are noises about getting rid of Prop 13, which the jealous non-propertied classes want, claiming we need that money to educate and provide healthcare for the masses. The same illegals who are forcing the state to crash.
speaking of hatred of the propertied classes who've made it possible for the poor to get all the services they have gotten so far -- the L A Weekly article on Density Bonuses has attracted almost 40 comments, more than I've ever seen, and it's split among those who decry it (Joe, you've written against it) and those who come right out and say "There are more of us now -- the singles and those who have no property or investment in the status quo -- that of you A-holes, so if you don't like it, move to Indiana."
Lots of naive people who think we're behind in not looking like New York or Rio, when the fact that we have suburban pockets in the midst of urban growth is what's made L A a magnet and viable despite all the Hispanic immigration. All of them the kinds who can't provide the taxes that the leftist pols are relying on, so it means the other extreme of luxury buildings and condos.
Then the angry, cynical realists, who say that since the city is a Third-world hell already, anyone in their right minds should sell and move to a place where for the same taxes they get good schools and public services and are valued, that is, places without a huge underclass.
What's striking is the total divide and vitriol between the two sides.
Joe you missed all of the other gang shootings in Los Angeles.
When will the local politicans start looking at the effect of having no immigration enforcemnt in Los Angeles.
There is a law enforcement gang summit right now at the Universal Hilton, to discuss trans-national gangs, gang members come and go from the U.S. to Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras.

Gunman who killed father-son still at large. A gunman who shot and killed a father and son in South Los Angeles over the weekend remained at large today, authorities said.
What's striking is the total divide and vitriol between the two sides.

What's also striking is when a person attempts to sound like an intellectual, by using a word such as “vitriol” in so comments. It’s a shame the rest of what you wrote makes no sense. lol
1:00: "makes no sense?"
You're so stupid it's impossible to even guess what you're trying to attack.
Yeah..well, you're so stupid you try to drown fish.
I realli hatee awl thi "vitriol" on this blogg by soo mmeny peoples who kan't espell and try to seems like and inntillectuel brian.
Thier is to mush bad engrish on thes blogg.
^^^^^^^^
"your so stupid you try to drown fish"?
you get the medal for the most lame attempt at humor this week.
what a stink bomb!
I wasn't trying. I was poking fun at the "you're so stupid" thread that was threatening to start because so many people resort to name-calling when they don't know what else to say.
I'm not a comedian and never claimed to be and I wasn't trying hard.
So take that, you name-caller.
By the way, I wouldn't ever use the word "your" when it's supposed to be "you're".
Just for the record..
5:08: People aptly call someone stupid when the person is so stupid that he's literally inarticulate and impossible to decipher. Stupid is a perfectly legitimate word used at the appropriate times, like to respond to your moronic and pathetic "response."
(I can only try to GUESS that beneath this stupidity lurks one of those bitterly jealous people who wrote to the Weekly telling people of property, with a stake in the city, to move to Indiana because your impoverished kind of migrant who can't afford a house or car, is the "future" of L A, the "greening" of the city by taking away any green space from homeowners...
The kind of loser Morris, in his reply to the dumb commenters, calls "phony progressives" who try to couch their class hatreds and destructive "social policies" behind these P C catch phrases.
Yes, this is a surprisingly balanced article for the usually wacko "progressive" L A Weekly, and it caught a lot of wackos like yourself off-guard. Kudos to Jill Stewart for having the guts to run it, and Morris for writing it.)
Moronic and pathetic are perfectly appropriate words at the appropriate times, too, by the way.
And yes, your witty retort about trying to drown fish falls into the moronic and pathetic category. It's beyond just stupid.
Wasn't switching to moderated comments supposed to clear up this crap? The goofy characters are out of the house again, Mayor. Start deleting.
Is that law firm Jackson Lewis one of the firms Housing Authority has spent millions on going after ex-employees and keeps loosing?
1:00/2:45 (etc.), 8:38, ALL someone who works for one of the Hispanics whose careers are founded on denying and demonizing those awful "anglos" who speak the truth.
What scares him is, that when their arguments are made as cogently as here, and by Morris in a liberal rag like the Weekly, the truth can't be written off as right-wing propaganda or fear-mongering: NOT to agree, or to agree with the lame attackers, like himself (that fish thing really is pitiful, bro) is a sign of a very weak mind -- can't Alarcon/Huizar/Reyes/Cardenas afford better?
Oh for fuck's sake, you guys are all stupid.
I googled, "you're so stupid" and the first line that came up. I posted that "witty retort" because I could see that this was going to turn into one of those threads.
I didn't even read the LA Weekly story on density bonuses yet.
I knew I should have used one of the redneck jokes instead.
Damn you're all pompous bores. I feel bad that you all think you're so brilliant.
