Mayor Sam's Hotsheet for Monday
Releasing it late Friday thinking you might not notice (but we can run it first thing Monday morning of course), the City of Los Angeles paid nearly one quarter of a million dollars to for a junket to Israel attended by Mayor Villaraigosa, staffers, Council Members and several local community and business leaders. The Mayor defended the cost of the trip saying that he learned much about airport security in Israel and told the LA Times "I think the taxpayers of Los Angeles can go to bed knowing that the mayor of Los Angeles is doing everything he can to secure our airport and protect . . . the safety of the people of the city."The City Council will soon be voting on a Hollywood condo development near the legendary Capitol Records building. The City Planning Commission has approved the project but Capitol and it's parent, EMI have filed an appeal as construction will temporary halt recording and potentially damage the famous studios at the site where records have been cut by everyone from Nat King Cole to Green Day. The clowns at the City Council really need to re-think this one. This would be like building condos next to The Louvre.
The Daily News opines that the Los Angeles Unified School District has two Superintendents, one the actual Superintendent Admiral David Brewer who they call a figurehead; the other Deputy Superintendent Ray Cortines who actually runs the show. The problem is we're paying big bucks for both.
The City has worked out a deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers to offer shuttle service from Union Station to Dodger Stadium, providing public transit to the ballpark for the first time in several years. The City will pick up the $70,000 price tag for the service which will start after the All-Star break and the Dodgers will cover the costs of marketing. The City is hoping for an average of 1000 riders per home game.
Britney Spears is now an aunt! Marking the latest chapter in a saga of a fabulously wealthy yet still white trash family, the pop diva's 17 year old sister Jaime-Lynn on Thursday gave birth to a daughter - Maddie Briann - in Mississippi. Auntie Brit was on hand but has since returned home to Los Angeles to terrorize the freeways.

What a freakin fraud this Mayor is. Israeli airport security is outstanding because they PROFILE people. Knowing that, do you think Mayor Villar's vacation to Israel will make a dime's worth of difference at LAX? This guy really believes his own bullshit.
This from the "LA ANTONIA TIMES"
Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa will officiate at his first gay marriage ceremony today at Los Angeles City Hall, his office announced.
After the state Supreme Court struck down a ban on same-sex marriage last month, Villaraigosa promised to preside at as many ceremonies as possible. But when the ruling took effect last week and other political officials were presiding over same-sex weddings, Villaraigosa was in Israel on a city trip.
The ceremony will join movie producer Bruce Cohen, whose films include the Academy Award winner "American Beauty," and art consultant Gabriel Catone. The two have been together for five years, the mayor's office said.
Cohen, a friend of Villaraigosa, asked the mayor to perform the afternoon ceremony, a mayoral spokesman said. It will occur in the press conference room of the mayor's office.

Villar has a home collection of his photo ops...totalling 3 gigabytes (the average 2 hour movie takes up less than 1 gigabyte)! Can you even imagine in your wildest dreams just how many millions of photo op shots this amounts to???
Villar has spent 3 years and squandered almost a trillion of our taxpayer dollars on PHOTO OPS! There is not a man, woman, or child on the planet who does not recognize that shit-assed face of his. However, very few human beings have heard him "speak" more than one or two disjointed, fractured, tortured sentences!!!
He gets away with sound bytes..but wait until the national spotlight shines upon him! When he starts to open his mouth for the cameras...EVERYONE will see him for the uneducated, stupid, dumb cholo that he is. He can't hide it much longer. WE know...but soon the whole country will know!
If anyone watched his hour long interview with Charlie Rose last year...it was a DISASTER! He looked like the biggest jerk EVER!
I can hardly wait...it's going to be delicious!
