Mayor Sam's Hotsheet for Friday
Another blogger comes to the realiziation about how LA works. While illegal alien gang violence is destroying the City goofy Jan Perry wants to ban fast food. It's an old story but it's still sadly true.If you want to hear Warren Olney getting a TKO on Mayor Villaraigosa, you can listen to the KCRW podcast here. Warren Olney - who can't be demonized as a right wing hate monger like you folks do to Doug McIntryre - called the Mayor on the carpet for being frequently out of town (15 days out of 30) and lack of progress during his term.
The Hollywood Walk of Fame is being rapidly damaged and creating safety issues. The MTA claims it's because of the sun but the sun beat for 40 years on those tiles prior to the construction of the Metro Red Line. Due to shoddy construction repair work has continually had to done on the sidewalk and other areas along the subway in Hollywood. And you people want to give this incompetent agency MORE of your money?
Speaking of the Red Line I can tell you that at least of our local elected officials takes public transit and does it without cameras, reporters, aids and sycophants in tow (unlike someone else we know). Thursday evening I was on my way back from Hollywood and Highland and ran into Los Angeles City Council Member Wendy Greuel (the chairperson of the Transportaton Commitee too) and her son and husband, coming home from the Hollywood Bowl. The Council Member - who recognized me in the station - and I had a nice talk about her transit habits, how her staff addresses Neighborhood Councils and her son's Teenage Ninja Mutant Turtle action figures. The Council Member tries to take transit as often as possible, at least one to two times a week. Kudos to her!
I'll be appearing on John Phillips' Saturday evening radio show on KABC Radio. John airs every Saturday night from 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.; if you haven't heard him yet definitely tune him in. Depending on what time the Dodgers game ends, I'll be either on the internet only or radio and internet. Click here to listen. Later in the evening Phillips will have a tribute to legendary LA Lakers play by play man, Chick Hearn featuring luminaries from both the sports and broadcasting world.

Don't know if McIntyre is a "right wing hate monger," but his latest Daily News column proves he's an idiot.
After enduring that Podcast, one must ask this.
When did we elect Richard Alatorre as Mayor?
Your blogger is Gary Fouse -- whose views are known and he posts here, hardly a revelation.
And everyone knows that the Hollywood Line of the subway was a disaster, collapsed even as it was being built, because the builder didn't build the retaining walls to thickness of code, being too cheap and trying to cut costs to keep the money. Wasn't he connected to Alatorre's friends? Did he ever get prosecuted? Fraud of that level is a public safety issue.
(Of course, look at the Big Dig that went on forever in Boston--)
This is however no reason not to build a subway, which exists safely in every major city but LA, and even anti-tunneler Zev admits that current technology makes it safe. What we need to ensure is closer monitoring so this kind of fraud by a contractor can't happen again.
Yes, that's always a risk with these people, the FelipeFuente/ Alarcon/ Cardenas/ Padilla/ Nunez/ Reyes crowd caught red-handed trying to sneak thru AB212. But it doesn't mean their dealings should kill a decades-overdue subway.
Listen up everyone!
I just happened to catch Assemblyman Tony Mendoza on the O'Reilly radio show a few minutes ago. He was talking about this assine transfat nonsense.
I never heard of the guy before, but he's from NORWALK (clue #1); and talks like a third grade ESL anchor baby (LAUSD drop-out)!
We are in BIG trouble folks...if this guy is sitting in Sacramento, making the big bucks, and legislating this idiocy for our State...WE NEED TO ACT!
These cholos, like Villar, are NOT even able to put two sentences together! They are border-line illiterate...and they are legislating our laws!!!
Mendoza might be a nice guy, I don't know...all I know is that he is DUMB AS DIRT! HE'S CLUELESS!!!
HE'S NOT QUALIFIED TO HOLD THAT OFFICE!
Gerrymandering is the tragic reason we have all of these anchor baby drop-outs play-acting in politics! I can't tell the difference between Villar and people like Mendoza from the illegals who are sneaking over the border in the trunk of a Camaro! They're all alike culturally and mentally!
This city is such an embarrassment! Is anyone paying attention, or have all the best and brightest moved out??? Are there any non-Mexicans living here anymore???? Don't answer that one!
If every non-hispanic moved out of this city for one year, the place would implode and Villar & Co., the illegals, and the illiterates would be forced to go back to Mexico. We could then return and take back our city!
We have TWO choices:
1.) Stop paying taxes;
2.) Move out for a year and wait for the implosion.
Are you kidding?
You HAVE to prove that you are dumb as dirt to be in the Assembly; it is a statutory requirement.
I rode the red line to the Metro board meeting in the same train car as Zev Yaroslavsky several weeks ago.
