Maia Lazar Joins the Sister City

Continuing on our time honored tradition of being LA's political free speech zone in the blogosphere, the Sister City is proud to announce a new member of the team.

Maia Lazar is a senior at the University of California at San Diego studying Russian and Soviet studies and history.  Maia was an intern at LA CityBeat at the age of 14 and a frequent contributor to National Review while in high school.  Maia has blogged on and off for five years at her blog Sky Watching My World and is the daughter of the late Cathy Seipp. She's traveled extensively within the Balkans, has a unique perspective on the region and has learned to speak some of the lingua franca.

I'm excited to have Maia join the blog.  She will be writing about whatever strikes her fancy. And that's just fine with me.

Maia Lazar won't last very long on this blog composed of Blogging Burros. Maia's current blog has a more serious and "high-class" tone than this Joe Six-Pac blog.

Higby has veered off course and is more concerned with web-site hits than quality commnets. Haikula the antagonist and attention whore is more suited to this blog, Haikula has no inside knowledge of L.A. politics but loves the attention and junior high bickering which this blog is infamous for.

Higby's fear of Obama has shown him to be like the angry old Joe Six-Pack republicans who are convinced Obama is an arab terrorist and his followers are just like Hitler's minions.

Maia Lazar hold onto your hat it's going to be a rough ride on this blog of fools.

Welcome. Don't let the bozos and racists get to you. Remember, it's never personal. There are lots of people who post here who have issues, and use anger to mask their deficiencies and failures.

Stay true to yourself and don't comprise your principles for sake of hit counts.

Joe Mailander doesn't link to Mayor Sam anymore. You should remove the link to his blog, and prevent him from posting articles here from this point onward.

10:49, no need.

While we usually accomodate other bloggers' requests for reciprocal links, not all blogs we link to return the favor. Nor do we expect it.

If I believe that our readers would be interested in a blog we link to it.

Not too long ago I had a blog owner ask that we not link to their blog because I linked to Obama's blog. Whatever.

Higby is editing comments again. This is a girl who is making her way in the world due to nepotism. If nepotism wasn't a part of it, you wouldn't need to mention her mother.

At least you should be honest about it Higby. You only know about her because of who her mother was.

Now you're editing comments about this because you're trying to insulate her. Well, if she can hack it as you say, then there's no need to tamp down the exchange.

I don't know this girl, but if she got an internship at LA CityBeat through nepotism, then she must have some really crappy relatives.

A college student being considered "too serious and high class" for this blog says it all. And she got her lofty experience thanks to mama, huh?

After you've kicked around in the world for a while, earned your own way and run a business or tried to rise through the ranks by virtue of hard work, been kicked in the butt and survived, I'll look forward to your enlightenment and experience, Maia. Of course, that isn't true of Higby's other lofty colleagues either, like Zooma Dogg (except maybe the getting kicked in the butt part) and you probably can spoll.

Maia, when Higby doesn't get what he wants, you'll be gone before you even know it, because you'll have had enough.

I think I actually know who you are. And if I'm right, you damn sure know who I am. Maybe it's time to go another round.
