Mayor Sam's Hotsheet for Tuesday
Mayor Villaraigosa will deliver his "State of the City" speech at a time most folks won't watch, 3:30 p.m. Tuesday. Theme of the address? Instead of "Dream with Me" it will now be "Sacrifice with Me."
Zuma Dogg, in his public comment addresses to the City Council, has been sounding a warning about the potential of a significant water shortage in Los Angeles, aggravated by over development and seemingly ignored by the Mayor and City Council. The Dogg had a one on one conversation with DWP General Manager H. David Nahai who told Zuma that those who do not waste water will not see raises in their rates. In calling for a new awareness on water conservation Zuma declares "that wasting water will have to be almost as socially unacceptable as wearing fur, or not using Facebook."
City Attorney candidate Jack Weiss has some trouble on his hands. The La Brea Willoughby Coalition has filed a Public Records Act request with Weiss’ office after learning that he has missed over one third of all Council meetings and 1,500 votes. The document requests immediate access to inspect Weiss’ calendar, correspondences and all other documents that may explain his whereabouts during those important votes.
More trouble for Jack Weiss. An Asian American advocacy organization has endorsed Weiss' opponent, Carmen Trutanich. The Asian American Action Fund credits their support to Trutanich's promises for electoral reform such as instant runoff voting and ending gerrymandering that has diluted Asian American voting strength in Los Angeles in recent years.
Debbie Lopez and the always organized web 2.0 parents of Beckford Elementary School in the San Fernando Valley are making effective use of the internet to organize themselves for effective advocacy for their children and school and fighting the shady LAUSD. Lopez Twittered the play by play from a town hall meeting in Northridge featuring controversial School Board Member Tamar Galatzan. Among the gems, "Teacher from Darby talking; crying now," and "Kelly Mattinson just gave Tamar Galatzan what for. Girlfriend is on fire."
Over at WitnessLA a report on what LAUSD Superintendent Ray Cortines wants to do to teens who engage in "sexting" that is sending porno pictures of themselves via cell phone. Cortines wants to arrest them. While the prospect of young people participating in this type of behaivor is disturbing Cortines' response is typical of the heavy handed zero-tolerance approach to issues school administrators are apparently now incapable of using good judgment to handle. The right step here is to first work with the parents before turning over the kids to the LAPD.
Westside White Guy and other nanny-poos up in arms over another LA Times advetorial stunt, this time for a Paramount Pictures film. I have two better questions, one from Eric Longabardi who asks what WWG will do when there is no more OLD GRAY HAG ON SPRING STREET; the other is shouldn't we be more up in arms about Roderick's Pulitzer Prize claims.

Higby, does Zuma Dogg have any impulse control at all?
Can you please ask zuma dogg to stop posting those citizen alerts of his on posts that have nothing to do with water?
He posted that darn water alert on the jack weiss story and that's like his behaving like a two year old because he thinks we will never find out about things unless he disrupts the conversation with his unimportant views that are just parroting things elsewhere.
If he is compelled to post, let him do it on the hot sheet. But please ask him to stop posting it everywhere else.
This is just his childish way of getting attention, but it disrupts the flow of your blog.
Besides, doesn't he have his own blog? If you want him to contribute here, why don't you justlet him be a contributor instead of a commentor? If Phil can do it, why not Zuma dog? Why not everyone? Why not the lord above?
Or you can restore some reasonable limits here. It is very frustrating to see zuma dog playing chicken little at every turn. Just let him contribute here or ask him to stop disrupting things. Or do you feel he's not got the impulse control to do it right?
Is there EVER going to be ANY economic circumstance in which one of ZD's activist friends will EVER admit there is a reason to scale back or reduce ONE SINGLE THING in the city.
Is there ONE part time arts and crafts instructor that can be forced to work in two classrooms, instead of just one?
Is there ONE drip of water that you can admit needs to be saved without a list of excuses on how water conservation shouldn't apply to you?
IS THERE ONE THING THAT ANYONE CAN ADMIT CAN BE CUT BACK IN THIS ECONOMIC DOOMSDAY SCENARIO???
I have never seen and heard so much boo-hoo-hoo crybabisim among the people on ZD's side of the rope.
Is there an NC member or community member who can list ONE THING that can be scaled back, without listing the reasons why you cannot live without ONE less lollipop in your life?
Is there any circumstance where you are willing to admit you can live with one less drip of water instead of complaining how it should not apply to you?
Is there ONE thing that the schools can cut back on WITHOUT it hurting kids? (Parents let their kids use myspace/facebook/twitter and games all day long, but THAT'S NOT worth discussing.)
I'm listening. Please do not contact me with reasons why YOU MUST HAVE EVERYTHING YOU HAVE ALWAYS HAD IF NOT MORE: The only thing I want to see from people are innovative ideas.
YOU PEOPLE SICKEN ME WITH YOUR BLIND NIMBY SELFISHNESS.
And remember, if ANYONE in the city, is forced to cut back on ONE SINGLE thing...IT WILL HURT KIDS!!!
6:58- at least ZD posts under his own name. How many of the "anonymous" postings are from the same person and how many are from someone's staff or campaign crew?
Those are the ones that work on any number of assorted examples of viewpoint manipulation or side-tracking from a thread on the blog.
I think it's more a case of not tolerating the messenger more than the message for some of ZD's critics, and fault is going to be found, no matter how it's presented, just because it's ZD.
an opinion, in cd-14.
Yes, yes 658!
Zuma Dogg I think 658 makes a point because if you SCREAM about EVERY issue people won't LISTEN when you SCREAM about the IMPORTANT things.
When you put your personal volume at 10, even on issues that merit a volume of 3, it makes people look elsewhere.
You blow your already stretched credibility when you SCREAM AT THE TOP OF YOUR LUNGS. LEAVE ERIK GARCETTI ALONE. STOP SCREAMING AT CITY COUNCIL. STOP STALKING PEOPLE. AND MOST OF ALL STOP WITH YOUR SHAMELESS SELF PROMOTION AT EVERY MINUTE OF THE DAY!
If you become more self-reliant and stop begging for money and threatening people that you'll go away, maybe someone out there will give you a job at kinko's where you'll still have internet access, for free, make a living, get healthcare, and earn some respect.
Maybe Michael Higby can give you a few dollars a day for writing genuine articles for his blog. Lord knows he's making a pretty buck on the sweat of your brow, bro.
927=idiot.
Zuma Dogg is not his real name, goofball. I don't know if I wrote your time post so I'm reposting this because you are a total dope if you think Zuma Dogg is his real name.
Mayor sam why do you always harp on that guy's pulitzer?
If you earned one, no matter how you earned it, you'd be putting that on the top of your stupid blog.
Right? Or would you hide it because someone thought you didn't earn it?
The answer is obvious, but not as obvious of your petty jealousy.
He does because Roderick didn't win a Pulitzer. Ask Mack Reed or Joseph Mailander.
You can even ask Marc Cooper he knows about this stuff.
9:47- Very intelligent reply. EVERYONE reading this blog or ZD's blog for any time knows it's not his REAL name. And if all you wanted to do was point that out and use an opportunity to name-call, then who's the idiot?
But I don't resort to name-calling since there are so many others ready to post with that style and there's a better level to operate from than jr. high when making posts here.
The point that I intended to show was that "anonymous" postings can be the same person, totally different persons, or anything in between. Taking that into account, you can weigh the substance of the comments. And it's not unusual to see only negativity and no solutions posed or even suggested, other than using the opportunity to snipe.
If one does not want to be identified, you can at least reference your time or label. So Zuma Dogg can pick any name but you know where the post is coming from. And don't forget how much of that personal attack style is directed to posts with "named" authors.
Even here, you can't tell which are by the same author, other than when self-noted, so the comments can come from one or many for most of a thread, that's all.
Still in cd-14
And
6:58am,
Boo hoo hoo. You must be kidding if you are affected by the issue you so cogently have articulated.
But you are about to have MUCH bigger things to be spinning about, as you are already well aware of. And it's Kramer with a "K" right? And how much to you want to be Garcetti sits back and keeps his arrogant, pompous mouth shut when Zuma Dogg is talking, unless there is an actual violation. In other words, his discretion got shut off today. HOW MUCH YOU WANNA BET. So it's gonna be nothing but grins, smiles, pleasantries and good will inside council chambers now. The way we BOTH like it.
And in related news, hey Mr. Inferior-spin at 6:58am, I'll just post it all on my new blog, http://villaraigosa.blogspot.com.
I'm starting with a nice piece on mayoral chief of staff robin kramer and it will all be related to how garcetti is a no-stand up coward who violates the first amendment on a daily basis in the name of his ethic violating ass. (He blamed his mommy though, so it wasn't his fault. Just like he blamed the mayor on HIS council's lack of preparedness before David Nahai, last week. (Garcetti was wrong it wasn't the mayor's fault that council didn't take action. It did not require action from the mayor. Council could have passed it on their own, independently of the mayor. But Eric blamed the mayor, only to be corrected by the city attorney. And Eric violates Zuma Dogg's first amendment rights, and HE is about to be corrected again.
But I gotta go and blog that piece on the Villar's Cheif of Staff.
Let's face it kiddies, we all know that Villar runs around like Mickey Mouse taking pictures all day, and campaigning for whatever election is coming up (now Governor), SO ROBIN IS REALLY RUNNING THE SHOW. So if the city is in tanksville, WELL??? Hey Eli, I think NOW is a good time to pull her out of there and take her back. She didn't sign up for THIS agrevation, and we need someone who can actually turn this thing around.
Hey 6:58...what else you gotta say?
947. the point is all posts are accounted to the same identifiable person "zuma dogg" and everyone knows who he is and where he can be found and he posts his phone number and email for anyone to contact him. and his legal name is associated and linked on the internet in any google search. so you just demonstrated some pretty weak spin, loser.
Seinfeld "Neuman!" Voice: COPPER!
Oh man, if there is one person more psycotic than Zuma Dogg without his medication, it's Marc Cooper anytime, anywhere. It brings me great pleasure to know that he is so affected by LA's "public access icon" who has far surpassed anything he has ever done in this city. Is he even working anymore? (And no, blogging doesn't count.) Hi Marc!
Check out MAILANDER's blog....
he says ZUMA is full of it...
no water shortage
www.andreiforarizona.com
Anyone else remember this hack?
So desperate to run he moved to Arizona because he couldn't make it in LA politics
New post about Villaraigosa's Chief of Staff at http://Villarigosa.Blogspot.com. A new blog I was inspired to launch today thanks to the small "d" douchebag, Eric Garshitty.
Zuma Beeyotch said: "But you are about to have MUCH bigger things to be spinning about, as you are already well aware of."
=================
Zuma Beeyotch the empty threats are getting old. For two years you have been claiming the Feds are coming for Garcetti and the Mayor. Put up or sheddup
The point is that ZD has been trying to make a career of hiding behind his glasses and beanie, and then some ANONYMOUS idiot complains that others are writing ANONYMOUSLY!
I am tired of ZD threatening to leave if we don't feed him. If you want to stay, beeyotch, then STAY and DO YOUR THANG!
But stop trying to hold us hostage that you're going to quit if we don't respond to YOUR EXTORTION!
Somebody get ZD a job at Kinko's so he can get insurance and breakfast and some stability. Give him a night shift so he can come to City council and treat the most excellent and devoted president of city council erik g. with the respect he deserves!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
1:35pm,
You have it slightly twisted. No one owes me anything. It's nice when people help with a donation so I can go downtown. like last night, at 11pm I was flat broke and CERTAIN i couldn't make it even if i wanted to. But someone gave me $20 bucks cause they like when i attend and saw that i WOULDN'T BE, so i felt I HAD to head down, cause they didn't give it to me to go to the beach..
but i am trying to put on the brakes. but i am having a tough time. i thought TODAY would REALLY be it!!! Listen to my pubic comment. But then Garshady does what he does, and I;m just passing time until tomorrow. but by then, maybe i'll chill out and not attend. anyway, regarding the FEDS, it's not up to ME to put up or shut up, but I will say, luckily for THEM obama is busy with the GM stuff and other stuff...but eventually, i think things will be looked into if they aren't already, and i have heard that they ARE! So thanks for bringing that one up again as a reminder.
Hey 6:58, since this is a hotsheet:

Is Villaraigosa's Chief of Staff Robin Kramer the REAL Mayor of Los Angeles?
We have all heard the news coverage that Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa was found to be only spending 11% of his time on actual city business for the period audited in a public records request by LA Weekly.
Over the past couple years, the mayor hasn't even been in the city that much while travelling the country, first campaigning for Hillary Clinton (didn't work out so well in case you didn't hear -- even though all the time was spent out of the office and out of the city). THEN, it was time to hit the major cities across the country to fund raise millions of dollars from out of state real estate developers for Villaraigosa's re-election campaign, where despite the millions of dollars (compared to only $250,000 of the closest challenger), Villaraigosa only squeaked past a run off by 5%, winning with only 55% of the vote. ABYSMAL for someone who thinks they are going to run for governor.
SO WHAT HAPPENED DURING ALL OF THIS?:
The City of Los Angeles spent itself into a billion dollar deficit, by being overly generous with union raises and benefits when he was running for re-election, only to say he no longer has the money, now that he has been re-elected. And he now gives the ultimatum to either, "give back or suffer massive firings." So he says he brings people together, but this is ripping the city apart.
Also, while Vilaraigosa wasn't looking, LACERS pension fund lost nearly $7 billion in risky (non-investment grade investments) and shady and risky real estate deals that have now gone belly up and bankrupt.
Additionally, Villaraigosa continues to allow massive high density commercial retail and housing projects to pop up all over the city in any nook and cranny -- even though we are suffering drought conditions and a full blown water emergency in the state, region and city; and it is unlikely that DWP and the City will be able to provide water to all of these projects.
And if you tune into the radio or national cable news shows, the whole world knows how the character and fabric of the city has been forever changed and destroyed by this irresponsible, off-duty, dead at the wheel mayor, who has NO IDEA how to pull this city out of the mess it is boiling to death under.
SO WHO HAS BEEN RUNNING THE CITY?
Chief of Staff Robin Kramer has been running the show the entire time.
Robin was former mayor Richard Rioardan's Cheif of Staff.
After that, she went to work for Eli Broad.
Well, when Riordan and Broad backed Villarigosa, they knew he really ain't too smart. (I mean, the guy flunked the bar exam four times, never passing.) And if you listen to Antonio Villaraigosa even try to speak (in English OR Spanish, he's just as bad in either language) you can tell he's not that sharp. So Uncle Eli ("The Broadfather" as he is affectionately referred to by some) gave Robin to Antonio to run the show. Since she worked for Riordan as C.O.S.
But baby...whatever magic there may have been with Riordan, ain't there with Villar. LOOK AT THE CITY!!!
IT'S SPUN OUT OF CONTROL OUT OF GREED, CONFUSION, STUPIDITY, COWARDLINESS AND LACK OF LEADERSHIP!
Hey Eli, have some compassion. Pull her out of there. Take her back and put her back to work in your office now, instead of at the end of the term. O.K., O.K!!! He got re-elected, you can replace the Chief of Staff now and it won't matter.
Of course Los Angeles City Council bears a brunt of the blame, as well, and they receive that on a daily basis inside council chambers during the public comment portions of the meeting.
But the mayor pushes City Council around anyway, with his majority of Villarigosa-backed candidates. So ultimately, you have to put this on the mayor's office. And the mayor has been absent and if this were an airplane, he would be dead behind the controls of the cockpit. And he's running for Governor anyway, so he won't even be spending time doing things badly.
So it's been Robin Kramer running the show. And the city is now in a state of crisis with bankruptcy and a water shortage in it's immediate future and a wave of first time homelessness and nothing but billion dollar luxury projects and NO real affordable housing or emergency shelter strategy ready to be implemented.
I urge California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger to contact President Barack Obama's office to please make him aware of the fact that the city not only faces a billion dollar budget deficit; but a nearly $7 billion dollar LACERS bailout on top of that; faces a major water crisis that could cripple business and drive up costs city wide; there won't BE enough water for all the projects they have online; and there doesn't seem to be anyone in city hall in the mayor's office or city council who is even willing to address any of these issues, let alone handle them.
PRESIDENT BARACK HUSEIN OBAMA...PLEASE SEND LEADERSHIP TO LOS ANGELES CITY HALL IMMEDIATELY TO SORT THIS MESS OUT!!! IT IS A FEDERAL ISSUE REGARDING THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND HUD, ALONE. And you cannot operate the United States without Los Angeles. WE ARE LOSING THE CITY AS WE ARE LOSING THE BORDER. CONTACT THE MAYOR'S OFFICE IMMEDIATELY!
Sorry Dr. Demming - we're watching you!
Can we change the subject. STUPID IS A STUPID DOES. Bitter Bernie, Perry, Zine and Smith all want to keep the racicst Chief Parker name on the new police building. HELLOOOOO can they really be as stupid as they all look. Chief Parker was the most racist, biggot, abuser, allowed brutality and yet these Village Idiots don't care about his legacy of bullshit. PARKS AND PERRY you are BLACK...PARKER HATED BLACKS AND MEXICANS. Zine and Smith there is no excuse. You two are stooges who don't have the balls real men do to have your own mind. You both are an embarrassement to police officers. They hate you guys. ALL LAPDOGS.
Parker was born in South Dakota. He became police chief on August 9, 1950 and is credited with transforming the LAPD into a world renowned law enforcement agency.
Parker was a member of the police department during its last era as an old ward peacekeeping oriented force. The department that he took over in 1950 was notoriously corrupt. His experience in that atmosphere, with its heavy involvement by partisan groups in the police department and comingling of political circles with vice and corruption on the streets led him to conclude a different organized police force was necessary to keep the peace.
Parker's experience with military public relations in World War Two was later into developing an effective media relations strategy for the Police Department. Through television shows such as Dragnet and a steady stream of good publicity from local newspapers, he was highly admired nationwide. Parker was a guest on the television program What's My Line? on August 21, 1955.
Under Parker's early term, the Los Angeles Police Department initiated a more professionalized force which institutionalized officers into an environment that was more answerable to administrative oversight than political representatives. Included in this change was a standardized police academy, more proactive policing methods, and less use of violence but more use of force in securing areas, practices very similar to military peacekeeping methods which he was exposed to during the war.
It seems someone who is posting anonymously (as opposed to actually being anonymous to ZD) feels that "I" am posting anonymously in support of the candidate they are against. And feel that I am posting againt the candidate they are for.
Well, Zuma Dogg is feeling like the husband accused of cheating, who isn't cheating. But you keep getting accused so much, you may as well give them what they want.
So to prove that I have not been doing this, I guess I should just post what I have not been posting, so that you will see that I haven't been!
Nothing earth-shattering...but the kinda stuff you would want me to post if it were about the other guy. And I know people complain the media isn't fair, and it is slanted and has an agenda.
And I was going to focus on other things, but between some pirate blogger posting lies about me on this comment section, and Dennis Zine ignoring first amendment law when Zuma Dogg is speaking...
maybe some of these people will be a little more thoughful before they make false accusations and cut me off during a Brown Act protected speech.
I take my sh*t seriously. So you better take your sh*t seriously if you wanna take it to the dancefloor. Capishe Captain Pirate and Council Presidents (whoever may be behind the podium at the time.)
Now I gotta go watch the mayor put his foot in his mouth, and I'll post that stuff on a blog near you, soon.
Now take some cheap shots on THIS comment and I'll be sure to double up the efforts. (I would just leave it alone if I were you, but I know you won't be able to.) Eventually your supporters will ask you to stop egging me on.
I TOLD THE LATINS AND THE UNIONS NOT TO VOTE FOR TONY V. NOW IT'S TIME FOR YOU TO FEEL THE PAIN. DON'T FORGET HE GAVE NAHAI THE HEAD OF DWP A PAY RAISE, GOOD TIMING TONY!!! THIS ECONOMY WILL NEVER AFFECT THEM ONLY THE FOOLS WHO FELL AND VOTED FOR TONY!! LOOK AT THE CUTS AT THE SCHOOLS, NEXT POLICE, FIRE, UTILITIES AND WATER ALL GOING UP!! JUST LIKE I SAID NO SURPRIZE TO ME!! THE SIMULAS WON'T HELP THIS!!
Zooma, you have gone and done it now.
It's been OK to take on the lightweights, but now you are going after Robin. That is a serious mistake.
She is so sharp, you will have your feet cut out from under you and never feel it until they are gone and you stand up to leave the room.
You will never know where it is coming from, but believe me, it will be coming, and from a direction you never even thought possible.
You have messed with the wrong person, this time, stupido.
Your ass, is, as we say, grass.
Take some good advice; leave town whilst the leaving is good.
3:35pm, He's baaaaaaaack!!!!
Why was the mayor claiming they were going to pull the plug on non-performing LAUSD schools and hand them over to charter operators during a State of the City address. That is not under his office. So much other fun stuff, my head is exploding. I gotta take it all in and savor it all, and remember people, all of this depends on "a little bit of luck". YES, luck sure as f*ck IS part of the plan. It sure ain't in the budget. Anyway, a hilarious speech indeed. And of course you can't HAVE a State of the City address without a jazz band, baptist minister to give a prayer, then of course, you need the drumline, so since you had the jazz band. The "Star Spangled Banner" was a nice touch, and Villar dances out to Stevie Wonder, "Alright, Uptight." Would have stayed away from a song with "uptight." Gotta go...
Yup, ZD's back and the blog has fallen from #2 to #8 and falling...
I would never dismiss Zuma's report that we are running out of water, because WE ARE RUNNING OUT OF WATER.
For the record Zuma, I can also think of tons of ways to cut our money. As an activist, a former neighborhood council chair and a realist who isn't a whiner, I can think of many, many places we should cut and many things that I personally, would give up and hope that others would too.
No one gives a RAT'S ASS about what some lefty fish-hacks at the LA Times think about some front page ad.
The Times has no choice--they are in serious financial trouble.
The old media is dying before our very eyes.
Die, old media, die!!!!
Die, old media, die!!!!
Of course we remember Andrei Cherny. He was a brilliant young student and a Dem who was considered too conservative by many.
He had a great job with the Clinton/Gore administration as a speech writer. They snatched him up before he finished college.
He actually went to Arizona because his wife is from there, I believe.
We lost a good candidate with a great brain when he moved, that's for sure.
