** Another day and you guess right, we have another busted DWP water line. This time in the West Valley.
Topanga Canyon Boulevard in Canoga Park was shut down during the busy afternoon commute today after yet another broken water main flooded the street and sent dirty brown water pouring into nearby businesses.
The break — the fourth major gusher this week — occurred just before 3 p.m. in a 12-inch pipe under Topanga near Victory Boulevard.
Topanga is a major state highway connecting the 101 and 118 freeways, and some city officials predicted traffic chaos. Councilman Dennis P. Zine, who represents the area, said he wants the city Department of Water and Power to figure out what is going on beneath the streets — and fast.
** The District Attorney is now reviewing the LAPD investigation of former Building and Safety General Manager Andrew Adelman for a allege sexual assault.

Did you really just bottle cap Higby's exclusive on the Galatzan-Villaraigosa connection with this screed? Really??
Here's one for Krekorian, not that Higby deserves it with his selective slams in favor of Paul K, same as he was doing for Trutanich against Jack Weiss. Though Paul's people don't seem as viral and nasty, to Paul's credit, they're nice like Weiss's.
L A Now has a critical look at the Essel mailer and Shallman, claiming that Paul supported turning Verdugo Hills golf course into development, the Fuentes bill. But there's a dispute over which version of the Fuentes bill he supported. (No doubt, Fuentes was a dangerous man, and fact he's putting out ads for Krekorian is worrisome. But Shallman is lying and has been caught at it.)
Unusual that Maeve Reston writes this, and she and Zahniser always worked FOR Shallman clients so far.
This comes day after Jim Newton, who endorsed both Shallman clients in the same terms lacking credibility, slamming Weiss and Tamar-Paul in the same way, is replaced as Editor of Editorials.
While editorial and city desk are different depts., Eddy Hartenstein the publisher seems to have been embarrassed by people being so aware of the bias, rumors of Newton's connection to and plans to work for Riordan, etc.
This is too late to have helped the extreme bias Weiss endured, but do we dare hope the worst of the bias is being addressed, a little bit?
That Shallman's days of running what Joe B calls "Shallman's Lackeys" at the Times are in question?
You people don't want to vote for Zuma Dogg. Can't you see? HE'S GOT INTELLIGENCE! You people don't want to listen. You people don't want to learn!
I AM GONNA TELL YOU SOMETHING RIGHT HERE AND RIGHT NOW. I AIN'T NO LITTLE KID! I'M NOT GONNA HAVE CIGARETTES KEPT FROM ME LIKE COOKIES! AND I WANT SOMETHING DONE!!!!!
I don't care what you fuckers say. I'm voting ABRS (Anyone But Red Spot). Red Spot's inability to read/write sets a horrible example for our young people and his lust for Sarah Palin calls into question his character and judgment. On election day, remember, ABRS!

Nice of you to paraphrase your Mom's hopes before you were born;
"Anything but the Red Spot".

Okay, you had me with the Red Spurt illiteracy example appeal, but then you lost me when you had to go and trash one of few decent-looking female politicians in this country.
Other country's allow women who aren't repulsive looking to lead, why not the U.S.? Are our babes only good for spokesmodel and centerfold duties?
RS is doubly annoying because he (and Higby), think his ignorance is funny, which makes it all the more sad -- like hurling midgets and mimicking lispers and hair-lips.
But separate your passions into categories if you're looking to influence the masses, dude(ette?). You've got (half) my vote, only.

If this isn't suspicious, I don't know what is. Who is investigating the possible sabotage by the DWP Union of our water system.
We need Red Spite on the case immediately: find out who at DWP is exploding our pipes as an excuse to raise our taxes and hire MORE not fewer DWP workers! He can't spell for shite but is excellent with conspiracy theories!
Does anyone know if the Ethics commission is investigating or did anyone file the fact that Antonio used city letterhead when he wrote or had his attorney write that letter in defense of Nunez's son for the judge.
Is that Fabian Nunez' son at the table, the one who is now being charged with murder? This is so sad, even for the Not a Mexican Under the Cactus, stop using this.
you know the old saying
if you cant do the time
then dont do the crime.
I guess this kid relized that knuckle-head nunez Sr. has no power
to get them out of jail like the knuckle-nunez jr said before they went to go and kill this innocent young man.
I hope that bastard nunez jr rots in jail.
let the bastard be the example of
no matter who you are you can not
get away with murder by just writing letters from corrupt politians also.
