Notes on the CD 2 Special Election Scorecard
"Who will be in the Run-off after Tuesday's Special Election??"Great Sunday to all as water erupts from yet another broken DWP water main, this time in Venice.
** In the theme of the late, great Sports Writer for the defunct Herald-Examiner and LA Times Allan Malamud, we present the "Notes on the CD 2 Special Election Scorecard". Many of you in the political bloggersphere who are old enough to remember "Mud's" popular "Notes on the Scorecard" column which graced both the Hearld and the LA Times on Page 2, will agree that it was the definite read after a busy sports weekend.
The Valley's long time "newspaper of record" the Daily News aka. "Moldy Green Sheet", finds time to devote some column inches to Tuesday's Special Election. It all about the "topics" as water main breaks, development, and the carpetbaggers.

Red Spot I make more money now than Krekorian could afford to pay his staffers. Plus I have an amazing employer who I would not leave.
Plus I got a lot more bloggin' left in me. :)
And indeed, the Jennerjahnisms are about to give the RedSpotisms a run or their money.
Time to start back up the Mayor Sam store to put these things on some schwag.
That's right; Higby runs this blog for me and I pay him too well.
I've fired him seceral times, but he just won't clear out.

Red Spot, you sure know how to pick them.
Vote Mary Benson!
Your political skill in this race looks a lot like SC football last Saturday. It is Christine and Paul standing on Wed.
Red Spot
You forgot my two other catchphrases:
1) Freedom-hating liberal
2) Budget-destroying Socialist
Sounds like a sure winner, Spot! Tamar and Mary would be a fun run-off. I'd prefer two of the non-carpet baggers/non-Big Three, but that is wishful thinking.
If we all hadn't been so damn busy trying to survive the Station Fire, we might have been able to put more effort into the 7 locals. Just another reason to catch that arsonist, lock him in the same room with the people who lost their homes in Trail Canyon, and walk away for an hour or so.
So Joel Wachs and Rip Taylor use Sheftel's medical marijuana services.
Amazing what you learn from campaign contributions!
