Los Angeles Politics Hotsheet for Monday
So what screw ups at the Sheriff's Department lead to the senseless deaths of youngsters Jamiel Shaw, Mitrice Richardson and Zac Champommier? We ask some questions but there are far more missing answers in each case.
When Mayor Villaraigosa took his spill on his bike many were surprised that he even rode a bike at all. Now he's a born-again bicycle rights advocate. The serious bicycle advocates however aren't buying it.
Despite a big push from Mayor Villaraigosa and union activists US Senator Barbara Boxer is seeing her chances drop like a rock as opponent Carly Fiorina surges in the polls. Fiorina is finding massive support in the Central Valley where both farmers and farm workers have been upset with Federal water policies.
And finally in the "Who Cares Department," The Daily News announces shifting columnists around from page to page. Count how many times the term voice is used in this puff piece from editor Carolina Garcia.

Wow. Looks like big, exciting times ahead at Daily News. Sorry I used the word "times." Anywho, that front page heat journalism from Carolina should be the talk of the town. It's what people have been waiting for.
"Puff piece?"
Did Michael Higby, who writes about the fluffiest subjects on the planet (examples include Pea Soup, Phil Jennerjahn) say someone ELSE is writing puff pieces?
I'm digging the Groucho Marx reference, but on what channel did you "just happen to see" an episode of "You Best Your Life" this weekend? And really, is old TV what you do with your summer weekends?
Somedays I wonder why this blog has such an un-American spirit.
Angelenos it’s time to change LA and provide a fresh start by electing ordinary people for the common good instead of reelecting these career politicians who have NOT balanced anything other than raise DWP water and power fees, parking tickets, parking meter fees, trash fees, etc.
These politicians reward gang members with $24 million for furthering their criminal activities as mentioned by Sgt. Valdemar, retired from Los Angeles County Sheriff’s and a gang specialist, while closing libraries for the law abiding kids and continue to lower the standards here in LA with basic essential needs.
Note Full Disclosure NO Longer on City Channel

A white janitor Higby? You truly are a racist.
I called over to Daily News to speak with Ms. Garcia a couple years ago. I said, "Is Carolina there?" (I accidentally pronounced as in North or South Carolina.)
The receptionist cried in the shrillest of tone, "It's Caro-leeeeeeeeeeeena!!!"
Excuse me for not knowing that from print. You would have thought someone just lit her hair on fire.
I still hear that screeching voice in my head. Caro-leeeeeeeeeeeeeena.
The world's biggest social mixer is coming to Los Angeles. The single grandmothers under 30 club event. Will be bigger than a Coliseum rave.
If the city is thinking of ways to increase revenue it should create a one dollar tax on grandmothers who are 30 years old or younger. Could raise millions and millions of dollars in Los Angeles.
