Los Angeles Politics Hotsheet for Tuesday
Paul Krekorian Communications Director Jeremy Oberstein, sporting a stache for the Movember fundraiser, digs into some post-holiday cupcakes. There is still time to donate and support men's health.
Mega-developer Rick Caruso wants to expand his Americana at Brand shopping center in Glendale by purchasing some adjacent lots. Only problem is the owners say they won't sell. So what does Caruso do? Follow up with some state sponsored capitalism and seize the land through eminent domain. That's also known as socialism for millionaires.
Speaking of Glendale the former Mervyns store remains empty in the Glendale Galleria after two years. Maybe it could be a Home Depot.
The latest photo opp for Mayor Villar will be with Chabad in the Valley at Universal Studios. No word if the Mayor will dance with the Rabbis. However Chabad is know for being masters at rehabilitation so perhaps they can reform the Mayor.
Adam Carrolla for Mayor. Also.
Latino leaders in Nevada disgusted with Republicans who don't listen to them and Democrats who take them for granted are considering organizing similarly to the Tea Party Movement. The Tequila Party wants to put "the establishment on notice." I'll join!
Phil Jennerjahn hooks up a gem of a post asking "Do We Really Need This Many Clowns on the City Council." The answer is, for the sake of Mayor Sam, yes. Best line: "Richard Alarcons addiction to Middle Eastern Hummus caused a voting foul up."

Did you see Phil's hilarious assessment of the two stories written about him in The Los Feliz Ledger?
I guess Phil's history of making promises, and not living up to them, pissed off the writer.
The day they ran the story on Phil's CD4 candidacy came out, Phil upped and quit, which pissed off everyone at the paper. So they lambasted him in a follow-up story.
Here is the first story, in which Phil's nerd factor definitely came across.

And here is the follow up story. Also, hilarious.

It must be me, Mayor Sam, but what is it that is humorous about the Alarcon/Hummus line?
Phil isn't exactly George Carlin.

How is the hummus line funny?
I clicked on the link, and it only redirects to a Wikipedia definition of what hummus is, as if anyone on this blog doesn't already know that.
Who else but Phil?

"Do We Really Need This Many Clowns on the City Council."
Is this why Jennerjohn dropped out? Because we ALREADY have enough clowns on city council?

I thought you banned Phil subjects from the blog because he refuses to take comments on his own blog, and wants to use MS "as a litterbox."
Didn't you or joe write that just days ago?
It may have been while you were on vacation, but that's the operative phrase that was used. As Joe says, "Google it."

Why are you posting about phil? Wasn't he banned recently as a subject or commenter? I was proud of the blog at that time for FINALLY coming to its senses about this kook. And yet, you're bringing him back? Still can't figure out why you think he is smart. All I ask for is a single example.
By the way, in the los feliz ledger, they pointed out that in his most recent endeavors, Phil:
finished LAST in mayor's race
finished LAST in Congress race
QUIT law school in year one
QUIT recall city hall
Last, Last, Quit, Quit.
Highly impressive, Phil.

What happened with the phil jennerjahn embargo?
Also I agree with the first comment. What is it that's funny about the hummus line?

EXCELLENT POINT 7:02!
But you forgot one more Jennerjahn quit.
Lawschool, Mayor's Race, Congress Race, Recall, CD4 Race. Therefore, Jennerjahn's legacy is:
Quit
Last Place
Last Place
Quit
Quit
Ha ha ha, lol, good ones!

We need to abolish the CRA. That is the plan for the Los Angeles River that CRA is trying to hide from the people. The CRA is going to use eminent domain to seize valuable and productive industrial land and then sell it to vultures like Rick Caruso to build pretentious housing. Meanwhile the CRA will suck the tax increment out of the community depriving the area of infrastructure improvements to handle the additional traffic. The Rio de Los Angeles Riverwalk is on the drawing boards but not being told to the people.

That wasn't the question. I wanted to know why Higby didn't get a frontal shot of her.

I don't get why the hummous comment is funny either, OR why phil provided a wiki link to it.
Does he think "noone" knows what hummous is?

I'm glad we r allowed 2 talk about phil jennerjahns again.
It's fun. I like him and think he is gonna come back bigga and betta then EVA!

Is it me, or when they announced that Wisconsin hostage story on the news yesterday, did ANYONE think that it MIGHT be Phil?
I'm glad it wasn't, but it wouldn't have surprised me to find out that he lost it when back home for the holiday last week.
I still laugh when people post the way Phil used to describe the snack table at candidate events. "They had an assortment of fresh fruit and cookies. There was also plenty of bottled sodas, juices and coffee & tea." I don't know why I find that hilarious, but his niggling detail is always a goofy crowd pleaser.

Joe B. never allows this much fun. Glad to see you return, Higby.

Welcome to the blog Loretta and Cliff! You're both very funny. Love the photos.

Dum Dums, Mayor Sam banned comments BY Jennerjahn not about him. This is because Jennerjahn is too scared to allow comments on his blog.
Cliff Pileggi said:
8:57, really? I did not know that!
I'm stilla fan of his. He's funny and makes lotsa sense. I'd have thunk he could joust good with allcomers. Call me crazy. It would not be the first time that someones said that to me. But I ware it like a badge of coradge.

GEE, I WONDER WHAT ILLITERATE MAYOR SAM CONTRIBUTOR CLIFF PILEGGI COULD BE!

855am, I'm with you. Glad that that wasn't phil, but I would not at all have been surprised to learn that it was.
The news coverage would be "Birthday party clown and failed Los Angeles politico Phil Jennerjahn takes high school class hostage after gambling binge."
ha ha ha
lol
good one!

Phil Jennerjahn is so dense that he even thinks the POSITIVE comments about him are posted by mary.

HIGBY,
FOR THE UM-TEENTH TIME TODAY, A COMMENTER IS ASKING YOU WHAT IS FUNNY ABOUT THE "HUMMUS" COMMENT THAT PHIL MADE?
YOU HAVE THIS PATTERN OF SAYING LAUDATORY THINGS ABOUT PHIL, BUT WHEN WE ASK FOR EXPLANATIONS, YOU ALWAYS RUN FROM THE QUESTION.
WHAT THE FUCK IS UP WITH THAT?

It must be me, but why are you all demanding that Mayor Sam explain the hummus remark that Phil did on his blog?
Obviously there was some sort of food being served and Alarcon was at the table when there was a vote? Is this really an issue?
Who could explain the rest of the post? Or want to?
Did he just make that up about all of the Councilmembers hiring 15 people each? I always thought that they got a budget of X and they could hire who they want. They can hire 10 highly-paid staffers or 30 low-paid staffers.
But I don't have the knowledge Phil does, for sure.
