2011 Predictions
Stephen Box will defeat Tom LaBonge in a run-off election. However this will follow a massive, unrecoverable gaffe by LaBonge in a debate with Box and fellow candidate Tomas O'Grady in which LaBonge makes a comment that infuriates Neighborhood Council leaders. Box and O'Grady will actually team up to press LaBonge on it; Box's higher name ID will push him ahead of O'Grady in the primary.
A major fishwrap in Los Angeles will announce it's closing it's doors.
Councilman Richard Alarcon will be plea down on charges he broke the law by registering to vote and running for office from a District he did not allegedly live in however neither he nor his wife will see any jail time. However, Alarcon will be forced to resign from his seat, causing a major North Valley scramble to take the seat in a special election sometime in the fall, one that will make the CD2 special election of 2009 look like a child's tea party.

Blogger Mulholland Terrace will put his StreetHassle blog on lockdown, making it only available to Mike Gatto, via invitation.
CD2 candidate Augosto Bisani will fail to garner even 5% of the vote in the primary against Paul Krekorian. However he will be discovered by the History Channel and see his business to become the next one to become a reality show.
Senator Dianne Feinstein will announce she is not seeking another term for the US Senate in 2012. LA Mayor Antonio Villaraiogsa will be among several who declare to run to replace her.
Twitter and Facebook will attempt to merge prompting a nasty response from both the California and US Justice Department. The case will take many years to resolve.
Rudy Martinez will handily defeat Jose Huizar for City Council. Following this, Huizar campaign consultant Mike Trujillo will quit politics for good and enter the ministry.
Blogger Don Garza will announce he is purchasing Carl's Jr, change the name to Godzilla's Jr, and add a bacon grease smoothie to the menu.
In a surprise move, Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa will appoint blogger and former Daily News editor Ron Kaye to the Planning Commission.
UTLA will attempt to get into the charter school business.
The Los Angeles Lakers will win their 18th World Championship against the Orlando Magic in Game 5 at the Staples Center. The win will be followed by the worst post-championship riots in sporting history leading to several top LAPD brass being terminated.
The History Channel's "Pawn Stars" team will announce the opening of a branch of the Gold and Silver Pawn Shop at LA Live. The store will be less so a traditional pawn shop as more so selling merchandise from the show and other History Channel merchandise. Mayor Villaraigosa will attend the grand opening and attempt to pawn his "Born to Raise Hell" tattoo.

My prediction is that another DRUNK ILLEGAL will drive on the wrong side of the road and crash into an innocent victim and then FLEE THE SCENE TO A LOCAL MCDONALDs.
Just like it happened on Christmas.
from the LA Times. Look for lots and lots more of these illegal drunks to do more of the same maiming and murder.
"30-year-old North Hollywood man is in Burbank police custody after allegedly driving the wrong way in the southbound lanes of the San Fernando Road underpass early Sunday morning, colliding with an approaching car and sending its occupants to area hospitals, according to officials. The identities of the victims was not released.
Ezekial Rodriguez was arrested shortly after the 12:45 a.m. collision after reportedly fleeing the scene on foot to a nearby McDonald’s, according to the Burbank Police Department. He was arrested on suspicion of driving while intoxicated."
P.S. Phil Jennerjahn will continue to be repellent, offend and act immaturely.
Some of these are downright disturbing.
Oh wait, I just remembered, at each end-of-year's recap, you mention that your predictions for the previous year are 99.99 percent incorrect, so never mind.
"Rudy Rich" Martinez is now down to about 9 weeks to convince approx. 100,000 voters in CD14 that he even exists, let along is a viable candidate.
He's less known now than Alvin "Doh" Parra was four years ago and has even more negative baggage from shady business dealings and questionable character references (read "Pacheco" and Pasadena bar-hopping with an illegally acquired LAPD badge).
He has NO background whatsover of comunity activism, like at least of few of the others challenging Council incumbents this year.
He has no viral, online presence whatsoever short of a badly made Website in which he lists the Griffith Park "Autry Center" as one of the CD15 establishments, a minimal e-mail list without a lot of contacts, and a roster of "supporters" most of which are pensioners living of social security in retirement homes.
He remains the least viable of any of the main challengers Huizar has faced since running for City Council the first time -- the main difference being HE doesn't even realize it yet, because paid political hacks who will collect most of his donated $150,000 are playing him for a fool, so they can grab his money.
Good luck with that, sucker!
I'd rather have a somewhat flawed, thin-skinned, prima-donnaish Huizar return than risk being ruled by a moron who's too full of himself to realize his "advisors" are rolling him for his money like some falling down drunk behind one of his own bars,.
I predict that Sarah Palin will try and stop daughter Bristol from enrolling at Arizona State University once she finds out that the school's mascot is a devil.
Trujillo in the house!
A suggestion for Stephen Box (good prediction by the way. A good campaign slogan might be that, "Tom is simply no longer relevant" Change it around and make it rhyme and you'll win this thing.
I predict none of this comes true.
Watch, my prediction will spot on.
UTLA into the charter business would not be a surprise since they are losing their jobs to charter schools as we outsource to privately managed companies like the Gulen Movement out of Turkey.
Why is it that the foreign Gulen Movement that manages over 150 Charter schools in the USA continues to falsely obtain h1-b work visas for un qualified teachers from Turkey / Turkic speaking countries? In the Los Angeles County the Gulen Schools are called Magnolia Science Academy. Read the h1-b Visa report below, they are claiming they cannot find math, science, computer and English teachers in the USA. These schools have recently been busted in Ohio for hiring foreigners via the Concept Schools. http://www2.nbc4i.com/news/2010/nov/23/public-charter-school-funds-under-scrutiny-ar-301282/
H1-b Visa info here: http://www.h1bwage.com/index.php?q=science%20teacher
In fact, did you know that the Cosmos Foundation part of the Gulen Movement has immigrated more foreign teachers in than the largest school district in the USA. Of course that would be LAUSD, who is allowing this? That number for Cosmos Foundation alone is over 1,100 h1-b visas since 2001 and Cosmos Foundation is only ONE of the Gulen Movement’s NGOs that are doing this. Who is dismantling the American Education System so followers of Islamic Imam Fethullah Gulen can teach our children? http://perimeterprimate.blogspot.com/2010/07/gulen-schools-and-their-booming-h1b.html
Not only visas for teachers but now they are getting h1-b visas for finance managers, business managers and legal counsel (as if America doesn’t have thousands of qualified people for these jobs) http://gulencharterschools.weebly.com/importing-english-teachers-from-turkey.html
If you are a proud American Teacher and have been laid off, do what the teachers in Chicago and Ohio have done…………………………fight back against the Gulen Movement overtaking America’s education. http://www.magnoliascienceacademy.blogspot.com http://www.charterschoolscandals.blogspot.com http://www.gulencharterschoolsUSA.blogspot.com http://www.charterschoolwatchdog.com
My Prediction, With the list CLOWNS running for council lining up Community pressure will force Krekorian into thw Mayor race for 2013!
Prediction, Ron K will do a story on why someone running for higher office in 2013 should not be Council President, Forcing Eric down!
Dude, didn't you post this exact same post about a week ago?
Lame to repost it. That's my prediction. You'll continue to be lame when it's so within your ability to not be lame.
Interesting, Higby, that your 2011 predictions avoided the nasty topic of Carmen the Clown Trutanich, or are you saving him for the Political Ass Clown Awards? He's got to be the hot favorite this year.
I nevertheless predict the joke of the Los Angeles legal community will face a 2011 recall campaign triggered by his official announcement that he is running for DA. The "Recall The Clown" campaign will be headed by Jack Weiss, who will use the Clown's violation of his signed pledge not to run for DA as the central theme of the campaign - "You cannot trust a liar."
They say that politics makes for strange bedfellows, so I also predict that Weiss will enjoy the backing of Steve Cooley who is rumored to be spitting blood over Trutanich's now not so secret campaign to run for DA, and has told the Clown to "back off" or face the consequences of a TRUly public humiliation when some inconvenient TRUths about the way the Clown conducts himself are revealed through WikiLeaks.
Trutanich is the finest elected official in L.A. He'll win the Mayors race in a walk.
My neighborhood council president told me over 3500 people have signed the petition asking him to do it.
Put that in your bong and smoke it.
9:56 "Trutanich is the finest elected official in L.A." That's not saying much, is it Rumpole?
"He'll win the Mayors race in a walk." He's running for DA first, you dumb Brit. Mayor's race is 2013. Do your lips move when you read this?
How could there be a petition circulating signed by 3500 people and nobody knows about it?
12:02 - the 3500 signing a petition is a bogus as "Rumpole" aka David Berger's pathetic efforts to support his buddy Carmen "The Clown" Trutanich.
The question is what has The Clown promised the crazy cockney Brit to shill for him in the DA election? Oh yeah, there's no "pay to play" in the Clown's camp is there?
Trutanich signed a pledge to serve a full first term as City Attorney, and seek a second. He specifically promised not to run for DA or Judge or use the City Attorney's Office as a springboard to higher political office.
I don't see how Trutanich can run for DA in 2012 when doing so would violate his promise. IF, and it's a big IF, Trutanich is running for DA then he's not just a clown, he's a delusional idiot. He was only elected because his opponent was so bad, but so far all the people running for DA are better qualified than he is - and they don't have the baggage he has like the screwed up medical marijuana law, the fiasco over so-called "criminal aspects" to the Michael Jackson memorial, and screaming at anyone who doesn't agree with his screwed up third rate "law school for dummies" legal education.
I bet Red Spot is the only guy on welfare to complain about the "Nanny State".
12:51 pm - you seem to be screaming at everyone. Next time, try cutting the prosacs in half.
12:51pm, It's "prozac" not "prosac." I know that because that's what's written on my bottle, or is yours the British spelling?
12:51, you may not realize it, but thanks for doing the free publicity for Trutanich. Money can't buy that. As for your rabid insight, it is easily ignored. In LA, name recognition is very important. That's how we get the idiot Mayor & Councilmembers to win. So please keep at it. Thanks again.
MORE BAD NEWS, WHY CHANGE THE PATTERN. MORE CUTS TO CITY SERVICES, MORE VOTER APATHY TO HELP RE-ELECT ALL THE WRONG PEOPLE. MORE CUTS IN SERVICES,MORE TAXES, MORE PEOPLE LOSE THEIR HOMES, MORE CUTS TO SCHOOLS, MORE REGULATION, LESS FREEDOM OF THE PRESS AND MEDIA,MORE CORRUPTION, MORE BAD DECISIONS BY ALL. BUT, THEIR WILL BE NEW TECHNOLOGY, NEW MEDICAL CURES, NEW WAYS TO COMMUNICATE, MOVE TOWARDS LESS POLUTION, MORE PEOPLE WILL VOLUNTEER THAN EVER, MORE INDIVIDUALS CHANGING THE WORLD WHILE THE GOVERNMENT LEADERS WATCH, LESS HUNGER,LESS POVERTY,MORE NEW INDUSTRIES,HOPEFULLY LESS BIG GOVERNMENT, MORE PEOPLE INVOLVED IN THEIR GOVERNMENT AND SCHOOLS JUST TO NAME A FEW.
