Morning Briefs on the Los Angeles Political Machine for Tuesday

"The High-Five Loving LA City Prosecutor".

OH THE (POLITICAL) DRAMA! Naught, more like waste of judicial resources.

The eyes of the local media and political bloggersphere were fixated on the Superior Courtroom of Judge Joseph Kalin as the attorneys for District Attorney Candidates Carmen Trutanich and Alan Jackson played out their "ballot designation scrabble contest".

The Jackson Campaign had undertaken this legal procedure to prevent "Team Nuch" from using the ballot designation of "Los Angeles Chief Prosecutor" and  after yesterday court proceeding, the judge bestowed this ballot designation upon the City Attorney for his quest to succeed District Attorney Steve Cooley, "LA CITY PROSECUTOR". Drama over.

** In a straight shooting missive on the fiscal future of the City of Los Angeles, CEO Miguel Santana warned the Office of Failing Two-Face Mayor Villar and the City Clowncil Central Committee, that the era of dancing the "one time budget fix cha cha" is over, unless the city's leaders aspires to become the "Stockton on the Coast".

** Imagine the thought this blogger had when he drove back into Blackberry range and found that "Charro Huizzy Corleone" is back from his fling with the fishes.

** Pause with me for a moment as my latest episode of 2013 Mayoral Campaign News shakes abates after LA Weekly's Jill Stewart most recent missive regarding a Loyola Marymount University Poll on the 2013 campaign. For LA County Supervisor Zev "Hamlet" Yaroslavsky, this poll could break his "inner standoff" on his deliberations whether to run or not.
