Mayor Sam's Sister City - Home of Los Angeles Politics

This is the city: Los Angeles, California. I work here. I'm an ex-mayor. Los Angeles is a magnet for people from all over the world. Some of them run for public office. Inevitably some of them stray from the golden rule and rule for those that have the gold. That's when I go to work. My name is Yorty. I'm a dead pol.

Do You Feel Stupid? The LA City Council Thinks You Are!

BREAKING NEWS - sort of - The City Council votes to outlaw medical marijuana shops in LA. The whole issue of medical marijuana is a complex one, but leave it to our beloved Clowncil to never fail to put political expediency over good policy, or even, freedom.

Because each of us is so stupid, and we need the likes of our overlords to protect us, the horseshoe of horse's asses as well as their revolting cousins in the California State Legislature have now banned and protected you from the following items:

Medical marijuana
Plastic bags
Paper bags
Porn movies without condoms
Foam food takeout containers
Tanning beds for teens
foie gras
Shark fin soup
Kosher Coca Cola
Incandescent light bulbs
Hamburgers (South Central LA)
Declawed Cats
Talkradio
...and the list goes on

All of this is happening while the City is facing it's worst financial crisis, is under an FBI probe for public corruption, rapes are rampant through Hollywood, streets are not paved or even painted with lane markers

...and the list goes on.

Two homework assignments for you kids. 1) Make plans to vote in next March's city elections. These people operate in a vacuum and that vacuum is that 90% of you don't vote in these important contests. 2) Watch the movie (or read the book) "Atlas Shrugged." It will change your life.
