Mid-day Brief on a LA Times Editorial Scheme for Monday

In supporting an accidental act of interactive, editorial musing via "The Old Gray Hag on Spring Street (aka LA Times)", we offer up our own "bloggin letter branding" of the various LA City Hall politicos.   

"The Old Gray Hag on Spring Street (aka LA Times)" in her younger days.

** Blogger's Note: Surprise, surprise for this start of the bloggin work week as the Editorial Board of the "Former Fishwrap of Record", now a mere talking points regurgitator of democratic policies, strayed away from their appointed duties of agenda journalism and stumbled into a Act of Interactive Dialog regarding the job performances of our various elected leaders. We here at Mayor Sam, have always espouse being interactive with our cyber audience. Thus, we whole-heartedly join along with "The Old Gray Hag on Spring Street's" attempt to reconnect with its remaining readers and offer up our own "Letter Brands" of those elected by the Special Interest's largess---Scott Johnson. 

1. "ee" for Mayor Eric Garcetti:

This refers to the "ee" in our most recent "Gar-Soft-ee" branding of the Rhodes Scholar's proclivities for middle-ground softness when it comes to taking a hard stance on a specific policy issue, as highlighted this past weekend in a Times story on "Gar-Soft-ee's" absence of stance on President Obama's Pacific Trade Pact.

2. "B" for CD 14 City Councilman Jose Huizar:

With no apologies to the UC Berkeley Graduate (who happen to attend Princeton University), before getting his Law Degree from UCLA, "B" does not stand for his GPA or his Boyle Heights (soon to be Hill Drive in Eagle Rock) home. In political and personal reality, "B" stands for B-E-T-R-A-Y-A-L as denoted by his latest acts of communal betrayal regarding Hazard Park and his stance on billboards.

3. "dD" for City Clowncil Central Committee Strongman Herman "Mini Amin" Wesson:

Regular observers of the normal trice-weekly shows of the Los Angeles City Clowncil Central Committee under the John Ferrraro Clowncil Chambers Big Top, will readily agree with our letter branding of the reigning "diminutive Dictator" ......., who's not running for mayor.   

4. "AB" for City Attorney Mike Feuer:

If you thought we were going "Gar-Soft-ee" on our "AB" letter branding of the former discount client of "Private Citizen, Political Consultant  John Shallman", rest assure that our "AB-109" branding of the co-author of the state legislation which is one of the root reasons for LA's recent crime rate increase, is not one you want bestowed upon your political self.

5. "U" for City Controller Ron Galperin:

Some of us in our less-mature, educational youth were given this "U"-branding for being uncooperative in executing our stated assignments. In that spirit, we must brand first term City Controller Ron Galperin with a "U" for his uncooperative follow through, in conducting a promised audit on the CD-14 CLARTS Amenities Fund. In lieu of recent indictments involving the Chicana Services Action Non-Profit (who used public money for a certain City Councilman 2011 Campaign Fundraiser), Mr. Galperin would find it prudent to audit allocations from CLARTS to various "Connected Non-Profits" to insure that funds were properly dispensed.

Your thoughts ..............
