He's blogging here again trying to reinvent history. At the rate he's going he'll be telling us that he actually won the election only to have it stolen by Cooley, Baca and Bratton who 'lost' thousands of votes from elderly retirement home voters.<br /><br />As usual Jack's wrong about Trutanich and Cooley hating Ed Reyes and Paul Koretz. The shoe is on the other foot, or feet. Reyes is pissed off because the LA Times and the LA Weekly both published articles showing Reyes to be an incompetent bumbling fool who doesn't understand that city ordinances cannot change state law. Reyes is also deeply humiliated by the revelation in the LA Weekly, that he was fooled into proposing an amendment to the ordinance written by Don Duncan who was actually a pot shop owner and also running a nice little side business as a consultant to pot shop owners. Imagine how foolish that little prick Reyes must have felt when the LA Weekly revealed his incompetence.<br /><br />As for Mr. Potato Head (Paul Koretz) he hates Cooley and Trutanich because they've outed him as the bungling architect of AB420, a law that the LA Times called 'confusing,' and one that prohibits the pot shop owners from being anything other than soviet-style 'cooperatives' or 'collectives.'<br /><br />Jack also fucks up when he tries to defend Jerry Brown's opinion on marijuana sales. Brown's opinion was written in August, but it was BEFORE the Supreme Court decided the Mentch case which ruled that pot shops cannot sell pot. It was also before the Hemp Factory case which is the most recent summation of the law as it is, not as Jack, Ed and Paul would like it to be.<br /><br />Sadly for Jack and his new boss Rocky Delgadillo, Jerry Brown IS going to endorse Steve Cooley for AG and Trutanich is not going to run for DA but stay put in LA where he can continue to piss off the left wing whiners by doing his job. <br /><br />Face it, liberal democrats have as much of a chance of being elected to anything, as a snowball in hell. The Obama honeymoon is over. The liberal democrat farce over their mishandling of the Underpants Bomber, including charging him as a criminal instead of a terrorist, was the worst decision these left wing wackos could have made. Before Eric Holder gave him criminal rights, UB was singing like a bird about what was going on in Yemen. Now that he has a taxpayer funded defense attorney, he's saying nothing. Real smart move Obama.

Cooley's pit bulls Carter lied about the Chick pro bono issue and Jane Usher boldly lied in council that Brown said on KFI he agreed with Cooley- Trutanich when in fact, she quoted from a rightwing commentator's wrong summary of Brown's remarks.<br /><br />Fact is that Brown's paper on the pot issue last August, like the court rulings, have been confusing but Trutanuch blog shills only try to bash Koretz and Reyes who in fact, are relying and trying to make sense of the law in a way that also respects realities of patients and the will of the people who voted for Prop 215.<br /><br />Cooley and Trutanich think that by kissing Brown's butt he'll support Cooley in his bid for AG and let his flunkie Trutanich try for DA, but they're dreaming. Brown sees them for the fascists they are and will never expose himself to the ridicule of the moderates let alone the progressive Democrats.<br /><br />When you have all the Asst DA's in your office suing you, and one of them has his persecution case vs. Cooley pending all the way up at the Supreme Court, there's so much dirt and so many angry people with too many facts that finally even the Slimes can't bury it. They're hoping that Shallman will throw so much dirt at Rocky and Kamala no one will pay attention to what Cooley's been hiding, but that jig is up after the people wised up this LAST time Shalllman and the Slimes tried it, with Essel vs. Krekorian.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8826939.post-72428468774645640442010-01-10T17:11:43.462-08:002010-01-10T17:11:43.462-08:009:11, if the cops were really so up in arms about ...9:11, if the cops were really so up in arms about someone who's built a career representing criminals against the LAPD they should have - and did, but too late and not loudly enough - oppose their Police Political union in supporting a nobody CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY who lived and worked in Long Beach his whole career, who representing the lowest forms of life AGAINST the LAPD and City of L A. The cops were and are furious the PPL spent a million bucks getting this phony puppet of Cooley elected, and are talking to the Teamsters BUT PPL blew another half-mil on E$$el.<br /><br />The PPL's Weber and Repovich figured thanks to uneducated lower class bonehead they hired as political consultant, Don Novey fresh from the California Prison Guard Union (since relieved of his contract there), they could CONTROL rightwing puppet Trutanuch = except he's PREDICTABLY so over his head politically, so hated and low-class just like Novey, such a loose cannon when he opens his mouth, that he can't do squat for the cops and in fact cost them any "juice" on their contract negotiations.<br /><br />So be consistent 9:11, if you're going to gripe.<br /><br />MEANWHILE to the Trutanuch shill who keeps trashing Reyes and Koretz (while it's Cooley and his Puppet Trutanuch who are rightwing jokes to the vast majority and on the WRONG side of the marijuana debate statewide and nationally, trying to score points with their Tea=Bagger Rightwing Kooks): even the L A Weekly has had to admit there are at most 550 MMJ shops. <br /><br />NOT 850 so get your numbers close if you're going to slime people to try to set them up as foils for your paranoid, can dish it but can't take it, arrest-crazy and threat-mad "bully and <br />Clown" Nooch.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8826939.post-12318021940860960692010-01-10T09:17:23.760-08:002010-01-10T09:17:23.760-08:009:42 AM is talking trash about Lucille Saunders an...9:42 AM is talking trash about Lucille Saunders and the La Brea Coalition's infrastructure lawsuit.

That's when the addicts wake up and need their fix. <br /><br />The city council is not going to <i>"shut them all down,"</i> but rather, limit the number to 70 and make sure they are not next to schools, parks, rehab centers and libraries.<br /><br />There are 1,000 marijuana shops currently doing business in LA. Oakland has 4. San Francisco has 24. The Los Angeles City Council has been acting like a constipated duck while more and more marijuana shops open - there were 186 in 2007, and most people thought that was too many. <br /><br />Now, mostly because that little egomaniac, Ed Reyes, was too stupid to realize he was being fed misinformation by the marijuana shop owners association, there are even more. <br /><br />Whether you believe in legalization or not, there has to be some control over marijuana sales. Even the most liberal of cities have been able to do that. But Ed Reyes is a stubborn moron who takes any criticism as a personal insult and is trying to derail the process.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8826939.post-88094304053451195922010-01-10T01:01:12.961-08:002010-01-10T01:01:12.961-08:005:18PM, I'm against billboards and marijuana s...5:18PM, I'm against billboards and marijuana shops, so I guess Trutanich does represent me. <br /><br />The City Council will be debating an ordinance to cut the number of marijuana shops down to 70 instead of the 850 that now exist. <br /><br />I expect that potato head <a href="http://pershingsquare.wordpress.com/2010/01/09/koretz-lashes-out-at-his-own-stupidity/" rel="nofollow"> Paul Koretz</a> and 'El Stupido' <a href="http://lacityhallinsider.blogspot.com/2010/01/ed-reyes-political-ass-clown-of-year.html" rel="nofollow"> Ed Reyes</a> to be the angriest voices at the clampdown on marijuana shops. <br /><br />Reyes has a lot to cover up having been asleep at the wheel for 4 years while he 'considered' how to regulate marijuana shops, and did nothing. <br /><br />Koretz, on the other hand, is sore from being called a fool by the LA Times who pointed out that it was Koretz who wrote AB420, the State law on marijuana, and <a href="latimes.com/news/local/la-me-marijuana-confusion6-2010jan06,0,5082083.story" rel="nofollow"> the Times said his law was confusing.</a><br /><br />Both Koretz and Reyes are the biggest pair of jokers around City Hall these days, as they try to blame Trutanich for 'politicizing' the issue, but everyone in LA agrees, the marijuana shops are out of control and it's time to do something about it. <br /><br />It seems that it's only Trutanich who has the guts to stand up and represent the people of Los Angeles, while Koretz and Reyes stand up for the drug dealers who run most of the marijuana shops.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8826939.post-23844333797733612092010-01-09T17:18:13.081-08:002010-01-09T17:18:13.081-08:00Someone said: I actually voted for Trutanich befor...Someone said: I actually voted for Trutanich before I joined the Lemmings who now condemn him for daring to stand up for the residents of LA.<br /><br />Smart of you to go with the lemmings now.

I have long been against billboards so I'm on board. <br /><br />This medical marijuana rant is driving me out of my mind. I think that there are much bigger fish to fry and I would never give in to valley homeowners on that issue. Even the federal government wants local governments to ease up on the marijuana growers/clinics. Even the Daily News said (something like this but not word for word) that it was pathetic that people are not getting smarter sooner than they did during prohibition on alcohol. And what is the city council getting ready to vote on next week that makes them believe that the clinics will be closed forever. I don't follow the story locally, but I wish we could just get the tax revenue. There are several of the clinics in my neighborhood and I've never even seen anyone enter them but I did hear that there was a vote coming up this week and that the city council believes it will shut them all down. <br /><br />I guess I could go read about it, but I'd rather someone just sum it up for me right here.

(Laura Chick, meet Don Duncan.)<br /><br />The Weekly's got a general pro- legalization article feature by a NEW WRITER totally unlike Patrick Range McDonald or Dennis Romero. FACING the pages of medical pot ads which are the Weekly's bread and butter. Fishbowl surmises that the ad boycott promised by the pot shops and docs just MIGHT have something to do with it.<br /><br />It's a very general article though not focused on the city except in passing, more on the prevailing winds (pun intended) in the state. <br /><br />But it doesn't take a genie to realize FALSETanich as Cooley's puppet is on the WRONG side of the voting public here, trying to criminalize all patients and pot shops. <br /><br />On top of prison overcrowding so REAL prisoners are being released - these two Clowns have tried to turn this into a Cooley Campaign Staple and it's backfiring, like Polanski will (for wasting so much money on him while DNA kits and rapists on our streets now are ignored.)<br /><br />One of Cooley's former Asst. DA's has a retribution case against him that's wound its way all the way up to the Supreme Court of the US, which will decide this week whether or not to hear it. If it does, FINALLY an end to his ways. <br /><br />Even if not any savvy opponent will milk it and the suit against him by the whole current dept. of his Asst.
