Mayor Sam's Hotsheet for Tuesday

Jon Regardie gets funny again and gets inside the head of Mayor Villaraigosa imagining what he might say as he departs on his latest junket, this time to Israel. In Regardie's piece, Villaraigosa might say that his trip "will establish both trade and symbolic ties between Los Angeles, the city of the 21st century, and Jerusalem, the city of the first century. Average them out and you have the city of the 11th century."

Those of you who worried about longtime Villaraigosa foot solider Mike Trujillo having to visit the Canoga Park office of the Employment Development Department following the withdrawl of Mrs. Bill Clinton from the Presidential sweepstakes likely need not worry. Tony Castro reports that insiders within presumptive Democratic nominee Barack Obama's campaign planning on sending the Villaraigosa machine in search of Latino votes in Texas, Colorado and Michigan. Pack your bags Mike.

How do the idiot bureaucrats in Kern County decide to opppose the recent State Supreme Court ruling allowing gay marraige? They'll issue licenses but they are ending performing civil ceremonies for all couples, straight or gay. Just keep on being dinosaurs and sink the Republican Party until the socialists take over for good morons.

The LA County Superior Court is disputing the facts in a new documentary airing on HBO about the case of Roman Polanski, who at the age of 44 was alleged to have drugged and raped a 13 year old model back in 1977. Polanski later plead guilty to lesser charges of unlawful sex with a minor, however he fled the country prior to sentencing. Today, at age 74 Polanski still remains on the lam living and working in countries that would not extradite him to the US.

And finally, we reported yesterday that Eric Garcetti is being pushed to run for Mayor, yet David Markland reports on the campaign of another "Garcetti" who is seeking the District Attorney post in another "city." Roger Garcetti is the odds on favorite for District Attorney of Gotham, part of the guerilla marketing for the latest Batman movie, The Dark Knight.
