Zuma Dogg Weekend Update/Open Thread

SPECIAL EVENT FEE WAIVER PROPOSAL: First of all, Zuma Dogg wants to declare the Led Zeppelin reunion a "Special Event" and waive any and all fees related to this reunion, in hopes of attracting the event to the Los Angeles Forum or local stadium. (Not at shady Staples center.) The fees should be waived due to the economic boost that this event will have on the city as a regional attraction. And if you don't do it, it is only because you are racist against Classic British rockers, and all who appreciate this art form that is better than any of Uncle Eli's snobby museum operas.

CM QUOTE OF THE DAY: Not to say that the only thing Tom LaBong has on his mind is football, but it appears the only thing Tom LaBong has on his mind is football. (He should be in that SNL skit, "Da Bears...Ditka! Da Bears, Ditka!) During a press conference about fixing traffic problems, the mulit-color, squiggly-line painting CM had THIS to add, "You got to have a plan, just like right now both coaches from USC and UCLA are devising a plan to win on Saturday. We want both teams to be successful. I'm pulling for USC." Glad to see the traffic situation is in able hands and empty heads.

ZD YouTube Holiday Countdown: Since ZD has become such hot topic this weekend, and some people may just becoming aware of the beloved public advocate, here are some of the most popular ZD videos of all time.

(first video is a Christmas carol from Zuma Dogg.)

ZUMA'S CLASSIC RADIO CALLS: Click here for podcast archives (including streaming audio) of ZD's KABC calls (during the good old Mr. K/Kevin James days) and some other fun things, including a jingle for Mayor Antonio.

ZUMATIMES.COM: Click here for archives to all ZD stories blogged on Mayor Sam and other ZD related articles and whatnot. (Check out "Newsletter" -- giant post of every ZD story from three months/quarter.) Plus, links to Council TV feeds/archives, custom search engines you can use, links to all the streaming radio show and all the links I like to use throughout the day, all in one place.

STORY ZD IS WATCHING:
Anonymous said:

It isn't about "sanctuary cities", this is just a smoke screen to go after Antonio's other baggage. Being the mayor of a sanctuary city just opens the door and makes him fair game.

There is an investigation going on that is going to sink Antonio. Even the L.A. Times knows about this and they have even backed away from their carte blanche support of Antonio. This investigation leads right back to Clinton 1 and Hillary's brother.

Vignali and Garcia were the major landowners for properties around Staples Center and L.A. Live. The Reps are just biding their time until both Hillary and Antonio are in their cross hairs.

Do some more digging Mayor Sam - everyone in the know is already talking about this.

This is new to MY radar, but looks like something to watch. Might end up seeing this one on Hannity and Combs. (It's Colmes, you idiot!)

STORY WATCH UPDATES: I might post some story updates (from some of the emails in my inbox I haven't gotten to) under the comment section of this thread. Meanwhile, post the stuff you think we need to be aware of that they won't be reporting about in the newspapers.

Good evening, everybody! My name is Zuma Dogg, and people say I am a waste of time, who has never changed a thing. So I better start fresh, and double up my efforts. Here's a starting point!

Love,
Zuma Dogg
