Morning Briefs on the Gadfly-Hating Los Angeles Political Machine for Thursday

Some current and former members of the City Clowncil Central Committee via KFI's John and Ken Show.

Great morning to all from the "Communal City-State of Los Angeles" where fifteen members of the City Clowncil Central Committee wants to restrict your right to convey via diverse modes of communication, comments regarding actions of the special interest elected City Clowncil Central Committee that reign from 200 Spring Street. As a reminder to the Clowncil Central Committee, we post this ..........

Congress (.... and the City Clowncil Central Committee) shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances (that includes Councilman Huizar and the CLARTS Fund).  

The First Amendment must be a foreign concept to the likes of CD 11 Clowncil Central Committee Member Bill Rosendahl and Clowncil Central Committee President Herb "Mini Amin" Wesson who are exploring ways to restrict speech from the likes of John Walsh, Chris Shabel and Miki Jackson pictured above, in light of Tuesday's comments in the Clowncil Central Committee Chambers by El Sereno Resident Michael Carreon that provoked feigned acts of victimization from Clowncil Central Committee Members Paul Koretz and Bill Rosendahl. Derided by some in the "establishment media" as "Gadflys", the likes of Walsh and Jackson have been instrumental in exposing safety issues at MTA and questionable actions at LACCD respectively. Others such as Zuma Dogg, Matt Dowd, Mike Hunt and Arnold Sachs have highlighted in public (and courtroom) the free speech hypocrisy of the supposed progressives that control the Clowncil Central Committee. Now, as the Clowncil Central Committee plots its revenge against those first amendment practitioners, Hillel Aron at the "Weekly of Record" profiles those City Hall regulars who are derisively labeled "Gadflys", but in actuality are the citizen watchdogs of an increasingly fascist City Clowncil Central Committee.

TGIF Political News dump for 9-30-11

We found Councilman Dennis Zine this "Mike Hunt".

...... and we also found the leather lover Dennis.

If one were to ask for Dennis Zine at this late public employee working hour on Friday, venture to say that CD 3's rep is safely far away from City Hall after his trying week. First, the controller in his dreams, goes postal on excessive cellphone usage among city employees which played only to a certain regurgitating maven blogger. Then some unknown visitor to the chamber that houses the "sacred horseshoe of clowncilmatic theatrics", penned two words that made Dennis a momentary focus of juvenile laughter among the political bloggersphere.

But Dennis, the week of political pandering for your next political gig is not the rain out that is currently occurring in the Valley. In the weekending tag team effort via Zuma Dogg and myself, we present you with this photographic evidence of questionable cellphone usage by a highly-paid city employee, as witness below.

Rest assure Dennis that your pandering efforts are not completely in vain.

Vacation Hot Sheet

BREAKING: City Council quorum was lost today when Mike Hunt: African American Klansman and jackass-at-large refused to remove his white sheet during public comment. Unfortunate that Mr. Hunt appears to have gotten exactly what he wanted with his stupid behavior. He's apparently done this before.
--------------------------------------------

Mayor Sam is on vacation, leaving us burros alone to play with the toy while he's gone.

Yesterday the City Council approved allowing a section of Van Nuys to become part of Sherman Oaks with only Huizar and Cardenas opposing the motion. LAist blogger Steven Rosenberg, now finding himself a resident of Sherman Oaks, doesn't feel too positive about the controversial switch.

LA County Supervisor Antonovich wants the Los Angeles Opera to discontinue the Ring Festival L.A. planned for next year. Antonovich wants Wagner's pieces replaced, calling Richard Wagner a “Nazi composer.” That the Third Reich usurped a great deal of Wagner's Norse mythology and symbolism for their own propaganda is not in question. The question is whether the adoption of someone's work by an entity should permanently taint or label the work. Wagner himself was hardly a Nazi by definition, having died in 1883.

City planning commissioners are stumping for a renewal of their influential and manipulative positions today in council. How many of them are relatives of councilmembers, high profile developers, union leaders? These guys just passed major new electronic billboards for the Convention Center during the City's moratorium on new billboards, ticking off the new City Attorney. Do you think they should be reappointed?

Judging by the number of people berating the City Council for paying for the Michael Jackson event, the public is still pissed off at the Mayor for his perceived arrogance regarding who should pay for the City's huge public safety response. Who do you think should pay for it? The Los Angeles Business Journal is taking a poll.

Cindy Miscikowski returns to the City loony bin with her appointment to the Harbor Commission. Good? Bad? Deja vu?

Nominations are open for the "Bloggin 5150 Troll" award. Your pick?

Free Speech is not Pretty

There's probably nothing more offensive than the idea of an African-American man or anyone else showing up to a City Council meeting dressed as a member of the Ku Klux Klan as perennial gadfly Mike Hunt did recently. Well there is one thing more offensive - trying to ban an African-American man or anyone else coming to a City Council meeting dressed as a member of the Ku Klux Klan. Free speech is not pretty - and neither are most gadflies and Council members - but its sacrosanct.

That's what the ACLU had to stand up for - as distasteful as it was to them and the Jewish attorney who led the case - when they supported the rights of racist, anti-Semitic Nazis to march in Skokie, Illiniois.

"Free speech is not pretty - and neither are most gadflies and Council members."

You can see how many City Clowncil members, City Attorneys and police officers it takes to figure out if they can kick Mike out of the meeting by clicking here.

Blogging dum-dums and City Hall spinners are aghast when Zuma Dogg and other protesters wear masks to LA City Council Meetings. However Daily News readers are more appalled at the thought of the City Clowncil wasting time on the issue and limiting free speech, no matter how annoying or offensive one may find it.
