We Did It! One Million Hits!

Thank you to everyone - Chief Parker, Mayor Frank, Jennifer Solis, Tofu Girl, Betts Yorty, Jim Alger, Councilman John and especially our current crew - Walter, Zuma, Joe M., Red Spot, Antonio Watch, Joe B., SS Sam Taylor and Numan!

Thank you SOO much to all the elected officials who provide us with such daily entertainment and fodder for the blog. There are so many of them but we especially want to thank Bitter Bernie, Wacko Jacko Weiss, Sleeping Greig Smith, Rocktard Delgadillo, Bachelor Nanny Lloyd Levine and the rest. Special props to the Hahns! We could not have got rolling without you.

A very special thanks to all the bloggers who have supported us one way or another - especially our "Godfather" Joseph Mailander. Foothill Cities, Flap, Boi from Troy, Mack Read, Zach Behrens, LA City Nerd (same guy?), Video Louis and even the WWG and David Markland - thank you! Also props to the Bear Flag League as well.

And we have to thank those in the print and electronic media who have given us SO much support and press - Doug McIntyre, Kevin James, Mr. K., Jon Regardie, David Z. and Rick Orlov.

Thanks to local information operative type folks like Edward Headington, Ms. Hammond at LA County, Bitter Bernie, Jr., Alex Traverso, Ace Smith and many others who recognized the value of sending their press releases and information to us even when we made fun of them.

Thanks to the elected's spinners too who come in through the back door. You know who you are and so do we. Thanks for keeping us busy.

I don't know where to put him, so thanks to Stuart Waldman for your support over the years.

Most importantly big props to our readers especially regulars like Captain Jack, Archie Bunker, Halogirl, Sacramento Nighties, Parque Esqueleto and all of you we may never know.

I am sure I am leaving someone out so please accept my apologies in advance.

But finally there is one person who without we could not be having the success we have been having and thanks to his very action today - got us to one million hits in time for the Fourth of July - Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa. You don't know how happy you've been making me lately. Keep doing what you're doing.

On to two million! Blog away dum dums! (Oh and keep commenting on the Mayor V and Red Spot stories below)
