Wake The Fuck Up
The shot was fired across the bow - this time by old, gasbag Richard Kind looking Grieg (where the hell do you get an I in Greg anyway?) Smith who decided to play hardball with the City's neighborhood councils.
That shot fired was the first in the revolution that will be called Secession II: This Time It's For Real.
Are you tired of shady developers, crooked non-profits, selfish public employee unions and politicians who suck at their teats?
Are you tired of immoral low life politicians like Antonio Villaraigosa or fellow Mirthala banger Fabian Nunez, blowhards like Zev, Dennis Zine, Rosendahl, Janice Hahn, Jan Perry or even George Bush (throwin in to be fair)? Or weasels like Garcetti or Weiss?
More importantly are you tired of being taxed to death like trash fees that really don't pay for more cops? Or does your blood boil when politicians like the Mayor bring you shady ways to increase the amount of money you have to take out of your hard earned pay checks with out and out (probably illegal) scams like the phone tax?
It's time to take a stand - secession now.
From the Valley to the South Bay to the West Side to the East Side. The Harbor, Hollywood, West LA, Los Feliz, CD14 and of course the Valley - lets be our own city and leave Downtown to the Mayor and Eli Broad to lord over.
Since the last round of secession, a lot of us "40somethings" got older, bought homes, started paying more taxes and started thinking less about partying and having fun (though those are important and in many ways our Clowncil does things to limit the partying in LA) and looking at our community.
Your spiritual leaders are 40ish hot PTA moms like Kim Thompson and Valley Doll and other no-nonsense folks on the cusp of the Baby Boom and Generation X like Walter Moore, Joseph Mailander and Zuma Dogg.
These are the people who have said enough of the nonsense. We are tired of developers being able to pay off Clowncil people to do what they want to our neighborhoods, we are tired of special intersests hijacking government and blowing money that should be spent on public safety, schools, roads and not things like calligraphy, Hollywood parades and fast food bans and most importantly we are tired of being ignored.
So all the rest of our peers - wake the fuck up. Turn off "A Shot at Love With Tila Tequila (I know. I watch it too but that's what TiVo is for), have one less latte and get out on the streets.
Its time to put this city out of it's misery. Or us.
PS: My dear friend Joseph Mailander in the past has expressed disdain for the use of vulgarities and I have the utmost respect for him. I tend to agree (though I often talk like a sailor) but sometimes only certain words can express the meaning you want). I beg his indulgence and forgiveness; he is for sure a far better man than I could ever hope to be.
