Author’s note: This piece was submitted yesterday as an article, and within minutes Rob Kall unceremoniously and with a cryptic note (rude, actually) kicked it out of the queue, because he said I had broken one of his confusing, yet rarely followed edicts…which I had not.In the ensuing emails he accused me of not reading his email, and I returned the favor by saying the same thing. I read his email and he was wrong. He obviously did not fully read mine.
1) I did not paste in a long article from a major newspaper. I only pasted in the first page, which I clearly said I was doing, and that was followed by a link.
2) The L.A. Weekly is not a major newspaper. It’s a neighborhood weekly, albeit of an extremely large and populous city, and although it’s been around for years, only the most canny and politically aware of L.A.’s denizens are even vaguely aware of its existence.
If Rob is going to single me out for thinking I broke one of his rules, then he should be consistent and do it to everyone. Almost daily I see people do what he said I did, which I didn’t, and they do it in articles, op-eds, diaries and comments.
So here it is, folk. My opinion of this hellhole called Los Angeles, which is led by the most corrupt pack of wolves ever, followed by the link to the original story.
Is your city suffering from mayoral egotism that’s destroying your city?
Three years ago the idiot electorate of Los Angeles voted for Antonio Villaraigosa, an egomaniac who used every public office to step up to the next one as he was term-limited out of each office.
Villaraigosa makes wild promises and starts massive projects, such as taking over L.A.’s ever-failing schools, which by California law he can’t, and never finishes anything he starts.
Of course, it’s not surprising that he’d try an illegal take over of L.A. schools; he failed the bar exam four times before giving up on taking it.
Then there are all the feel-good promises he makes like increase the size of the woefully undermanned police force, filling potholes, controlling gangs, unjamming traffic and so much more. You’ll notice they’re not listed in order of importance, because it doesn’t matter; none got off the ground.
He can’t even succeed in giving away trees to help the environment. Ten thousand trees were to be given away to the public for planting. One problem. All the trees disappeared. Vanished. Never to be seen again. Stolen? Ground up into mulch and sold? Taken by a nursery and sold? Nobody knows and nobody cared to find out.
There are five things he’s found time to do in the 11 percent of the time he’s spent actually conducting the city’s business since he‘s been in office.
If the idiots in my city don’t pay attention to any of his crooked wheeling and dealing when he’s up for re-election in March, they should pay attention to that 11 percent. Who among us could get away with that and not be fired?
The five things he’s accomplished is to Lie! Lie! Lie! To get his way; keep L.A. the largest sanctuary city for illegal aliens in the country; give illegal sweetheart no-bid contract deals out to his developer cronies; campaign to be appointed to Barack Obama’s cabinet or governor of our failing state; and get his picture in the paper on an almost daily basis, no matter where he is in the world.
Below is an article from L.A. Weekly. It’s quite long, but the first page gives you enough of an idea of what is going on in the country’s largest corrupt, sanctuary, third world city. To read the article in it’s entirety http://www.laweekly.com/2008-09-11/news/the-all-about-me-mayor/
After perusing it, maybe you’ll see if the handwriting is on the walls of your city hall.
