  1. Here’s a straight forward news line- “Alleged Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa …”

    Also at the link-
    Arizona arrests Meteor Crater on suspicion it was created by asteroid that entered state illegally
    (Which I think is funnier than the governator’s line about being deported to Austria- if he did a poll, I’m assuming a number of Californians would help pay for the air fare).

    Thnaks for the fun. Never heard of this before (that I can remember), must be similar to “The Onion“. (Best Onion headline I remember- “Internet goes down for 24 Hours, sources say worker productivity skyrockets.”

  2. That’s about where they are by now. The Third World population of LA will not call them to account. If I were a resident of some of the relatively prosperous neighborhoods of LA, I would be thinking secession. A lot of people who do not live in southern California do not realize that “greater LA” includes many small cities that do not bear the burden of LA city but do have the County to deal with. Unfortunately, the County voters rolls are full of people who still don’t get it. They will soon.
