A New Issue of “Not the L.A. Times”
Funnyman Roy Rivenburg has a new issue out at Not the L.A. Times.
One new story reports on Sam Zell’s purchase of the state of California:
In his first act as CEO, Zell replaced the state Legislature with a Magic 8 Ball, a widely hailed move that could save $1 billion a year.
He also ordered a 15% cut in the number of state residents. Millions of unlucky citizens were then called into their local mayor’s office and told they were being let go.
Heh.
I think this is supposed to be a knock on Zell, but it doesn’t come across that way to me. A Magic 8-Ball legislature and a 15 percent reduction in the population sound like a good start.
Anyway, it’s funny stuff. Go read it all.
Great stuff. The “sets the city on flood” from the last issue must’ve been popular.
Vatican teams up with Warner Bros. to repackage St. John of the Cross as medieval Batman in “Dark Knight of the Soul.”
LOL
Links at left side of page still hilarious.
no one you know (1f5ddb) — 8/21/2008 @ 11:26 amA 15% reduction in the number of State residents…
Well, we could make a big dent on that number by returning all of the illegals to their respective countries, perhaps even exceed it.

mojo (8096f2) — 8/21/2008 @ 12:01 pmI find the article about a nuclear-powered car colliding with a Bummer in the San Fernando Valley rather intriguing. Fact is, in the mid 1960’s to early 1970’s, the Nike missile site at Van Nuys Airport had about a dozen Nike missiles with nuclear warheads. Not movie warheads, but real, atomic powdered, mushroom cloud forming nuclear warheads. As well, all the other Nike-Hercules sites around LA had nuclear tipped missiles as well, nestled safely down in their concrete magazines. A little over 300 warheads in all around the greater Los Angeles area. Guess what? Nothing ever happened! No explosions, no radiation, no contamination. No 9/11’s. Unless you mean Porsche’s.

As Seinfeld aptly noted years ago: “All comedy comes from New York.”
Official Internet Data Office (066b46) — 8/21/2008 @ 2:09 pmI wonder if they’ll publish more of my Obama stuff on the Op-Ed page there?
Not David Ehrenstein (dc65ab) — 8/21/2008 @ 2:37 pm“All comedy comes from New York”?
I take that means you don’t like Steve Martin (from OC), Richard Pryor (Illinois), David Letterman (Indiana)? Shall I go on?
