When is that Mickey Mouse-dummy, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villariagosa ever learn how to stop making these impossible, full of sh*t promises?
First he said he was going to plant a million trees. HOW'S THAT GOING, DOUCHETONIO? A total please? You are already running for re-election. You DID mean THIS term, right?
Then, he said he was going to preserve the Southwest Museum and not let the Autry's raid the collection and move it to Griffith Park. (Now the Autry's raided the collection and moved it/are moving it to Griffith Park.)
He declared that his AB 1381 would be vindicated in the highest court. That backfired, and he was sent home like every other loser who guesses wrong on the Price is Right. (Whomp, whomp, whomp, whomp....WHOooooooooomp!)
He had to shoot his dumb-mouth off about running on a "Family Values" platform, and THAT sure as hell backfired, for those of you who may of heard of that whole Mirthala Salinas incident.
He promised to hire 1000 new cops and the trash collection money was in a lockbox. But they didn't hire enough police, so the lock box ust have got broken into, cause Villaraigosa only hired 300 new cops and the rest of the money went for raises to secure his re-election with the union.
He promised to deliver the Latino vote to Hillary Clinton...except he promised it to the wrong person, so THAT backfired.
So then, he declared that he was going to now deliver the Latino vote to Barack Obama. But the only thing HE was delivering at the DNC convention were pizzas, as Barack gave Antonio a foot up his political ass, and practically had him banned from the building. Not giving Douchearaigosa ONE SECOND OF TIME AT THE CONVENTION...NOT EVEN DURING THE OFF AIR SEGMENTS.
BUT FORGET ABOUT ALL THAT...
Now the mayor is going to D-O-U-B-L-E the achievement rate at his LAUSD school cluster. (A parting gift for his Price Is Right AB 1381 Takeover loss.) So instead of the whole enchilada, he only gets a mini-tostado.
Now I know the first thing the mayor's spin-dummies will say is, "Well, it's always good to aim high." BUT HOW ARE YOU GOING TO DOUBLE THE ACHIEVEMENT? This whole thing is an experiment. How do you know, "double?"
So now, anything less is a defeat. Which is why the mayor should fire his inferior-minded, non-Milton Erickson understand, or Ries & Trout reading communication dummies.
I mean, "DOUBLE," Antonio? if you pulled off a 20% increase (by whatever shady standard of measurement, I think people would be pleased.
BUT, DOUBLE IT IS!!! Cause the mayor has to make these empty exhortations of that will only backfire. (See Deming.)
ZUMA DOGG PROMISES IF YOU VOTE ME IN AS MAYOR OF LOS ANGELES, I WILL REDUCE CRIME BY 100%!!! And DOUBLE the amount of good things that you care about!
(Before long, even the local LA media won't be covering the mayor's press b.s., and Villar will have to stand in line for public comment to be on TV, like ZD and everyone else.)
