LA Daily Blog TWITTER Update for Saturday August 14, 2010 (Zuma Dogg, Barack Obama, Richard Riordan, L.A. City Council, Deming's 14 Points, Pensions)

Mainly, I'm cranky today, because I REALLY HAVE had enough of all the increasing hot air being blown to increase efficiency, reduce waste, more accountability/transparency and job creation -- WITHOUT ANY OF YOU WINDBAGS COMMITTING TO LEARNING DEMING'S 14 POINTS OF QUALITY MANAGEMENT. And the other issue, is this week Richard Riordan -- AND NOW U.S. PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA has addressed the downside of having government money (LIKE L.A. CITY PENSION MONEY) invested on Wall Street. MORE BELOW VIA TWEETS. Hopefully, this will shame some of you into at least secretly studying Deming's 14 points. Can't wait till one of you BLOW ME AWAY...cause many of you are MUCH BIGGER GENIUSES in the areas where this stuff comes in handy! PLEASE! SOMEONE TAKE MY CROWN. And remember, regarding the pension money...it is overly invested in overly-risky, non-investment grade "alternative investments" on Wall Street. (Which is basically a wink and a handshake from some of these people who plead guilty over all of this. AND, I remind you the CAO's office reminds ZD, "As goes Wall Street, goes the city's treasury." (ARE YOU WILLING TO RISK IT.) AND FINALLY, YES, the reason libraries are closed, and people are furloughed/laid off/not working and all the additional side effects of this budget crisis IS BEING DEALT WITH TODAY, NOT over structural pension problems down the line that haven't gotten here yet, BUT BECAUSE OF TWO WORDS, "investments" and "alternative" (not necessarily in that order). STAY SHALLOW, NUTTY & DIVERTED! ZD

  1. U.S. President Barack Obama joins Richard Riordan and Zuma Dogg in addressing risk of investing social security (pension) money on Wall St.
  2. Writing screenplay based on TRUE story about major city that goes bankrupt and shuts services over "alternative investments" pension $ loss.
  3. Until flow charts of city processes are created in order for managers and council to examine, NOTHING WILL HAPPEN EXCEPT SHOE-LACE TRIPPING!
  4. I'm sure if you asked @EricGarcetti about 14 Points, he would tell you all ABOUT Deming, but not explanation of 14 points. BIG difference.
  5. The first, most beneficial thing a blogger/NC member/activist could possibly do to present to city, is create flow charts of city processes!
  6. IF NEIGHBORHOOD COUNCIL/BLOGGERS/ACTIVISTS want to do something REALLY WORTHWHILE for city, create flow charts of city processes! SERIOUSLY!
  7. CAN YOU IMAGINE an EMS worker who never learned CPR? But YOU wanna blog and weigh-in on city operations w/out knowledge of 14 pts. LOL!
  8. I LIKE BEING THE SMARTEST, MOST BRILLIANT, GENIUS WHEN I WALK INTO THE ROOM: So PLEASE, do NOT study 14 pts of quality & efficiency.
  9. About the dumbest, biggest foot-in-mouth, DUMMY thing you can say is, "job creation" WITHOUT KNOWLEDGE OF 14 POINTS. SHEER NUTTY INSANITY!
  10. If you talk of "doing more with less," "transparency & accountability & "reducing waste" w/out quoting 14pts, YOU ARE EMBARRASSING YOURSELF!
  11. Which of Deming's 14 points will allow you to understand why, "a seat at the table" at city hall is MEANINGLESS until you do something 1st?
  12. QUALITY QUIZ: Which of Deming's 14 points will allow you to understand why replacing councilmembers with new ones won't work as first step.
  13. DON'T HAVE TO BE THAT SMART TO LOOK LIKE A GENIUS AMONGST L.A. ACTIVIST/NC BIGMOUTHS: ZD knows 14 points of TQM, you DON'T!
  14. Imagine, you were going into surgery and found out surgeon never studied medical processes? But you weigh in on city w/out 14 pts knowledge?
  15. To try and offer city solutions w/out knowledge of 14 pts is like guitarist trying to play Zeppelin solo w/out practicing scales. PAINFUL!
  16. To pontificate on city workings w/out knowledge of 14 pt is like taxi driver without knowledge of city streets or a map. Just drive around?
  17. SERIOUSLY, you CANNOT consider yourself an effective or knowledgeable city activist if you are not as big an expert on 14 pts as you can.
  18. I'm not saying you need to pass the bar to be mayor, but if you flunk it 4 times, probably a bad sign. Ironic may can't pass LAW exam. ;-)
  19. What if I told you your Nutty Neighborhood Council slush money was tied to pension money on Wall Street. Would you care, then? IT IS, DUMMY!
  20. "I’ve got to stop those who would gamble your Social Security on Wall Street." - Barack Obama 8/14/10 (Then you better stop L.A. Mayor!)
  21. RT @BarackObama: I’ll fight with everything I’ve got to stop those who would gamble your Social Security on Wall Street. (TOLD YOU DUMMIES!)
  22. I can't STAND when people tweet what song they are listening to. WHO CARES? That's why I made Zuma Music Radio, SO YOU CAN ACTUALLY LISTEN.
  23. Richard Riordan Talks PENSION MONEY ON WALL STREET as REASON CITY FACES BANKRUPTCY & LOSS OF SERVICES (PLEASE PAY AT... http://ow.ly/18zdxI
  24. CAN YOU IMAGINE HOW BITTER?: These tweets only capture drip of past 10 yrs of ZD. Imagine if it were all actually true? What would you say?
  25. Speaking of bitches, I hear that no talent creep David Arquette lives in THE REAL ZUMA DOGG's area. If he sees me, hope he keeps walking.
  26. HE SHOULD GIVE BACK THE MONEY: The only thing that no-talent, douchebag creep Jamie Kennedy did to get paid, was B-Rad (based on ZD). BITCH!
  27. Early on, when I still wasn't sure, a Hollywood bigshot said, "You're a one-of-a-kind phenomenon the likes of which people have never seen."
  28. In radio, NYC couldn't find ANYONE ELSE IN THE WORLD and ZD ended up in 1515 Viacom building; then became TV phenom; then activist icon.
  29. Alright, Fuck You...and goodnight. And I can say, "Fuck You" to you, cause whoever you are reading this, doesn't affect ZD one way or other.
  30. Do you think I'm going to be doing better tomorrow morning when I wake up, or worse than today? (I know where my theoretical money is on.)
  31. FOR THE KIDS!: Court documents: IVY ACADEMIA charter school official misused $200,000 in public funds: (WHAT!?!? Nooo!). http://bit.ly/bMuqY
  32. Ex-Mayor Riordan: Los Angeles Nearing Bankruptcy Los Angeles is at risk of going bankrupt by 2014, says... http://bit.ly/959slc
  33. I still have and can show you original emails from ZD Show fans saying things like, "I was not at all prepared for brilliance of your show."
  34. The reason I am nostalgic on the past 10 yrs of Zuma Dogg Show is cause I'm of belief IT'S OVER and time came and went. Now what?
