LADailyBlog News Wire For Tuesday Morning

MAYBE HE THOUGHT NO ONE WOULD NOTICE AS LONG AS ROBIN KRAMER IS CHARGE:
Los Angeles Times - Opinion: Voters will have to decide if the mayor's travels to campaign for Hillary Clinton are hurting or helping the city. The Times reported Monday that Villaraigosa has spent 18 of the last 65 days out of town, campaigning for Clinton. In just over two months, that's nearly a third of his time. Traveling with him are City Hall aides (using vacation days) and his police security detail. Is Los Angeles winning or losing from this arrangement? (See article under "Zuma's News Wire")

HILLARY IS HOT: Don't confuse the commentary with support, but Hillary has finally found her voice, and has been kicking ass this weekend in Ohio, and Monday night in Texas. Not that she would have been able to stop the Obama train, but I think she would he a hell of a lot better off, today...if the campaign was just starting based on how she is finally doing the best that she has done in front of the cameras. (Even if her voice is still annoying in big crowds, that won't be a factor after the election.)

WEAK DOLLAR: Glad I don't have any! Former Fed Greenspan was heard suggesting to the United Arab Emirates to dump the dollar. (I wonder if they can pay Related Co in foreign currency for the Royal Family of Dubai's investment at Grand Avenue Project. And CNBC reported that some NYC retailers are now accepting the Euro.


GOLD & COMMODITIES ARE HOT:
Even Calpers has pulled out of Grand Ave Project and dumped money into commodities. Some say it's all a bubble is going to burst, but others (like ZD) feel it is demand based and will keep rising. Jim Cramer says gold is going to $1600 and silver is just as good. Plus the agriculture sector.StrategyUpdate.com for 24 hour gold and metal charts and Wall Street analysis by global economy guru MC Zuma Dogg.


MATT DOWD COMMENTS ON VENICE BEACH:
CM Bernard Parks warned that Tennie Pierce's dog food settlement would be cheaper, while CM Dennis Zine says you gotta fight for your right/no settlements. (See thread below for extra $1.6 million on top of it all.) Not that this has anything to do with that...unless it does. (See first comment of this thread for more.)
