ZUMA MAIL:

Zuma called me his ghost writer in a previous post. Though he agreed that he would not have said things like I posted them, he also agreed that for the most part were in his heart.

Okay today I sent him a very small amount of money....and then I called him and asked if he had receipt. He confirmed that and was most appreciative, but at the same time telling me that he would save it until tomorrow as he thought that he could get one more night on the streets without totally crashing.

My words to him were (after telling him a loud Zuma voice to shut up and listen), get the room tonight, you do not need to crash and then have to recover from doing that to yourself. The money I gave him only will cover a "we no tell" motel. Not the Ritz Carlton in LA that is scheduled to open.

YOU GUYS maybe need to pay attention. He is not seeking big bucks to survive, only us little people with little bucks. It was my payday today, so I could make a personal
donation. And you? Where are you at? I would hate to think that the majority of the readers on his blog are politicians who want to see him fail. I know that I am not.

Did the Los Angeles County sheriff's department break the law by obtaining and poring over the phone records of TMZ editor Harvey Levin, looking for evidence that a deputy leaked Mel Gibson's arrest file? Media groups say yes, the department says no. "That's illegal," Lucy Dalglish, an attorney and executive director of the Virginia-based Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press, told the L.A. Times. "Most law enforcement agencies know it's illegal . . . or have a hard time getting a judge signing off on it." Sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore says a judge did sign off on it, after a prosecutor said it was OK: "What we did we believe was legal." Ah, but there's more in the story:

Legal experts said the California Constitution protects journalists from being forced to reveal their sources.

State law, they said, also bars judges from issuing search warrants for unpublished information that is gathered by reporters....

She noted that Dist. Atty. Steve Cooley has a written policy on search warrants, which says they "cannot be used to obtain the source of any news information."

"He feels strongly about not infringing upon a reporter's rights," Gibbons said.

No charges were filed against a deputy involved in the Gibson case who was found to have made calls to Levin.

A Republican senator asks for more time to review it and consider amendments.

Homeboy Industries and Ralphs Grocery announce a partnership whereby Ralphs will be the first supermarket to sell signature salsas from Homegirl Café at its downtown Los Angeles supermarket.

Traders exited long positions to book profits in gold futures ahead of the weekend and in response to a stronger U.S. dollar.
