L.A.City News Tweets for Saturday, January 29, 2011

First of all, fresh off the heels of being quoted in L.A. Times on Council giving Eli Broad $52 million that ZD can argue is an illegal transfer (seeds planted in the tweets below) --

MAYOR SAM'S BLOG give Zuma Dogg a very nice, mega-prop! And very glad he caught this recent ZD item on CLARTS fund!

FAMOUS FIRST WORDS?:
Blogger Zuma Dogg said:
Anyone reading this know about the CLARTS fund? It's been something I've been hearing about for the past year, but there is elevated bamboozle-chatter on it. How much rolling up of the sleeves is this issue going to require?

(ANSWER: I guess a lot!)
AND HERE'S WHAT MAYOR SAM HAD TO SAY IN RESPONSE:

"Say what you want about Zuma Dogg, but his coverage is almost, always right and CLARTS has been on his shadar for some time. The spinners can hate on the Caucasian Scott J., but Zuma is the Gospel" (source)

HOW INSIGHTFUL..AND THE CREATION OF A NEW WORD..."SHADAR!" (Gotta start using that!) I happen to be linking to a lot of comments and posts on Michael Highby's Mayor Sam blog for some of my new readers (You'll see all the links, below, in this exact blog post!)
