Los Angeles Homeless Alert Blog - WE GOT AN UNMANAGAEABLE CRISIS AND GARCETTI IS DEAD AT THE WHEEL!: dummy

From ZD's inbox: Zuma@Mayor09.com:

Zuma,

Right about Tom LaBonge- he's get's out of control all the time. [ZD: To be fair, not ALL the time, just if "Mr. Griffith Park Community Spirit Violator" personally doesn't happen to like what Zuma Dogg is saying at the time; whether the City Attorney and Council President say it's o.k., or not.]

First, he doesn't listen well- once he's heard something that ticks him off, he doesn't hear anything else, so he has no idea of what is said next, including directives to not interrupt.

Next, he doesnt' stop talking, and he pulls out references to any experience he's had in life, regardless of whether his choices are relevant to the matter at hand.

On awards and presentations, he's on overtime in the council contest to slap praise and tribute on their chosen recipients.

Tom needs to think about what he's going to say and cut it in half, preferably more. Or he can just think about what he's going to say.If he could do that, we might get a big reduction in the greenhouse gases around city hall.

If all council members could see themselves on video, they might change their behavior- all of them to varying degrees need improvement.

Just like they tell the public comment people who want more time, "If you have more, you can submit it in writing." That would be a good filtering device for them to follow.

Maybe they have gone off the scale of normalcy in their conduct because they've had a few years of being bombarded by their beloved Antonio as their role model in verbosity and deception.

BTW, WHO had to jump up after your comment segment that included a welcome back to Eric from his "Hawaiian Vacation" and emphasized he was NOT on vacation but "in service to his country" with the NAVY? Wasn't it Tom? Well, duty around Hawaii must be a tad better than, say, the Gulf of Guinea. Poor Eric, what CAN you do with Tom?

Observing from Eagle Rock.

[ZD: Zine is the one who stood up to further clarify as to what Garshady was doing in Hawaii. And although ZD did not say, "Welcome back from vacation" or make any reference as to how the time was spent -- AT LEAST ZINE WAITED UNTIL I WAS DONE...AND THEN MADE A BREIF COMMENTS AS ALLOWED IN THE BROWN ACT! Richard alarCON also felt the need to weigh in with additional follow-up comments to ZD -- AND HE WAITED UNTIL I WAS DONE, AS WELL. So clearly Tom is just a dumb, bully who happens to be in violation of the law as well.]

BREAKING NEWS...COUNCILMEMBER JACK WEISS ACTUALLY STAYS SEATED FOR AN ENTIRE COUNCIL MEETING IN 2008!: Let me tell ya...I gotta believe that yesterday's LA Daily Blog post about Jack Weiss and his City Attorney campaign rocked Jackass' world. Why? He was cemented into his seat ALL MEETING LONG, from public comment -- all the way through. HIS ASS WAS CRAZY GLUED TO HIS SEAT! It really made me realize how I have never seen the guy sit through a full meeting like his other Councilchumps who schlep it out with Zuma Dogg and the rest of the people beneath Weiss! (I told Garcetti if he couldn't take control of the situation, Zuma Dogg would get leverage over the situation. How fitting that Garshady wasn't even there today. LOL! If I had to guess, I would guess he was at some kind of "non-leadership" seminar or defending himself in some trial.)

SO THAT'S A MAJOR TRIUMPHANT VICTORY FOR THE PEOPLE: Not only for making Jackass have to sit through at least ONE full Council meeting, in 2008; but because it obviously proved that he felt enough pressure to make sure his Jackass was seated.

I read some of the questions from the blog post during public comment on City TV 35. But luckily, there is still a lot more to read from the memo. And Zuma Dogg's got nothing but time on his hands (two minutes at a time). PLUS, as a bonus reading...Zuma Dogg will be producing a new half hour public access show this week, to air right away -- and all the way through the campaign season. SO I WILL BE SPENDING TIME READING THE MEMO ABOUT JACK AND ANTHONY -- AMONG OTHER CITYWIDE ISSUES THIS ELECTION SEASON!

TOM LABONG VS WENDY GREUEL/CITY ATTORNEY/BROWN ACT: It's an agenda Tom, not a playbook -- and it's a Council meeting, not a gridiron. And it's the Brown Act, Tom, not your own team huddle where you are calling the shots as quarterback. I know you miss those days. But please do not try to re-live them on the Council floor. Because YOUR opinion regarding what Zuma Dogg is saying is completely meaningless on the Council floor when your superior-minded constituent has the floor.

IN OTHER WORDS: The Bong must have been hitting it again, because after repeated warnings from the City Attorney for Tom to stay seated and quiet when Big ZD is talking -- AND LET THE COUNCIL PRESIDENT AND CITY ATTORNEY RUN THE MEETING, YOU CONTROL FREAK BULLY TOM LEBONG! Later during the meeting, I waived CM LeBong over to talk to him and as soon as he was within earshot, I say, "I will shout you down at every public event from now on." (In reference to an ABC 7 News TV interview where instead of heckling The Bong, I honored his request to back up a little (EVEN THOUGH IT WAS ON THE OUTSIDE SIDEWALK -- AND I COULD HAVE F*CKED UP THE WHOLE SEGMENT!)

AND SINCE TOM LABONG CANNOT CONTROL HIMSELF NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES THE COUNCIL PRESIDENT AND CITY ATTORNEY TELL HIM TO SHUT UP AND SIT DOWN...

ZUMA DOGG WILL EXPRESS HIMSELF TO THE FULLEST EXTENT OF THE FIRST AMENDMENT AGAINST TOM LABONG IN ALL PUBLIC FORUMS OUTSIDE THE COUNCIL MEETING. AND HE WILL HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT WITH NO CONSIDERATION FROM ZUMA DOGG THE WAY MAYOR ANTONIO HAD TO DEAL WITH BOB AQUINO AND THE E.A.A.!

SEE YOU AT THE NEXT MEETING ABOUT GRIFFITH PARK, TOM! (Watch the playback from today's public comment. You can hear Wendy tell Tom to shut the f*ck up, sit down and leave it to the City Attorney. Way to go Wendy!)

And I don't think Tom likes to read the agendas (ask him about what he is about to vote on), so here is something for Tom to read while Zuma Dogg is speaking, since you can't seem to follow the game:

ZUMA DOGG WILL BE APPEARING AT VAN NUYS CITY HALL FOR PUBLIC COMMENT ON WEDNESDAY JULY 23, 2008. Please try and show up at Van Nuys City Hall if you are available to add your comments on behalf of the Valley.
