HERE'S THE POSTS FROM 6/7/11 THAT TRIGGERED THE POST ABOVE: LAPD ADMITS TO CONSTITUENT WHY COPS CRACK DOWN ON ZUMA DOGG AT VENICE BEACH, BUT NOT ILLEGAL FOOD VENDORS (Hey Villar...It's ON, MUTHERFUCKER!)

MORE ON ZUMA DOGG: L.A. City Councilmembers and Local Media Weigh In With Comments About L.A.'s Local Phenomenon, "Zuma Dogg"

* "Zuma Dogg has done a lot of good for the people of Los Angeles. He's a good man. - L.A. City Councilman Dennis P. Zine (Thanks, Denny! Means a lot coming from a future City Controller candidate! Aren't you glad you said that on camera!)

* "You're actually one of my favorite people to watch on TV." - Former L.A. Mayor Richard Riordan to Zuma Dogg on KABC radio.

* "Brain-seizing artistry. A local underground superstar. -D. Harvey/LA Weekly

* "A public access icon." - M. Fleischer/LA Weekly

* "Local Legend" - Doug McIntyre/KABC, Red-Eye Radio

* Featured on ABC News Nightline, CBS2, KNBC4, KABC7, KCAL9, FOX11 TV and KFI, KABC, K-TALK & KRLA radio as L.A.'s most recognized and respected citizen voice.

* "Zuma Dogg fought the oppressive, tightly controlled L.A. City Council meetings presided over by Council President Eric Garcetti, who had banned video cameras. After police tried to stop Zuma Dogg from taping the council deliberations, he railed against the big shots for months, slamming Garcetti as “Garshady” on his show and on his whistleblower blog. “Whatever happened to free speech in this country?,” Zuma Dogg asked. He prevailed against Garcetti’s rules, and now brings his cameracorder to every council meeting, as can any member of the public thanks to him." - LA Weekly.

* " Zuma Dogg has distinguished himself as a "mix of curiosity and crusader" fighting for what he considers his free-speech rights."He's been able to do it with humor and at times be more direct and substantive." Los Angeles City Council President Eric Garcetti/Los Angeles Times

* "An original ... another treasure of Venice." - Los Angeles City Councilman Bill Rosendahl

* " A civic treasure." - Michael Higby/Mayor Sam's Blog (L.A. politics)

* "I've seen your show on TV. Keep doing what you're doing." - Dennis Franz

* "Zuma Dogg, not only one of the most recognizable figures at City Hall, cordially greeted by passersby, including security guards and Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, he also has the ear of high-level insiders, who feed him information in the hope that he’ll expose, and possibly stop, one questionable government project or another." - LA Weekly (Click here for article.)

* ""He wakes us up; it gets everyone's attention." L.A. City Controller Wendy Greuel/Los Angeles Times

(GOOD! I THINK IT WOULD HAVE BEEN ENOUGH FOR MOST PEOPLE, IF MY ONLY DISTINCTION WAS WAKING THEM UP!)

* "Something between stunned and amazed. "I've never seen anything like it." - Former California Assembly Speaker, Councilman Herb Wesson/Los Angeles Times

THANKS TO THE NEARLY 10,000 PEOPLE who voted for "Zuma Dogg" in the last Los Angeles Mayoral election. (Not a bad number to pull, considering the historically low voter turnout, and the fact that ZD didn't spend a penny on his campaign, and didn't have the luxury of one flier." The mayor spent $3 million, just for comparison.)

* "Zuma Dogg, who is smarter than and knows more about city government than most Council members, has become something of an urban folk hero, skewering City Hall foibles and failures in his frequent public comment appearances broadcast on Channel 35. His campaigns for mayor and now CD2 attracted respectable numbers of votes for a candidate who was not only is penniless but homeless." - Ron Kaye/RonKayeLA.com (IMAGINE IF I HAD PENNIES TO WORK WITH!)

* "It would be nice to see someone with the heroism of Zuma Dogg in office." - Kevin James/870-KRLA Radio

* "I too, as you may know, am a Deming fan. I think your synthesis of his work is fabulous." - Anthony Robbins (Tony was kind enough to bow down to me on his stage in front of thousands of people, during a seminar that was being simulcast across the country. I am told that was the first and only time he did that. Awe shucks!)

* "Very Well Done." - Dr. W. Edwards Deming on "Interpreting Deming's 14 Points," by Zuma Dogg. (Published internationally in "Quality Digest.")

* "I especially liked your of explanation Deming's more controversial points." - Don Dewar/Publisher, Quality Digest

* "You not only took our ideas, but expanded them in ways I thought were very interesting." - Al Ries ("Marketing Warfare," "22 Immutable Laws of Marketing," "Focus.") - L.A. has a marketing problem.

Zuma Dogg Political Strategy Advice For AUSTIN BEUTNER (Based on his comments in Los Angeles Times) PLUS: L.A. City News Tweets for 5/31/11


Austin, my man...you're WAY better at making money, than Zuma Dogg...but when it comes to being your own political spin guy...not so much.

From L.A. Times Op-Ed:
Jim Newton: The race to succeed Mayor Villaraigosa: Beutner has just wrapped up 18 months of working for the government as the $1-a-year "first deputy mayor."

That puts Beutner in an awkward position. When I asked whether he imagined himself running as heir to Villaraigosa's legacy, he answered with studied caution. He was proud, he said, of the administration's record for the 18 months that he was part of it.

Zuma Dogg, who thinks AB is the best solution of the candidates mentioned, so far, for "fixing the city," offers this response in hopes he doesn't blow it with people. Austin, you DID NOT CREATE THIS MESS...and no matter how many hats (or crowns) you've been wearing the past 18 months...DO NOT TRY TO GIVE THE PERCEPTION THAT YOU WERE ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH THINGS IN THE MIDDLE OF TEXTBOOK DYSFUNCTION (Aka: Antonio's Administration!) IT DOES NOT MATTER IF YOU REALLY DID ACCOMPLISH GREAT THINGS...because public perception is that City Hall is on fire. You can't convince victims of Japan reactor meltdown that, "We did SOME things RIGHT!" Again...I'm sure you did MAGIC, given the circumstances...but if you try to sell the public, when they ain't buyin' that...they will nix you instead of punch your chad. HERE'S SOMETHING THAT WON'T MAKE PEOPLE THINK YOU ARE Antonio in a suit for someone taller:

From: Mayoral Campaign Strategy for AUSTIN BEUTNER: Because Zuma Dogg already sees him walking into "human nature" pitfalls: AUSTIN BEUTNER: Some un-paid strategy from the master: When asked about being heir to Villar's City Hall legacy, as deputy mayor...do NOT try to spin, "Proud of achievements (list achievements) over past 18 months." The ONLY answer you can give is:

"I'm flattered that the mayor brought me on board, at city hall, to help figure some things out. Of course, I wasn't elected into the position, and it's not like I had control of the steering wheel. But it did give me tremendous insight, knowledge and experience as to how all city departments operate; where the problems lie; and understanding as to what it will take to, 'fix the city," as mayor. - (What) Austin Beutner (Should Be Saying)
  • 1st thing Villar-backed LAUSD school board approved. ZD protested at meeting!: LAUSD health benefits for part-timers. NOW, $60 million SURPLUS, now in the red!!!! WAY TO GO ANTONIO. Everything you touch, turns to crap. - http://lat.ms/lWdeFG 3 minutes ago

  • NO OFFENSE to Mayor Sam's "Home of L.A. Politics" blog, but if you don't even post about Villar's leaked memo on FBI investigation, are you? 46 minutes ago
  • @Villaraigosa: How does it feel to go from "Mr. Everyone LOVES Ya," to not being able to walk L.A. city streets/need wall around your home? about an hour ago
  • If Villaraigosa doesn't shut his chump mouth, soon, I think he's gonna be 1st mayor in history to get his ass kicked/beat down by angry mob. about an hour ago

Zuma Dogg on Zev Yaroslavsky As L.A. Mayoral Candidate

[Pictured: One SWELL guy! Moe Howard's Estate called. They want his act back!]

SUMMARY: DO NOT VOTE FOR ZEV YAROSLAVSKY FOR L.A. MAYOR! (Look at his record and performance as Los Angeles Board of County Stupidvisors.)

Board of County Supervisors (BOS) are FAR WORSE than L.A. City Council; and based on my review of Stupidvisor Yaroslavsky's performance, at the BOS meetings, as televised throughout the county...MOE HOWARD'S ESTATE CALLED: They say, "Ceast and Desist on the 'Moe from 3 Stooges' Act."

So Zev is a career politician, who has sat on his lazy, bureaucratic ass for twenty years, or so, in the same seat, as the county slid right into the toilet, under his brilliant analysis, assessments and voting record. (He paid $200,000 to have his social network set up for him. (Didn't YOU set up you facebook, twitter and blog, for free, by yourself? Even if he had to pay someone to do it, $200,000??? What does HE care...not HIS money.)

So more to come on Zev "The 4th Stooge" Yarboslobsky: But finally, here's what concerns me about his campaign for mayor, if he chooses to run. (And I say he still might not run, cause Austin Beutner, the city hall-backed candidate, has retained the political consulting services of Ace "Avril" Smith. So that means Zev is gonna be DESTROYED in the mailer attack campaign. And Ace is known to get UGLY. REEEEEEEEEEEEEEAL U-G-L-Y!!! (So I don't know if Zev wants to endure that type of whipping.)

But here's what concerns me about Zev's campaign (positive for Zev): He's currently a long-standing Board of County Supervisor. He has union support and big support from his years and years in that position. And BOS is WAY bigger than City Council, in the fact that they oversee more and make decisions on much bigger money and projects. And everyone knows, these elected officials benefit in their campaigns by the leverage and even infrastructure of their office and position. And here's why:

Imagine if you are a big shot who DOES NOT SUPPORT ZEV and he wins?: OH MAN, are YOU on the out...better take your chances with Zev!!! Because, guess what? If he LOSES...oh no...his ass is still "Krazy Glued" to his BOS seat, and he'll still be voting on all those big projects and money. (Hope you don't have business with the city OR county, if you don't support Zev.)

I don't think any of these amateur. chump-change councilmembers will me able to mount the political infrastructure to beat Austin and Zev in the run-off. (Even though I think Jan Perry will surprise people with the amount of support and money she raises, out of the gate, compared to Garcetti. And Wendy...buh bye! City Hall threw you under the bus on the "Gold Card" ticket fix story, letting everyone know, you either HAD to know about it, or were a moron. Plus, you are too cold and do not even have the ability to be warm and fuzzy, like the despicable Antonio, Garcetti and these other phonies. AND AGAIN...it ain't gonna be the smooth sailing, like it was when you ran for controller against two grass root candidates with $50 bucks spent, between them. (You'll be fighting for union/billionaire share by TOO many other elected insiders. Riordan is backing Austin...when YOU used to be his gal. May as well pull the plug now, to save face on election day.)

So Zev will get support, cause if not...you're almost screwed, either way.

But Zuma Dogg predicts Austin Beutner would DEFEAT Zev Yaroslobsky in a run-off, because ULTIMATELY, people will have had enough of the same, old, tired, elected officials...Ace Smith will DESTROY ZEV in the run-off election...and all the movers and shakers have already fallen in love with Beutner -- and the more who meet him, the more who will jump on his bandwagon.

Anyway...whoever decides to run...if Zev runs...vote for ANYONE ELSE! (And you have a nice day!)
