Come Heckle Antonio!

| | Comments (1) |

So while our mayor is out saving the world, the mayor of Philadelphia is up to something somewhat more pedestrian: He's waiting in line to buy an iPhone. And his constituents are taking advantage of the opportunity to give him an earful -- chewing him out for standing in line on a workday, rather than doing the city's business. The mayor, however, swears that, thanks to modern technology like the iPhone, he can do his work just as well on a street corner as he can in City Hall. (Great! Let's shut down City Hall!)

Oh, how fun it would be to see Antonio face his constituents in a similar manner. Of course, that would never happen here in L.A., where city pols have staffers to go wait in line (or babysit, right Rocky?) for them.

Come on, Philly, you call that a mayor?

To many Junkets. Why isn't L.A.'s mayor here taking care of local matters instead of junketing off to D.C. supporting a flawed immigration bill? Why just last week my foursome was approaching a hole on the back nine at Woodley Lakes city golf course when 32 (we counted them) Canadian Geese come lazily marching in tight formation across the green as if legally entitled to be there. These migrants have like so many others found L.A. a soft spot to land and stay. Why? Becuse our mayor has become somewhat of a politically ambitious migrant himself instead of staying at home taking care of business. Canada? Yes thats were he belongs.
