But I disagree with you blaming the problem on liberals. Conservative trickle down economics, also known as voo doo economics and supply side economics caused this disaster. The Republicans are not the party of fiscal conservatism, as they like to say. That’s propaganda.

Unfortunately our corporations own all of our media outlets and broadcast these lies 24/7. It’s gotten to the point where people think that spending their own tax dollars on schools, and infrastructure is an “earmark.”

Meanwhile, out tax dollars are wasted by Republicans on no-bid contracts and “bailouts” for their criminal friends.

The Democrats inherited this mess. In fact, if they appointed some real liberals, we wouldn’t be in this situation much longer. Geithner, the Treasury Secretary is NOT a liberal. He favors Wall St and thinks the taxpayers should hand over our money to them with no strings attached.

Webmaster, how about some topics on where latinos stand on the stimulus package?

Just so you know, latinos are treated like noveleros, because as from this crazy blog about an idiot, that’s all we want to discuss…CHANGE THE FORUM TO SOME REAL TOPICS, like the spending bill being passed for a stimulus bill.

Again, you haven’t answered the question. What has Nunez done wrong?

Boyarsky invited me precisely because I wrote about Fabian Nunez and his links to organized crime, er, elected officials, in southeast cities such as Bell, Huntington Park, Maywood, Cudahy and Bell Gardens. Bill asked me in front of his students: “do you really think that Fabian is really connected to corruption in Southeast cities?”

I’ve spent the past 4 years outlining in report after report just such connections, linking to public record documents and posting reports on watchOurCity.com.

Fabian is as corrupt as corrupt can get. He really can’t help himself. It is unfortunate about his son. Not to apologize, but his son’s troubles can be considered collateral damage of a cortupt public official.

Fabian is actually quite smart. what a fantastic public servant he could’ve been. such a lost oppportunity.

Incidentally, Boyarsky quit the Ethics Commission because the mayor had none.

Once he and I exchanged soom one-upmanship challenges about which is more corrupt, Santa Ana or Huntington Park. I even wrot an article about this on my blog (http://watchourcity.com/Notes_From_Editor_10-04-07_IvyLeague_Ask_A_Mexican.html).

To make Gustavo’s point recalling his own quote about Villaraigosa, i noted:

“It is Gustavo who once quite presciently wrote that
“There are more styles of Mexican regional music…..than skeletons in that pinche pocho Villaraigosa’s closet” (“Ask
a Mexican does L.A.”, L.A. Weekly, December 7, 2005). No term of endearment is meant here with “pinche pocho”.

Gustavo, thank you for those gems.

Speak for yourself.

No offense, but your column is more of an embarassment, especially that graphic that shows the Mexican guy with the messed up tooth.

But if it earns you a living… And you have the nerve to say that Nunez is an embarassment? LOL

OK, one is hostile to gay rights.

State Senator Lou Correa (D-Santa Ana) has taken contributions from one of the top donors of the Protect Marriage Act.

Lou Correa is a Latino Dem, and he hasn’t been too fond of gay rights. He even abstained from voting on a domestic partnership bill back in 2003.

No, it isn’t. All of the Latino democratic politicians are supportive of gay issues.
