Mike McBride kills a pig.
Mike McBride kills a boar. Well, he didn’t do the actual knifing, or shooting, of course, but he likes to take all the credit at California Fish and Game, the biggest killing operation in California. In fact, he likes to claim all the animals Fish and Game kills each year. National Guard, take note of your competition! From the LA Times: A wild boar that reportedly chased people and smashed into a wrought-iron fence in Loma Linda on Wednesday was captured and will have to be euthanized, officials said. The boar was spotted roaming a residential neighborhood about 8 a.m. and was finally corralled and sedated by animal control officers,…

Maybe the Los Angeles Times just doesn’t like Mexicans.
Who says you can’t teach an old dog grey lady new tricks? I’m talking, of course, about the LA Times (which they call the Old Grey Lady.) Liberal bastion. Friend of the homeless. Empathizer of the poor. Yet they have changed their attitude, at least towards one poor group – our gangs. The Times has stopped giving them tongue-baths, and given them a slap on the backside! Watch. You all know me as the green, mean, Park activist machine, but did you also know how fond I am of the Avenues gang? I bet not! I wrote about the Avenidas, as they say, twice last year, both times in response…

No one wants to be pushed aside by a piece of noisy, smelly machinery. We already have cars for that. (Or, if they don’t have machinery, they might whoop and holler.) In any case, they squish things that should be left alive and moving. There is a proposal from the city (why is it that the city listens to bad ideas?) to allow mountain bikers to use non-paved trails in Griffith Park, and all City Parks. This includes the…

Noise pollution – who needs it?
Once again, Ivanhoe School gives the whole neighborhood the “gift” of amplified drums and “rock music” for 5 hours.[/sarcasm] The traffic isn’t that bad, nor the streets lined with cars – except for the time they blocked half our driveway – what a nincompoop. And the signs hung up on the fences for the 2 weeks before it are fun and festive. I appreciate anything that celebrates Halloween. But are drums the best accompaniment to their annual Halloween Party? Sucks. Totally NOT festive, and a really swell way to ruin the Saturday afternoon of the whole community. In case you are as annoyed as I am, their number is (323)…
