Ladies of Los Angeles, pwn your breasts!
H. David Nahai, new head honcho at LADWP, supports and enjoys the department’s “lactation service.” The LA Times, in their usual tsking and clucking way, handholds the women participating in this employee program: About 50 stern-faced mothers who work at the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power confronted the agency’s board Tuesday and won the ability to keep using lactation services provided as a benefit of employment. [snip] Agency officials say the benefit has been available to employees since 1988.

How to report abandoned car in Los Angeles.
After writing about Officer Gina Chovan above, it reminds me of when I saw Chief Bratton speak a couple of months ago. I must say he was impressive and attractive, and his intensity was….sexy. But does he realize what goes on down below? We are the people. The other day I was upset to see a stolen, stripped car on our extremely nice street, a black Acura sitting on its painful brake pads, no wheels. Scattered all around were shiny bolts or whatever holds the tires on. (I was mad at myself, too, because I think I heard a loud noise around 5 AM, but I thought it was just…
