Welcome Walter Richards!

Earlier tonight, KTLA's Walter Richards was lucky enough to chance upon the Lonewacko himself in the parking lot of the El Pollo Loco on Figueroa near USC. He had just finished shooting a story on the MTA fare hike. They had shot elsewhere, but were currently beaming their report back to Hal Fishman Center.

I brought up the subject of the BRU flyer which I covered here yesterday, and asked him whether he thought the fare hike was racist as the flyer claimed; he stated his opinion didn't matter, being a reporter and all. I gave him this URL, and suggested he check it out. Whether he will or not, I don't know. But, in case you the reader are Walter Richards, welcome, and my discussion of the flyer is here.

UPDATE: Walter didn't mention my blog in his live report. He actually referred to the BRU as "fearless;" somehow I can think of better adjectives, none favorable. And, their race baiting and attempt to heckle the MTA board was ineffective as well; perhaps next time they should try for a bit of logic and real-world analysis of the issues.
