An excerpt from Eric Garcetti's diary

L.A. City Councilbeing Eric Garcetti is writing this week's Slate Diary.

Here's my version:

Then, on Monday I mulled over the latest proposition from the Neighbors for Peace and Justice. Sure, that bit about only invading Iraq if we were directly and militarily invaded by Iraq was either disingenuous or just stupid, but what do my constituents expect of me? So, let's make that the law!

I was out of breath from all that thinking, so I took a breather and went to the AM/PM in Atwater Village for ~~some hot dogs and a Big Gulp~~ one of those frozen fruit bars (they're only about 100 calories and, unlike ice cream bars, some of which have 50% of your saturated fat, they have no fat).

Then, I jumped back into my solar-powered car and my driver drove me to sign another proclamation declaring L.A. the Ellis Island of the West Coast. Once again the question is: disingenuous or just stoopid?

UPDATE: I decided to pimp those frozen fruit things and I changed what Eric bought at the AM/PM.
