Los Angeles Times on Matricula Consular cards - 9/27/2005

... Delson and Anna Gorman of the Los Angeles Times cover the latest on Mexico's Matricula Consular cards (aka "IDs for illegals") in "Mexico's ID Makes Major Gains in U.S.". They report that other countries are getting into the act, including Colombia, Argentina, El Salvador and Honduras.

Pentagon inspector general under scrutiny... by the Los Angeles Times? - 9/26/2005

The article "The Scrutinizer Finds Himself Under Scrutiny" from T. Christian Miller reports that some are raising questions about the activities of the recently resigned Pentagon inspector general, Joseph E. Schmitz. In light of posts such as "Watchdog [Clark Kent Erwin] details confrontations with Ridge", this certainly sounds interesting.

Gregory Rodriguez supports illegal aliens taking rebuilding jobs from Americans - 9/26/2005

Los Angeles Times contributing editor Gregory Rodriguez offers "La Nueva Orleans". That discusses how illegal aliens from Mexico and other countries will help rebuild New Orleans. He says that they will then settle there, displacing the original population of blacks and whites. Of course, if we were talking about whites displacing blacks and Hispanics that would be considered racist, but...

Border watchers attacked; L.A. Times downplays incident, gloats - 9/19/2005

From "Border watchers attacked during training session": A group called Gente Unita confronted volunteer border watchers in San Diego yesterday with obscenities, shoving and U.S.

Los Angeles Dog Trainer-Enquirer-Times fires Michael Kinsley - 9/13/2005

The L.A. Times has forced out recently-demoted editorial page editor Michael Kinsley. He's issued the following voluntary confession: "...For whatever reason... [publisher Jeff Johnson] isn't merely uninterested in any future contribution I might make, but actively wants me gone. So I'm off, with some regret and some excitement, to the Washington Post, duties TBD but including ...

L.A. Times newsflash: the citizens are angry about illegal immigration - 8/01/2005

The Los Angeles Times reports in "Anger Boils at Illegal Immigrants" about a meeting held Thursday of last week at Pico and LaCienega sponsored by Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson and the Brotherhood Organization of a New Destiny. The confab was called "Blacks and Hispanics: Allies or Rivals?" The L.A. Times is now free to report that non-PC thoughts were thought, and non-PC statements...

Marcela Sanchez: historical facts, analysis are extremist - 7/30/2005

Marcela Sanchez apparently writes a weekly column for the Washington Post about Latin America. Unfortunately, she seems to be going for that small number of WaPo readers who aren't able to use search engines and who think that trying to learn a lesson from history is extremist.

Schwarzenegger redistricting measure proposition 77: off the ballot - 7/21/2005

A Superior Court judge has ordered Arnold Schwarzenegger's redistricting measure (Proposition 77) to be removed from the ballot.

AP, BS, and "U.S. Anti-Immigration Movement Spreads" - 7/20/2005

Duncan Mansfield of the AP offers us a roundup about the spread of offshoots of the Minuteman Project to several states around the nation. The original AP title of the piece appears to be "U.S.

Sources say: Larry Ellison out of L.A. - 7/11/2005

The Los Angeles Times' Hot Properties column has done some investigative journalism and wants to know why Oracle CEO and billionaire Larry "Lawrence" Ellison is buying up a bunch of properties in Malibu. In the past two years, Lawrence has spent $180 million for real estate in the beachside enclave, most of it for houses rather than commercial property. Note that Oracle is based in ...

AVWatch: The L.A. Times covers its bets - 7/02/2005

The Los Angeles Times has a few reports on the inauguration of Antonio Villaraigosa, and they also offer "Much Unsaid in Villaraigosa's Inaugural Talk". Summary: in his speech, AV had a lot of big ideas, but few details were provided and he's going to have a very difficult task making them happen. The LAT has been a long-time supporter of the former member of a racial separatis...

AVWatch: How is he going to pay for all this stuff? - 7/01/2005

The Los Angeles Times has a 7-screener entitled "Promises, Promises Could Cost L.A. Millions, Billions". $140 million to plant trees? To pay for all of his proposals, former MEChA member and current L.A. mayor Antonio Villaraigosa might propose a half-cent sales tax hike next year. That's not going to sit too very well with some people...

AVWatch: An Antonio Villaraigosa roundup - 6/08/2005

... events and associations that the Los Angeles Times and all other MSM sources refuse to cover here. I'd suggest sending that link to public *at* nytimes.com and onlinenewshour *at* newshour.org and ask them to cover the issues that the LAT, Newsweek, and all the rest conveniently ignore.

ACLU: "Cowboys" enforcing immigration laws - 6/06/2005

Welcome to the Los Angeles Times' little world. In that world, it's unusual to enforce our immigration laws. Needless to say, the ACLU lives there too. Unfortunately, our "homeland security president" and his underlings live in that very same world. From the LAT comes "Local Police, U.S.

Where'd Antonio go? - 5/15/2005

I used to have an acquaintance whose signature phrase was, "I'll be right back." He'd come back hours or days later. He was also an occasional actor, and I think he'd be perfect for a new round of Antonio Villaraigosa campaign commercials. As a preview of what a Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa would be like, reporters wanted to question him about a negative (believe it or do...

Jackie Goldberg's "socialist" leanings - 5/14/2005

... either March 8 or 9 of 2004 the Los Angeles Times printed a story about California Assemblywoman Jackie Goldberg (Democrat-Los Angeles) getting married to her long-time lesbian partner Sharon Stricker up in San Francisco (during Gavin Newsom's big moment). The L.A.

Endorsement: Jim Hahn for Mayor of Los Angeles - 3/09/2005

Barring a challenge by Bob Hertzberg, it looks like May's run-off election will be a repeat of that from four years ago, with Antonio Villaraigosa vs. the incumbent Jim Hahn. I strongly endorse Jim Hahn and I urge you to support him.

I'm embarrased for both UPI and the Middle East North Africa Financial Network - 2/20/2005

If they went to Utah their heads would explode... - 12/24/2004

It's only 80 miles from the headquarters of the L.A. Times to Murrieta deep in "red California." But, to the L.A. Times, it's like going to Mars: "In GOP They Trust": ...This devout Mormon couple, whose Boy Scout son Christopher marched on Veterans Day with his uniformed pals from Troop 524, will not see a movie that is rated R. They lump Whoopi Goldberg in with Dan ...

"Safety's Not No. 1" - 12/15/2004

Heather MacDonald: Now that the Bernard Kerik nomination has crashed and burned, President Bush should ask the next candidate for Department of Homeland Security chief the most important question for the job: Will you enforce the law against border trespassers? ...Yet fear of offending the race and rights lobbies has trumped national security at DHS.

It's Conspiracy Theory Sunday - 12/12/2004

From August 25, 1998's "Total Coverage: The CIA, Contras, and Drugs": ...top officials at the CIA knew the agency was working with Contra drug traffickers and didn't do anything about it. But the story, even with that shocking headline, quickly disappeared. None of the other major papers, news magazines, or TV networks reported the NEW YORK TIMES' findings. How did it com...

"Calif. Dems Block July 4th Tribute to Vietnam Hero" - 7/03/2004

NewsMax has picked up the story covered in yesterday's post: "Calif. Dems Block July 4th Tribute to Vietnam Hero". It's based on John Campbell's report, with no new information. But, to recap: Democrats usually turn livid over the slightest hint that their patriotism is being challenged.

The other lame 'Times' - 5/19/2004

... big speech: The editor of the Los Angeles Times telling reporters how to behave ethically is a complete contradiction, like ... oh, I don't know ... giving Yasser Arafat a Nobel Peace Prize or something. You know, just patently silly. This is the same L.A.

Michael Kinsley now working for the L.A. DogTrainer-Enquirer-Times - 4/28/2004

... editorial and opinion editor of the Los Angeles Times. Some of the Captain's commentators aren't happy with it. You see, Kinsley is a mite too conservative for some. Geez, imagine what would happen if they'd named a real conservative. Oh, wait, that would never happen. I fail to see what's in it for Kinsley. The L.A. Times is a second-rate paper in - let's face it - a sec...
