[img]2334|right|Prof. Levinson||no_popup[/img]Her full name is Jessica (Ah Hate, Ah Say Ah Hate Wasting the Lovely Taxpayers’ Hard-Earned Dollars on Extravagant Capitalistic Non-Necessities Such as, Ugh, Special Elections) Levinson.

Her bulky name, tapered to twin with her bulky anti-capitalist political philosophy, explains why she is on the faculty downtown of Loyola Law School rather than working for a living.

Jessie Baby thinks for a living. This is pretty darned sly of her, especially for a girl. This way, the clever liberal girl that she is, we never know whether she is rigorously toiling or snoring during working hours as she stretches her bulky frame across a slick floor.

Plainly, she has too much dull time between classes and probably not nearly enough gray stuff between her ears.

As a not too swift robot in a progressive party that believes it knows better than we do what is best for us, Jessie Baby, in this morning’s dreary edition of the Los Angeles Titanic, proposes to tell us voters how we should breathe even though no one solicited Joltin’ Jess-a-roo’s opinion because she belongs to that We All Think Alike and Isn’t It Sweet? Party.

Jessie (It’s My Party, and I Can Cry If I Want to) Baby asserted in a dry opinion piece that 18,000 Westsiders wasted their time the other day when they voted for Sebastian Ridley-Thomas to succeed state Sen. Empty Seat (D-Culver City) as our representative in the state Assembly’s 54th District.

Sharper than dried rain with a statistic, Jessie Baby said that it was a waste of $1 million of taxpayer funds since only 6.7 percent of voters participated. Better, she said, that Gov. Brown simply had appointed a replacement.

That way, Jessie (I Am So Comfortable Being Smart) Baby argued that the million bucks could have been judiciously spent on Sucker Obama’s phony food stamp program. You go, girl. Why not scrap elections altogether and let Sucker Obama appoints whomever he likes that day. That should not tax his modest mind too heavily. Right, Sucker?
