Mayor Villaraigosa, please don’t avoid your own 60th birthday party!

Festivities will be streaming live on Wednesday  from Los Angeles City Hall.

No joke.

Be there or be square.

National media invitation.

Everyone is invited.

The live production will originate in City Council Chambers, commencing at 10 a.m., with the 14 Council members in attendance.

Mr. Mayor: Do you plan on holding a private birthday party, refusing to make public the names of your guests, the way you did in 2009, as reported in the Los Angeles Times?

Most guys turning 60 have no desire to call attention to their birthday.

How about you, Mayor Antonio?

Everyone who shows up at the City Hall wing-ding is guaranteed a delicious slice of the mayor’s birthday cake, courtesy of the mayor’s constituents.  (Paper plates and utensils will be provided.)

Five years from now, when Mayor Antonio turns 65 years old himself, will he then suffer from the same pitiless slashes in Social Security benefits that the onetime liberal leader now is advocating for those of us already on S.S.

The honorable Council President, Mr. Herb Wesson, has been requested to preside at the mayor’s birthday bash.

Media, please attend.

Mr. Villaraigosa, a proud new member of the radical right-wing “Fix the Debt” national steering commitee, will be celebrating his 60th without any fanfare (the birthday boy hopes).

Antonio will not sneak away from acknowledging the Big Six-Oh, not if hollywoodhighlands.org has anything to say about it.

If you Google “Villaraigosa” and “Birthday Party,” you will discover no mention of a Villaraigosa birthday bash since 2009.

Mr. Mayor, do you plan on having a private birthday party, refusing to release a list of your party guests, the way you did four years ago?    

We ask the national media to cover this bizarre eventy.

…Only in L.A.

The birthday boy, you see, is a party boy. 

Almost 15,000 have placed their names on the signon.org petition of condemnation for Antonio abandoning his once strong progressive principles to sleep with the “Fix the Debt” enemy.

The mayor already has been paid by the above mentioned anti-S.S. outfit more than $14,000 in expenses and counting.

Antonio’s support can be bought.

A group of “Save Social Security” activists will be holding this unique live internet 60th birthday party, continuing throughout the 10 o’clock meeting.

The party will wind up at the City Hall Snack Bar downstairs.

A state law mandates that public comments during all City Council meetings must be officially recognized, plus seen and heard on Los Angeles city channel 35.

The Council’s live telecast will be downloadable at lacity.org

We will be wearing 60th birthday hats.

Naturally, given his proclivity to party hearty, the mayor’s choice of birthday cake will be rum-flavored. 

Will Charlie Sheen – remember his and Antonio’s partying photos from Cabo a couple weekends ago, arms around each other – be a surprise drop-in guest?

Why not?

Especially since Mr. Villaraigosa was a surprise drop-in guest for a couple hours at Sheen’s infamous Cabo San Lucas nightclub south of the border?
