For almost 12 weeks, I have been trying to determine why the largest newspaper in the state, the Los Angeles Titanic, has been so aggressively in favor of dismembering, slaughtering, battering —whatever it takes to kill off those darned pesky redevelopment agencies that towns throughout California love and that Gov. Brown detests more than a clear thinker.
The Bald Retread’s maniacal, drippingly dishonest crusade to murder redevelopment agencies so your hungry children may attend public school next week is an old Democrat ploy that liberals cunningly have trotted out of the cluttered closet for years. They just put new clothes on it once in awhile. If you don’t stop soon enough at red lights, public school funding will be affected. If you have obese children, public school funding will be affected. If you don’t support same-sex marriage, public schools will suffer before dying.
As an unusually plodding thinker, it took me until yesterday morning, when I was scanning the Titanic’s lead Sunday editorial, that fireworks exploded across my thick face and more dense mind, and a revelation streaked across the skies.
Apart from the headline, “First, affordable housing,” the irrefutable clue to the lopsidedly left newspaper’s motivation lies in the 49th of 75 lines, a bracketing of concept the Titanic regards as filthier than homicide:
“Rich developers are behind many big projects…”
Ah, the (traditional, lol) light bulb just came on.
Has little or nothing to do with perceived shortcomings by the state’s 398 hometown agencies, which the Titanic hates as if it were still another Republican or Wisconsin conspiracy. This is funnier than the Comedy channel to watch, but no joke at all if it comes true.
All right, everybody face the wall and recite slowly.
You are regarded as an unworthy Democrat unless your opening prayer every morning, before your feet touch the cold bedroom floor, is:
“I hate rich people.
“They plot daily to deprive the poor of food and the middle class of decent employment.”
Democrats sound like comedians telling the same drained joke 10 times in a row, hoping to milk 9 more laughs out of something that was not funny the first time.
With a nudge from Gov. Brown the first week in January, the Titanic has taken charge of the bandwagon that California is going to slide into the Colorado River and public education is going to vanish if the Bald Retread can’t slide and maneuver to beat to death evil redevelopment agencies. As Retread becomes more desperate, Bald and the Titanic argue that redevelopment is an obscene plot to enrich the rich and kill off the poor, the middle class and the lame and two-legged donkeys hard of hearing.
So far, Gov. Snake Oil has stubbed his slimy toes. He has proven to be as artfully empty at deadline negotiating as Bozo Obama, The Joke Who Was Elected President.
Even though he is old enough to be Bozo’s father, Snake Oil may be a faster failure in office than Mad Michelle’s favorite pull toy.
Tomorrow we will inspect redevelopment from a Culver City perspective.
