Re “I Need to Straighten You Out

As promised, I am back this morning to straighten out a few wrinkles in George Laase’s commentary that appeared last week. http://www.thefrontpageonline.com/new/articles1-9541/AllAboardfortheAbramsZirgulisCampaignTrain

Mr. Laase believes:

Just think of it, at no cost to the citizen. (Liar detector, anyone)?

City Council dba the Redevelopment Agency had newly discovered $430 million. http://www.thefrontpageonline.com/new/articles1-9150/WillSomebodyPleaseExplaintheGiveawaytoMe

Mr. Laase says:

Let Me Entertain You

Although free registration can give want-to-be candidates a place in the sun on the ballot, it does little in bringing legitimacy to their campaigns.

Guess me and Mr. Z need the approval of the “Machines?”

Mr. Laase also says:

I do not doubt both potential candidates will take themselves and their campaigns seriously. Maybe a bit too seriously?

Must be psychic? You have that right Mr. Laase!

Mr. Laase believes:

2009 Board Race

I have begun to look at candidate Gary Abrams as a very serious contender for the School Board.

Mr. Laase says:

But what these two would bring to our locally l o n g, drawn-out political process is a great sense of comic relief (watching selected and elected lying politicians squirm and sweat bullets).

And for that, I am truly grateful to them.

Mr. Laase:

Noticed in one of your articles that you suggested that Attorney Gourley was jeopardizing his “Board Legacy. ” Guess he is your Culver City gold standard.

REVOLUTION —
Defined as the overthrow of a ruler or government.

Now that’s a novel idea.
