Pope Francis I
Visit hollywoodhighlands.org to see Mayor Villaraigosa in full papal regalia. The Mayor, we are told, came close this afternoon.
Hollywoodhighlands.org predicted the next Pope would not be a European.
Instead, the new Pope would be a native Latin American, a fluent speaker of Spanish, known to take the public bus to work, and he is the first Jesuit pope.
We were right on the nose.

Maybe next time you will get to rule a billion Catholics.
But the saintly Los Angeles mayor does not resent being passed over fo Pope.
He wishes the Pope lots of luck as each gentleman embarks on a new journey.
After all, Mayor Villaraigosa has been passed over before.
This year.
Like when President Obama refused to offer him any Secretary job in his D.C. cabinet a few weeks ago.
Or when Eva Longoria refused to sleep with him – more than once.
[Editor’s Note: Later, Mr. Walsh received this salty response from one Scott Lay. Both emails follow.]
John:
I usually read your messages and incorporate them into my political
analysis. That said, this is over the line and makes me less willing to read your thoughts. Just an FYI.
Dear Mr. Lay:
If you want to be removed from my E-MAIL BLAST LIST, just say so!
Incidentally, you would be the first one to ask to be removed. You are sent only the blasts that have a statewide angle.
FYI: A few months ago, a minority woman was gang-raped on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, a block and a half from where I live. The nearby parking lot attendant gave me a graphic recounting of the crime. Later, I was able to find the rape statistic buried deep in Crimemapping L.A.’s website.
Mayor Villaraigosa made sure that there was no media coverage of the Hollywood rape spree in the Los Angeles Times or any other MSM news source because news of rape crews in Hollywood, trolling the club scene for victims, might hurt tourism!
Only Patch.com has responded with stories of the Hollywood rape spree. The LAPD, whose Chief Beck is Antonio's appointee, denies there is a crime wave in Hollywood.
Does that place the Mayor over your line? Villaraigosa and mayoralty candidate Eric Garcetti claim that violent crime is down in Hollywood.
If you believe them, I invite you to take an hour-long weekend midnight tour of crime-ridden Hollywood with me – without LAPD protection – the next time you are down here.
Mr. Lay, do you have the courage? If so, let me know anytime so I can make arrangements.
