Out of the Litter Box
By Ali Katz
This cat is not a happy cat. It seems the rip out
the amenities crusade is going full tilt Boogy in Venice, what with doing away
with benches pay phones etc.
But in other parts of the city, according to the
L.A. Times, March 28, 2005, such as Vermont Avenue, new get that? NEW bus
benches are being installed. Ali called the council office about the
theft—the taking of bus benches and Sandy Kievman said that iron (wrought)
benches are being installed—And, she added, they had nothing to do with
the metal leaners. That was the province of the Metropolitan Transit Authority.
Kitty called them, but they have yet to return the call.
Ali was also informed that those
“leaners” are being used in Europe—Well Ali’s not going
THERE any time soon, but isn’t it sad that the Europeans always take
what‘s tinny and cheap from the U.S. and use that?
Ali Katz is also vexed that streetlights are
installed in certain parts of the city that are attractive and have a 19th
century feel to them.
These lamps could be shaded so as to shine on the
ground and not in someone’s window.
Several years ago this type of lamp was proposed for
the O.F.W. refurbishment. No go said Rec and Parks.
Now this cat doesn’t begrudge attractive
pleasant lighting in other parts of Los Angeles. This feline just wonders why
Venice doesn’t Qualify.
Linda Lucks community activist and one of the
founders of the Venice Garden Walks was terminated by the Gubernator from her
position on the State Medical Board. She was outspoken in her support of
pro-cannabis M.D.s.
This cat tried to call the Gov. to find out why. Ms.
Lucks was not re-appointed…He could not be reached for comment….What
is that funny smell coming from the tent?…Could it be…CUBAN cigars?
And aren’t imports from that commie island illegal? Oh, what to
do.
And did you hear? The Gubernator got taken to task
for using state employees to build sets for the Arnold to speak in front of, as
he talks about cutting pensions for these very same state
employees.
Well, maybe steroids don’t shrivel one’s
cojones after all.
That’s all for Meeow!
Oh Rats Dept.: Forgot to mention Ms. Lucks was also
a Beachhead “Collectivite” in the Day.
