You have to give the man credit for at least making a splash in the new media: Spencer Pratt knows how to play the eyeball-attracting game in posting guerrilla media ads, at minimal cost and circumventing the usual producers of political commercials. He\u2019s infuriating all the right people, including Mayor \u201cBasura\u201d Bass and councilwoman Nithya \u201cBottom\u201d Raman. Apparently, having made most public spaces in LA\u00a0(parks, beachfronts and urban\/suburban streets)<\/em>\u00a0significantly unpleasant and even dangerous\u00a0(those which haven\u2019t been burned over, of course)<\/em>\u00a0through actions and inactions combined, now one of them wants to give free dental care to toothless and homeless addicts, and the other is all hot to trot in spoiling private spaces by banning backyard BBQs. The first campaign promise comes off as one which explores a whole new frontier in tone deafness, and the other as just spiteful, nosy and interfering. It is my considered judgment that both women have never run into serious criticism, to judge by the indignant Margo Dumont-level\u00a0\u201cWell, I never!\u201d<\/em>\u00a0reactions from them. Until now, they were protected against public criticism by the slick stainless-steel shield of dark skin, vagina, and command of progressive cant. Well, and the \u201cD\u201d designator for political party.

A Pratt blow-out in the LA mayoral election is something that normal, tax-paying non-woke citizens may secretly wish for very much, as near as we can assume from our own conservative guerrilla media. It could be that an overwhelming preference cascade is forming \u2013 one the size and force of Niagara Falls, undetected by the establishment media, a cascade which sweeps him into office. Sheer malicious incompetence, which appears to be perfectly fine with allowing large chunks of suburbia burn to the ground can\u2019t possibly be tolerable even to the most wokified Los Angeles voter, especially if it is their own roof on fire. Even as I post this,\u00a0another barely-contained brushfire<\/a>\u00a0is raging in the Simi Valley\/Thousand Oaks area.<\/p>\n

Perhaps the odds are against a Pratt victory at the polls are substantial \u2026 but not absolute. Alas, following up a Pratt victory in the mayoral polls with an LA version of a Romanian Merry Christmas probably isn\u2019t in the cards \u2026 although lately one can\u2019t be entirely certain of that. There is a lot of free-floating anger, and not all of it is on the woke side.
\nThe big trouble that I can see \u2013 and probably Stevie Wonder can see it, too \u2013 is that even if Pratt does a blow-out election win, every established bureaucrat stuck like an impacted molar in the city administration will work overtime to sabotage him. And he certainly won\u2019t get any love from Gruesome Newsome, or as I like to call him, Governor Brylcreem. There it is \u2013 anyone having special knowledge of how things are really shaping up in the City of Angels \u2013 comment as you wish.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
