It
did too happen!! See?
Now do you believe us?
The setting was a shabby ballroom at a Four Points Sheraton near LAX, where radio host Doug McIntyre, seated on a stage in front a movie screen showing black-and-white clips of rampaging peasants, presided over KABC's "Pitch Fork & Torches" rally. Dressed in overalls for the occasion, McIntyre tried to remind voters that, indeed, there might be something to care about in the upcoming election. "If Los Angeles fails, America fails," he shouted. "And if America fails, the world fails."
Ha ha. If we gave a shit, we'd pretend we were concerned that we aren't even pulling our own not inconsiderable weight, let alone helping anyone else. That would be a large "if." We're all about the anomie.
"Compared to a lot of other cities, LA really is more transient," Higby suggested. "It's not a traditional city, and it hasn't lent itself to people fostering some sort of basic level of civic pride. It might only exist artificially around a few sports teams.
We weren't expecting abuse of our fair city, but we're all for it. And it sums up SoCal: Cars w/ Lakers flags in a hurry to go nowhere.
