. . . you see a woman whose hair has obviously been bleached blonde, blow-dried and styled. She wears a seemingly stylish sweatshirt without stain. There is no blemish on her skin, at least none you can see for she has applied a generous (but not excessive) amount of makeup. And she asks you for money so she can get something to eat. For some in this town, appearance is more important than nutrition.
The Internet home for American gay conservatives.
Maybe she’s lonely and bored, and this gives her something to do. California’s a great state to visit, but I’m always in awe when I watch House Hunters on HGTV and it takes place in California. I only wish I could move my house out there; it would be worth three times what it’s worth here! But then, again, you’re paying triple for everything too.
A major problem in this country is we have people with $200 haircuts and $400 sneakers bitching if they have to make a $20 co-pay on a doctor’s visit.
You know you are in LA when:
your pet chihuahua has a better diet than your gardener.
(Any other submissions out there?) 😉

V the K…
Are you listening to the same calls I’m listening to?
You know you are in America when even the people making below poverty level wages are fat.

Fat, drive a car, have cable or satellite tv, cell phones, and a pure breed dog with papers. . .
I’ve seen that person several times.
Much of the time the wheels and tires on said car are worth more than my current mode of Transpo.
To me, LA is too plastic. Concern over appearances is overemphasized. It’s also too spread out, fake, phony, earthquake-prone, etc. I prefer San Diego. It’s all over LA (with the exception of that last item).
As an LA native, Jimbo, let me say something I’ve said many, many times before. People from LA are not phony or fake. It’s the idiots who move here from other places that are phony and fake.
I went grocery shopping a few weeks back, and someone had left their car running in front of the store, unoccupied, while they went in and did their business.
You know why I prefer not living in a city? That’s why.
“…And she asks you for money so she can get something to eat. For some in this town, appearance is more important than nutrition…”
And you REALLY know you’re in LA when you realize it’s Lindsay Lohan.
#7: “I prefer San Diego. It’s all over LA (with the exception of that last item).”
Yes, Jimbo, San Diego does RULE. However, since our fair city is hosting COMIC CON this weekend, it may as well be LA. I live about 300 feet from the convention center and it is CRAZY with pedestrians attending the convention. On the way to work Friday morning, I almost ran over a group of four stormtroopers. Begun, this clone war has…
#9: V – we could leave our cars running here as well but then we’d have to endure a lecture from the enviro-nazis.
Also, in Gullyfornyuh, you have dingbats that make Miss South Carolina look like a Rhodes Scholar.
Now, I see how Boxer and Pelosi got elected.
I hope she was joking. But you know what would be really good? If we like, cured cancer. And made solar power work.
She’s still a genius compared to boob, torrentprime, and gillie.
Speaking of LA, the only thing more INSUFFERABLE than being told by liberal elitists in Washington, DC what’s best for us is being told by liberal elitists in Hollywood what’s best for us. There’s a piece over at Breitbart’s Big Hollywood taking Steven Weber to task for his column at Whore-ingtonPost.com in which he bitches about the opposition to Obamacare–a horrible government program that poses absolutely no threat to his wealthy, care-free existence:
http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/jjmnolte/2009/07/25/obamacare-will-steven-weber-put-his-family-where-his-ideology-is/#idc-container
Weber is yet ANOTHER arrogant Hollywood douchebag that is so useless he’s not even worth debating on the issue. He just really needs a knuckle-sandwich, pure and simple.
Only on the left are the blatherings of a guy whose career peaked with ‘Wings’ considered deep and insightful.
#16: “Only on the left are the blatherings of a guy whose career peaked with ‘Wings’ considered deep and insightful.”
You’re right, V the K. I don’t know if you read any of the comments under Weber’s column at the WhorePost, but I assure you, most of them are embarrassingly sycophantic. The same idiots who presume that any statement made by a rich conservative is an obscene falsehood treat Weber’s ignorant ramblings as though they were carved into stone tablets. Liberals will believe ANYTHING that a rich, leftist celebrity says. (Who could forget Charlie Sheen–who doesn’t even have a high school diploma by the way–coming out as a 9/11 TROOOOFER?) One commenter praised Weber for doing the job that American journalists should be doing because he “actually did the research” on this issue. On one hand, the commenter is correct–American journalists didn’t do the research of looking at Canada’s horrible system before informing the American public that Obamacare would be fantastic–but it’s clear from Weber’s piece that at most, he talked to a couple of Canadian film crew members in a bar (which he calls observing the Canadian healthcare system “up close”):
“Our famously pleasant upstairs neighbour (note my use of “u” in “neighbor” out of deference to my host country, a selfless act of diplomacy all American representatives abroad should engage in) has made my stay famously pleasant and I have been privileged to observe close-up what some people in the American media have told me was bad and ugly and evil and vile and stinky and Commie and shitty and bad. And also bad. And did I mention bad?”
And from his “up close” observations, Weber concludes (no, more like, condescendingly lectures) that, “In fact, the greatest threat to the health of individuals in the US is the lack of a nationalized, affordable health care program.”
Weber (and every elitist celebrity like him) needs to be thrown into a cage with a giant, angry, starving bird of prey with at least a 12-14 foot wing-span and should not be allowed to come out until he agrees to NEVER publicly comment on a political issue again for the rest of his days.
#3 Peter H: You write the funniest zingers! 😀
#16 – Thanks, I try.
Of course, with resident libtrolls out there (hello torrentpime), the material is so good it would be a sin to waste it.

The reason real estate in certain parts of California (Bay Area, Santa Monica for example) is so expensive is because these are areas of the country where life is actually worth living, and you don’t need to be high on Oxycontin to help you forget about where you live; places like Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Alabama or just about anywhere in rural America or deep South.
