Congratulations to Jose Canseco for winning the Home Run Hitting contest at the Golden Baseball All-Star game yesterday. We wont mention his "perfomance" on the mound.

Congratulations Dave Navarro, for using your blog perfectly to answer the pressing questions:

What does amicably separated mean? It means that Carmen and I love each other, we are and always will be best friends. In fact, we are supporting each other through this time. What better way to get through a tough spot than with your best friend

Congratulations to
KNBC for finding sweatshops in the garmet district.Congratulations Adam Carolla for still having a job in radio after two horrible ratings books in a row. His station, KLSX ,is tied for 20th place in average share of audience. "Free Radio", it appears, seems as appealing to Los Angelenos as drinking free tap water. Some things we'll pay a few things for.

Congratulations Helene Elliot for being promoted at the LAT to general sports columnist after they had decided to cut back on hockey reporting. LA Observed even has the email from her boss Randy Harvey.

You come to LAist because you want independent reporting and trustworthy local information. Our newsroom doesn’t answer to shareholders looking to turn a profit. Instead, we answer to you and our connected community. We are free to tell the full truth, to hold power to account without fear or favor, and to follow facts wherever they lead. Our only loyalty is to our audiences and our mission: to inform, engage, and strengthen our community.

Right now, LAist has lost $1.7M in annual funding due to Congress clawing back money already approved. The support we receive from readers like you will determine how fully our newsroom can continue informing, serving, and strengthening Southern California.
