- Was your reaction to the election today sorta "meh"? So was the LA Times' in this morning's paper. Other than their Editorial page picks on the box on the bottom left hand portion of that page, and the two paragraph blurb about the free parking around polling places, there were no Election stories in the paper this morning. This is the story they needed but it was only available in later editions and online - LA Times

- BP donates $25 million to LACMA for a new entryway, wonder if it will look like their new gas stations? - AP

- You have until 7:59 pm to pick your numbers for tonight's Mega Millions, worth $370 million, which we expect you to donate to MOCA for an even cooler entryway.

- Didn't get tickets to see the Police at Dodger Stadium? Your lack of motivation has been rewarded with a new concert in the more intimate confines of Staples Center - KABC

- Rip songs from MySpace - MySpace Ripper

- The live "Apprentice" finale will be at the Hollywood Bowl because that's the only place in LA big enough to house Trump's ego - Futon Critic

- The Times caves and brings back the comic "La Cucaracha" and has to kill "Heathcliff" and "Mr. Boffo". Why do we think there are some "Heathcliff" fans who wont take this lying down? - LA Observed

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.

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.
