I LOVE L.A.! My Thanksgiving Thanks
10 Random Albums To Be Thankful For
- KCBS and its KCAL affiliate picked up seven awards at the Los Angeles Emmy Awards last night, with the award for live coverage of an unannounced event going to the team for the Esperanza fire.
- Let's all share in a joyous chorus of "Hell yeah!!": teen drivers may be barred from using cell phones while driving, under state legislation passed today.
- And while we're at it, give another whoop of joy for the resignation of Attorney General Alberto Gonzales. If anybody asks you about it later, you can always just say "I do not recall!"
- This kind of stuff just makes me all weepy. And then stabby: authorities are offering a $2,500 reward to anyone who can help identify what evil, heartless bastard beat three kittens to death in Canoga Park.
- Skid Row is the site of a new art project that purports to bring a bit of green to blighted city street corners in the form of portable gardens.
- Britney's being investigated for child abuse: let's say it all together now -- give the kids to KFed! Give the kids to KFed!
- A suspect has been arrested in the Hollywood liquor-store shoot-up that left one man dead and his co-worker critically injured.
- Self-confessed pedophile Jack McClellan is leaving the state because he "can't live here under this Orwellian protocol". I'm sorry, I don't seem to remember anything in 1984 about the virtues of child molestation.
- On the other side of the world, fires are threatening the city of Olympia in Greece, where countless antiquities and historic sites are in the path of the raging inferno. Sixty people have died so far and many thousands more have been evacuated.
- The Tesla Roadster tops Treehugger's list of Top Ten Sexiest Green Cars: based on the Lotus, this looks like one sweet ride that won't cause fossil fuel guilt.

LAist! You're usually right on point, but Jack McClellan was never charged (less convicted) of child molestation. It's too bad to see you join the chorus of people who assume someone's a chimo without an ounce of proof.
I won't be happy until they ban soccer moms in Brentwood and the evil horrible disusting businessman/woman from using cell phones while they drive!!!!
And yes I agree with the above comment, Jack McClellan has never been convicted for any crimes or assaults. He has merely expressed a paraphilia for young girls. Sure it's not in the same context as the aforementioned business man but still he has committed no crime.
My question is when will rapists be made to register as sex offenders!!!! I sure as hell wouldn't want them as my neighbors.
Orwell, even with his great vision and insight could never have imagined a society where "To Catch A Predator" could entrance a nation. Big Brother is watching you potential "ChiMo's" and we're gonna punish you before you commit the crime you're actually really even going to ever commit!
Interesting idea Guest #2 on expanding the sex offender definition.
I'm not even gonna touch this one,
I'm just glad everybody's picking up on the "King Dork" reference.
