We don't know if we should be offended/shamed for not getting included or mentioned in this Times article about the local blog community and the perspective they give on living in Los Angeles or just be happy that the article features live clickable links online. We'll take our victories where we can get them. In other news, as LA.Comfidential points out, MoveOn has a new political cause: harassing The Times. First Kucinich and the...

All Tookie Edition: - Another Governor went the clemency route. - They are chanting outside of City Hall. - Marylee Shrider in Bakersfield wants Mr. Williams dead. Oh and some bonus links: - Even though he got suspended, sometimes cheaters win. - Perhaps someone should break out the old Ice Cube records and remind people what it's like trying to survive in South Central....

It's rivalry week and a cursory view of our blogroll shows the Trojan/Bruin war rages on. Boi From Troy is, obviously, almost all USC all the time this week while Loteria Chicana and Ultratart both wax nostalgic with dreams of past glory. Caroline on Crack wants you to visit Hunky Santa at the Beverly Center. Hunky Santa? What, no Hot Hannukah Harriett dancing the horah for the lovers of ladies? Was that enough alliteration...

Jen Sincero is a musician, sexpert, and the author of the bestselling book, The Straight Girl’s Guide To Sleeping With Chicks and the semi-autobiographical novel, Don’t Sleep With Your Drummer. She currently hosts a weekly sex talk radio show called Dr. Happypants on killradio.org. Living in Sin is her weekly advice column for LA's sexually curious, confused and constipated. Got a question for Jen? Ask her. We promise to be discreet (all questions will...

Today in Traffic: The Gilroy Dispatch came south for Thanksgiving and took record of the trip in the ride; new lamps in Hollywood; Brad Sherman got a little money for the Valley's traffic goals last week; and, a future with a west side subway is still a possibility. Tookie Watch: Michael Ackley takes issue with the media. Earl Ofari Hutchinson writes his 4th or 5th editorial in a week urging clemency. - Franklin Avenue...

LAist loves this photo so much, we just couldn't bring ourselves to crop it. Anyway, if you didn't catch The Subways last night for free at Spaceland we've got two pairs of tickets for their performance tonight at Cinespace (tickets are $5 for general public. It is also Steve Aoki's birthday party tonight so Cinespace will get to capacity...probably before 11). We've also got a free mp3 for you to download to check out...

We wish we had read LAFD Online before venturing out yesterday. We could've avoided the road closures and maybe remembered to bring our camera and enjoyed the Hollywood Christmas Parade. Instead, we found ourselves driving through Hollywood a couple hours before parade time confused and in gridlock. The only parade we got to see was the one of bumper to bumper cars on La Brea and Santa Monica as we tried to navigate all...

Just about everyone around here, except our friendly neighborhood Weekend Editor, made the extra long holiday weekend an excuse to get away from the computer. We'll be back to a regular posting schedule tomorrow but for now - the week that was: - Said Weekend Editor spent Thanksgiving in the ER... - ...but somehow still had time to interview Imogen Heap. - We took a look at the case against match.com and revealed our...

LAist has a few friends that fall into that "people who have everything" category that are always insanely hard to shop for so we jump at the chance to check out something that you won't find shooping in Target or at the local mall. This year, we've had a month to lay around on the Sumo Lounge Omni (sumo's site seems t o be down now) and find it very comfortable, perfect for the...

This LAist contributor doesn't normally write about sports so we won't focus much on the game itself. After a 54 point first half, Pacers defense (mostly manifesting in Ron Artest's activity and muscle) and a horrible third quarter left Da Clips 5 points short of their 10th victory. We don't think our soon-to-be-all-star Elton Brand will be getting player of the week honors again after the squad doubled their loss total. That said, their...
