It doesn't get any less frustrating over time. The Times has two articles in the paper today that we read that reference websites and blogs and their impact on something but fail to provide even a url with which readers can go search out on their own, let alone clickable links within the online articles. The first has to do with Tail O' The Pup which has been talked about on several blogs that...

Curbed LA is cringing at the idea that the City of Santa Monica didn't even know Google has an office in town, one that they've had for at least the past few years. What's even more curious is that the low profile building that the small local Google team has occupied also housed (and maybe still does?) LivePlanet which brought many a Project Greenlight camera crew to the location and aired the scenes regularly...

Martini Republic is trying to figure out what role local blogs played in the CD 14 council race. Blog favorite Nick Pacheco didn't win but there were some other oddities in the outcome that suggests that blogs have an effect. The flickr pool on the special election is heavy with photos of the No on 73 crowd. Lost amongst the big battle between The Gov and The Unions is this hotly debated issue. That...

Apparently California voters like that Destiny's Child greatest hits CD and voted No, No No at the polls yesterday. While locally we can look to new City Council members and further funding for LAUSD building needs as victories of voter will, where does our Governor go from here? He's been humbled by the experience and, it seems, crippled as well. He's made enemies of not only the state legislature but of organized labor who...

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. Jen is running a workshop for bi-curious women tonight! Get details here. Living in Sin is her weekly advice column for LA's sexually curious, confused and constipated. Got a question...

You either love or hate Sarah Silverman. Well, LAist, at the very least, loves her shtick. We're not sure if her comedy warrants the comparisons to Lenny Bruce that she sometimes gets but it is very true that her brand of funny matters. Her first concert film has already won tons of festival awards and is set to wow audiences this week. "Jesus Is Magic" is here! We want to send you to the...

- Like Martini Republic, we're intrigued by any church being chastised for political activism during the reign of this administration. - What does Anaheim know about football? - LAist was too busy curling up with the premiere of The Boondocks last night to be out at the Grove during a fire scare. - Most of Parisist's coverage of the riots are in French but their English posts help give some perspective to the pictures. -...

As we shook the cobwebs out this morning, LAist heard something on Today in LA about this being the start of a local pet adoption week but now we can't seem to find anything online with the specifics. LA Animal Services has nothing on their oddly designed site and no news articles or press releases have popped up. From what we can remember, though, it is $37 to adopt a dog or $32 to...

If you went to the Walk The Line premiere last night for the Opening of the AFI Film Festival on our account, we apologize. A reader writes in to explain the utter chaos of the affair:Last night's premiere screening of "Walk The Line"(11/3), the Johnny Cash story, at AFI can only be described as sloppy and unappologetic as an oversold pre-Thanksgiving airline flight between LAX and JFK...in a snowstorm. Moviegoers paying upwards of $75...
