Summer in LA usually brings in the smog season, those hot, hellish months when the mountains disappear behind a curtain of sky that's as beige as a shag carpet in an Encino tract home, circa 1976. Eyes tear. Lungs burn. Paint peels. Not this year, however. If you've been breathing a little easier and seeing the Hollywood sign a little more often, you're not alone. The AP via Yahoo! is reporting that LA has...

Various news outlets are reporting that a crazed, naked Canadian man somehow evaded security at LAX long enough to jump a fence, run out onto the tarmac, and climb into the wheel well of an Australia-bound Qantas jet. Ah, those wacky Canucks. Gotta love 'em. Who else would have the chutzpah to crawl through razor wire, clambor over various sharp metallic airplanes with all their attendant jagged edges, streak by screaming, spinning jet turbines,...

Yeehaw! Us rednecks done won again! Those liberal media types has misunderestimated W for the last time. Yep, turns out people don't really care about issues after all, least ways, not real issues. Them Yankees and Californicators thought different, but they don't count. They ain't real Americans. The real American people care about the onliest issues that relate to God and such: keeping them sodomites from marrying up (that's something that should only be...

LAist voted this morning at Our Mother of Good Counsel in Los Feliz, and, if the lines there were any indication, many LA voters may find themselves waiting an hour or more to cast their ballots. With the consolidation of neighborhood polling places, a loooong list of propositions to wade through, and, of course, the Presidential election all converging on one date, log jams are bound to arise.

The last bit of mud has been slung. The final aspersion has been cast. The Osama bin Laden October surprise has come and gone. Theresa Heinz Kerry has finally retreated into blissful silence. Dick Cheney has slunk back into his undisclosed location. In fact, it's all over but the shouting, of which there may be plenty once the polls close and the results begin to flow in.
