Purgatory pizza - Downtown

This hole in the wall type of pizza place is located east of Downtown L.A. I never had a chance to come here because this place close early. But I finally tried last week. We already had dim sum lunch, so we were not so hungry. We each got a slice of pepperoni pizza. The pizza was not good as we expected. I like Papi's pizza better than here.

Irish coffee house - West Hollywood

To contact us Click HERE
I came here to kill some time. This place is so tiny, there were total 4 tables on the first floor and they were so close to each other so you can hear what people are talking about. Since I like cafes in Koreatown, this is not the place for me. This place is ok if you just wanna grab coffee and pastries to go on the way to work, but not the place I wanna stay.


















Cafe Latte (S) $2.60 and chocolate croissant $2.75
My latte look like cappuccino. Nothing special.


















Maybe there were total about 1 teaspoonful of chocolate inside, but really, chocolate parts were only outside. And I must say, pastries at whole foods are better than this. I guess this place doesn't care about the quality of the pastries.

La Dijonaise Cafe et Boulangerie - Culver City

This place was disappointing. Nothing delicious. They don't heat up tart or muffin so our tart was just cold. I ordered latte and I could only taste milk. It was my first time asking to take them back my latte.


















This is cafe latte that I tasted and didn't like at all, so I asked them if I can change it to regular coffee. They said they'll make new one, but I didn't want that. I just asked for regular coffee.













And I got coffee. It was nothing special, like you can get at Seven Eleven.













Desserts and Drink menu


















Gluten free blueberry muffin
It was dry. Not soft or moist and that means not so high calories?

Served cold. Tasted like from cheap bakery. I didn't like tart crust.

Huckabee: Libya Cover Up Worse Than Watergate

To contact us Click HERE
From Politico: Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee on Friday said the American people “have flat-out been lied to” by President Barack Obama and his administration about the violence in Libya — and this cover-up is worse than Richard Nixon’s scandal because “nobody died in Watergate.”
“Let’s just get blunt. No way to sugar coat this — We’ve been lied to. We have flat-out been lied to. They know they’ve lied,” Huckabee told Fox News’s “America’s Newsroom.” “It’s as if airplanes crashing into the World Trade Center and somebody says, ‘those were just accidents. The planes veered off course.’ Everybody with two eyes and IQ above plant life understands that what happened in Egypt and what happened in Libya was not some spontaneous reaction to a stupid 13-minute video on YouTube. It was a planned, coordinated, orchestrated attack led by terrorists.”
Huckabee, who hosts “Huckabee” on Fox and the radio program “The Mike Huckabee Show,” then likened the Libya situation to Watergate.
“Richard Nixon was forced out of office because he lied and because he covered some stuff up. I’m going to be blunt and tell you this — nobody died in Watergate,” Huckabee said. “We have some people who are dead because of this. There are some questions to be answered and Americans ought to demand to get answers and it doesn’t matter what the politics are.”
Co-host Bill Hemmer later followed-up, asking, “You’re comparing the events of today to Watergate?
“I sure am,” Huckabee said.
“This White House has been discredited and its credibility, certainly the promises of transparency have been completely decimated by their actions,” Huckabee added.
“It’s very strong language, but I know you’ve thought about this,” Hemmer replied.
Huckabee stood by his comments later Friday, telling listeners of his radio show that he gave a “very honest answer.” He also brought up Bill Clinton’s Monica Lewinsky scandal and his denial of the affair to Americans.  http://www.politico.com/blogs/media/2012/09/huckabee-obamas-libya-coverup-worse-than-watergate-136929.html
Without a doubt, the Obama administration has lied about what really happened with the death of the Libyan ambassador and 2 security men and we still don't have the truth.
It was clear within a day that this was a terrorist attack that was planned but the Obama administration still stuck to the story that some stupid movie trailer on the Internet was the cause of Muslim violence in the Mideast and other places.  In fact, they still seem to think the movie trailer had something to do with the Libyan deaths and other acts of violence.
Is this cover up as as bad as Watergate?  Of course it is because an ambassador died.  Will anything be done about it?  Of course not because Obama is the Teflon god.  Nothing sticks to him, just like the death of a police officer in Fast and Furious has been overlooked by the media, this Libyan assassination of the Libyan and the cover up will be ignored by the Obama media lap dogs.

From Michael Savage.com: This is Michael Savage's response in regards to his win in court and him being off of talk radio:
AFTER A GRUELING LEGAL BATTLE THAT COST HIM AND HIS FAMILY DEARLY, MICHAEL SAVAGE CAN ANNOUNCE HE WON! HE IS FREE AT LAST. FREE TO WORK WITH WHOMEVER HE WISHES IN THE RADIO INDUSTRY FROM TODAY FORWARD.
MICHAEL WILL NOT BE HEARD ON THE RADIO FOR SOME TIME, BUT YOU CAN KEEP UP WITH HIM BY LOGGING ONTO MICHAELSAVAGE.COM EVERY DAY FOR UPDATES AND BY SUBSCRIBING TO HIS FREE NEWSLETTER AT THE TOP OF HIS WEBSITE.

FOR THOSE IN THE RADIO OR MEDIA WHO WISH FURTHER INFORMATION, PLEASE CONTACT HIS ATTORNEY, DAN HOROWITZ, (925) 283-1863.
http://www.michaelsavage.wnd.com/2012/09/michael-savage-free-at-last/
Here is Savage's Facebook page:  http://www.facebook.com/MichaelSavagePage
While Savage won his case, in the end, will he have won?  He will be off the air for an extended period of time each day he is gone is another day without income and losing his listeners.  
With the competition of talk radio, his fans will go somewhere.  In Las Vegas, they may go to Neal Bortz on AM 670 for the time being, until Bortz retires in January.  They may also go to Mike Huckabee on 790.  Unless KDWN picks up another national talker quickly, they will be hurt because all of Savage's substitutes pretty much sucked.  If I were a liberal, I would be lobbying KDWN for a liberal talk show host.  Does Ed Schultz still have his radio show?
In the end, i think the real loser will be Michael Savage- if he gets back into talk radio, he will have to build up his audience again and he may not want to do that.  The other losers will be the local affiliates who lost a a talk show host who brought in ratings with no notice.
The winners in this case right now will be liberals who have hated him from Day 1

Obama Kills American Green Jobs In Oregon

To contact us Click HERE
From the Minneapolis Star Tribune: Citing national security risks, President Barack Obama on Friday blocked a Chinese company from owning four wind farm projects in northern Oregon near a Navy base where the U.S. military flies unmanned drones and electronic-warfare planes on training missions.
It was the first time in 22 years that a U.S. president has blocked such a foreign business deal.
Obama's decision was likely to be another irritant in the increasingly tense economic relationship between the U.S. and China. It also comes against an election-year backdrop of intense criticism from Republican presidential challenger Mitt Romney, who accuses Obama of not being tough enough with China.
In his decision, Obama ordered Ralls Corp., a company owned by Chinese nationals, to divest its interest in the wind farms it purchased earlier this year near the Naval Weapons Systems Training Facility in Boardman, Ore.
The case reached the president's desk after the Committee on Foreign Investments in the United States, known as CFIUS, determined there was no way to address the national security risks posed by the Chinese company's purchases. Only the president has final authority to prohibit a transaction.
The administration would not say what risks the wind farm purchases presented. The Treasury Department said CFIUS made its recommendation to Obama after receiving an analysis of the potential threats from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.
Morrow County planner, Carla McLane, said the projects had won county approval and construction was under way until CFIUS issued an order in July that halted construction. She said she does not know what the security concerns were.
Each of the four projects consists of five turbines, each with a two-megawatt capacity, for a total of 10 megawatts per project, or a total of 40 for the four. As the crow flies, McLane said, the projects are about 10 miles from the bombing range — as it's known locally.  http://www.startribune.com/business/171821981.html
So, Obama kills a bunch of construction jobs and killed a bunch of green energy jobs and gives no reason for it?
I thought Obama was for jobs and green energy.  I guess not.

Obama Treats Illegal alien Gay Couples The Same As Married Couples

To contact us Click HERE
From the Baltimore Sun: The Obama administration has directed immigration officials to recognize same-sex partners as family members in deportation cases, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said on Friday.
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano told Pelosi in a letter that she had ordered U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to notify its field offices "that the interpretation of the phrase ‘family relationships' includes long-term, same-sex partners."
Pelosi welcomed the federal recognition of gay and lesbian couples. At the same time, she called for more to be done to protect undocumented immigrants in long-term relationships with American citizens.
Napolitano's directive "will provide a measure of clarity and confidence to families dealing with separation in immigration cases," Pelosi said in a written statement. "Our nation is served when loving families are kept together."
But she added: "We need to ... relegate DOMA to the dustbin of history." The 1996 Defense of Marriage Act bars the federal government from extending federal benefits, such as Social Security, to married gay and lesbian couples.  http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/nation-world/sns-rt-us-usa-immigration-gaysbre88s02h-20120928,0,3302966.story

The GOP's Version Of ACORN

To contact us Click HERE
From the Orlando Sentinel: Florida elections officials said Friday that at least 10 counties have identified suspicious and possibly fraudulent voter registration forms turned in by a firm working for the Republican Party of Florida, which has filed an election fraud complaint with the state Division of Elections against its one-time consultant.
The controversy in Florida -- which began with possibly fraudulent forms that first cropped up in Palm Beach County --  has engulfed the Republican National Committee, which admitted Thursday that it urged state parties in seven swing states to hire the firm, Strategic Allied Consulting.The RNC paid the company at least $3.1 million -- routed through the state parties of Florida, Nevada, Colorado, North Carolina and Virginia -- to register voters and run get-out-the-vote operations. Wisconsin and Ohio had not yet paid the firm for get-out-the-vote operations it was contracted to do.
The RNC severed its ties to the firm Thursday after questions arose about the work Strategic Allied did in Palm Beach County, where election officials have turned over to prosecutors 106 voter registration forms submitted by one worker, some of which contained apparent forgeries and other problems.
Now elections officials across Florida are scrutinizing voter registration forms turned in to their counties on behalf of the state Republican Party. The state elections division is also investigating.
Florida GOP officials – who said they hired Strategic Allied at the request of the RNC – alleged in their complaint Thursday that the firm turned in forms with fake signatures and false information, said Chris Cate, spokesman for the Division of Elections, which will turn over its findings to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.  http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/nationworld/la-pn-voter-registration-florida-republicans-20120928,0,7472042.story
I wonder if the GOP and this fraudulent company will be treated the same as the Democrats and the former ACORN group in the media?
The Democrats defended ACORN and the way it handled voter registration while the GOP fired this company.  But I am sure the media and liberals will accuse the the GOP of encouraging voter fraud and registration.

Quote Of The Night

From the Denver Post:
Republican Joe Coors fired his toughest salvo yet at Democrat Ed Perlmutter, saying, "I don't think he could manage a lemonade stand without a federal grant or some subsidies."
The audience at the Arvada Center erupted in cheers at Coors' remark Thursday morning during the first debate between the two 7th Congressional District candidates.
"Forgive me for that dig," Coors said to Perlmutter, "but your claim about outsourcing jobs is clearly false."

Christians File Lawsuit Saying Cops Did Not Protect Them Muslims

To contact us Click HERE
From the Detroit Free Press: A legal center filed a lawsuit this week against the Wayne County Sheriff's Office, claiming its officers failed to protect Christian activists who carried a pig's head while protesting Islam at the annual Arab International Festival in Dearborn.
Filed in Detroit, the lawsuit says that deputy chiefs in the department violated the constitutional rights of the Christian missionaries by not allowing them to "engage in Christian religious speech and expressive activities."...
On June 15, a group of Christian missionaries from California known as the Bible Believers arrived at the Arab festival with large signs denigrating Islam and its prophet. Some of the signs read: "Islam is a religion of blood and murder" and "Muhammad is a ... liar, false prophet, murderer, child molesting pervert." They also carried a pig's head mounted on a pole. Muslims consider pigs to be unclean.
Some youths in the crowd became upset at the signs and started hurling water bottles at the Bible Believers. The lawsuit claims that stones and debris also were hurled.
"We have an angry and violent mob of Muslims intent on suppressing free speech and law enforcement officials aiding and abetting the violence in violation of the Constitution," Muise said.
Paula Bridges, a spokeswoman for Wayne County Sheriff Benny Napoleon, did not comment this week on the lawsuit. In June, she said of the Christian group:
"While Sheriff Napoleon respects everyone's right to freedom of speech, it's unfortunate that some have chosen to exploit and taint what was to be a peaceful, community event."  http://www.freep.com/article/20120928/NEWS05/309280130/Lawsuit-Wayne-County-Sheriff-s-Office-failed-to-protect-Christian-activists-at-Dearborn-festival?odyssey=mod|newswell|text|FRONTPAGE|p
It seems like this "Christian" group wanted to provoke the Muslims into a confrontation.
But if the reverse happened, would the cops protect Muslims from Christians, if the Muslims provoked Christians into fighting them by making fun of Jesus on the cross?  Probably.
If I were a judge and/or jury, I would give the Christian group $1 and tell them to go away.

Obama's Chicago: Judge Kisses Up To Occupy Thugs

To contact us Click HERE
From the Chicago Sun Times:
They were handcuffed, hauled out of Grant Park and stuck in jail for up to 24 hours — even though the maximum penalty for a curfew violation includes no jail time. But now, a judge said the city infringed on the First Amendment rights of hundreds of Occupy Chicago protesters who were arrested last October when they refused to leave Grant Park at its 11 p.m. closing time.Cook County Associate Judge Thomas More Donnelly threw out the charges against 92 of thedemonstrators, saying the curfew law used against them was unconstitutional and violated their right of free assembly. In his 38-page ruling, Donnelly said the city treated the Occupy Chicago rally differently than the Obama 2008 presidential election victory celebration in Grant Park. The judge noted that the Obama rally also violated the curfew, but no one was arrested at that event.Donnelly also alleged that police subjected Occupy Chicago demonstrators to “constantly changing rules and regulations” as the protests shuttled last year between downtown locations.Officials with Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s administration immediately said they planned to appeal. “We are disappointed with the decision,” city Law Department spokesman Roderick Drew said.He later sent a written statement saying the ruling would not change closing times in the city’s 580 parks.  http://www.suntimes.com/15414194-761/judge-throws-out-charges-against-occupy-chicago-protesters.htmlIt's a very simple thing: the protesters chose to break the law and now they go crying to a liberal activist judge who says curfew laws are just for those who make out in cars or just want to hike int he woods.but it also shows that the the Occupy thugs really are not thugs but in reality, are a just a bunch of cowards.  It seems like they cannot do the time for committing a crime.  Just pathetic.Liberal activist judges in Obama's Chicago and they are coming to a town near you.

Obama, Reid, Berkley And Titus Jealous

To contact us Click HERE
From Reuters: President Francois Hollande's Socialist government unveiled sharp tax hikes on business and the rich on Friday in a 2013 budget aimed at showing France has the fiscal rigor to remain at the core of the euro zone.
The package will recoup 30 billion euros ($39 billion) for the public purse with a goal of narrowing the deficit to 3.0 percent of national output next year from 4.5 percent this year - France's toughest single belt-tightening in 30 years.
But with record unemployment and a barrage of data pointing to economic stagnation, there are fears the deficit target will slip as France falls short of the modest 0.8 percent economic growth rate on which it is banking for next year.
The budget disappointed pro-reform lobbyists by merely freezing France's high public spending rather than daring to attack ministerial budgets as Spain did this week as it battles to avoid the conditions of an international bailout.
T
o the dismay of business leaders who fear an exodus of top talent, the government confirmed a temporary 75 percent super-tax rate for earnings over one million euros and a new 45 percent band for revenues over 150,000 euros.
Together, those two measures are predicted to bring in around half a billion euros. Higher tax rates on dividends and other investments, plus cuts to existing tax breaks are seen bringing in several billion more.
Business will be hit with measures including a cut in the amount of loan interest which is tax-deductible and the cutting of an existing tax break on capital gains from certain share sales - moves worth around four billion and two billion euros each.
"The government is impeding investment and so will block innovation," Entrepreneurs Club head Guillaume Cairou said of the preference for raising taxes rather than cutting spending.
"France is sick because of the model it has ... but is choosing to preserve it."
Four months after he defeated Nicolas Sarkozy, Hollande's approval ratings are in free-fall as many French feel he has been slow to get to grips with the economic slow-down and unemployment at a 10-year high and rising.  http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/09/28/us-france-budget-idUSBRE88R0AK20120928
Many of France's rich are already fleeing France so, the French government will not get very much money from the rich.  There will also be a brain drain as these people go to high paying jobs elsewhere, leaving lesser qualified people to do the job.
Th liberals don't get it- it's not the revenue that is the problem to most financial problems, it's the spending.
