Parking Problem Identified

Seen here,

Mikey D'

& 

The Academic Clowns of Unintended Consequences,

performing their famed "Who US?" routine.

On their way to Annual UCLA Hubris Banquet

But WAIT WAIT !

If you are gonna send any version of this anywhere.......

Make it THIS one

 

 

Seen here,

UCLA student Alex F,

being "mentored" by Mikey"D"

 

Alex...read your history man!

The use of children on the front lines is, when possible, eschewed by adults.

 

Thanks for your offer to form a "student" Parking Organization*

* (read: Dukakis Project)

 

 Unfortunately, this "fake" issue is now in the real world.

 

And while it no doubt serves Professor Shoup and Mikey D

to insert you, as a front, into our lives;

the moral dearth exhibited by your two exploiters is quite revealing.

 

We can relate to your obvious need to create a Master's thesis;

however, at this point, after already screwing everything up for a Town, 

any input from you or the Dukakis~Shoup Fake Parking Problem Project

does not interest us.

 

The inherent conflict of interests on the part of yourself, Mr. Shoup and Mikey D,

should be obvious to a 4th grader.

 

 

When postured towered academic lecternal idealism

collides with the street level realism of the interactive human social structure,

the results are most often foolish and quite destructive.

You guys had your turn, you did the Dukakis' dirty work.

 

It matters not to us:

If you were unaware of the consequences of your efforts

on behalf of your instructors

OR

If you were fully aware of the consequences

and you did it anyway...

 

either position demonstrates clearly

why we have no need of your services.

n'est ce pas?

 

Now its our turn.

 

When we, (actual residents and owners)  need a college kid

to help us defend our equity, lifestyle and neighborhood

from pandering disingenuous washed up political types

and Professorial Pundits of the Obvious,

we will be certain to call you first.

 

 Alex...

You are now a pawn in a grotesque charade.

 

A neighborhood and City are disrupted;

faced with a series of wholly unneccessary

and problematic confrontations...

all because:

Mrs D. had a tantrum over something that is none of her business,

Mikey the Perfect One, jumps to the rescue,

Shoup gets 15 minutes more attention for his silly book,

disabled Americans were mocked,

 in pursuit of salving one family's pompous arrogance.

 

This is not about Public Policy Alex..

this is about an overbearing bully

cynically abusing the system to get his way,

in service to his family's self perceived/anointed entitlement.

 

How sad...

You should be ashamed to walk next to this man.

 

ADA Regulations?

Pleeeeeease....

that is disgusting.

 

Mikey is a Politician Alex...

Politicians say anything to garner and maintain attention.

Unfortunately, a man who will say anything, will do anything;

figuring that if you aren't smart enough to "catch on"

you  deserve whatever you get

OR

that by your failure to stop their delusion,

you have given them permission. 

 

While this might be an appropriate developmental perspective

for say a 5 year old, it is aught but sad and dangerous in a grown man

 

 

Wake Up Alex...

We Villagers have our own Committee, thank you very much.

You and the other "kids" will need to find another Class project.

 

We are not interested in arguing to the "ideal"

The "idea"'would be for UCLA to look at the practice of a Part-Time Professor

using UCLA students and faculty to manipulate local government

in order to please his wife.

 

We suggest you offer your services to your Alma Mater.

Perhaps you can do a better job than Mr. Shoup, of informing UCLA

and the State that it is THEY who are the problem, and who must conform to the law ;

not the Resident Home OWNERS/Voters.

 

Decency and common sense demands UCLA solve

the problem, (as it is wholly created by them),

by Parking their Students and Employees on UCLA Property.

(The Football Stadium could probably hold many many cars.)

 

Perhaps this Public (State of California School) University

could apply some of the tens of millions of Dollars

from Network B'Ball and Football payments toward solving this issue

with construction of some appropriate off site

pay parking for UCLA Students and Employees.

 

You've been had Alex.

 

Step aside and let the real creators of this fiasco

take the heat for their cynicism and hubris.

If the case is that strong, why do they need you?

 

You have read Shakepeare and Machiavelli...yes?

 

They get paid plenty of money to stand before, and awe "20 somethings",

stand back Alex, and make 'em earn it in front of "50 somethings",

out from under your well meaning shadow.

 

Alex, we assume you are a reasonable and decent fella...

no offense is actually meant to you personally.

 

 

 

But in life, "if you lie down with dogs..." etc.

( Alex ,please note just how many "players"

in National politics make it a point not to stand

next to Mikey in Photo-ops).

 

There are so much more noble and meaningful fights to have.

This sad and paltry episode is not the result

of a majority outcry nor a minority slight.

It is upon us because of one family's need to prove

how much better they are,

than they are.

 

 

 

Healthy adults do not ask children to solve adult problems.

 

Period.

 

 

OOPS!

Caught on tape !!

 

At a secret Mountain Hideaway

carved into Mt. Whitney

at 14,000' elevation.

 

 

Governor Schwarzenegger,

Los Angeles City Council,

Regents of UCLA,

Mikey and Kat Dee,

Professor Shoup,

(and the Shoupettes),

Los Angeles City Attorney,

Police Chief O'Bratton,

Mayor V,

and delegates from every

Concrete & Parking Lot Contractor

on the Planet;

meeting in super secret session

to discuss strategies and tactics

to be implemented in a media barrage 

designed to speak-shift

100% of the blame*

onto the victims of the crime,

*responsibility

and consequences 

for the disastrous results

of:

 UCLA's irresponsible

over development,

Professor Shoup's gift

for the obvious,

Kitty's taste,

Mike's ego,

and

his

cynical political manipulation

of the process ,

while shamelessly exploiting 

disabled human beings

in order to "just Win Baby." ~~ )

 

...while at the same time

 devaluing  thevictims'properties,

needlessly distressing thousands 

throughout entire neighborhoods;

further penalizing them

with selective prosecutions

...all to satisfy the egos of 

2 part-time residents. 

 

 

The meeting was made public

only after being raided by the 

 

A.D.A.

Wheelchair

Mountain Assault & Enforcement

Team,

 

who were called in apparently

by none other than Mrs. D !

(she has the crack team

 on speed dial.)

 

She later confirmed:

"she was upset at the ugliness

of cars tandem parked

at the overburdened

 super secret meeting place

parking lot."

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Moved all the way from Boston can't get rid of him !

BRAVO...!!!!
Whoever is posting this stuff really understands the Dukakis style.
As a former Bay Staters who had to endure the Dukakis Mystique TWICE,
we can tell you that the "BOOM" times he engineered were based on flim flam public works projects and fat contracts for his frinds.

When he(They) left to pretend to run for the Presidency,
(a horrifying testament to the weaknesses within the Democratic Party at the time)
The Massachusetts "Miracle" fell flat on its face and the State faced the largest deficit in its history.
The Dukakis' love to meddle and are adept at abusing the system.

I hope we (Villagers)can face down this partnership.

He is very good at "fixing" fights. They make sure they win
by avoiding the public process as much as possible.

We thought we had left them behind when we moved here in '89.

Someone needs to explain to us, exactly WHY does the Village need any MORE input from these two?

Anyway,
thanks for painting an accurate picture of them.

If you squint you can just make it out...

Night stalking Ukakudisian Peacock

seen here, preening in Westwood Forest;

an opportunistic nocturnal creature

with an annoying and raucous screech;

known to attract attention by strutting

before younger members of the flock;

relies almost exclusively on camouflage

and arrognce in order to survive.

 

 

Extremely difficult to see in urban environs;

Known to hide behind Disabled Americans.

Reprise

 

Yes Your Majesties No Your Majesties

"Yes, Your Majesties,

No, Your Majesties,

Give Us A Kick If You Will,

Your Majesties.."

 

 

Thanks Again Mike & Kitty !

Can't tell ya

how much we appreciate you

flattening our home equity

and disrupting the hood

with your cynical meddling.

 

You two are more fun 

than an earthquake..

well done, you two odd & crazy kidz!

 

 

While you are busy

Hijacking our Local Government

and playing with our lives....

perhaps you could take a moment 

to jot down any other little things

that offend your Highness' taste.

 

OR....

If you are just too too busy,

you could have your

Junior Assistant West Coast Promotion Man,

Prince Alex,

tell us

what we,

of the lower castes, 

can do

to makeover our neighborhood

in your images,

and thereby please you more.

on site survey of Mt. Whitney (Elev. 14,480')

The study was begun after Mrs. Dukakis

determined that the Mount Whitney was "ugly"

and failed to conform to accessibility guidelines

in the Americans w/ Disabilities Act.

Plans call  for the site to be bulldozed,

thus making the majestic mountain into a molehill.

Officials have already approved construction

of UCLA off-site meterd parking lots

and much needed extra storage space for the Dukakis' egos.

Proposed Village Project Solution:

South Central Tandem Parking Committee Meeting

Someone,

Anyone,

Get Mikey D.

a higher paying job at U.S.C.

 

Perhaps that neighborhood

could use some of that old fashioned "Mikey D"

charisma mixed with back room manipulations

to effect some meaningful changes 

in ohers' lives and futures.

 

Naturally,

being anointed ones,

the Dukakis' personal tastes and preferences

will dictate the New Order in the neighborhood.

 

And the Parking....?

Its to die for!

THEATRE & POLITICS

PLEASE BE ADVISED:

THERE WOULD BE NO NEED FOR ANY SUCH TOWN MEETING, IF THE ROYAL DUKAKIS' HADN'T ALREADY BETRAYED THE VILLAGE AND USURPED THE RIGHTS AND ATTENTIONS OF GOVERNMENT AND THE RESIDENTS.

 

ANY "DEMOCRATIC" PROCESS HAS ALREADY BEEN
CO-OPTED BY MR. DUKAKIS'  POLITICIAN'S BACKROOM

GLAD-HAND-SHAKES.

 

THOSE WHO KOW-TOWED TO HIS EGO,

WILL NEVER BACKTRACK TO THE REASONED AND RATIONAL SOLUTION;

WHICH WAS TO LEAVE WELL ENOUGH ALONE.

 

THIS MEETING WILL, (DESPITE  EFFORTS TO PUT A COMMUNITY FACE ON IT,)  BE ALL ABOUT MR. DUKAKIS.

IT IS WHAT HE LIVES FOR. ONLY A HUBRIS FILLED PUNK WOULD HAVE THE TEMERITY TO SHOW UP.

HE EXPECTS TO BE THE "LEADER", AND THAT'S THAT. 

 

GIVEN MR. DUKAKIS' MASSACHUSETTS ROOTS,

DUNKING OR AT THE VERY LEAST SHUNNING,

SEEM MORE APPROPRIATE RESPONSES TO THESE TWO SELF-IMPORTANT TATTLE TALES.

 

DUKAKIS HAS ALREADY SHOWN HIS DISDAIN FOR THE RESIDENTS AND THE PROCESS.

HIS PARTICIPATION AT THIS STAGE IS NAUSEATING.

IT LENDS NEW MEANING TO "BEAU GESTE"

AND "DOG & PONY SHOW."

 

ITS DONE.

THE PUNK GOT HIS WAY.

LET HIM CELEBRATE ALONE, RATHER THAN

AFFORDING HIM ANY FURTHER OPPORTUNITIES

FOR SELF AGGRANDIZEMENT.

 

FOLKS, THE EMPEROR NEVER HAD ANY CLOTHES,

DO NOT FALL FOR A TEMPORARY COSTUME.

 

HE WILL BEGIN WITH AN APOLOGY AND THEN SEEK TO SHOW US "HOW WE CAN ALL WORK TOGETHER",

THROUGH MIKE DUKAKIS, OUR LORD AND SAVIOUR.

YUCHHHHHHH

 

 

GIVE THESE TWO THE COLD SHOULDER, NOT THE PULPIT.

 

BAH

Barefoot in the Parking Lot

 

Never open a show in L.A

Hmmm........

I imagine about now,

The Chief O' Police

The Right Honourable etc etc & so forth Bratton

is wishin' he'd never picked up the call from Mikey D.

 

 Cast:

(Images may or may not be accurate or up to date)

 

Professor Shoup

 

played by Don T. Park-Thayer

 

will no doubt win the coveted  "Who Me? Award;

for managing to take California Taxpayers' money for his salary,

yet somehow not bothering to share his Grand Pooh-Bah of Parking expertise,

or his vast knowledge of enforceable sanctions against institutions,

with the one true offender in this scenario;his employer,

UCLA.

 

 

Alex "Newcomer" Faye

 

(played by himself ?) 

comes closest to delivering.

But alas, he is but a promising actor

who has now attached his star

to a wagon wheel

and been left holding the bag

to cover for the real troublemaker

of this disastrous play without a play.

 

 

 

Mikey M.C. "L'il Tank" D

 

(as played by Count Dukakis)

 

In crafting his curious performance

of a pompous yet bumbling Iago,

Mr. Dukakis is revealed as having as much to do with

"the people" and their processes...

as Man of La Mancha has to do with the literature of Cervantes.

 

 

The Actual Residents of Westwood Village

(played by the actual residents of Westwood Village)

A bravura performance, given the theatrical and systemic

lack of humanity, vision or integrity exhibited by the director.

 

 

Crowdsley Bothers

 

At Last !

 

 

 

Seen here is the Newest Design

for the Dukakis Parking Wheel.

With monies from the

ADA Rapid Response First Strike Fund,

The Dukakis Project has just completed

its15 minute study of the problem

and has issued its long awaited

Papal Bull on the solution.

The City of Los Angeles,

in an effort to fall all over itself,

has agreed to table all other considerations,

until the ADA mandated

project is completed.

 

 

The Dukakis Group

has begun implementing the first stages of the

Westwood Village

Parking Accommodation

& 

Master Auto De-exacerbation Plan.

 

The Dukakis Plan,

with full support of UCLA Parking Professor

Donald "Beemer" Shoup and Chief O'Police Bratton,

calls for the Installation of 56 of these Parking Wheels

throughout the Residential Grid of Westwood Village

at a cost of $11,000,000,000.

 

The City intends to raise the funds

by imposing a new seni annaul 100% Equity Tax,

on property owners in the Village.

 

UCLA Fraternities,

and Part-Time Personnel will be exempted

 

Groundbreaking will begin the moment

Mrs. Dukakis sets foot in Westwood.

The Construction Company of Dukakis, Dukakis & Disney,

a Rhode Island based firm,

will be the Primary Contractors.

Tanks but No Tanks

Dear Mike & Kitty:

Thanks for your kind offer to form a Neighborhood Organization.

A. Your Arrogance is only equaled by your narcissism

B. Your cynicism is unequaled

C. This is Los Angeles,

     we know a hyped personality when we see one.

     Remember Mike,

this is a movie town,

the images only look 25 

    feet tall on the screen.

    Careers fail when the hyped

begin to believe they are real.

    Being a Politician and all,

we would have thought you knew this

D. In this town we know a star when we see one or make one.

E. Being in a Neighborhood Organization would seem to require

     that one actually be one. (Neighbor)  

F.So, kindly repack your carpetbags and beat the Winter 

   within the pale of some other warm weather community.
