Supervisor Zev Yaroslavsky, for example, has spent more than $200,000 to support his new website along with Facebook and Twitter accounts, according to interviews and a Times review of documents obtained through the state Public Records Act.

The disgusting taste in my mouth are the supervisors in LA who use at their will their $34 million to do whatever they like to do. Funny how this dude is up for reelection this year. You might ask me, “$200,000 for a really successful website seems justifiable.” Here is my rebuttal:

In its first four months, Yaroslavsky’s new site had 19,000 unique visitors.

The daily tally appears to be half what it was before the makeover. Yaroslavsky deputy Joel Sappell said the drop-off is due to a change in the way visitors are counted. As of Wednesday afternoon, Yaroslavsky had 138 fans on Facebook and 70 followers on Twitter. Sappell, a former Times editor who heads the effort and other special projects, earns a salary of $142,000, plus benefits.

He recently got a 5.5% raise.

Meanwhile, department heads’ salaries are frozen.

Are you kidding me? 19,000 unique visitors, 138 fans on facebook and 70 followers on twitter?

I hope these supervisors can evaluate their job duties and try to provide jobs as i know that the unemployment rate in CA is 11.2%. Or better yet, do some internal evaluations and start running stuff efficiently.

When I first saw the link to this story I laughed because I’ve actually wondered if people eat/drink excess mommy milk. Well, I’ve tried mommy’s milk but it was more out of curiosity. This chef though has taken that curiosity and straight up made it into a gourmet dish. I really don’t know what to think about this but I do know that my stomach is turning as I’m thinking about it.

Chef Daniel Angerer is the guilty one. His opening paragraph explains why he did it perfectly.

My cooking instincts are rather natural (e.g., sourcing ingredients from the local market, eating sustainable seafood, buying free-range-all-natural poultry, and I certainly love a steroid free steak) but THIS is a whole other level of “natural” – Mommy’s Milk, from a human mommy, not a cow, sheep or goat …

Definitely a “WHOLE OTHER LEVEL OF NATURAL”.

For some weird reason, this made me laugh.

I think what is more disturbing is how many mcdonalds there are in America.
