STUPID DAILY PILOT EDITORIAL TODAY
The editorial bored (misspelling intentional) at the almost daily Daily Pilot, that stinky inky piece of flotsam that calls itself a newspaper, are taking Mayor Mansoor and Councilmembers Bever, Leece and Monahan to task for not showing up to worship at the Obamathon Kool-Aid event the other day.

And of course they praise their fellow traveller Flopsy Katrina Foley who did show up to genuflect.
Part of the stupid reasoning of the Pilot is that Costa Mesa needs to kiss up to the feds to get some of that federal money for "shovel ready" projects.
"Shovel ready" projects?
Who the hell does the Daily Pilot think is going to benefit from such projects?
As we've written before, that money isn't going to come to Costa Mesa to put unemployed citizens to work with shovels.
You're not going to see your unemployed fellow Costa Mesans suddently packing lunch pails each morning as they head over to dig a tunnel from 19th Street down to the Newport Beach border. In fact, you're not not going to see them get any jobs from this money.
The money will go to our bloated municipal government which will then give contracts to asphalt companies and construction companies who more than likely won't even be from Costa Mesa and who won't be hiring any Costa Mesans to do anything.

And, remember, "shovel" is just an expression. There will be few shovels. It'll be mostly heavy equipment that is needed and used, and this equipment uses trained professionals to operate.
The CM PRESS has looked at the list of shovel ready projects prepared by the City of Costa Mesa and we're here to tell you that not one of them will do the things we really need in this city.
They're all things such as resurfacing roads. Again, these are projects that aren't likely to employ Costa Mesans or use Costa Mesa firms.
Also, there's not a penny in the requests for fixing the 55/19th Street mess. Why? Because that's not considered shovel ready.
The projects Costa Mesa submitted are mostly not needed projects. They are "Gee, if we win the lottery and have extra money to throw around, let's do this," projects. Think pork barrel. Think keeping City Staff (who mostly don't live in Costa Mesa) secure in their jobs as they manage the pork.
So, who benefits financially? Not unemployed citizens of Costa Mesa.
The only thing Mansoor did wrong in this Obamathon Daily Pilot manufactured controversy was to talk to someone from the Daily Pilot.

Hey, Mr. Mayor, they're not your pals. They never will be.
