IMPRESSIVE VOTE FOR THE FAR RIGHT IN FRANCE
Not enough to win, but strong enough to force the two leaders facing a run off to come with hats in hands offering things that the far right wants.
If things work out for the far right, they may get serious curbs on immigration and some seats at the table in a new government. They've already gained a ton of credibility and the main stream politicians on the left and middle right are now saying nice things about the far right instead of calling them names.

JOHN CARTER FILM FLOP KILLS CAREER OF DISNEY CHIEF
Story should have been changed from Mars to a far distant world. Disney should have realized that SciFi fans wouldn't buy Mars as a location.

PUNK KARZAI WON'T LET ROHRABACHER INTO AFGHANISTAN
Corrupt Karzai doesn't like Rohrabacher looking into where all the U.S. money is going and how much of it might be going into Karzai's pockets.

PLANNING COMMISSION AGENDA FOR TONIGHT'S MEETING
Bryan Coggins is back again tonight with another small lot development for the Westside. This latest request is to build six units at 2070 Maple Ave. (See Public Hearings, Item 4, for more details).
Coggins is one of the first developers to take advantage of the relaxed standards put in place with the Westside Plans.
These relaxed standards give extra incentives to developers to build on the Westside and begin the transformation of the area.
The hope of many Improvers is that small lot developers won't just concentrate on buying up single family residential properties that exist in residential areas of the Westside and then build several units on the lots (which can cause street parking problems), but that these developers will begin developing lofts in the industrial area of the Westside bluffs.
As we said at the last Planning Commission meeting, the units that Mr. Coggins' builds look very much like lofts on the outside but are then built out on the inside with a number of rooms. Our point was that it shouldn't take too much effort or expense to redesign what looks like Coggins' standard model buildings into lofts and plop them down in the industrial area.
We wonder if the Planning Commission and the City Council might eventually make suggestions similar to ours to developers. We think there's money to be made by those who are ready and able to put in lofts on the bluffs.
We think the City should do a better job in letting developers know that there is dual zoning on the Westside bluffs that allows both industrial and residential uses and that residential uses are encouraged.
