Comments on: L.A. Transit chief still owns Hummer but waxes lyrical about rail http://greenlagirl.com/l-a-transit-chief-still-owns-hummer-but-waxes-lyrical-about-rail/ Urban environmental lifestyle blog in Los Angeles Sat, 26 May 2012 08:36:06 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Brandon Lee http://greenlagirl.com/l-a-transit-chief-still-owns-hummer-but-waxes-lyrical-about-rail/comment-page-1/#comment-508149 Brandon Lee Tue, 09 Feb 2010 01:20:09 +0000 http://greenlagirl.com/?p=16685#comment-508149 There was a somewhat recent article in a car magazine comparing the how the lifetime of a Hummer and Prius are to the environment. Over a certain period of time, I think 5-10 years a Hummer is less toxic to the environment. So driving a Hummer isn't necessarily so bad. Of course driving a 40mpg Civic would make more sense for the local government that should be setting the example. But then again I don't really understand who voted for the majority of people in office for LA City.

And then there is the Mayor. He called a press conference to ask for privacy about his affair with the First Television New Reader. He told the public that he values his family as he spent years disrespecting his wife and children with a sordid set of affairs. The mayor says he works so hard to protect the poor. Then he essentially mocks them as he sips expensive wine, wears extravagant clothing, and runs around town with the Second Television News Reader. ("I am no longer one of you"is his implicit message.) The Mayor and his administration is Marie Antoinette in male drag.
