Last night Jason DeRusha asked Good Question: Should Uninformed Voters Stay Home? It’s a constant message on Election Day: get out and vote. It’s generally accepted that the more voters, the better.

One of the most awkward things about being part of a minority is that you are at once the local spokesperson for the Minority, and the first person the Majority goes to for comfort. For example, the day after Prop. 8 passed, I was sitting in my office, my little fit of depression tempered by ... Continue Reading

Well, I guess that happened months ago, perhaps when people started Fairey-ing their Facebook photos. But I wonder if this image of a dog with the word “ADOPT,” which I snapped in Marina del Rey, adds to the universal iconography idea that might help Fairey in his lawsuit with the Associated Press. ...

And what’s called “central” is not. In fact, for downtown workers accustomed to voting at the courthouse, there’s nowhere to vote throughout the early-voting period, which continues through Friday, October 30, apart from provision for “mobile voting” that appears at different locations each day. The county site listing early-voting locations available throughout the period lists ... Continue Reading

Bob Hope Patriotic Hall is one of those odd, old downtown buildings south of the 10 Freeway that seem to belong to an era that never quite happened. It ’s one of a scattering of big structures, pioneers of some long ago developmental lunge preempted in the `50s by the I-10’s construction. Its ornate top ... Continue Reading
