Unimpressed by Jim O'Shea

Regarding Times editor Jim O'Shea discovering Los Angeles...

 Wow. This is really confidence-restoring.

Jim O'Shea knows SO little about Los Angeles that he describes it as "fascinating" ....and then he moves to the furthest beach suburb he can find without actually leaving the West Coast: Manhattan Beach.

I'm SO excited about reading even LESS news in the "new" L.A. Times under O'Shea's leadership. In the words of one of our favorite hometown girls, Moon Unit Zappa, "Gag me with a spoon."

Judy Graeme | How is it that until about a week ago I'd never heard of the surrealist photographer Francesca Woodman? We even went to the same school.
Phil Wallace | Seventeen years after the Rams and Raiders left town, neither team is better off. Now both are threatening to move back.

Parents have won partial restoration of federal poverty funds for 23 schools in the San Fernando Valley and the Westside. Many of the schools are in middle class neighborhoods but have substantial numbers of poor students.
