1243031 2011-11-11 17:02:00 (California) Budget cuts to ax elite special agent units | VIDEO ( . go . com/kabc/story?section=news/state&id=8427903&cmp=emc-kabc-Top_stories_%7C_ABC7_Los_Angeles-111111-top1-8427903" target="_blank">abclocal . go . com)

From drug kingpins to serial killers and sexual predators, California's secret crime-fighting special agents go after the worst of the worst . Now their ranks have been dismissed as budget pinches cull the already ravaged police and other service departments .

But have no fear - all is well in LaLa Land - Billy Crystal has a job!


LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Actor and comedian Billy Crystal will replace Eddie Murphy as the host of the 84th Academy Awards .

The veteran Oscar host made the announcement via Twitter Thursday afternoon: "(I) Am doing the Oscars so the young woman in the pharmacy will stop asking my name when I pick up my prescriptions . " ( . com/#!/BillyCrystal" target="_blank">twitter . com)

That's a relief - at least we can be entertained while the drug cartels make deeper in-thrusts into our neighborhoods and schools .

California is- or has- shut down alternate fire stations in larger cities, citing that they have enough overlapping coverage to only increase response time to 'only thirty minutes longer - or so' . I guess that's OK if you aren't having a heart attack or got shot and are bleeding out on the sidewalk at the bus stop where some banger decided to kill everybody standing there just to get to one person they don't like .

Is this happening in Upsidedown Land too? The whole system has become dysfunctional and is morally bankrupt and socially broken .

1243038 2011-11-12 02:29:00 Yeah - being a-political yet knowing that things are just wrong is aggravating. Too many oddball ideas here and nothing of any value comes outta it when they lock horns and won't budge.

There is another round of bows being rosined here.
