Hi, I'm Larry Mantle. You May Remember Me From Such Films As "Billionaires Are People Too", "The Bachelor And The Billionaire", and "The Bitter Tears Of Megan Von Wittmann"

Right-Leaning,
Senile Dickweeds CAN Work In
Public Radio
But today will be a bit different. Instead of my favorite topic, the inhumanity of humanity (to billionaires), I will instead discuss a completely new topic: Why are people so darn mean to overpaid administrators?  Take Bell, California, for example.  Well, hey now, that's a hard job to be the city manager of town nobody has even fucking heard of.  So why shouldn't he be paid 4 times what the President of the United States earns?  I mean, you have to work a lot of hours.  Poor people don't understand work, as they spend most of their time collecting unemployment/stealing/selling drugs, so people who are struggling to make ends meet and have to work 16 hour shifts managing a 7-11 and can't afford child care so they still have to pick up their kids from school and somehow go to work the rest of the week without enough sleep--those people will never understand hard work.

Seriously, I mean, managing a city--no one can do that. No one has ever done that.  I doubt that any one ever will.  So how could we expect city workers laid off during the Great Recession, to understand that they are expendable while the city manager needs a wage rise?  Well, they can't, of course.

But I'm sure that Jerry Brown will try to make this scandal into political hay--after all, his biggest supporters are high-level administrators, city council members, and county supervisors.  Or so I appear to believe.  But I also appear to believe that these people are independently wealthy, so go figure.

And please remember that just as Rush Limbaugh is a hate-spewing, homophobic reactionary racist, so Keith Olbermann (or Jon Stewart) must (by some inverse property of human nature I don't call what to know it is)--they must be hate-spewing leftists.  It's that simple, and simplicity works.

And remember, you can only get this quality radio--me babbling on like an old crank--at KPCC.  And don't even think of joining KCRW instead--that station is run by a load of pill-popping techno fans wearing Che Guevara t-shirts.  So send us money.  Thank you and goodnight.
