Random Musings from the Westside of Los Angeles - and some thoughts about food

Wednesday, March 01, 2006

Sure, sure one isn't supposed to talk about such things but hey - I just saw Robert Redford by my dentist's office! I can add that to my sightings list which includes

Anthony Edwards - airline club/LAX
Al Pacino - Toys R Us
Jon Voight - LAX
Pierce Brosnan - LAX
Dick Van Dyke - Best Buy
Ahnuld - several times in/around Santa Monica
Slash - bicycle shop
Lyle Lovett - motorcyle dealership (he later purchased it)
Scott Bakula - LAX
Dennis Hopper - art gallery

and probably some others that have slipped my mind. No biggie overall, but still - Robert Redford!

Interesting piece on L.A. schools (and attitudes towards low income students generally)

http://www.dailyhowler.com/dh030106.shtml

If liberals care about public schools, and about low income people in general, why are schools in a liberal Democratic stronghold so darn bad? I don't have the answers, but the article raises some great points.

Many affluent liberals in the L.A. area shell out approximately 20k/year for private school - why not spend the same time/attention on our local district?
