Stupid Is As Stupid Does

Who ends up paying for the Lakers Victory Parade? Is this really the time to have a party when California is broke and Los Angelinos and police are being laid off left and right?

The Los Angeles police officers' union isn't happy with the compromise the city struck with the Lakers to share the costs of Wednesday's parade celebrating the team's world championship victory.

Paul M. Weber, president of the Los Angeles Police Protective League, said the city should not be paying for the parade at a time when workers are facing layoffs and forced furloughs.

I won't forget the mess the rioters made after the Laker's win Sunday evening either. Helicopter after helicopter and siren after siren rumbled over my house and blared down the street, heading towards the Staple Center in downtown Los Angeles.

Are they stupid or something?

I don't mean to sound like a downer with everyone and their dog celebrating the victory of this ..uhhh...basketball team the Lakers. It's pretty obvious I'm not much of a sports fan.
I'm watching the big broo-ha-ha at the wal-to-wall filled Coliseum stadium right now on the news. But really, how much of an impact is this going to make on Los Angelinos for the rest of their lives? Or tomorrow for that matter?
I know...it's all in fun. I just wished I weren't stuck with the tab.
