Bruno's father, Brutus, was an old-fashioned news dog in the "Front Page" tradition. He drank a lot and caroused a lot.
For a while he hung around the LA Board of Supervisors, where there was always a lot garbage lying around. They were a really comical bunch in those days thanks in no small part to the legendary news hog Supervisor Kenneth Hahn.
It was said that Kenny Hahn would attend the opening of a stop sign - then hold a news conference. For a while, dad's editor, fed up with Kenny's attempts to get coverage, forbid his name to be mentioned in a story without his approval.
Kenny's son, San Pedro Jim, our former mayor, didn't get the news gene. In fact, he hated reporters, especially those from the Dog Trainer who once staked out his house to see if he was still living with his wife.
During his entire term as mayor, he never once dropped into the Daily News to boost himself. I think my master Ron, the editor of the secessionist propaganda organ, annoyed him.
Kenny's daughter, Janice, on the other hand is a chip of the old block -- some say the blockhead part but there's no doubt others love her like they did her dad.
Ron reported yesterday she tried to pull a fast one by rigging her City Council web site to jump to her lieutenant governor's campaign page if you asked for information on, say, anything.
As Ron said, if that's not illegal, it should be. Janice has now explained she has a bit of problem with all these newfangled computers and it was a big mistake.
Do not get behind this woman in line at an ATM!
And today, a reader provides the photo of the day. There she is, the good Democratic daughter of a renowned, if wacky, Democratic father and sister of our former Democratic mayor, posing with former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld - despised by the left for his leading us in the Iraq War.
I guess she didn't see it coming five years ago when Rummy's War was already getting old, didn't see it coming that she would be running for statewide office (who did?).. All she saw was the camera.
Kenny, who would have posed with the Unabomber if it had gotten him on the front page, must be smiling in heaven.
The other two guys in the picture are former LAPD Chief Bill Bratton, who is a little to the right of Rumsfield, and legendary political consultant Joe Cerrell, who's there because Janice is there, of course. Joe would have represented the Unabomber if he ran for office.
Janice's opponent in the Democratic primary for lieutenant governor is State Sen. Dean Florez from the Central Valley town of Shafter. (Rhythms with shaft her.) You really can't make this stuff up!.
About 10 minutes after this is posted, I expect a conga line of smiling consultants to be snaking their way around Florez' campaign office.
They can send the steak bones to me in care of Ron.
Woof!

I cant tell if Bruno or his owner likes Janice Hahn or the other Hahns.
Generally, I like Janice. Nice woman who does seem to care about her constituents, if not the brightest light.
But...when she says her job is to get every city staffer a job, that means she has lost her way....or is running for higher office and needs public employee support.
Can any Democrat take on UTLA and CTA and some other of these public employee unions? Dont think so.
They claim it evens up all the fat cat money the Republicans get. Which is true. But it makes them both corrupt.
Really, can anyone beat Tony V. for being a publicity hound? He'd pose presenting Charles Manson with a prison care package, and it wouldn't even have to go on the front page. Page 11 would do.
Nothing, but nothing beats T.V.'s doggedly pursuing the photo-op when the ink was hardly dry on the stories about the criminal in a cassock, Cardinal Roger " Don Corelone" Mahoney who aided, abetted and protected child abusing priests and used every legal trick in the book to avoid going to prison.
Maybe worse, I'm not sure, he's not alone in kissing up and bending over to kiss the hem of that shameful, horrid, child-ruining man's skirts.
What a world these human run.

Let me credit Zuma Dogg who brought the mindless rantings of Janice Hahn to my attention. He was kind.
Our Dear 11% Mayor would attend the opening of a door.
He was in LA Times today with Ringo Starr on his getting his star of fame. As a Beatle fan, I was offended to see this heap of dung sullying this great moment.
"Our Dear 11% Mayor would attend the opening of a door."
Good one, Jack!
Woof
Rhythms?
