Warhols that were on display at Pavilion a fews years ago stolen from residence
I had the privilege of meeting Mr. Weisman when he was in town for the exhibit and he invited me to dinner with my friend Berit and some other mucky mucks from the Pavilion. He befriended Berit and she visited him at his Seattle home where she got to see some of his amazing collection. The Weisman museum in Minneapolis is named after Richard’s parents. The O.J. picture is probably worth quite a bit.
Described by Los Angeles police as one of the city’s biggest home robberies in more than a decade, thieves made off with millions of dollars worth of Andy Warhol paintings depicting some of the greatest athletes of the 1970s. The one-of-a-kind paintings included Muhammad Ali, O.J. Simpson and Chris Evert.
Businessman and art collector Richard Weisman has offered a $1 million reward for information leading to the recovery of the 10 silk-screen paintings stolen sometime between Sept. 2 and Sept. 3.
“It’s one of the largest residential burglaries that has occurred in L.A.,” said Los Angeles Police Department detective Don Hrycyk. “Maybe the biggest one in the last 15 years.”
More inaction from the Munson administration
I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that Munson didn’t include the homeless shelter in the 2010 budget;
“This is a huge decision to go it alone,” County Commissioner Carol Twedt said. “We were always under the hope we would have a partner in the city. But we don’t, so we are going to be brave and do the right thing.”
I would support the city’s inaction if 1) The city and county weren’t saving $400,000 a year in emergency services by having this program 2) the city wasn’t spending money on silly ‘Quality of Life’ projects that we don’t need. It seems Munson ducked controversy once again just by doing NOTHING. Pathetic.
Joe Wilson just doesn’t freaking get it
Joe appeared on FAUX News this morning, and said he is done with apologizing because he has money to raise for his campaign (video).
I think this guy says it best;

Gingrich ‘Inadvertently’ Names Porn Company ‘Entrepreneur of The Year’ For Stimulating The Economy (H/T – Helga)
This week, Allison Vivas of Pink Visual received a fax from Newt Gingrich’s American Solutions for Winning the Future (ASWF) group, informing her that she’s been chosen for a 2009 Entrepreneur of the Year award by his Business Defense and Advisory Council. From the letter obtained by ThinkProgress:
Newt would like to arrange a private dinner with you at the historic Capitol Hill Club on the evening of October 7, 2009 in Washington. You’ll dine privately with Newt at this exclusive venue and he’ll take the occasion to present you with your well deserved award and have your photo taken together.
This tremendous honor is a testament to your success in building your business and recognition of the risks you take to create jobs and stimulate the economy. As an award winner, you’ll be on the ground floor as Newt and his Council begin the work to turn this country around. … Newt is looking forward to hearing your ideas on getting the economy moving again and getting your feedback on his plans over dinner.
Pink Visual is a porn DVD superstore — not the type of company you’d expect Gingrich would want stimulating the economy. ThinkProgress contacted Gingrich aide Joe Gaylord, who sent the faxed letter to Vivas, but we didn’t receive a response. An ASWF representative reportedly called Pink Visual this morning saying it had “inadvertently†sent the fax to Vivas and was retracting the honor. Pink Visual’s marketing coordinator Q Boyer didn’t buy the excuse:
“Allison was disappointed to receive a call this morning from an ASWF representative stating that the fax had been sent to her ‘inadvertently,’†Boyer told AVN.com. “We’re not entirely clear on how one ‘inadvertently’ sends a fax to the right person at the correct fax number, so our sense is that this is damage control on the part of a group that is having second thoughts about either recognizing the excellent work of a porn company entrepreneur in light of their own conservative political and social orientation, or having second thoughts about their promotional methodology and communication protocols.â€
