Snarky Larry fesses up that his mom's still paying his bills. How is it somebody who runs the local newspaper canafford vacations at the beach and a mansion on the hill but has to get moms to pay for the kid's school?
Here's what Snarky told us today.
My grandmother, Regina Veale Wilson, went all the way through Pasadena public schools. As did my father, Milt Wilson. As did I. Our daughter began in the publics and transferred to an independent, Sequoyah, and two Catholics, La Salle and Alverno. All were the right choices for her at the time. Don't imagine that on a newspaperman's salary private schools were a realistic choice - blessedly, wildly generously, as is her wont, my mother, Marka Hibbs, paid all the tuition. Julia graduated gratefully from Alverno this month, where she had a fantastic education.
Honestly, who the f*ck cares?

I'm fortunate that my family helped me out with my kids tuition. I still worked a second job. Exactly how much does an editor make? And if he's married does his wife work? Maybe since the last couple of his columns have not done well ... he's trying to keep it real with the little people.
Who knows?....
Harsh.
VH,
As much as I disagree with Virginia - (the real one) if you are going to try and be an imposter and imitate her you might be bright enough to realize that her posts link back to her home page - not her blog. If you click on her name her home page comes up.
If I click on your name it goes directly to her blog. Her posts also include her photo ... it's easy to see you are not her.
VH and I called a truce a while back. Sorry you are on the late train. Enough dust has been kicked up on this site without a troll whose too stupid to be a troll.
Come on now ... get a job.
Zuh?
I agree Dormitas. This is definitely too much idiocy.
Fuckity fuck fuck
So who's masquerading as Virginia Hoge if it ain't her? Honestly, if this one';s fake they're doin' a decent imitation of three bricks shy of a wall Ginny.
So, who are these pretender? Snarky Larry? Fake Weakly writers? Aaron Proctor's ghost risen from the grave? (Philly, six feet under-same difference.) or is it Virginia herself doing a clever imitation of herself being herself but bein' enough different to make us all think twice?
Or is it Angel Bec who's the imposter?
Who gives a fuck, how about y'all just quit it? Quit baggin' on the dead and gone so's I don' gotta start moderating posts or deletin' some a this crap?

Dormitas,
It's not me. As much as I have disagreed with what both AP and VH have said on this blog - I respect the right of them to say it whether I agree with it or not.
Due to the fact that there was a high school reunion notice on your blog and many posts that were obviously trolls I voiced an opinion.
I have better things to do than to try and imitate others. I always post with my name and I have agreed to disagree with you and others on the blog.
Simmer down and get a cup of coffe - learn how to spell and chill out - your comment was nasty and unnecessary.
Thanks.
I'm not sure what was up with the high school reunion post. It didn't seem to come from any of our approved posters and now it's gone.
Magic internet or subversive Taliban incursion?
There's another week of no council meeting, so I'll chill some and decide what to do next.
I am hereby banning all mention of Aaron Proctor, since the only one who brings it up is Virginia Hoge, or the lifelike version that's posting here. I may moderate posts, stop allowing comments altogether or just shut down and migrate elsewhere.
It's my blog and I'll do what I want with it.
D.
I appreciate your blog, your humor and your breakdowns of the City Council meetings. With that being said I only watch the council meetings based on your comments. It helps me wade through the trash. I apologize for my snippiness. I appreciate your hard work and would be bummed if this blog was pulled down.
I'll chill out and make sure that I think before I post and not get caught up in the BS.
Have a great 4th - God Bless America.
Guys...and Gals,
Don't let the Virginia Hoge's of the world get you down...your site provides an interesting and entertaining insight into the goings on of Pasadena.
Take your break and think about your original goals for the blog..... then get back in the saddle and keep up the good work!
Listen to the Gil man.
