On vacation***
Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa's office announced late Thursday that he is out of the city on vacation thorugh July 10. No word on where he went, other than to say that Council President Eric Garcetti is acting mayor in his absence.
** Sources indicate the mayor is going to South Africa to participate in a scholarship program for 400 young people, which has featured Nelson Mandela and former President Bill Clinton in the past.
And, for the curious, the mayor is taking his new friend, television reporter Lu Parker, with him.

Crap on a cracker, thanks for spilling about Villariagosa's newest brain surgeon's whereabouts. No one would say where Moonbeam was. Check out my Sacramento Political Humor blog, when you have time. www.numerounocomedy.blogspot.com
