Mayor Villaraigosa stops by LA briefly on his way to see Obama

At right about this minute Thursday evening, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa is boarding a red-eye flight to Florida for a three-day U.S. Conference of Mayors meeting. He'll also meet with presumptive Democratic Party presidential nominee Barack Obama and, what the heck, do a little fundraising for himself as long as he's in the Sunshine State.

Friday morning, according to The Times' Phil Willon, Villaraigosa will speak to a group of Latin American mayors, and then on Saturday the mayor -- who campaigned so ardently for someone else, someone named Hillary Clinton -- will join other big-city mayors for a session with Obama.

Can someone please can explain to me that insipid plan to encourage more population by giving baby bearers a 500 dollar gift that would be put into an investment account and theoretically grow into thousands and thousands of dollars by the time the tike was old enough to go to college.

Has anyone every come up with a dumber plan based on encouraging more population than this plan hatched by our Mayor and friends recently?

Now he's off on airplanes every few days to learn about global warming and whatever else.
