forget it jake, it's chinatown

The Bou' quotes:

"We could have ramrodded that thing through with the mayor and the City Council, but we said, 'Let the voters decide,' " said City Councilwoman Janice Hahn. "It was an opportunity to vote, and they voted."

Before you go and think that's democracy in action in the city of angels, the Bou' wants you to know that's a reference to putting it up for a vote, the public voting it down, and Los Angeles city council and the mayor deciding to go ahead and do what they wanted all along after the public had their opportunity to vote no and then be promptly ignored.

Like the Bou' said: forget it jake, it's chinatown.
