hollywood

The LA neighborhood: the home of the homeless, currently in the process of gentrification

also used to describe the US film industry, which at one time was based in the Los Angeles neighborhood of the same name. nowadays the term is inaccurate because there haven't been too many films actually made in hollywood in years, in fact there are more films made in Vancouver than in all of L.A.

You're more likely to see street people hitting you up for meth money in Hollywood than any movie stars.

George Galloway

The Don Quixote of British politics. Far left wing MP (he was kicked out of Labour for his near-Trotskyist views and started his own party RESPECT), radio talk show host, and occasional reality show contestant. He's been attached to some rather shady dealings in the past and is openly pro-Arab and anti-Zionist. He's a bit of a whack job but charismatic and gutsy as all hell. In looks and charisma he's comparable to Sean Connery although Connery's political views are far different. While I wouldn't vote for him if I lived in his constituency he is a good example of a loveable, entertaining loony and I do have a certain respect for him.

As George Galloway always tells the many Jews who call up his radio show, he is not an antisemite even though he is certainly anti-Israel.

mud races

Derogatory racist term used by white supremacists to describe any group from Africa, the Middle East, or Asia, or of ancestry from any of those places, and sometimes even used to describe people of European ancestry who are considered to be white by normal people. Use of this term generally indicates severe mental illness in the person using it.

To groups like the KKK, Chinese, blacks, Moroccans and South Asians all fall under the inexplicable category of "mud races"

che guevara

A fanatical Argentine communist who joined up with Fidel Castro and became one of the leaders of the Cuban Revolution. Was responsible for the deaths of political prisoners. He was too extreme even for Fidel, so he left Cuba and travelled around the world to foment global revolution (unsuccessfully. His assassination in Bolivia turned him into a martyr, and his picture was widely reproduced on magazine covers, posters, and T-shirts. It didn't hurt that he was one of the few "hot" communist leaders, making him the James Dean of Communism. Today his picture is worn on T-shirts mostly by wealthy American teenagers from extremely privileged backgrounds, ironically the same class he would love to have destroyed, mainly because he was a very good looking man who is vaguely considered a symbol of rebellion.

Very few of the kids who wear Che Guevara T-shirts have the slightest idea about Che's actual political beliefs.

the grove

The Grove is a fake-European upscale shopping mall in the Fairfax District of Los Angeles' west side, near West Hollywood (and not too far from Beverly Hills). It was built to look like a central historic district of an old Mediterranean city like Nice, but it is only five years old. It is a perfect example of "fake history" - building something new that looks like it's old while actual older parts of L.A. are left to decay. It was built next door to the Farmer's Market, a collection of shops that was one of the last landmarks of old Hollywood left. While the Farmer's Market still keeps some of its old vibe with a mixture of tourists and aging locals, the stores in the Grove are the same overpriced "designer chains" that one can find in any mall in America, and the whole place is so fake looking it's sick. The Grove has incredibly worsened traffic on the west side of L.A. particularly all the shortcuts that one could once take to get from the west side to Hollywood are all fucked up now because of the massive traffic of people going to The Grove. I for one wish that it was never built.

"It's been hard to come over to your place ever since The Grove was built, because now there's permit parking on the streets and traffic is really fucked up"
