LA cartoonist depicts strange, imaginary world of ‘Barack Hussein Obama’
Comic strip artist Steven Weissman is back to work. That’s because the main character in his most recent book of comic strips is sticking around for four more years.
That character – and the surreal, darkly humorous strip – have the same name: "Barack Hussein Obama."

The Story: Time for a Change
All this week, to commemorate the New Year, Dick will be talking with people who have made big changes in their lives…in one way or another. Shannon Hayes always thought she’d be an academic. She earned her PhD but then decided not to follow the traditional career path. Instead she’s raising cattle.

Connecting all of LA’s trains
Take a light rail train from Pasadena, and the farthest west you can get is Alameda Street, east of downtown. Ditto if you take a train from the Eastside Extension. Take a train from Long Beach, or, in another few years, from Santa Monica, and you face the same problem in reverse: the farthest east you can get is Flower Street. That means someone going from Pasadena to Long Beach has to take three different trains just to get across downtown. There’s got to be a better way. And there is—at least on paper. It’s called the “regional connector”: a two-mile track through downtown that would let trains run directly from Pasadena or Boyle Heights to Santa Monica or Long Beach. The question: where and how to build it? Metro is currently holding public meetings to discuss routes. The first one was Tuesday at the Japanese American National Museum. The next one is Monday, Oct. 4th, at 11:30 am at the Los Angeles Police Department headquarters.
Guest: Steve Hymon, former transportation reporter for the Los Angeles Times

The Terrible-20’s: The maturation of the generation left behind
You can call them “slackers” or “losers.” The media has coined more politically correct terms like “failure to launch” or “boomerang kids.” Whatever you choose to call them is irrelevant - they don’t care. They have a Facebook status to update. Raised as the generation with the most access to information, entertainment, and technology, many thought the 20-somethings would be an active and ambitious bunch. But it turns out that this generation might be the one of the slowest developing ever. Many psychologists have opinions as to why this phenomenon is occurring now - the scary economic state could look debilitating for college students drowning in loans with few job prospects. Others point the finger to the parents, saying that parents aren’t as involved with their kids as they used to be, maybe because they have to work multiple jobs. So what does this generation think of all the attention being paid to its underdevelopment? Nothing… they’re still amazed at the new iPhone app and 3-D Nintendo DS.
