Notes for a Monday

• Milton Bradley did it again. The volatile Dodgers outfielder was cited for disorderly conduct after allegedly interfering with a police traffic stop near Akron, Ohio. The winter baseball meetings are next month in Anaheim; wanna bet the Dodgers float his name in trade offers.
 
• Indy journalist Bill Pearl and his LBReport.com are profiled by Jason Gewirtz in the Long Beach Press-Telegram: "Sometimes in the morning, sometimes in the afternoon, sometimes late at night, Pearl toils in his makeshift news headquarters [his apartment bedroom] posting stories about city government, Long Beach Airport, local crime weather events, or anything else on his mind."
 
• Tonight on Which Way, L.A.?, Warren Olney swings into the Los Angeles mayor's race. KCRW, 7 p.m.
 
• The City of West Hollywood is 20 years old. It was a biggish story back then; the LA Weekly takes a look with several stories.
 
• Kem Nunn, author most recently of Tijuana Straits, guests Thursday on Bookworm. KCRW, 2:30 p.m.
 
• OC Weekly calls Washington Times writer Audrey Hudson on her claim that the Nixon Library doesn't "minimize" the Watergate scandal. She might have a stronger case if she had actually been there.
 
• Some conservative political blogs apparently didn't know (or didn't care) that KCRW's resident wit Rob Long was kidding when he attributed some farcical comments to Hillary Rodham Clinton in a column for National Review.
 
• Times editors John Carroll and Michael Kinsley are on the bill at Southwestern University School of Law for a forum called "The Big Chill: Should the Public Care if Reporters Go to Jail for Protecting Confidential Sources?" Tuesday at 7 p.m., reception to follow.
