Update: Riverside Wants to Waste Millions of Dollars on Cheech Marin Museum

Update:  The City Council agreed to this ridiculous project with an alleged wife beater's name on it.  Wasteful government.

Riverside City, California wants to remodel a library to display Cheech Marin's chicano artwork.  This is the same collection that toured the nation a few years back (sponsored by Target).

The plan is set to go to the full City Council on Tuesday, Jan. 19 for approval — just days before an offer to renovate the library for $13.3 million expires. The Cheech Marin Center for Chicano Art and Culture, as it will be called, is expected to open in late 2021.

It will cost $10.7 million to build and $1 million per year to operate.

Taxpayers should be pissed.  Such a waste of money.

The council must be a bunch of star f*ckers.  Do they even know the real Richard Marin?  Have they read the TMZ article about the 'alleged' incidents?

Is this a tax write-off for Cheech so he can continue buying art?

New Documentary Explores Pat Morita's Life and Career

Fifteen years after his death at the age of 73, Pat Morita — star of The Karate Kid and honorary star of the Netflix hit Cobra Kai — remains a beloved Hollywood legend. But long before Morita created one of the most indelible characters in film history with his portrayal of Mr. Miyagi, the Japanese-American comedian and actor spent decades breaking barriers on the big and small screens. 

In the new documentary More Than Miyagi: The Pat Morita Story, director Kevin Derek explores the actor's extraordinary life and varied career, from his childhood battle with spinal tuberculosis to his early days as a stand-up comedian to his later struggles with drug and alcohol addiction. The film features archival interviews with Morita as well as new conversations with his many costars, including The Karate Kid's Ralph Macchio and William Zabka, Happy Days' Marion Ross and Henry Winkler, and fellow comics Larry Miller and Tommy Chong.

More Than Miyagi premieres on iTunes, Amazon Prime Video, and other streaming platforms Feb. 5.
