This lady will blow your ass away if need be, and we all should be thankful for this law. Please know this: It's too large for a fashion handbag, unlike anything you're packin'.

I'm sorry 100 officers can't be on stand by for you to feel safe. So I guess keep that pistol on your ankle for something that is probably not going to happen?

It is completely accurate that the success is not due to the city. Why would you suggest otherwise. Yes the city leadership does a poor job. Virgi does well as does priezter... however we as a city have a major problem with leadership. I know cgocjwe well and I also went to St Joe school with him. Leadership is absolute garbage. Count Ashby Foote as equal if not worse than stokes. No one is as bad as ole boy on the council from South Jackson. That guy is horrible.

Lots of talk from Mayor Gum Flap but he goes out of his way, doesn't he, to not mention what the actual revenue number was. It isn't what he's talking about, it's the information he's not sharing. That is what scam artist do. Selectively share information.<br /><br />My guess is whatever net gains generated at Thalia Mara were more than offset by the losses at the zoo Lumumba just closed.
