The least the guy could do is spell Wahlberg's name correctly.
Only those polls that don't reinforce your opinion in the results of said poll. If it reinforces your view, they are accurate and righteous.

I hate push polling, but that is usually conducted by the candidates themselves.....or their PAC.

Buddy of mine from New York was in over Mardi Gras and made this. Never had it before, but it is very good .

Busters is good in a simple way.

Have not been to DiCristina's in a while, but they are very good.

Forget the politics about Del Porto. The food is worth it
Are we talking, having seen play or just the oldest that can be recalled. Oldest that I can recall that is still living is Sandy's Koufax.
People who don't have vices are boring. We need witty drunks now more than ever. The world could use a Churchill.

Tune in next week for more vacuous and ridiculous allusion .
The initial seige of Constantinople in the 700's really was the beginning of seeing Islam as a hyper aggressive ideology.
Congress is ate up with keeping their jobs first and foremost. Legislating would cut into valuable fundraising time.....and they need money in their SuperPacs.
They said he was using the wrong law to justify his actions.

Find a more appropriate law.
No doubt, bad policies are to blame, but these policies go back 40 years and cover multiple administrations both Republican and Democrat. From George Deukmejian and Pete Wilson through Gray Davis, Schwarzenegger, Brown and now into Newsom. The real problem comes in the State Assembly. The power in the Assembly is dominated by people from the Bay area who are the real tree huggers.

Northern California Democrats make LA area Democrats look almost like Republicans.

Also, the cost of materials used to rebuild to the new fire codes is getting ridiculous. Couple that with the problems on insurance payouts and usual bureaucratic b.s. and it's no wonder. Cali Codes have to take into consideration both fire and earthquake considerations with insurance as well.....along with the stupid law that the assembly won't do away with. Newsom or a Republican could support repeal and the Assembly would just not vote on it and there are enough that if it went a statewide initiative it would fail because part of the problem is that you would have to also repeal Prop 13. Chicken and egg , indeed .
Average permit time is actually 2 months.
The problems are not necessarily on Newsom on all of this. The homeowner insurance market out there is broken. The homeowners in PP and Altadena are underinsured and there was a large enough pool of uninsured homeowners as well. Permits issued for the fire zones are coming in less than 100 days which for California is very fast when you consider the average time for permits for builds or new construction usually take anywhere from 8 to 24 months.

A lot of the problems have their Genesis back in the late 80s and Prop 13.
People were saying the same thing in 1989 and 1990 and in 1991 the joke was that Democrat candidates were " targets" . In 1992 you got Bill Clinton.
Don't do that to other teams. You may want to do actual meaningful trades in the future.
There was an idea some time back to demolish the place and replace it with a new City Hall complex. Problem is, no one has any real idea what to do with even a renovated Auditorium. Parades now go to Convention Center Blvd. Saenger gets smaller shows. Mid South Wrestling is long gone. Minor League hockey really never caught on.

It's really something of a White Elephant.
You think that there will still be voting once the ETs are out in the open? The Grays will never allow it.
You're not gonna like being ruled by the Grays......they make Reptilians look soft.

Anyone remember the Brinks heist in the 80's? NOPD doing work on that one.
