John Barrett, "Today's Worst Person in the World."

I wonder if John Barrett ever met Adolf Hilter; they share so much in common!

"The rest is from the little people."

Did the Mayor really say that..... I guess that about says it all when it comes to his arrogance and worldview. Still power hungry and "special" after all these years. Little people unite!! Vote this bum out, please!!!!!

In the article they said Barrett had spent all this money on campigns,why? Other than Paul Babeu,who else has even been a challenge for him? How could he be spending thousands of dollars on campaigns where he didn't have an oppnent? Something smells 'fishy' here. He didn't his 'Campaign' money mixed up with his 'Keno' money did he?

Daily Horoscope for December 28

Scorpio

The thought of the sales is almost too good to resist today, and you'll jump at the chance to see what's on offer. Even better if you can snap up some bargains at the same time. It's certainly a good day for investing your money carefully, but make sure you aren't more seduced by the reduction in the cost of something than in the item itself. Are you certain that you want to buy it?
