Sunny, with a high of 83 and low of 52 degrees. Sunny in the morning, clear for the afternoon and evening,
two observations:
Absolutely. I would say those are conservative numbers at 1 in 40. The quickest way to become wealthy in America is to enter politics. I would say Miss McDonald is 1 in a 109. The family fun center fiasco is a true memorial to what nepotism and back room dealing will get you.

The corruption which causes reputational damage is too widespread already and is going to overflow into the public eye soon enough.
