Bae and I visited our share of mosh pits in those years. Now when our human resources find an MP3 player we need to make sure that their heads aren't about to pop.

The nose was the election riots then the baseball shooting. They're escalating while punishing every act of reactionary activity as part of a vast conspiracy.

We didn't fall for it at the beginning of your term, we aren't going to fall for it now.

>Gonzalez concluded that because the unit violated city codes, Jovanovic had to withdraw his eviction notices until he could prove that the unit was in compliance.

RULE 4: “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.” If the rule is that every letter gets a reply, send 30,000 letters.
