The mayor may very well be innocent. But, why is it that most people elected to high positions (mayor, gov, senator, etc.) become filthy rich, far beyond what the office position pays? The money can’t all be honest and innocent!

Re the name “Shrimp Boy” Chow. His parents got it off a used Chinese restaurant menu.

It originally was Shrimp Chow Men, but since he was a baby they changed it to Shrimp Boy Chow”.

I know this is bad but what do you want at 2:00 AM? A free egg roll?
