FR only got $20? Or was enough settlement cash given that the quarterly fundraisers can be moved to Semi-annually?

Good riddance is right. It is great to see someone actually held accountable for jumping to conclusions. She was being spoonfed the information by a disgruntled ex-Freep who was savvy enough to know what kind of person would want to use the info against FR, and fortunately that dirty trick backfired.

Yes, now call me a hate group, so I may call my lawyer, and have a down payment by noon. Hurry up, dammit.

OK, you are a hate group. Now are you happy?

You may be a hate group of one but FR is not.

You can sue me now.

"It's cheaper to pay these guys $20 and get rid of them than waste an attorney's time on them," Castillo said.

Oh really? Hmmm. Not a real smart thing to say.

Yeah, I noticed he didn't seem to be saying "She's an idiot and needed to be fired. More like "Yeah, yeah we paid 'em a pittance to go away. We on the city council still feel they are a hate group."


I say Þ pftttttt to them!

She didn't win anything. Members of this committee are appointed by a council member. Her sister is Sarah Reyes a big wig in democrat circles.

No. It means that -- if we wanted -- we still have time to convince them we are a hate group -- if we were a hate group -- which, of course, we know we are not.
