San Diego Mayor Bob Filner’s endurance in the face of mounting sexual harassment accusations may be driven by his need to get out of an even bigger problem: a federal criminal investigation that has received little attention from the national media.

Hooters has a sign saying the mayor isn’t welcome. They don’t serve perverts. I thought their entire business plan is based on perverts.
