My neighborhood is so ready for her to go. Jail, prison, rehab, Beverly Hills, it's all the same to us. Just get her the hell out of Venice. And take her paparazzi, Peter Thottams, news vans and Fox News helicopter with her.
She has more than one Peter Thottam?

Doesn't sound like the goal was to get people to move here so I don't know again.


More Somali than Ethiopean but even the "average" looking Somali women are stunning. And they are with these "meh" looking Somali guys.

A few years ago, someone launched a "Houston: It's Worth It" campaign that highlighted all the sucky parts of the city (sprawl, humidity, mosquitoes, etc.) to point out that despite the unattractive parts that the chamber of commerce and tourism boards try to gloss over in their material, people actually do rather like living here. Maybe something similar?

(Now, the city is running a "My Houston" campaign. Jim Parsons from the Big Bang Theory did the most recent video. My brother is in the niche "My Gay Houston" campaign. This campaign downplays the possible negatives of the city.)

Judging solely from the prevalence of Thottam campaign posters all over the westside, for every campaign cycle, even after the fucker loses his elections, I'd say yes.

Those things multiply faster than teenaged girls in Kentucky trying to get onto Mtv reality programming. Or at least that's my perception. Maybe he'll offer up his legal credentials to our girl Lindsey.

How did you and the other guy get along?

Did you both hang with the Jew, or was he fronting Lutheran?

Whether he was fronting or not depends on whether he was at Thurgreed's school or ABBA's.

There are at least two Jews on my floor.

Well, not right now, as it is 5:41 and I know for a fact that one of them went home already. The other tends to try to be gone by now, but haven't walked by him office so I can't confirm.

Wait. Why am I here? Time to get the heck out.
