For example, Philly gave us a check for $25,000 to compensate for any added expenses due to it being controlled by unions.

The reason? We are known to drop mucho dollars at our national and regional meetings. In 1988, we spent so much money in San Francisco that they were able to retire their city debt.

The NPHC frats get even deeper discounts from hotels, because of the money they spend in the hotel bars. LOL

For the record 20 years later San Francisco is hundreds of millions of dollars in debt! How do you do that in such short time?

Liberal local governments have problems keeping their spending in check.

the best thing we can do is accept that there is a stereotype and fight to improve our image in every aspect of our lifes. also remember that every little thing we do wrong is going to make the news first page and the good things we do will be on page ten of section d. its an uphill battle but i know im not the only one that thinks its worth fighting
