The man had no more business trying to be a real man in the Marines than he had any business or credentials to be a mayor.

Pure and simple, Greg Ballard is a psychological back of problems ripe for the harvest by nefarious attorneys who bought him off and used him completely.  I am willing to bet this guy is one of those kids on a tryke who could easily be lured to do anything for a lollipop and a ride in a big car.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If goofy Greg thinks Bob Grand and David Brooks and Tom John and Kyle Walker (a stooge if there ever was one) will keep hizzoner rolling in world tours, country club memberships, and quasi-elite parties, our obese mayor on the way out should think again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They won&amp;#39;t even remember his name in a few short months.
