15 years of PR and crisis comms. I’ve never shit talked a former client. But I’ll make an exception for Meruelo and his clown car of toadies.
The

Lots of chatter (still) about the non-debate between

Update re:
@ArizonaCoyotes
and their “theme park district” plan.
State law says property (like an arena) built in such a district would be “exempt from sales and property taxes.”
Why the hell would a city or county give such an incredible gift to Meruelo and his pal…

Years ago, when my former employer first got Caller ID, an angry caller screamed at me: "Go back to Jew York." He hung up on me. I called him back. "Hey, we got disconnected." His ensuing freak out made my year.
Never let the haters and racists get under your skin.

What I loved about
@SenJohnMcCain
was how real he was. He made mistakes. He said things he later regretted. He led with his heart - and he never backed down. Whenever we spoke, I felt like I was talking to a human being first and a politician second.

Why does stuff like this never go viral? Only the negative.
2 officers responded to a local

He figured it would be easier to push the cart 1/2 a mile to her residence while she was driven home by his partner.
