It also shows that the “Maestro” actor-director may see himself as a great artist, but his romantic choices are a bit cliche, in that he’s like a lot of powerful male stars who date significantly younger women.

They’re not paid to tell you the truth. They’re paid to get you to sign, by any means necessary.I’m frustrated because this is a corruption of our democracy. Gathering signatures should represent grassroots support and put a check on the powers that be. Instead, it’s being co-opted by those powers, which are paying to re-roll votes and legislation that don’t go their way. Though I am disgusted by how Gov.
