An approval rating is a percentage determined by a polling which indicates the percentage of respondents to an opinion poll who approve of a particular person or program.
In October 1968, Cass Elliot made her live solo debut headlining in Las Vegas at Caesars Palace, scheduled for a three-week engagement at $40,000 per week, with two shows per night. Elliot went on a six-month long crash diet before the show, losing 100 of her 300 pounds. According to Elliot, the weight loss led to a stomach ulcer and throat problems, which she treated by drinking milk and cream (and regaining 50 pounds in the process).
Reviews were harsh. Esquire magazine called the show "a disaster" that was "heroic in proportion, epic in scope." The Los Angeles Free Press called the show "an embarrassing drag." Newsweek compared the show to the Titanic disaster.
Critics were harsh, but in the end, it was Mama Cass Elliot who won the battle. In the Behind the Music documentary on the The Mamas and the Papas, a poll was taken from male adults. The survey was based on "how comfortable a male would be in having a sandwich and a beer with a certain celebrity." Cass' approval rating amongst men was 89%.
An oft-repeated urban legend claims that Elliot choked to death on a ham sandwich. The post-mortem examination found that Elliot had died of a heart attack, and no food was found in her windpipe, yet the false story has persisted for decades.
Heidi Klum is a German model, television host, businesswoman, fashion designer, television producer, and occasional actress. The super model is not in the same class with Mama Cass Elliot.
In the same documentary from The Mamas and the Papas, it was revealed that Heidi Klum barely received a favorable evaluation. Her approval rating was only 54%. This was due to the fact that males could not relate to her, and would be disinterested in what she had to say.
The man in the middle with the black hat is Jack Hutchinson from Deerfield, NH. He is the architect for all the planning of the town's 250th anniversary celebration. He is the driving force in raising over $80,000.00 so the small non industrial town of 4,200 people can commemorate the community's historic birth.
The following events will take place over the upcoming weekend due to the work of the retired schoolteacher: Ham & Bean Supper, Variety Show, Cornhole Tournament, Encampments from the Revolutionary War, French and Indian War, Civil War, Excavator Rodeo, Antique Car Parade, Marching Bands, Old Timers' Baseball Game and Fireworks. If it rains, he has a Plan B. Jack's approval rating is just a shade behind Mama Cass.
Severino Trucking Co., Inc. is an excavation contractor with over 40 years of experience in road construction and site development. Working in southern New Hampshire, northeastern Massachusetts and southern Maine, our scope of work includes commercial site development, private subdivision roads, municipal road construction and NH DOT federally funded road construction.
Severino Trucking of Candia, NH just received the largest state contract for roadwork in Rochester, NH of $64 million. The Severino brothers, Ron and Tom are more than just Good Scouts. They are exceptional businessmen who value loyalty and trust in their employees. Having interviewed many Severino workers who will participate in the Deerfield 250th Excavator Rodeo, one can clearly see that they all thoroughly enjoy their work and their company.
If I could set the approval rating for Severino Trucking, it might reach three digits. As a matter of fact, if I could come out of retirement, I would choose this company over Heidi Klum, anyday.
