Rocky's War
Rocky is going to protest the President. Yawn.
I'm sorry for even noticing. But I think it does illustrate why Rocky is such an ineffective mayor. He seems to be bored by the mundane idea of actually accomplishing anything. Rather, he is consumed by looking like he is fighting great battles.
Of course, if he cared about raising concerns with the President, he'd meet with him and raise his concerns. Mayors of great cities do it all the time. But, Rocky is not interested in raising concerns with the President. People wouldn't see it. And he needs the audience.
So, in order for people to see him raise great concerns, and in order for people to hear him speak truth to power, he contents himself with shouting his gibberish into the breeze, instead of actually sitting down with the President in a civil fashion. Odd.
But, enough of that. On the bright side, I note that Mayor Anderson's style has effected change. Good businesses continue to move from Salt Lake City to St. George, helping create one of the most vibrant communities in the country, and Sandy might be getting major league soccer.
Maybe after Rocky saves the whales, he'll get after some municipal issues.

It is clear that Mayor Anderson sees himself as a large frog in a pond that is isolated by dry land animals who do not appreciate his insights as he tells them how they should change their lives and values. His constituency is more in the blue states than it is in America. He is undoubtedly angling to be appointed to head some prestigious Non-Governmental Organization where he can continue to play on the national stage with the big issues. Ironically, it is his status as a political anomaly that gives him a platform for his grand gestures and a pulpit for his anti-sermons to the religious. If he moved to Washington, New York or San Francisco, he would merge seamlessly into the sea of blue and lose all opportunity for the confrontation that lets him shine in the liberal media.
"His constituency is more in the blue states than it is in America." Excuse me? I didn't know America had broken up.
Sadly, Theorris, the wookies are always the last to know.
Well said Steve; you nailed it.
Thanks, Jordan. Now get back to studying for the bar. Remember, when in doubt, pick "C".
Old Ross has always been, and will always be a thorn in the side of anything decent. A good friend of mine once said "you cant blame a snake for being a snake they just are what they are"....
