The mayor (RT if you've forgotten) is described below as all show, no substance. Indeed. Never has so little done so much for so few. Perfect! Now on to governor! President!

Let's move on. --David Shove Roseville Put steel rods on RT's mayoral chair so he has to sit somewhere else - preferably far away, or else in the same dustbin as SSB.
