We're Watching You In 2007
|
| Here is the cover from the latest Chico News and Review issue. The cover photo references a "Who To Watch in '07" story, and some of the celebs are in the vehicle. I don't have a high resolution image for this blog, so you'll have to review the print version. The image presents a number of strange and mysterious questions. 1. Why aren't they riding bikes? The Ford Mustang is widely known as a pollutant producing vehicle. I can hardly breath knowing that they were tooling around town pumping cubic-yard after cubic-yard out of their earth destroying tail pipes. That Pony Car is 8 cyclinders of global warming coming right at ya! At least drive a hybrid for Gaia's sake! Leadership by example folks...leadership by example. 2. Who is in the car? In the driver seat is Andy Holcombe, and Ann Schwab is in the passenger seat. But Ann wasn't listed in the "who to watch on '07" story the photo advertises. How did she get in the car? Was she hitch-hiking? And the back seat passenger(s) is not named. It looks like Maureen Kirk in the back seat but who really knows? And a face seems to be peering out from behind and left of Ann Schwab. Who are behind these "People To Watch"? What if it's somebody dangerous, like Kelly Ripa, or Bob Saget. 3. How come they didn't let a woman drive? We all know how important symbolism is. Women won many significant races in the last elections. And both of the highest vote getters in the last two Council races were women (Schwab then Flynn). I think it's time to put away the '70s macho chauvinism, and let the ladies take the wheel. Come on Andy, let Kirk take a few laps, your "Best Chico Mayor Ever" title is hanging by a thread. |
