The question is: How did I get that e-mail from Steve Leahy to Bill Virgin?
Well, Leahy was courteous enough to cc me on it—because he mentions me.

He wrote: “So, between you and Joel [Connelly] who want to carp about the lack of leadership in the region, and Josh Feit at The Stranger who thinks we run this place, you can see my dilemma.”

To which I say: Don’t flatter yourself, dude. Virgin’s right. You guys are pretty unimpressive.

Hell, as dead set against the monorail as you all were, we almost got it past you until the clowns running it fucked it up.
