Thumbs Down

Watch in fascination as the mayor of Reno commits political suicide:

"You know, we have a beautiful highway landscaping redevelopment in our downtown. We have desert tortoises and beautiful paintings of flora and fauna. These punks come along and deface it.

"I'm saying maybe you put them on TV and cut off a thumb. That may be the right thing to do."

And who can argue with that, I ask you? Perhaps we could skip the thumb-chopping and proceed directly to the internment camps and ovens.
