If you read the August issue of the CCA schedule carefully, I mean so carefully that you even read the ad copy (does that make me sick?), then you will have noticed that the UBS blurb features not one but two instances of the generic nightmare [this city] while attempting to prove its allegiance to the Santa Fe community. So much for civic pride.

More generally, what does it mean when we have commercial radio stations calling themselves "your community radio station," and who wins if more than one claims the title?

Maybe we could have a community slam, and let all these guys slug it out in a mud-wrestling pit on the plaza. Mayor Coss could do the Andy Kaufman part, maybe challenge certain femme councilors to have it out at last.

Then the community radio stations could also broadcast play-by-play live, and the community mortgage brokers and wealth managers could sponsor the event, while offering their CEOs as "champions" in the classic mode, to prove their mgiht and... civic pride..
