Mayor Bob is an op-ed machine
Recently, in a post headlined, "Now I know how Dr. Frankenstein felt," I mentioned that Bob Coble has enthusiastically embraced the new Saturday Opinion Extra venue. And as you probably noticed, we had a piece from Mayor Bob that Saturday.
We had another one from him this past Saturday. And today, I get this message from Cindi:
I see from Mike that Mayor Bob has already submitted TWO op-eds, and it's barely Monday...
Yikes.
Just pronounce it right: It's FRAHNK-en-steen.

Wow. Pretty soon The State will read like a weekly.

You need a link to a comments area / site where people can respond to Mayor Bob’s and other Saturday columns, especially one like Dr. Demarco’s. The comments could be moderated by the weekend staff.
Also at each of the Saturday columns you need a link back to the “Saturday Opinion” main page.
Oh, and the real pronunciation is "Frank-en-schtine", but you already know that.

Oh, so that's what he does all day. I've been wondering.

ACTUALLY, I THOUGHT it was "-schtine," but I listened carefully to the video -- which is linked above, and I do recommend it, because it's a wonderful scene -- and Wilder distinctly says "-steen."

Maybe Mayor Bob should spend less time playing journalist and more time playing Mayor of a sinking city.
