"Voting for the Mayor Who Promised to Blow Up the City Doesn't Mean I Approve of the Mayor Blowing Up the City"

"So, no, I'm not 'happy now' that our zoo has been turned into an open-air animal mausoleum. But of the options I had, only one mayor promised to completely change the city. And you know what? At least he is doing something. It may kill a lot of people. It may leave others without homes or jobs. But I respect a man of action, regardless of what that action is and whether or not it's going to make things better or worse."

So writes Mike Drucker at McSweeney's.
