Good grief. Do you have to pass some sort of test to prove what an ignorant, hate-filled “baboon” you are, before you’re allowed to post comments about the Mayor?

There are billions of us out here who are allergic to wheat. Along with lots of other grains. Sorry vegans, but your rules just don’t work for lots of people.

Manufactured food like breakfast cereals are probably not “good” for anyone. God only knows what all the products are included with the wheat. I would never give this kind of food to my family.

even my 13 year old thinks that this is really sad – to be happy to have your face on a box of cold cereal without being paid – and being pleased! “It’s kind of sad if you think about it. He works hard and looks like a dumb guy for accepting something so lame.”

If he really wanted to go big , he should have his mug printed on the doggie poop bags and encourage the proles to pick up the puppy poop in the foothills.

Why would Wheaties do this unless they are getting something out of it? It must be so they can be a bigger part of the public school’s food program. This can mean only one thing:
SOLD OUT for your picture on the cover of a box of cold cereal…. too bad it wasn’t the Cover of the Rolling Stone so we could at least sing it.

And besides, for $50 bucks you too can have your picture photo-shopped on the cover of a Wheaties box. Ma Bell used to give one to all their “achievers”.

How could Mayor Bieter accept an award sponsored by Wheaties? The hypocrisy of it all! General Mills has long been an environment polluter with their cereal factories pumping out CO2 like crazy. They encourage the abuse of the earth by farmers tilling up the native habitats to raise grains, probably with the sweat of illegal immigrants. Those grains have been genetically manipulated and just how good for you is their vitamin “enriched” cereal?

Surely, the Wheaties sponsorship of an award for feeding poverty stricken kids is just a front to cover their destructive ploys behind the scenes.

Note: This comment is completly satirical in nature and is meant to point out the line of reasoning so often used against big business, when corporations are really doing a lot of good for humanity.

Sara, I don’t believe you understand the analogy. Many people refer to the elected officials in Boise as the 800 lb. gorilla. I take exception to that. A gorilla is a majestic primate that lives as the ultimate protector of his family. He seeks no outside confrontations and is happy just “fathering” his own clan. A baboon, on the other hand, is a sneaky little primate that hunts by ambush and deception, bullies the members of his own troop, and rules by intimidation and threat. Are you starting to see the logic? The band of chimps constantly defers to the baboon out of fear and intimidation. They will follow on the outskirts of the home territory and conduct themselves as meekly as possible fearing the wrath of the baboon. Sound familiar on Tuesday nights downtown? Bieter will ALWAYS be the baboon, and as long as Jordan, Eardley, Clegg, and Shealey conduct the real business of this city at their private little “planning dinners” the monikers will stick. My evaluation is not based, in any way, on my friendship with Jim Tibbs, who I consider to be a real class act. Tibbs deserved to lose the campaign for mayor. He is way too nice of a guy, with way too many scruples, and a driving need to avoid confrontation to have been successful during the campaign. My disgust with Bieter is based on the reseasrch done during the campaign. If Bieter’s past ever comes out, he will make the whole Coles thing look like a church picnic! I guess the bottom line here is when I ask myself what I hate worse than a liar, the only answer I can come up with is…..NOTHING! Baboon and band of chimps it shall remain! Childish? Possibly. As Mr. Buffett has always said, “You may have to grow older, but they can’t force you to grow up!”

Cyclops, we get it. You despise Bieter. Tibbs was your guy. But come on – stop with calling him chimp and baboon. That is so lame, juvenile and immature.

You can mock him without the stupid names.
