A GREAT commentary from a genius - in today's Sun News Letters to the Editor: VOTERS MIGHT RESPOND TO BIKERS' ABSENCE Well, the Harley rally is behind us. It's May 23 and the Atlantic Beach Bikefest is in full swing. Mayor John Rhodes is in hiding because his constituents are ready to openly lynch him for alienating 400,000 people from Myrtle Beach last week, along with their much-needed tourist dollars. Most of the Myrtle Beach police force is up on U.S. 501 checking registrations and insurance cards on mostly four-wheel vehicles while sport bikers go about their usual ways. The "end the Mayhem" folks are joyful that last week they could get to the golf course and country club in half the time that it usually takes and their sleeping habits were intact. Probably not today. The mayor and his "spin doctors" managed to put forth that it was the bikers' fault for not supporting city business. I guess the only question is, why? Why were the bikers alienated? Why are police conducting roadblocks in the middle of the afternoon? Why were these overzealous new laws put into place? Why did Rhodes lie about working with the biker community to resolve problems? Perhaps the answers will come in November. Doug Madaga Conway www.thesunnews.com/opinion/story/935628.html

Hey we got to get a hold of this person! Range and this gettleman would make a great team to help combat the city. What does everybody think about that? As flattered as I am with this suggestion, I will instead send (to team with the genius letter writer) my "business associate" - better known as the "ZPG/UCD" (Ziti Protection Guy/Ultimate Critter Gitter) - seen here, AS USUAL, cozying up to someone else's wife:As much as the Myrtle Beach elected city officials fear ME as potentially taking away their seat in upcoming elections - they just plain FEAR this giant of a guy!

Good job, Doug. It only took the Scum News about 6 weeks to print it.
