Again, Dave Checketts — the taxpayers' Freddy Krueger — comes to life, implacably trying to get his hand into our purses. This time his resurrection is thanks to Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr. and the ubiquitous Mayor Rocky Anderson. If Checketts has so many buyers for Real, why does he keep pestering us?

How many stadiums have been built specifically to house soccer teams in the country? Why is professional soccer not televised if it's so popular? Why have these questions not been asked? Why is Salt Lake County Mayor Peter Corroon the only one with half a brain and the olfactory sense to smell something fishy?
