The content is probably reasonably standard and generally
uninteresting. But the content isn’t the important part. It’s the language it
was written in that’s caused this to strike the news reel. It’s in Klingon. As
in the nerdy beyond belief, made-up language of a fictional alien race from
Star Trek. Obviously, for doing something so ridiculously geeky he’s being
heralded as an awesome guy. Because logic.
He says he chose to so it this way as part of an inside
joke. The question is, an inside joke between him and who else? It’s certainly
not between him and mayor Michael Alvarez, who has dubbed the letter “unprofessional”.
Much as I’d like to make fun of his clear lack of a sense of humour, he’s
probably got a point.
