1. For a brand new city hall to fall from the sky!
2. And land on Jon Ralston.
3. For the hand of the Lord to reach down from heaven above and, in a holy thunderclap, redraw the municipal boundaries so that the Strip falls within his jurisdiction.
4. To crush his enemies, see them driven before him and to hear the lamentations of their women.
5. X-ray vision, baby!
