I like the way it takes two sombre faced newscasters to point at her and say "Look it's spinning".

Trivia note: I live about 10 miles away from that mountain.
It's original long standing name was Squaw Peak and everyone in Phoenix knew it by that name.
During the Iraq conflicts, a female US soldier, Lori Piestewa was killed.
Since she was the first female soldier to be killed and was from Arizona, our state governor (who just happened to be a woman) decided to rename the peak in her honour.
It was very controversial and there have been many calls for the mountain to be renamed back to its original name.
