"Nowhere" for Roody may be somewhere for others. A lot of people with a dogmatic agenda might consider that traveling to Disneyland or Las Vegas or Vail or Myrtle Beach Golf Resorts are trips to "nowhere" destinations for anyone interested in a "useful" location.
Again, his concern over funding sources is a dang ploy to throw a stumbling block in the way of something he opposes on idealogical grounds.
