    Pretty sure I’ve told this story before, but when I started as news ed at a small-town Oregon paper, my first interview for my column was the mayor. He ran on infrastructural improvements, got them done, and didn’t run for a second term. Truly a class act.

    Shame that we’re now shocked by competence.

    I wonder what the “I’ll never vote for a socialist!!” types are doing now to resolve their cognitive dissonance.

      Their hard-earned tax money is being spent to fix potholes on streets they don’t drive on. Of course they’re upset!

      They’ll find anything to be upset about. I’m sure there’s something. If nothing else, they’ll just use his skin color or something.
