A sign that the times, they are a changing.
Edited on Sat Mar-25-06 01:36 PM by wicasa
Earlier this morning I went to breakfast at a local greasy spoon restaurant. It was crowded, and I found myself sitting at a table with our town's (Republican) mayor.

He was talking about City/Tribal relations, which are in continual flux, because despite some uneasiness and disagreements both the town and the Tribe largely know that there are many points of mutual interest where everyone will come out better if they can cooperate--but at the same time there is significant mutual mistrust, . . .

At one point he began to criticize the tribal government, and I said, that while I could also criticize the tribal government, that I believed that in comparison with the federal government these days the tribal government was setting a very good example.

HE AGREED!

He also stated that, "Oh, you won't find very many people around here who think much of Bush anymore." (obviously including himself as one that no longer thought much of Bush)

It's good to see that your mayor feels negative towards the President, whose recent "good week" really didn't help his polls at all. Our lame duck is becoming more lame and quacking more everyday!
