Here’s why you have to be a dick to be a Republican

11. You know, what bothers me about lists like this one...

I could find the equivalent one right now for dems. I read enough freepers to be write one too. Some are very much mirror images. See climate change for example. In my best freeper voice, libs believe this is needed to increase regulations and control the free market. (I think I got it)

But I find your use of the other down right hilarious when that is exactly what you are doing. And this is rather unhelpful if we are to get off the road we find ourselves in currently, and it is not a safe road, speaking of roads.

Perhaps my lens is colored by actually covering sausage making (and victory laps, later this morning). And talking with people both inside and out of government. Not only has that increased my cynicism, but these days I question quite a bit of anything I am getting. Yeah, yeah, bad habit, leading to reading a full project from my favorite utility, after my locals claimed it was what it isn't. Speaking of climate change, they are changing wood poles, pleasing to the eye, for steel poles, weatherized and quite a bit more fire resistant.

Now the utility misbehaves so often that the worst intent was understandable. But that is a textbook example of ascribing worst intent to somebody. They should underground them for very solid policy reasons, and long term savings, but that is another kettle of fish.

I think more people should make a habit of going to Council and boards.

Oh and infrastructure is at the top of the agenda at both my dem and republican dominated city councils, so you know. I am positive potholes are a priority around the nation. So it is a question, to a point, of getting that kind of urgency to the most dysfunctional congress since just before the American Civil war...see that dangerous road we are on.
