Well, isn’t this just a peachy development. Now we get to play Cowboys
and Indians again, and the Indians are turning over in their graves at
the thought of being further exploited by this bunch of Cowboys at City
Hall who get an extra day off. And for what reason? So they get to feel
all smug and politically correct? And waste yet more time yap, yapping
about everything and doing nothing. Too bad the Indians can’t rise up
from their graves, muster on the horizon, and fall like a hurricane on City
Hall and bring scalping back into fashion again. But where to begin? The
Mayor? The Board of Aldermen?
May the Indian Gods save us from those who would be politically correct.
What’s next, Millers River Remembrance Day?
