Fresno's Folly

Quick shout-out to my hometown on how the mayor's race is shaping up.

Ashley Swearengin would make a phenomenal Mayor, but unfortunately the Good Ol' Boys Club back home would be more likely to collectively jump off a bridge rather than allow an intelligent, articulate, competent, authoritative, attractive woman under 40 to be elected Mayor. At least that's my prediction after dealing with the mind-blowing backwardness that pervades most local politics there for the last year. I hope I'm wrong, for Fresno's sake.

It's too bad, too. She might actually change things for the better.
