A sign of the times

Remarkably, there are still people who think that "Which party wins" makes no difference in people's lives.

I was crossing the Plaza at lunchtime, and saw an Office of General Services crew putting up the official State xmas tree. Because, you know, we now have a Democratic governor.

Which is a sign of the times: under the previous Republican administration, they used to use prisoners to put up the official tree.

Because, you know, nothing says "The true spirit of Christmas" like having the community's holiday decorating done by slave labor. It really warms the heart.
