| As Daniel Lenz observed, not a single smile on an Ahumada supporter. . . . . |
It brought a smile to my face the other day reading a quote from former Mayor Pat Ahumada condemning "wokeness."
I know "70 is the new 50," but reading a Pat Ahumada quote recently blasting "wokeness" evoked the image of an old geezer with his ball cap on backwards.
It's not that Pat shouldn't be allowed to mouth the new Republican talking points, but originality beats regurgitation, like when he called city commissiors "blocking lineman" and referred to himself as the "quarterback."
That was a line worth repeating.
Anyway, if "wokeness" means being alert to and concerned about social injustice and discrimination what's wrong with that?
Is it better to be alert, awake, aware, cognizant than to be asleep, ignorant, blind and uninformed?
In reality, "wokeness" is anything a politico doesn't like.
It's a catchall.
It's a cliche.
Or, if you want to use one cliche to define another, it's a nothingburger.
Pat is a good man who like Caty, Susan, and too many Republicans in Brown Town have chosen to go to the dark side. Know this , your cult leader lost . Your only hope is Mitt Romney.
