Blessing of Dean

I thought my hometown of Nashville, Tennessee had a lousy mayor in Karl Dean. He suddenly does not look quite as bad, if only in comparison to the buffoon afflicting Toronto. Dean still can not keep his hands off taxpayer wallets, spending on grandiose and unneeded projects, but at least his hand is not on a crack pipe. Then again, I may have just offered "faint praise indeed" for Music City's self-identifying "progressive" leader.
