I was at a friends barbeques last night. Most guests were worker buddies of the host, a contractor. I had never met. They were carpenters, plummers, roofers, etc...very blue collar.
Everyone of them blamed the local and state government. One fellow was in a rant about what do people think the government can do, make helicopters appear at the snap of a finger?
There was some really funny comments on Nagin and his radio interview. The line of the night was "taking the edge off my joneses".
To my amazement, people are getting it.
Good news.
