I can remember my father using that expression when I was a kid. Haven’t heard it in more than fifty years but when I watched the election results roll in last night the pleasant astonishment I felt brought that old expression back into my mind. There will be many pitfalls in constructing a new government and delving into the dark corners where the previous gang of rats have left things un-shredded but those thoughts are for another day. Right now I’m just savouring the moment and feeling a small but promising glow that the days of divisive, bitter, petty, vindictive, and manipulative government may be over…at least for a while.
And that’s what these two old guys in the coffee joint are thinking.
