This afternoon the kids and I went to a local production of "You're A Good Man Charlie Brown" - it was the first production by a newly formed youth community theater group. The high school students (and recent graduates) who formed the cast were outstanding and it was a lot of fun.
Looking at the program I noticed that our mayor seemed to have a part in the show. He was playing the mayor. Appropriate.
And sure enough during part of the play Sally is upset that her project got a C so she's going to complain to the mayor. Out on stage walks our mayor. Sally lodges her complaint. And the mayor answers: "Whaa waah wah Whaa" (like any good grown-up in a Charlie Brown show). Everyone burst out laughing.
I don't think I've ever heard a politician make more sense.

我能理解的政治演讲
今天下午，我和我的孩子去当地的一个名叫“查理布朗好人”组织，这是第一个最近由年轻人组成的戏剧社团。演员阵容是由高等院校的学生（和刚毕业的）组成的，这是无偿并且充满乐趣的组织。
在看这个节目时我注意到我们的市长也在剧中扮演了一定的角色。他合适的扮演了一个市长。
果然，在扮演的过程中，萨利由于她的设计项目得了一个C而变的焦躁，所以她打算去和市长控诉。舞台上市长出现了。萨利诉说了一下她的抱怨。接着引起市长大笑。（就像任何一部查理布朗剧一样没有成长）每个人都忍不住大笑。
我认为我从来没有听过一个政治家是如此的。
