esterday, I got so busy writing about stuff happening over among cultural conservatives in the GOP, I forgot to celebrate Joe Riley’s entirely predictable, but still noteworthy, re-election to a ninth term as Charleston’s mayor.

As our own immediate metropolitan area writhes in confusion and lack of accountability, at least we can look down the road and know that dynamic, courageous leadership still exists somewhere in our world — and, even more amazingly, is sometimes appreciated!

Way to go, Joe! We’re proud of you, and envious of Charleston.
