Burgermeister, Meisterburger


We watched the old claymation holiday show "Santa Claus is Comin' to Town" a few times this past week. There is a scene toward the end of the show when the Bugermeister's portrait falls off the wall. The narrator, Fred Astaire explains the Burgermeister fell out of power and soon people forgot him and his laws.

The headline in today's paper read: 'Don't ask, don't tell' policy to end. Reading the article, especially statements of those opposed to repealing the law, I thought about the scene when Burgermeister's portrait fell from the wall. "The Burgermeister, (Don't ask, don't tell) fell out of power and soon people forgot him and his laws."
