(CNN)– On a recent journey to Mexico City as part of a delegation of Mexican-American and American Jewish leaders, I heard a joke that is circulating among the intelligentsia:. “Mexicans are observing daylight savings time in a major way. On December 1, they’ll turn the clocks back 100 years.”. In fact, it’s almost a century. The reference seems to be to 1929, when the International Revolutionary Party (or an earlier variation of it) began what would be a 71-year hold on the presidency. In the 20th century, PRI came to be notorious for the brutality, corruption, election rigging, and brazen thievery of its leaders and their cronies. Ruben Navarrette Jr
