And we have term limits again, like it never happened, and no one questions it. Bill de Blasio does not have a small ego and does not lack in self-esteem, but I don’t see him pushing for a similar exemption. I’m sure Corey Johnson wouldn’t give it to him because he will be 2021's Chris Quinn. To be honest I don’t…

This is not good news for anybody other than the corporate interests it is intended to mollify, but it is ridiculously predictable news. Did anybody genuinely think a Republican president, let alone this Republican president, was really going to implement the ban of an extraordinarily profitable consumer product…

And by seeking and accepting that third term he arguably cost Chris Quinn her own election to succeed him. She was ahead in the polls because she was a popular City Council Speaker, but then people started harping on her instrumentality in getting Bloomberg that term limits exemption. And then de Blasio ran the “walkin…

Every boy between the ages of 10 and 18+ had that poster in their room.

But did you have a Farrah Fawcett head? I did. Got it for my 7th birthday. 

This one time I took a profitable sports blog, told it to completely change its already successful column subject writing strategy and managed to fire the editor in charge leading to all the writers quitting in solidarity, leaving it as a shell, and then banning all comments because I was afraid of criticism. What a…

This comment was the one that I want.

Narcissists are great. I invited several to check out my new reflection pond in my backyard, boom: instant flower garden.

Damn those pants are super tight , there is no way I would fit into them unless…
I better shape up.

Franken was accused of groping and kissing a number of women against their will. If you’re going to defend him, at least engage with the actual accusations.

This won best of show at the Popcorn Frights Film Festival out of 24 films. It was definitely the fan favorite; everybody was talking about it all week.

Jean hugging Guyger doesn’t bother me. If that’s what he needs—regardless of whether “that” is extending genuine forgiveness or performative pandering—in order to heal, then let him have it.

After I read yesterday that she could use the Castle Doctrine to somehow justify killing him, I assumed this trial was going to end in the usual way: No consequences for the killer, followed by her suing to get her job back plus lost wages. Justice was actually served for once. I hope this becomes the norm.

I’m really reconsidering the unpleasant thoughts I sent the Judge yesterday when she included in the jury instructions basically the Stand Your Ground Law.

In 1979 we didn’t wear those cargo things that brush the top of your knee. I’ll bet she got a good look at those legs.

Franken basically admitted this is his longstanding M.O. when the state fair story came out — “goosing” a woman right before the picture is taken is his version of “say cheese.” He thinks he’s helping her loosen up and take a better picture. He’s displayed zero awareness of just how awful the practice is. I’m sure…

Gillibrand hasn’t been a moderate in several years though. She was originally elected as one, but in 2018, she had the most progressive record in the Senate (yes, very slightly ahead of Sanders). In the last five years, when you rank senators by how progressive their records are, she’s only been outside the top ten…

Sometimes I’ve wondered if, for some of them, it’s less about Franken than it is a chance to take a shot at a moderate like Gillibrand.

Aww, and the Blame Gillibrand tour was going so well!

I don't think it's because they are men in a powerful position, I think it is because they are in a powerful position because they are men.
