I came back online hoping to see some likes for my COLUMBO POST, not to learn about democrats sucking their own dick. I want a redo.
STRANGE BREW: just enough HAMLET. Just enough TRON.

The only good thing about today is that it pretty much guarantees Chuck Schumer’s being primaried, and hopefully sent into obscurity.

Voted last week, but love that Zohran and his wife voted at Frank Sinatra High School for the Arts in Astoria, aka my kid's school. It's gonna happen.
On this beautiful morning in Astoria, I cast my ballot for our city and our future.
I hope you will too.
