“You have a vendetta against him don’t you!” That was the last time I allowed someone connected to Governor Andrew Cuomo’s administration to harass and manipulate me. It was during one of the many accusatory and threatening phone calls I received by his staff members that I…

I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked,

dragging themselves through the negro streets at dawn looking for an angry fix,

angelheaded hipsters burning for the ancient heavenly connection to the starry dynamo in the machinery of night,

This is not a responsibility we take lightly.

We will hire a law firm, deputize them as attorneys of our office, and oversee a rigorous and independent investigation.

In fact, what good is a revolving door if you don’t put it to use? Cash in while out of office, then after several years one way or the other get yourself back among those in government.

What he’s saying: “I never intended to offend anyone or cause any harm. I spend most of my life at work and colleagues are often also personal friends,” Cuomo said in a statement on Sunday evening.

I might pull a Biden, so patience, please. 🙂

And possibly adding his Adonis DNA to the ticket. Charlie Sheen being seen as able to draw away many of Trump’s voters from 2016 and 2020. 🙂

I see that like me you sometimes you write Pataki when it’s Psaki. Pataki having been the Governor that replaced Mario Cuomo when the voters had grown tired of his BS, and declined to re-elect him, thus handing the Governorship to the Republicans.

President Biden would support an independent review into the allegations of sexual misconduct and believes the review should move “as quickly as possible,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Sunday on CNN.

The only way an investigation could move “as quickly as possible,” enough to truly suit the administration, and not cause…[Read more]

That had lots of new news for me.

“This is no joke,” Rep. Kathleen Rice (D-N.Y.) tweeted above the Times story. “There must be an independent investigation into these allegations. The accused CANNOT appoint the investigator. PERIOD.”

She gets it, and that dovetails with that quote from Cuomo that I highlighted in a post…[Read more]
