Snow Day! When the snow started just before midnight, we knew school would be cancelled. The accumulation is not great enough for the snow blower, but more than adequate for sledding. By the way, hats off to the Bridgewater/Raritan School Board for going full day in-person next week. That decision took some guts. Bravo.
How about Lin Manuel Miranda's musical number during the 1/6 ceremonies yesterday, huh? Remarkable and completely appropriate and not without precedent. No one who watched the gloomy, rainy day 9/11/02 commemoration ceremonies will ever forget the cast of Cats bringing down the house. And George M Cohan's send off at Pearl Harbor on 12/7/42 is a classic.
Liz and Dick Cheney....OMG. The Dems scrambling to get a selfie with the former Veep was...unimaginable even five years ago. Younger reader(s), the left used to think Cheney was Darth Vader and the Emperor all rolled into one. The war-profiteer's daughter is a back-stabbing mean-girl. Skank. What a pair. These two should take a daddy/daughter hunting trip.
The Dems and the media just couldn't help but overdo it. The great Stephen L. Miller compared the spectacle to the Dems turning Senator Paul Wellstone's funeral into a pep rally. And Miller rightly pointed out that a sick person scrambling to find a covid test appointment, or an employer trying to get his business staffed doesn't give a good goddamn about the 1/6 commemoration. And no one other than the Dems and the media will this November, either. By the way, Miller's podcast is totally worth the 3 quid he charges.
We weren't going to say anything about yesterday, we really weren't. But, this blog admits to being impressed by the Dem's ability to really over-do it.
Oh, and Trump won.
For people west of the Hudson, and foreigners in general, the Meadowlands is right across the river from Manhattan. It's been a while since the issue popped up, but at one point the Giants playing in New Jersey but being called the New York Giants was a sore spot for New Jerseyans*. As a kid driving to Giants Stadium from New York, we would see New Jersey Giants bumper stickers. After the Giants won Super Bowl XXI, New York City Mayor Ed Koch** refused to throw them a victory parade, saying they were New Jersey's team. Prick. The Giants and Jets are a combined 8-24 this year and both have sucked balls for a decade. Stroock's Books calls on Governor Murphy to send them to New York and blow up the Hudson River crossings so they can't come back.
What Will's Watching, Joe Millionaire: A dozen needy, dramatic, hot-to-trot sociopaths competing for the attentions of two rich men. That's caged heat, man. This is so awesome. [Really?-Ed] 4/4
*Noone gave a crap where the Jets played. And rightfully so
**Ah....Hizzoner. Mr. We could use a man like Ed Koch again.
