I made him mashed potatos with pepper when we first started dating and he asked "is this spicy?"

No.

"Oh no it *is* spicy!"

"How. The pepper? The pepper? That's not even ... that doesn't even COUNT."

I will be devastated if Cuomo wins. To me that would say that Democrats can't meet the moment we face or be relevant.

Please do not rank him in your choices at all. He's a sex pest, corrupt, cynical, and has no sense of urgency or respect for the real dangers we're facing […]

A graphic showing expressive and slightly goofy cartoons of various kinds of ants in a leaf cutter nest, the Major has big muscles, the media, who carry leaves are a bit less buff, the minors and minim are doing tasks with tools ... then there is "perturbation" which is an injection and now the Major is doing the tasks of the other ants.

I've written a bit before about the expensive purse and car scene that orbits the 'luxury' shops on Madison and 5th Ave. in NYC.

These are mostly young people 15-25 from NJ, The Bronx, Deepest Brooklyn, SI and Queens. They are mostly non-white.
