Mr. Robinson’s Neighborhood
I’m telling you, Gritty is a Leftist/Anarchist Icon! (Really, really HBO? Cersei stands at the balcony and does nothing at all, even blink? This is the lamest last stand since Teutoburger Wald!)

Whatever shall I do for content when the Season ends next week? Press The Meat Yanks Are Weenies Steep, but only for 3 – 5 minutes. Green Tea on the other hand you can brew all day long and it never gets bitter. Milk not necessary (yuck anyway). More About Tea Millenials Gone Bad That’s …

Paperboy
Or perhaps I should call it News Delivery Specialist to pair with my Newsstand Delivery Manager cred which was a real job where I was in charge of 50 or so Retail locations on a weekly basis (I had other responsibilities too, I was full time). I have awards from the Columbia School of Journalism …

You should be creeped out and afraid, very very afraid, of a Government Old Age pension (Social Security) and subsidized Medical care (Medicare/Medicaid) without which you’d have deal with Mumsey and Pop Pop rattling around at a cost of Thousands, perhaps Hundreds of them, unless you push ’em out …

Some Democratic Socialism
Occasionally I feel you think I have only the single Nobel Prize winning economist up my sleeve. Pfui. He ain’t even the Liberal one. A ‘democratic socialist’ agenda is appealing.

The Tale Of The Tape
By insinuation and timing it’s likely that the limited Tax Transcripts the New York Times released are filings related to his Casino ownership mandatory financial disclosure.

Pelosi’s Failure
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice… Won’t get fooled again. Like Atrios I frequently remind people that Unindicted Co-conspirator Bottomless Pinocchio is not the worst ever.
