It’s no surprise the despicable Andrew Cuomo is attempting a comeback. He isn’t qualified for anything other than politics.

Colorado judges are doing their best to keep Trump off the ballot in their state, another example of elites’ contempt for voters.

Headline from nypost.com: “Hallelujah! Congress is barely passing ANY new laws — and that’s a good thing.” I wholeheartedly agree. It has already done enough damage.

RIP Super Bowl champion Ed Budde, 83. Born in Detroit, he was an All-American OG at Michigan St.. He was taken in the first round of the 1963 AFL draft, the eighth pick, by the Chiefs before the leagues merged. He played his entire 14-year career in Kansas City. He was named to the AFL All-Time Team. He was a five-time All-Star, two-time First-team All-AFL, two-time Second-team, two-time Pro Bowl selection. He’s a member of the Kansas City Chiefs Hall of Fame. He was a father of three. Budde and his son Brad, All-American at USC, are the only father-son duo to be drafted in the first round, by the same team, at the same position. Well done, Sir. Photo from Google Images:

Not much action at the floating book shop on this brisk beautiful day. My thanks to the bickering elderly couple who bought six books in Russian, and to the middle-aged woman who purchased The Virgin Suicides by Jeffrey Eugenides… I learn a little about many people who stop to schmooze — who’s been in prison, who’s fighting illness, etc. Today a retired salesman was recounting his experiences as president of his co-op board. A disgruntled tenant in arrears threatened him with either a knife or a piece of wood, I forget which. Steve pulled a gun and said: “It’s not like you’ll be the first person I ever killed.” I wonder if he’ll ever reveal that story. He used to carry large sums of customers’ money.
