Montage of Rick McGuire subway art, photo from nypost.com:

Headline from NYP: “Holocaust survivor rips Harris for boosting Trump-Hitler comparisons, says ex-prez is ‘a mensch’.” Mazel, Sir.

Never a dull moment worldwide. From NYP: “Holy war Brawl erupts between pro-Putin priests and clerics supporting Kyiv over control of Ukraine cathedral.” Bless me, Father, for I have — pow!

From NYP out of Holland: “Slimy, orange ‘alien egg pods’ discovered in river — and they’re ‘spreading rapidly’.” According to the article by David Landsel, they’re not harmful, but they are creepy. It’s reminiscent of Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956). Photo from NYP:

From NYP: “Mercedes-Benz to ramp up cost-cutting after profit drops by 50%.” That seems a bad sign for the world economy. And how ‘bout this from newsmax.com? “Vatican Cuts Monthly Pay for Cardinals in Rome.” Maybe they should unionize.

A Wisconsin woman was forced to remove this Halloween display from her lawn, threatened with a $122 a day fine. Apparently, the local leaders have no sense of bipartisan humor. Photo from NYP:

Covid policy continues to rack up expenses, NM headline out of Frisco: “BART Workers Fired for Refusing COVID Vaccine Get $7.8M Payout.”

I’m not familiar with her work, but I find this foxnews.com headline very amusing: “Lily Allen says she earns more money selling foot photos than streams of her music.” Photo from Google Images:

One of the most interesting aspects of the election is the endorsements or lack thereof from typical quarters, i.e. unions and newspapers. Some have actually jumped sides. Man, it’s fascinating, but I’ll be glad when it’s over and we’ll know whether or not socialism rules America.

Breezy and beautiful today at the Anti-Inflation Book Shop. My thanks to The Quiet Man, who bought the entire series of Lost on DVD, and to the gentleman who purchased travel guides on Barcelona and Milan, and Ken Follett’s massive The Armor of Light, part five of Kingsbridge series.
