Welcome to the Party, Pal

I like Mark and he’s certainly on our side, and correct about his concern. But this is way late to come to the table with the concern compared to the warnings David Codrea and I have both laid out for years now. [More]

By saying he hasn’t taken a position, he’s hedging his bets and protecting himself from being lumped in with us “xenophobes” and “haters.

We’re the Only Ones Elite Enough

No, it’s not a toy gun! Your elite 104 Precinct Public Safety Officers confiscated this illegal Orbeez air rifle, capable of causing serious injury akin to a BB gun. [More]

So neither of those two “elite” meatheads has the presence of mind to be embarrassed?
