absolute lunatic. 'We will fine you a million dollars if you give that shot to the wrong person hey why are these shots just sitting around'
I just want any of the pubs that kissed his feet to revisit their own Cuomo coverage. One writer to say 'Whoops!'
We did a deep dive into these failures months ago, so if you read the Examiner mag you know what's actually happening with the virus in NY. But wouldn't it help partisans with fingers in their ears to see it in, say, The Atlantic? A full takedown of Cuomo? If not, why not?

Lmao this is like if you made Conference USA its own NFL division
The teams in this division don't even have names. 'Just get the Washington chapter out here, no one's keeping score anyway.'
*Do you want CPU to assign random names?*

*yes*

"Here comes Nathan Sudfeld."

"David Dinkins often said that 'service is the price of admission to heaven.' Well, his ticket is marked 'paid in full.'

Rest in peace, Mr. Mayor."

This is a really nice obit from the NY Post: nypost.com/2020/11/24/dav…
"He was a Democratic district leader, Manhattan county clerk, borough president, lawyer and author. But above all, Dinkins was a dignified and well-respected gentleman."
The great secret of NYC is that it's much tougher on you in life than in death. Sometimes the abuse you take is a form of in-group sentimentalism, weird as that sounds.

Glad Scott Gottlieb wrote this, which correctly makes clear that the ppl who have been treating wearing masks as a silver bullet are usually wearing a mask that provides between 10% and 30% protection (less, b/c they're not wearing/handling them correctly) wsj.com/articles/some-…
The person yelling at others about wearing a mask is very likely using it at 5% protection and then obliterating whatever is left by barking for the camera.
This is why "oh but many of those packed, screaming and singing protesters were wearing masks" was such a laughable excuse for saying you were allowed to march with de Blasio but not attend an outdoor funeral.

One of the reasons it matters that Biden has begun elevating institutionalists instead of ideologues: institutionalists may share the ideologues' posture in the Gulf but are much less reckless. Institutionalists probably won't want to blow up Arab-Israeli peace. Ideologues will.
Ppl have to understand that a lot of the praise from center and right on Biden's fopo choices thus far is not *policy agreement* overall, it's recognition that these are folks you can disagree with but actually have a debate on policy with.
And they value the architecture of America's place in the world. I don't have any illusions about their preferred approach to Iran (bad). But would they sacrifice half a million Syrians for it? Would they trade Israel for Qatar over it? Less likely than the ideologues.
