Apparently the current dolt in the useless "Public Advocate" position in NYC---the same office that was deBlasio's springboard to the Mayoralty---is now trying to hold up  implementation of the just-voted-on city budget, apparently because he disagrees with the amount of police de-funding.  DeBlasio is correctly saying that the Public Advocate does not have that power.  

I saw the PA---one Jumaane Williams---in a Tucker Carlson clip a year or so ago, and he came across as both a racist and a fool.  It's clear that he's currently grandstanding to lay the groundwork fo his succeeding deBlasio when he's term-limited out next year.

So you're suggesting that if he gets elected, New York will become Jumaane-gy?

Following recent events, I changed part of the introduction:

Still, the recent attacks on monuments initially seemed informed by a kind of historical consciousness. But when protesters turned from statues of Confederate generals and slaveholders to those of abolitionists and horned ungulates many observers were perplexed.

Pretty much.  

Relocation suggestions are now being entertained.

Horned lives matter?

Now I have something specific to pray for. Considering it's a topical piece, I'm sure you'll get a quick response.

I'm partial to Atlanta (outside the Perimeter, which roughly coincides with the city limits), but you would definitely need a car. Florida is also nice if you don't mind humidity, and there's no income tax. Tennessee has no income tax and the weather is more temperate.

AOC will bow to you like a god, like those primitive tribes in old movies did when the captured explorer flicks his cigarette lighter.

While back our disposal died.... I took apart and found the bad part.

Part cost more than a new disposal.

I would definitely avoid some of the spots mentioned in this weather report:
