Fears Mamdani’s election would trigger an exodus of wealthy New Yorkers were BS. Luxury home sales surged in November, with 176 contracts signed for properties priced at $4 million or more — a 25% increase from October, per Bloomberg.

Remember folks, during winter every ten degree temperature drop lowers your tire’s PSI by 1 so it’s very important to go to the gas station and notice that the air thing doesn’t work and then do that five more times at five different gas stations

In other words: I was making money shoveling conspiracy bullshit without having any facts and conning my audience to make a buck. After I leave the FBI, I will get back to that.

Sen Bill Cassidy, a liver-disease MD, complains about this ruling, as I am doing.
Here's the difference: He, personally, could have prevented all the resulting casualties, by casting the swing vote against RFK Jr. That's a power the other 330+ million of us lacked.
Don't let him forget it.

This is one of my favorite albums of all time. It was also a terrific movie.
25 years ago today, the 'O Brother, Where Art Thou?' soundtrack was released. Produced by T-Bone Burnett, it revived Americana and bluegrass for a new generation and became a modern classic all its own.
