It could be worse . . . right?
AMERICA. All for one and none for nobody.
Expectorate on the Supreme Court. New laws to fie on the Constitution. Welcome foreigners who’d bar you from their own country. A president whose aroma seeps outside his john.
Free killers. Jail pols. Screw reading and writing in schools. English a second language. Smashing patriot statues and putting up Marx.
Besides Mrs. Menendez — may her jewelry increase — Jersey’s Gov. Phil Murphy is unhappy because wife Tammy — four kids, villa in Italy, chairs a soccer team — wants Menendez’s seat. Her platform? Who knows? Maybe move Atlantic City to Newark.
The family — and many others — are deeply cranky.
But New York scratches on. The Bronx is up and the quality’s down. Outdoor eateries, bikes, delivery guys, scaffolds, construction, congested east/west streets, taxes a lot, taxis not, mayor wants to be president, governor wants to stay governor, blond senator wants to remain blond and senator, a presidential son (may his tripe decrease) plus a Long Island rep who admitted he lies.
Forget rats, roaches, garbage and our subway in a hole — at least we got legal marijuana. And online gambling.
We not great or what?
Stewart spills on time in jail
The 92nd Street Y. Martha Stewart. On her time behind bars: “The West Virginia all-girls prison we called ‘camp.’ One, whose mother was from Eritrea, used to smuggle in the flat Injera bread that’s part of Ethiopian cuisine. She smuggled it in through her bra.
“I taught them how to make apple butter from crab apples that grew on the campus. But, then, once I also got solitary confinement because they found a hard-boiled egg in my room.
“Listen, my brother was a hunter when we were younger. He skinned muskrats. I helped sell them to Sears — unblemished, no holes in the skins. He made $15 a skin because of me. Also, I was my father’s favorite. Eagle Scout leader, he’d sit with his Indian feather headdress on. So, listen, prison wasn’t that bad.”
Coming up is her doc about her jail stint and our penal system’s failures.
Serious situation
BRIGADIER General (Res.) Amir Avivi, Gaza division’s former deputy commander: “Hamas must not survive. Also, Iran who committed Hamas’ suicide mission to prevent the US-Israel-Sunni alliance and peace in the Middle East. Every building used by Iran and Hamas for war is a civilian building. They intentionally expose their own civilians to become martyrs against every counterstrike by Israel. Israel’s security means destroying Hamas.”
Odds and ends
KATHERINE Heigl did dim sum at Chinese restaurant Hutong . . . WITH De Niro and DiCaprio in his “Killers of the Flower Moon,” Martin Scorsese says it shows our government’s bad points. Runs 3 ¹/₂ hours. Lots of time for our bad points.
THOUGHT: No point in asking Biden to step up and really act like a president. He doesn’t do imitations.
Maybe said only in New York, kids, only in New York.
