Extreme partisanship in politics today would make the founding fathers sick
Patriots are rolling eyes
My very own genteel wonderfulness prevents suggesting America’s members of the Home waterboard its former chairman of — pardon the expression — the Intelligence Committee.
I — a faithful USA patriot — point out solely presumably plausibly perchance if mayhap the aptly named Adam Schiff may be dumped overboard.
We seated indicted Santos in Congress. We promoted Schiff who is aware of solely 9 Commandments. Nothing about untruthfulness. Schiff, making legal guidelines in USA’s highest echelons whereas abusing his energy to pursue Trump? And the way about thou shalt not screw thy nation — like possibly Hunter & Co. possibly?
Extra witnesses in Operation Donald will lurch ahead. Such quickness is for encouraging a plea deal to keep away from conviction.
George Washington’s “Farewell Handle” (written by Hamilton) distrusted political events. He felt partisanship a “potent engine . . . to subvert the facility of the folks.” And that events would possibly encourage the populace “to hunt safety within the absolute energy of a person” who’d use it “to the needs of his personal elevation.”
He feared the “spirits of revenge” to punish those that misplaced the election.
This, completed in “completely different ages and nations” led to “a everlasting despotism.” George had extra on his thoughts than Martha.
Meals for thought
Extra. Comes now an East Hampton meals pantry July 12.
“Nobody within the Hamptons ought to be hungry,” says Hampton/Montauk writer Kirby Marcantonio organizing a seashore meals profit. Close by is Tisch value $1.7 billion, Koch whose property was $57 billion, Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s $26 mil shack, DeNiro, Seinfeld, Spielberg, Gwyneth, Kravis, Diddy, Calvin value a shriveled $700 mil, Anderson Cooper, Brooke Shields, Robert Downey, Neil Patrick Harris, Ken Griffin, Sarah Jessica.
Pantry supporters embrace Paul McCartney, Paul Simon, Edie Brickell, Billy Joel, Wainwright, Ina Garten. Ken Griffin — nonetheless, laid out $238 mil for an condo, so he might ship regrets.
BUT in case you’re itchy for one thing to do on the market and also you’re a cheapo, hit Sag Harbor’s Bay Avenue Theater. Mamie Gummer, Meryl Streep’s child, is in “Dial M for Homicide” until July 23.
Tapped out
An limitless eastward schlep — simply 4 extra minutes this facet of Paris — is Montauk. Such sliver of soil accommodates eatery Duryea’s now charging patrons for water. Not from a bottle. Not designer liquid. The tap’s regular H2O stuff. Crap faucet water. You need water? They go to the sink and cost $5 for it. Subsequent it’ll be $3.50 for a pee.
Some love misplaced
Romance has pffft. One thing known as Cloudwards surveyed international film genres. Prime drama watchers: UK and US. For Cyprus or Egypt it’s motion. France and Germany, comedies. Crime movies for Morocco, South Korea. Sci-fi for Spain and Singapore. Shoot ’em up Westerns: Canada. Like crabgrass, rom-coms are all over the place. However Moon/June/romance? Fuhgeddaboutit.
So this teenager walks into the bar. Says, “Pour me a chilly one.” Bartender solutions, “Get misplaced child. You wish to get me into hassle?” The boy solutions: “Possibly later. Proper now all I would like is a beer.”
Solely within the Hamptons, youngsters, solely within the Hamptons.
