Because I am a deeply, deeply unfair man, I will only link to this funny Onion eye-roll – “As a major winter storm continued its advance toward New York City, Mayor Bill de Blasio advised residents Monday to make peace with whatever higher power they call God, for all shall meet their death in the coming tempest.” – and note that maybe Democratic New York governor Andrew Cuomo should have kept the NYC subways running last night, GIVEN THAT THEY HAD TO RUN LAST NIGHT ANYWAY. Sheesh. These people.
Mind you, I’m debating whether to spend the morning yelling at my county government for shutting down all the schools again. On the one hand, most of my county is fairly rural. On the other hand, ‘fairly rural’ should mean ‘decent at adapting to weather.’ On the gripping hand, my county and state just elected Republicans to the top executive positions, so it’s my civic duty to keep my party’s politicians on the straight and narrow, no?
As someone living in a place that’s outright rural, “decent at adapting to weather” sounds a great deal like “sitting at home by the fire, enjoying hot chocolate”. 🙂
(Actually, the county crews do a good job. It’s rare to be snowbound for even a full day. But I can recall a couple of times where we were stranded for a week or more.)
I wonder what the payoff for a failed proggie NYC mayor is these days.

Bilandic got onto the IL Supreme Court after his Chicago administration poked the pit-bull around snow removal, plowing the way for Mayor Jane.

Perhaps DeBlasio can get something equally cushy?
