Here it is the middle of the week and it feels like the weekend. Perhaps it’s the weather – a little cooler!
We’re on the trailing end of an election held yesterday in New York’s 9th Congressional District – which is kind of adjacent to Staten Island and an area called the promontory – (somewhat ill-defined to those of us who do not know Queens from the Bronx) except that in the South people who come from up there ‘talk funny.’ Or so we think – and it’s rather like standing in front of a verbal mirror… They think the same thing, about us!
When I prepared the materials for today’s program it seemed all the networks were stingy with their info. I think it was flashed on the TV screen something like 11:40 PM that the Republican was leading the Democrat in this race being looked at by partisans from both sides of the spectrum and they showed the Republican at 55% and the Democrat at 45% -- which was satisfactory enough for me to go to bed.
So this report is not just arrow sharp with what you may know on Wednesday. Sorry—we do the best we can with a one-man crew. (Me) But that crew is one hundred percent dedicated and in agreement with ALL that I do. I’ve never had a disagreement – we get along wonderfully. But if there is a difference of opinion we manage to keep it off the pages of the NYT. (
In any case we have a long way to go to November 6th 2012… and I know we all want to be friends. So pass the chocolate please. (J)
Cordially, IN HIM
