And then a few weeks back the mayor where that all happened asked the Mohawk to erect blockades to keep out coronavirus-infected travelers trying to escape from the city.

Which reminds me, one of Lastman's scandals was that he had two unacknowledged 40 year old children. He was also accused of using his furniture store to bribe the WWE for Wrestlemania.

In other funny things, some time either last year or the year before there was an editorial in a UK paper (the Spectator?) which asked the question 'why is Jeremy Corbyn so anti-semitic?' and answered with 'because communism is inherently Jewish.' Also from back in March when the Roni was setting in and everyone was making a run on the supermarkets. Some media dunce took a picture of an empty super market shelf in London and posted it with "thank goodness Jeremy Corbyn isn't Prime Minister, otherwise this would be happening in England."
