it's funny that this prick is representing Northeast Queens AND the North Shore because about a week ago, my friend declared that people in Bayside (very much Northeast Queens) like to pretend they're from...(drumroll)...the NORTH SHORE. I objected that the guys I knew from Bayside when I was growing up were some of the great freaks (think the positive, late '60s usage) of all time. he pointed out that things might have changed since then and of course, he's right. for the record, I've known quite a few proud North Shore assholes and they're among the worst people I've ever been exposed to. my good-for-nothing sister has aspired to be one of their number for about thirty years and all she does with her friends is have lunch (I'm not sure about the compulsive spin classes being maintained now that she's 70), during which the only topics of conversation are the last cruise and the vast amounts of money they spend on their long-grown children.
but, detest them as I may, I'm not sure they deserve Mr. Santos. still, you have to sort of admire the swollen balls he'd need to lie about EVERYTHING. obviously, he knew a little more about the stupidity and incompetence of NY Democrats that, say, I do. but I'm also the worst liar I know, so I assume that ANYBODY who lies will eventually get caught. good thing I'm not in politics.
having said that, I'll immediately admit to trying to lie in the last paragraph. Santos and the people he's representing pretty much deserve each other.
and vis-a-vis Don Jr. (who, it seems increasingly clear, is in danger of not making it to anything like his biblical span) and his bullshit: how can the Repubs be delivering what we "need" (I sure as shit don't WANT it) WITHOUT the necessary folks in Washington? but let's remember that his reputation in private school and college was entirely based on his tendency to piss in other people's beds (look it up). and--oh YEAH--HATING on his dad.
how did your circus encounter turn out? I went to the same circus when I was four or five and fell asleep. I guess clowns bore me.

I thought the circus was pretty interesting. But when they got rid of the tents and did them inside, THAT is when it got boring.
that might explain why I fell asleep...it was in the old Madison Square Garden.
Very different from the Big Top. With the tents, you're out in it, the smell of the animals, all the 'back stage" is there to be seen.
Ringling Brothers was the best.
I know...I'm sorry to have just missed that era. but to compensate, I watch "Trapeze" whenever it's on, being a huge Burt Lancaster fan.
