Black-out, Brown Out, and it's NOT Miller Time

That is just so funny that LA had a blackout today. We New Yorkers are so used to this stuff happening to us, that it's nice to see our rivals in the west have a little taste of it. One day the terrorist threatens you, and then the next day something happens to make you jittery with panic.

Finally, Brown resigned from FEMA. I haven't had a chance to read about the newly appointed FEMA head, but I did hear that he was a firefighter for many years. That alone renders him infinitely more qualified than the Arabian horse maven.

My mother says Michael Chertoff is Jewish. I have not confirmed it, but even if true I remain unimpressed by his performance. I think Brown is taking all the fall, when Chertoff should be sharing in the blame equally.

Speaking of politics, tomorrow is primary day, and my guy Anthony Weiner is leaving Gifford Miller in the dust! Momentum, momentum, momentum is building! I'm actually going to help my son tomorrow to get the vote out in Jewish Queens for his candidate, in spite of the fact that I don't live within NYC and can't vote for him. A run-off with Ferrer is what we are hoping for.

My husband is a NYC teacher and based on the problems he's discussed with me, I can tell that Weiner has the best understanding of the situation in the NYC public schools. Also, my husband would like a raise and a contract, if that's not so terrible. The poor guy works 16 hour days trying to teach science to high school kids who can't read or write.

Let me tell you, teaching is really hard work.
