Nothing irks me more than the world telling us we need to use mass transit and then mass transit using the opportunity to rip you off. I get that fuel prices are higher and it's something we should acknowledge but when CoachLine decides to add a $2 fuel surcharge it feels like a blatant ripoff. The bus ride just increased by about 25% and I'm sure this isn't the end.

When you commute into NYC five days a week, there are days that suck more than others. The lines at Port Authority this week have felt like you are standing online for Knicks tickets expect for being surrounded by excited basketball fans, you are surrounded by people who look like they hope the his runs off of the road. It's like slowly sucking every last bit of life out of you.

The corruption is so blatant that it's hard to get worked up because nobody seems to be hiding anything anymore. When Trump got his lifelong get-out-of-jail card from his own agency, we knew it was over. We no longer have a functioning government, we no longer stand for anything virtuous, we no longer are a country to be envied. We are nothing more than the kind of third world deeply corrupt dictatorships we claim to fight against.

It's 100 degrees outside, the Knicks are in the Eastern Conference finals and nobody is bothering me. This is the time I go to my fridge and grab a beer. I typically do IPA's but on a hot summer day I don't mind something lighter. My fridge is usually stocked but today I'm digging in the back and pull out a Bud Heavy which is the only thing I have that isn't something brutal like a Yuengling. I have had three Bud Heavies in the last thirty years and I'm immediately reminded of why. This thing tastes like that Yuengling filtered through my gym socks. It's an absolutely flavorless bottle of Clydesdale piss.

The corruption from Trump is so blatant that we've now just become immune to any feelings about it. I can't believe he has done it but over the last decade he has made us forget our values and morals and now whenever he does something we just collectively shrug. It's like the entire country has just given up as it all feels completely preordained and predictable.

The White House is trumpeting an agreement they say the Chinese have made that would have US farmers selling $17 million of agricultural products annually. That sounds like an incredible number until you realize we routinely sold them over $20billion before Trump started playing chicken. He flew half way across the globe to come back with a worse deal than we had before he came into office and still the sycophantic media will praise him for tying his shoes.

Has anybody seen the Jaxson Dart billboards for Cure insurance? I can't believe those things, they look like somebody took a phone with their iPhone of him mid blink and they are posted up and down the turnpike. It must cost them a fortune to have him as a sponsor and the billboard space can't be cheap, yet they have some lame logo, some stupid phrase and then cheap out on the photo. Her Cure Insurance, let me help you burn $2M next time. Sent from my iPhone
Why would a man ever walk out of the house for something longer than to take the garbage out wearing shoes without socks? Not only is it a completely ridiculous look, there is no way this dude isn't coming home with his feet reeking to high heavens. It is the look that screams, not only am I most certainly a flaccid ape, you won't be able to sit in the same room with me after I take these off. A man's feet should never be sock-less in a close toed shoe, I will take no further questions.

Going on vacation with a bunch of fellow retirees from Columbus and then walking around the city with a stupid yellow hat has to be the equivalent of volunteering to be water boarded. I have worked in the city for almost 30 years and I'm still shocked by how these tourney are willing to be dressed up like a bunch of walking match sticks for like $100 a pop. These are adults and the fact they have to be color coordinated so one doesn't accidentally wander off into Central Park make me sad for the state of humanity

For the life of me I can't figure out why people take Saran Wrap and invade their luggage. Maybe it proves that somebody hasn't gone through your bag and looked at your dirty underwear on a return flight. Maybe they use it to keep your bag from getting dirty or maybe it's just a giant condom.

Nobody has to tell Americans that the economy isn't good. Nobody cares that the stock market is booming when you spend $70 to fill up your tank and $250 doesn't get you a grocery cart full of food. The entire world seems upside down if the only thing we convince ourselves is good is the fact that dollar pizza is only $1.50

The rotting corpse is getting bored in Iran which men's he either finds a new shiny toy or he decides to blow up Castle Grayskull. It sounds more and more ore like we will have boots on the ground in Tehran which sounds like the kind of half baked plan that had us in Iraq for a decade. Glad we got the no forever wars president.

I haven't followed this that closely but letting anybody off of that cruise ship to mingle with masses seems like a terrible idea. I am not saying they should be stranded at sea but this seems like it's ripe for a true Lost show where they go to some remote island and live a Lord of the Flies show that CNN broadcast on TV. We'd all be glued to the sets and everybody would forget about the $5 gas, asymmetrical economy and miserable president.

Nothing shows rich upper middle class elitism than the way they treat the guys who have to collect rh shopping carts in the parking lot. Look around and these self centered pricks will leave carts in the middle of the parking lot, in the roads throughout that parking lot, upon the grass etc. They all believe that bribing that cart back 19 feet to the font of the store is below them. This is the downfall of humanity .

We aren't ready for another pandemic and I'm quite sure we wouldn't survive as a country. The only thing I'm happy about is that this Hantavirus isn't some respiratory thing like Covid where you were fearful if somebody so much sneeze in your direction. I'm not sure how serious to take this but I am certainly not going on a cruise

Is there a more boring national story than this Vrabel/Russini thing. I get that the are both scummy people and because they are national figures it's a pastor but this affair seems to have way longer lifeline. I'm honestly not sure why this is even a story at all anymore.

I swear that after 50 years on this fine earth, I still have no idea what the Met Gala is. I mean I know what it's about and that a bunch of celebrities dress up like some fancy Halloween but I don't know what the actual goal is. I used do think it was to support the Mets which seems like a worthwhile cause and is be fine with Beyoncé dressing like a cat for the cause

We were told it wasn't going to touch the East Wing, we were told it would be gullly paid for by donations and we were told it would be tastefully done and because it's Trump none of that happened. We know the donations were a payoff. We knew saving the East Wing was a lie and we knew that this thing would be a hideous eyesore. And we have always been sure that this thing will be completely wire tapped by the Chinese, Russians, Israelis, Venezuelans and everybody else.

I've heard people debate the demise of Spirit from the fuel prices to the competitive nature of the industry to an unsaid underlying recession. I think that it's always been more simple than that, people hated the experience. Flying isn't glamorous but when it becomes a thing where you are nickel and diming me to death, people take notice. So here's a hint, don't treat us like we are traveling on NJ transit and maybe we'd stay loyal

Rudy is in critical condition and there is nobody who seems to care at all. Most of what I've heard so far said "he sucks but I wish you were telling this story about somebody else." I'm guessing he makes it out and continues to be a bit of a drunken uncle at GOP events. His fall from grace is epic and I'm wondering at what part in the obituary does it have him taking off his pants

Trump is going to try a new plan for Iran because giving him the ability for a do over seems totally sensible. We have gotten into a meaningless war which is killing inflation and the economy not to mention the impact on thousands of Iranians. This is the world we live in now, the guy who crashes the car gets another car on our dime.

Trump may try to convince his base that we are winning in Iran but anybody who has filled up in the last month, sure doesn't seem to feel that way. It's costing me $55-$60 every time I fill up. The buses are full, the commuter trains are packed and my wallet is empty but if you complain you will be tagged as being anti American by the Trump crazies.
