FOOD FOR THOUGHT!

Mayor de Blasio is in deep trouble because of his anti-cop attitude. The NYC police are basically on strike.  Governor Cuomo is in even worse trouble because of rampant corruption in the New York State government.  Cuomo set up a special unit to investigate corruption. When they actually found some, he shut the unit down.  However a Federal Prosecutor kept right on going and the most powerful man in New York Politics, Sheldon Silver, has been arrested.  The connection with Andrew Cuomo is so obvious that even the Huffington Post noticed:

Beyond the political turbulence, Cuomo must consider the possibility, uncertain at this point, that Bharara has the governor in his sights. Nothing in the complaint against Silver implicates the governor in any wrongdoing. But one of the political donors it mentions was also Cuomo’s largest contributor in the most recent election cycle, and the governor and the speaker had a tight working relationship.

This explains why de Blasio and Cuomo were desperate for an opportunity to show leadership.  Then, God sent them a huge blizzard.  They both leaped into action.  But there was a problem. God apparently changed his mind. Now, if possible, de Blasio and Cuomo are in even more trouble for over-reacting. It’s a beautiful thing.

Anyone remotely familiar with New York politics was not surprised to learn that Sheldon Silver was corrupt.  The shock was that someone is holding him accountable.  Governor Cuomo has been cautious in his comments on the case.  When you combine that with his decision to shut down the unit investigating corruption, it gives one pause.  Perhaps Cuomo is more than a little afraid of Silver turning state’s evidence.  If media reports are accurate, Sheldon Silver is looking at some serious jail time.  He will be 71 years old in February.  If things go wrong he could easily spend the rest of his life in jail.

In the meantime, all those people who panicked and bought large quantities of food, for the storm that never came, have a problem.  That is why the New York Post is providing advice on creative recipes for “snowmageddon food stockpiles.”

This is what happens when people foolishly put Democrats in positions of responsibility.
