Mr. Sellers and wife Ellen

Keep an eye on Bakari Sellers, and not just because he is, uh, slippery. Smooth-talking, smart dressing Mr. Sellers may be the second black president of the United States for those two reasons. Heavy emphasis on the first. By the darnedest coincidence, Mr. Sellers resembles Barack Obama’s kid brother. That is as accidental as the solution to a complex calculus … Read More

Why Proper Ladies Spurn Politics

Ari L. NoonanBreaking News, News1 Comment

How can you take seriously people who carp this way:  The New York Times, wearing an almost-straight face, complains that barely 25 percent of the City Council is comprised of ladies. Bean-counting libs bristle – as soon as they put on their makeup. To heck with having babies. To heck with ironing clothes. To heck with fixing dinner, argue the … Read More

Mr. Weissman

The days are dwindling down to a precious few, but not to worry. Former Mayor Andy Weissman is confident that the City Council will beat the deadline and approve specific regulations before Jan. 1 regarding legalization of marijuana as a business. This would obviate the need to adhere to state regulations, which are likelier to be more liberal. A close … Read More

Mr. Senders

Second in a series Re “The Price of ‘Daring to be Different’” Why make a movie about a fairly obscure, low-wattage Long Island radio station that bravely introduced break-through New Wave music to America in the 1980s, but was banished from the air 30 autumns ago?

Mr. de Leon

Because of their members’ widespread cerebral limits, limp-necked liberal racists are ordered to swim in the shallow, callow end of life’s intellectual pool. Real-life bobblehead dolls such as state Senate leader Kevin (I Love Illegal Aliens) de Leon and George (Me, Too) Skelton of the Los Angeles Times are brilliant samples of limp-necked models. As loyal liberals, Mr. de Leon … Read More

Mr. Zirgulis

Robert Zirgulis has run for office often enough to stride boldly, confidently across the community stage. He returns with a powerhouse message. Often speaking in stentorian tones, the president of the Culver City Short-Term Rental Owners Assn., he is considerably vexed by the pace of the City Council’s airbnb task force. They are dragging their wheels – and using offensive … Read More
