If it’s not Adams, then it’s likely Zohran the Magnificent. Those are the choices New York gets today, and Zohran has a disturbingly good shot. My MAGA friends in the city tell me they’d rather stick with Adams — because the alternative is death by redistribution. Such is the sad reality of New York: choose between the devil you know, or the magician who makes your paycheck disappear.

Next Tuesday never looked so expensive.

I watched the whole hour and 43 minutes of that. A lot of those young comrades are suffering from what I call “Doctor Zhivago Syndrome - they think that under Communism THEY will all be poets, playwrights,”students” and various other species of layabout.

As our Supreme Kommissar Red Square would say, “Report to the nearest railway depot. Don’t forget warm clothes and a shovel!”

Gen. Yevgraf Zhivago: I told myself it was beneath my dignity to arrest a man for pilfering firewood. But nothing ordered by the party is beneath the dignity of any man, and the party was right: One man desperate for a bit of fuel is pathetic. Five million people desperate for fuel will destroy a city. That was the first time I ever saw my brother. But I knew him. And I knew that I would disobey the party. Perhaps it was the tie of blood between us, but I doubt it. We were only half tied anyway, and brothers will betray a brother. Indeed, as a policeman, I would say, get hold of a man's brother and you're halfway home. Nor was it admiration for a better man than me. I did admire him, but I didn't think he was a better man. Besides, I've executed better men than me with a small pistol.
