Warren Wilhelm gave a lame explanation of his bagel lie.
He was trying to ingratiate himself to his Park Slope buddies whose patience has been wearing thin, but his attempt fell way short.
It's ironic that no doubt he is now "toast" in Park Slope, New York City, and the U.S.A.

I will not vote for any Democrat candidates for years to come because of this waste-of-time, waste-of-money impeachment sham.

It is a sham because it is too limited. Your president breaks the law whenever he lies, whenever he puts his own and his buddies' money ahead of the country's good. And then there is Ukraine.
And Putin, behind everything.

Say what you will, what's happening now STILL comes nowhere near the expense and waste-of-time as the G.O.P-staged Benghazi hearings.
And after Donald Trump. Mitch McConnell and a whole host of other Republicans, they'll never see my vote again either.

@B. - regarding "Your president breaks the law whenever he lies, whenever he puts his own and his buddies' money ahead of the country's good."
That makes it hit me that an action for fraud for deceit generally requires justifiable reliance on what he said. He's probably covered for life for no one ever to have justification for relying on anything he says!
He can defraud anyone for the rest of his life, and his lawyer can ask "Were you alive while he was campaigning or while he was in office?" "Yes, I was." "And you expect this court to believe you thought you could rely on anything he said? I move to dismiss."

Sorry, but this laughable attempt by the democrats is nothing but a farce. You can't say you are going to impeach someone before they are even elected, then spend years investigating him, find nothing, so you make stuff up, and twist facts and try to make it into some massive criminal activity...and think voters are going to buy it. The left loves this...and that speaks volumes about how much they value the Rule of Law in this country, but independents and the right know this is a farce. Nancy handing out impeachment pens...seriously...and we are to take this as real. It's a show for their radical base...nothing else.

Disappointing that there is no NY Times coverage of MTA town hall meetings on Queens bus re-design.
This is a major transportation infrastructure issue.
Many concerned bus riders - there was a line to get into the meeting.

Here’s to many more years of Mr. Byford (and hopefully future governors let him do his job).

"[Gov. Andrew Cuomo] has emblazoned the nation's traditional motto onto the walls of the airport in Rochester, a train station in Schenectady, a rest stop near Albany, the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel and subway stops in New York City."
So that's what happened. Had to take the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel (I'll never call it the Hugh Carey Tunnel) on Sunday and saw the big brass sign.
What's with Cuomo and the signs? All those tacky "I Love New York" billboards; now this.
The great good will that I had for Cuomo on account of his push for marriage equality and other measures I appreciated is wearing thin. It might at this point be shredded.

@B. - I wish more people had felt that shred feeling before the third term primaries. Reading this, as much as I'm looking forward to this production,

I would much rather have Cynthia Nixon in Albany and Andrew Cuomo directing a play. He's running this state just as before, with all the grace and wisdom of a huge play in terrible trouble out of town, and trying to solve it by replacing the lighting designer ("hey, folks, look at this instead of looking at that").
Actually, the Cuomo brothers in something by David Mamet, maybe as a one-night reading for charity, might be exciting - Chris Cuomo on his 9 pm TV show already is expert at the Mamet overlapping dialogue. Exciting as all get out, though I often have just a general idea of what anyone is saying.
Congratulations to Michael Kimmelman and the NYT for bringing to public attention the attempt to wall in the High Line even more than it already is. The good guys don't win often, but this time they did.

What a great Metropolitan Diary!

@Dan H - It's really lovely.
But to remember the food and not recall what musical the group saw? I was hoping it would be "Footloose" so they could be "holding out for a gyro" - but the stage musical wasn't until the 1990s.
But I still found the concept of remembering the food and not remembering the musical is very new and fresh. Thanks to love of food, and quantities established when I was a workout addict in my 20s, I've packed on like a million pounds since my first-ever surgery last June. (BTW, did you know of you eat more in this Postmates era while you can move less, the food is still terrific and you can tell yourself you'll work it off later!).

Judging from the collective background experience of each of the newly appointed Impeachment Managers, it's fair to say that this will be a very enlightening, if not invigorating trial.
Mr. McConnell most definitely has his work cut out for him.

scents and tastes are able to evoke memories far more strongly than the other senses. one reason to cherish good food had in likewise company.
