We were recently asked for an "in-depth analysis on the shitshow in Albany," but, uh, Sweet Mother of Christ, what could we possibly say? It is crazy! Honestly, here is a passage which perfectly encapsulates the sheer absurdity of what is happening in the state capital right now.
The leader of an insurgent coalition challenging the New York Senate's Democratic majority says the group now has the keys to the chamber, which has been locked for two days by Democrats.... This apparently ends the coalition's threat to hold its inaugural day in control of the session in a nearby park Wednesday afternoon.I mean, WHAT?
Is Von Brunn behind this, too?

HOW DID THEY GET THE KEYS? Did the insurgents ask to look at the keys for just a minute and then ran off with them? How is it possible there are only one set of keys? The republicans were in charge for YEARS - didn't they ever make a spare set of keys? I'M SO CONFUSED. I'm moving back to Nevada where politics were easy to understand.
The new iPhone has an app that unlocks senates.
Obvi they snuck up behind a sleeping guard with a large potbelly and unclipped a giant key-ring from his belt loop and just as the did that he stretched and yawned and they freaked out and hid back behind in the shadows but then he made that slurpy sleep-om nom nomish sound and settled back and then VICTORYYYYYYYYYY
So, from the picture I can assume the aggrieved "insurgents" are going to blast off from Albany in a rebel troop transport they bought used on Hoth?
They're going to chant "Donna Martin graduates!" all the way from the park to the chamber, by gum.
nice. gold star.
A billionaire runs NYC and, now, a billionaire runs Albany. What the fuck, people? Are we sheep?
yes
Fuck Albany, why is no one covering this?

I just hope this turns into a scene out of the Taiwan or South Korean parliamentary sessions, where chairs get thrown, doors blockaded and furious fists start a-flying!
