I moved to New York City back in 1990. A little while after I arrived, there was an accident on the Subway under Union Square just after midnight, and five people were killed.
I remember reading the newspaper the next day, and the had a picture and bio of the five people who were killed, at random, on the Subway. Every single one of them looked like somebody I would try to avoid on the Subway after Midnight, and every single one of them was just a regular working stiff coming home from a job or studying at the library, and was just unlucky to be at the wrong place at the wrong time.
After that, I stopped worrying about who I was riding with on the Subway.
“New York Senator Kristin Gillibrand will be the next President of the United States”
Really? Schumer’s whore? Please enlighten me!
