Today, I signed an Executive Order temporarily repealing bedtimes in the City of New York so that kids of all ages can watch our team in the NBA Finals.

As Mayor, you’re forced to make many difficult decisions. This was not one of them.

Go Knicks.

It's that transactional BS that goes along with all those bored rich butterflies who started out all the money they need to buy brains or bodies to do real work that allows their wealth to continue. So they see joy or talent, they buy it for themselves or their collections.
I'm a Spurs fan, and I'm almost sad that Knicks are going to be cursed because their owner is too stupid to realize everything *rump touches dies.

Most great leaders exhibit playfulness where appropriate. I worry about leaders who never do.
