Chris Churchill on the prospect of U.S. Rep. Andrew M. Cuomo, D-Malone: "On a frigid January day, a bearded Cuomo, wearing a flannel jacket, emerges from a newly bought Ford F-150 to address a crowd of excited reporters."
Churchill: Andrew Cuomo, the Adirondack mountain man?
Who’s to say our former governor can’t become a beloved Adirondacker, a man the North Country proudly calls its own?

Every interview would be improved if the questions were sung to the tune of "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald." I encourage the WH press corps to try it for a week in the Oval Office.
On the anniversary of the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, I always think of T. D. Mischke's '90s radio interview with a historian, who Mischke surprises by *singing every question* to the Lightfoot tune. The historian gamely gives straight answers! (at 8:00) www.mischkemadness.com/audiofiles/t...
For many years I assumed that the Edmund Fitzgerald song was about a shipwreck in like, 1843. But Gordo wrote it the month after it happened! News you can use.

Ed Martin, using his official DOJ account, is now promoting an unsubstantiated conspiracy theory accusing a former Capitol Police officer of planting pipe bombs on J6.
Just yesterday, a post from the same account claimed it was “false” that the DOJ had identified Shauni Kerkhoff as the suspect.
