One of the clone they have for inspectors had a hard time believing that Hawaii was a state (wife’s girlfriend was born in Hawaii to Japanese parents)...

What I've seen of Hawaii (nothing but Oahu) suggests that it's the easternmost (or westernmost) prefecture of Japan.And then there's Chin Ho Kelly to explain. ;-)

Is Cuomo trying to burnish his foreign policy credentials?

We do not need a new bridge but a method to get the cars and trucks through the gestapo of inspectors in a more efficient manner. The bridge could easily handle traffic on the busiest of days if the inspections were up to the task.

Thank you! I've been preaching that for well over a decade. Every time Sandy Beech does another show bemoaning the fact we still don't have another bridge, I want to scream.

In New York, though, something new -- anything new -- is looked upon as a substitute for progress. And, of course, they destroyed one of the last viable neighborhoods on the West Side screwing around for 20 years.

Well said.
