This is a bit petty, but petty is my specialty, so you shouldn\u2019t be surprised. I\u2019ve had it with Governor Cuomo, bullying his way onto my TV screen, just as the Price is Right gets to the grand finale. Day after day I watch contestants win, or almost win, trips, sofas, refrigerators, dining room sets and other goods as the show moves to a playoff between two contestants. That honor is decided by spinning a giant wheel. They then try to guess the price of a collection of \u201cgrand\u201d prizes. The one who comes closest to the price, wins. A boat, a car, an exotic trip, a giant screen TV, luxurious merchandise or whatever was in the mix that day. Most viewers try to guess the price, too. Just like they do when watching Jeopardy, except you have a chance of getting the correct answer on Price is Right. <\/p>\n
Just as the drama reaches its peak, Governor Cuomo takes center stage, with details ad-nauseam regarding the pandemic and justifying his every action. It\u2019s an FDR fireside chat on steroids. Except, FDR only conducted 30 fireside chats over a 12-year period. Cuomo outdid him in one month and pushed Drew Carey aside in the process. Roosevelt understood the principal, that less is more; Cuomo never got the memo.<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t care what your politics are, you have to admit, when it comes to Cuomo\u2019s parent to child lectures (we\u2019re the child) are way overdone. And, sits on his throne with neatly trimmed hair, while the rest of us go around with a mop on top of our head. And like Trump, he doesn\u2019t wear a facemask, doesn\u2019t set a good example. It\u2019s become the longest campaign speech in history. If it were on Netflix, we\u2019d be in season 42. <\/p>\n
