I hope this is true. Headline from nypost.com: “Tariffs are working to weaken China’s unfair trade — don’t stop now.”

Excerpt from an NYP editorial: “…this decade only 40% of liberal women between the ages of 25 and 35 reported being parents. Meanwhile, 71% of conservative women in this age group say they are parents — a 31 point gap.” Not surprising.

Fun headline from foxnews.com: “DAVID MARCUS: Five ‘families’ of Democratic Party plot against each other to seize power.” The will never measure up to Corleone, Barzini, Tattaglia, Stracci and Cuneo.

RIP actor Peter Greene, 60, cause of death unannounced. Born in Jersey, he received his training under the legendary Lee Strasberg. His persona made him perfect for roles on the dark side. He was comfortable on the big or small screen and the stage. There are 103 titles under his name at IMDb, career spanning 1990 to the present, eight works to be released posthumously. He appeared in Pulp Fiction (1994), The Mask (1994), The Usual Suspects (1995), Under Siege 2: Dark Territory (1995) and Training Day (2002), to name five films. On TV he was in 13 episodes of The Black Donnellys and nine of For Life. His theater credits include Balls, Of Mice and Men, Back and Forth Again, Anna Christie and Stories of Nam. Well done, Sir.

The Anti-Inflation Book Shop was more fun than expected today. The temperature reached the low 40s and there was a bit of sunshine to take the bite out of the cold. My thanks to the gentleman who bought DVDs of Intolerable Cruelty (2003) and Ray (2004), and to the young woman who purchased Fort Freak by George R.R. Martin; and to the woman who donated a hardcover mystery; and to Rafa, who rendered a bit of the history of Ukraine, from which he emigrated in 1992; and to Sam, who lamented the departure of two of his NY Mets favorites, as did two of my old friends on Facebook. I liberated myself from caring about sports years ago.
