And imagine how much worse this would be if climate change weren't a Democratic hoax ...

‘Winter’ Wonderland in Bryant Park

Not really complaining since we had a lovely evening. But should Damian and I be able to comfortably dine al fresco three weeks before Christmas? #climatechange

The Daily News: I love how the GOP is trying to turn Harvey Weinstein's bad behavior into a political issue because he donates to Democrats -- yet the completely illogical reasoning fails even harder when the guy's own company FIRED him while Republicans elected their (admitted) sex criminal president.

The Minneapolis Star Tribune: Hollywood outrage mute for an insider

My former colleague Mary who moved back to Minnesota writes:

Let me count the ways this article is a fail.

1. False equivalency. The Access Hollywood tape was a smoking gun in a political campaign, with the prize being leader of the free world. The scumbaggery in Hollywood was perpetrated by the leader of ... a movie studio. Only one of those people has the power to end civilization as we know it.

2. Victim blaming. The whole tenor of this article is "Why didn't these women do more to stop him?" (Free bonus tip! Look for the victim-blaming tactic anytime a powerful man -- hell, any regular dude -- is accused of sexual harassment/assault.)

3. Attempted normalization. The article allows agenda setting by Conway, et. al: "See, all powerful men do it!" -- trying to cast this as regular mogul behavior. THIS IS NOT NORMAL. #resist

The New York Times: The timing of this "Honeymooners" play is prescient because Damian just introduced me to "Honeymooners '93" on "In Living Color" reruns. (How did I miss this genius show -- "All Up in the Family," anti-gossip queen Miss Bernita Burtrell and Homey D. Clown have me dying! (I did know "Men on ..." from going to Revolver, however!)

The New York Post: I love that Trump's "decision" is being ignored by states, businesses and individuals alike. So much for leading -- people just work around him.

The Daily News: Our country's embarrassing, casually racist conspiracy-theory loving dad has struck again -- and people from all walks life are letting him have it

God Help Us All

As word circulates that Donald Trump intends to pull the U.S. from the Paris climate agreement, I feel reassured knowing our planet is in good hands.

The only thing more horrifying than this guy's socks is that there's snow on the ground and he's probably not the least bit cold. #climatechange

Song of the Day: 'Ridin' the Storm Out' by REO Speedwagon

Watch HERE.

I used to dread when this song would come on MTV -- even by REO Speedwagon's standards it's not very good -- but it seemed perfect for today, as I trudged through mounds of snow that fell the day after it was 62 degrees out.

'Change' Some Can't Believe In

  Wore my Sunday best for the nor'easter today -- anyone wanna meet for a drink at this sidewalk cafe when I get off work tonight? -- a completely different look from my hurricane garb last week. Oh, and message me if you have any suggestions for this weekend's look -- I hear it's going to be sunny and in the 60s!
