Or at least hopefully she gets enough votes to make Andy nervous. If you&#8217;re a NY Democrat, be sure to head to the polls and vote for her and for Wu as well. If you&#8217;re not a NY Democrat, well, I hear voter fraud is super easy to get away with here in NY, &#8216;cuz we kind of encourage people to vote instead of making it difficult for them.<\/p>\n<p>As if Primary Day wasn&#8217;t enough, today is also the day the cab for my tractor is supposed to arrive.  Not that I&#8217;ll be installing it anytime soon (I certainly hope the snow doesn&#8217;t fly for a while, but you never know), but it&#8217;ll be nice to have something new to clutter the garage with.<\/p>\n<p>But wait, there&#8217;s more! Destiny &#8211; a PS4 game I pre ordered months and months ago so I&#8217;d get exclusive access to play the beta when it came out (but never did) &#8211; will be delivered today as well. This is good, &#8216;cuz I&#8217;ve been through Wolfenstein: The New Order a couple of times now. Unfortunately, I suck at video games, but what the hell.<\/p>\n<p>None of that matters, of course, because today&#8217;s the day that Apple will announce a new iPhone!  And it&#8217;s reportedly gonna be something special &#8211; the same fucking iPhone as it ever is with a bigger screen (actually, two bigger screen sizes). Oh, and it&#8217;s going to be slightly thinner, of course. And cool, really cool.  Probably the coolest iPhone ever.  Plus I hear they may incorporate a few features that have been available on the Android platform for a long time, but which will now be THE MOST AWESOME THINGS EVER!! Oh and they may announce a watch, too!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Yawn\" height=\"15\" src=\"http:\/\/www.morningseditionists.com\/msblog2\/wp-content\/plugins\/ckeditor-for-wordpress\/ckeditor\/plugins\/smiley\/images\/Yawn.gif\" title=\"Yawn\" width=\"15\" \/><\/p>\n<p>So, I guess I&#8217;d been living in a news blackout zone, but I hadn&#8217;t heard anything about the Ray Rice guy until a couple days ago, even though we knew about it back in February.  And that was just to catch a headline that there was video of him punching his then-fiance (now wife) in an elevator. I guess I assumed it would be something disturbing, but yesterday I actually saw the video and I have to say it was worse than I thought. I mean, I was shocked (and that&#8217;s not easy to do).<\/p>\n<p>To see this &#8220;big man&#8221; haul off and knock this woman out cold and then drag her out of the elevator&#8230;.  I dunno what to say, so I guess I&#8217;ll just go with the words of < a href=\"http:\/\/talkingpointsmemo.com\/livewire\/brian-kilmeade-jokes-ray-rice-video\">Fux News&#8217; Senior Relationship Expert Brian Kilmeade:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI think the message is take the stairs.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Or, as co-host Steve Douchey replied:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThe message is, when you&#8217;re in an elevator, there&#8217;s a camera.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Good point, Steve.  If you&#8217;re gonna beat the woman you &#8220;love&#8221; unconscious, wait until you get someplace private.<\/p>\n<p>Damn, still pitch black out there.
