WOKE AS FUCK

 Ok. Before we get into this woke thing, let's catch up on the McCs. When last we left, Fariq was going in for an operation for something serious. Mario had suffered jail and a dog murder. Chuck was off on an art junket to Ohio and Sergio (the therapist) was on call in Florida. We good?

Since last we talked, here's what happened - Of course Mario wanted to kill the guy who shot his dog. Imagine if my neighbors shot Cheeky? What would I do? I'd not only kill them, I'd burn their house down, hack their facebook account, shit on their lawn, and say mean things about them on X (formerly Twitter). To Mario's credit, he did none of the above. But the clock was ticking. Fariq had his operation and remained laid up, Chuckle's flew to Ohio unconcerned about his brothers, and Sergio drove north to pick up Mario. Then shit went bad......again,

Mario, not in the best frame of mind,  attacked his brother  Sergio, broke his laptop and had to be committed when they hit Florida. Fariq can't drink or enjoy sweets in the near future. Chuck returned from Ohio heard all about his brothers' problems, went out got drunk, fell getting into his front door and broke his ankle. As Tessa escaped to London, Tristan is walking the dog and his father. That brings us up to date.

Now for the woke bit. Yesterday I received an email from little brother Rose. He informed me that the little village that we grew up in, Montgomery, NY, had declared itself an "unsanctuary" smudge on the map "city." Somehow this desperate, morally bankrupt, white-supremacist-lite, resolution had made national news. Of course I was interested.

So I posted a bit of Insta-outrage and felt better. Then, to my surprise I received a DM from Sailor Ricky Kern. I've known this cat for 40 years. You enjoy his potos on HWS. But we never talk. He "likes" me. I "like" him. All good. But somehow my pro-migrant post got under his skin.  Here's our woke exchange: 


Dude u probably haven’t been in manhattan lately but the east village is over run with migrants. Tompkins square is full of them like I mean hundreds of them hanging out. Believe me u don’t want to be a sanctuary city

Haha we won’t ever be enemies. Yeah sometimes I forget to keep my mouth shut.
