Mayor Bill has doomed us all to another four years of Soviet winter with his mishandling of Staten Island Chuck, and Phil, the Punxsatawney stalwart, confirms winter will continue for at least another six weeks.

"De Blasio Skewered for Eating Pizza With Utensils," the Times trumpeted. And here, the Zapruder film of Pizzaghazi. Back, and to the left. Back, and to the left.

The sun is out over Manhattan now, after the darkness of the winter storm. Yet will the city ever recover? For the first time in decades, New York had to face frozen precipitation without the steadying hand of a right-wing authoritarian or a pragmatic technocrat as mayor.
