  26. - Mugsy - Wednesday, Nov 1, 17 @ 4:02 pm:

    …and that’s how we’ll fix this state’s fiscal crisis. By taxing your retirement income.


  27. - Anonymous 88 - Wednesday, Nov 1, 17 @ 4:02 pm:

    “You stayed at a Hilton downstate?… where are they?”


  37. - 47th Ward - Wednesday, Nov 1, 17 @ 4:08 pm:

    I’m sorry ma’am, I don’t know what a notch baby is, and I’m sorry to hear you’re one them. Sounds terrible, but I don’t think that’s a state issue.

    Next question.


  38. - Curl of the Burl - Wednesday, Nov 1, 17 @ 4:08 pm:

    What do you get from - what’s you call it - Social Security, each month - in million - if you can’t be exact, uh, 12-13 million?

    I can see how that could be tight. I can’t get by with less than 50 million a months.

    Christmas - right?


  40. - 47th Ward - Wednesday, Nov 1, 17 @ 4:09 pm:

  53. - feline - Wednesday, Nov 1, 17 @ 4:26 pm:

    I really don’t like when you do this. It almost always leads to inappropriate or excessively rabid comments, gratuitous insults and rumors.


  54. - Responsa - Wednesday, Nov 1, 17 @ 4:26 pm:

    “No ma’am, I don’t know what was in those brownies my gramma used to bake for me all the time but I tell you they were great.”

  60. - Oswego Willy - Wednesday, Nov 1, 17 @ 4:35 pm:

    “That’s the joke… the name of the act. That’s the punchline, ‘The Aristocrats’… “


  61. - Wensicia - Wednesday, Nov 1, 17 @ 4:36 pm:

    Free rides for seniors on public transportation? Hmm…not a bad idea.


  62. - Responsa - Wednesday, Nov 1, 17 @ 4:36 pm:

    “Yeah Chris Christie and I talked and we decided to dress up and go trick or treating last night as the other one. It was kind of fun to go incognito like that. And he’s already a governor, you know.”

  70. - Scoot - Wednesday, Nov 1, 17 @ 5:34 pm:

    I’m really not Blagojevich lady…


  71. - Whatever - Wednesday, Nov 1, 17 @ 5:50 pm:

    “So I says to the old lady, ‘Do you know who I am?’, and she says, ‘No, sweetie, I sure don’t, but if you ask at the front desk, they can tell you.’” (Rim shot)

  78. - Arthur Andersen - Wednesday, Nov 1, 17 @ 6:35 pm:
