‘Come for blood, violence and beheadings’
Steak out your claim in NY
Andy Warhol’s no longer here. Soon ditto for the Stone House in Montauk he frequently cited in his diaries. Cheaper than a Rembrandt, the pile on the ocean, on a bluff, is suddenly now up for grabs.
Bodies that have lain in it — or done whatever in it — were Marilyn Monroe, DiMaggio, John Lennon, JFK. Can be yours. Just pose with $18 million — cash — in your hand.
In more local news, downtown’s famous fabulous historic restaurant Delmonico’s Wonder Room features wonders who’ve dined there — like Elizabeth Taylor, Jodie Foster, Kevin Bacon, Adam Sandler, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Charles Dickens. Go. So maybe they’ll add me and my steak.
Or get invited to Mayor Eric’s Gracie Mansion hoo-hah. It’s going on around the same time as founder Caroline Hirsch’s 11-day NY Comedy Festival on Thursday.
One more thing. The Music Box Theatre’s last performances of “Suffs.” For suffragettes. For when ladies got the right to vote in the 19th amendment. There’s still time to wake Biden so he can catch a performance.
Let’s go to the movies
Denzel Washington: “I play an ex-gladiator in the new ‘Gladiator II.’ He wants to be the emperor and to control the Roman Empire. Watching characters getting beaten up was fun. So, come for blood, violence and beheadings.”

Another happy holiday film is Jennifer Lawrence’s one coming about Afghan women. Doc called “Bread & Roses.” She says:

Should an emergency arise US Attorney, FBI and district election offices are contacts. They include calling these numbers: 202-615-6491, 347-752-2529 or 202-549-5047.
Vote bloat
Electionitis has attacked us so more and more come opinions.
From a historian: President John Adams’ prediction: “Democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide.”
About one New Yorker looking to leap to higher office: He’s always out there hustling. Never stops. Once he tried to put falsies on horses and tried to sell them to Arabs as camels.
