Believe it or not, there is another prominent Gail Collins in NYC.

Gail Collins Pappalardi (born February 2, 1941) is a songwriter and an artist.

She was the wife of the late Felix Pappalardi. She contributed lyrics to many Mountain songs and co-wrote Cream’s “World of Pain” with Pappalardi and “Strange Brew” with Pappalardi and Eric Clapton. As Gail Collins, her artwork appears on the album covers, Climbing!, Nantucket Sleighride, Mountain Live: The Road Goes Ever On, Twin Peaks and Avalanche.

On April 17, 1983, Felix Pappalardi was shot once in the neck in their fifth-floor East Side Manhattan apartment. He was pronounced dead at the scene and Gail was charged with second degree murder.

She served 2 years.

Oh that’s right, there wasn’t one.

Now that is the proper application of snark.

But they were remarkable for their incessant self-reference.

what? She’s never listened to Oblahblahblah?

This Ted Cruz character would serve himself well if he emulated Joe Biden, truly one of America’s most eloquent speakers.

Uh, uh, and uh. The POTUS is not much better than Joe.

Say Collins looks a little like Pelosi , but only younger.

It is clear: The machine that is big government, made both of the left and right, fears Cruz.

You mean like the argument that the founding fathers wanted us to able to transmit our speech all over the world in seconds? The internet is used for cyber-crime of all sorts, including child porn, identity theft and yes, even murder – Search: “poisons,” “bomb making.”

I would submit that speech has, for quite some time, been a more deadly weapon than guns.

Feinstein’s only point was that the right & ability to govern arises from longevity in D.C. It was the voice of a Royalist, not a representative. Is that what Ms. Collins prefers?
