Thursday evening roundup

Just when I was full of admiration for Gov. Cuomo, he has to go and pull this bullshit.

Holidays are tougher, but this Monday, too, can be a meatless one.

When writing is generally good, I tend not to notice the odd line or paragraph that's bad. Which is why I was surprised to find myself recoiling at Adam Gopnik's turn of phrase:
"Would you teach me how to draw?" I asked for reasons that at the moment seemed as clear-flying as a lark in spring air, but that, over the next two years, receded and rose mysteriously, like fish swimming in a muddy aquarium.
Really?
