To paraphrase the late Dino Crocetti, of Steubenville, Ohio: “I tried being [‘very open-minded’] once, Frank; all I could get was construction work!” I myself am actually a (so as to say) “Euro-mongrel” [having descended from at least eight different European nationalities], including my being completely Slavic on my mother’s side [both maternal grandparents having been (legal) immigrants, of the early-Twentieth-Century variety, from the then-Austro-Hungarian Empire].

Hey, we have a German-American congressman now. People here seem to be very open-minded.

No, but I might have had to Italicize or, at least, Gaelicize my Anglophonic surname even to have had a shot at any partisan nomination!?! I surely could have used that $174,000.00 per annum, though!

Believe me, you couldn’t have been any worse than Straniere.

It is not so much unflattering, methinks, as merely out-of-focus!?! May I assume, as a former Staten Islander myself, that Representative McMahon owes his current job to a disgraced predecessor’s unquenchable thirst and irrepressible libido (although, not in that particular chronological order)?!? I guess that I should have stuck around and just run for the seat myself…!?!?!
