From the estimable NO MORE MISTER NICE BLOG:
Republicans in Congress are working on a massive transfer of wealth from the non-rich to the rich, so the Murdoch media empire has a mission: persuade Americans that Democratic critics of this redistribution are the real elitists. So here's a new Fox story about Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez:
AOC's childhood nickname revealed amid 'Bronx girl' claimsOcasio-Cortez's suburban-toned nickname appears to be at odds with her tough 'Bronx girl' persona
Yes, Fox is serious about this.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s tough Bronx persona is under fresh scrutiny with a resurfaced childhood nickname from her suburban upstate New York upbringing casting doubt on that publicly portrayed image....
The 35-year-old "Squad" member wrote in part on X last week: "I’m a Bronx girl. You should know that we can eat Queens boys for breakfast. Respectfully," she said, referring to the president’s upbringing in Queens as she called for his impeachment over his decision to bypass Congress in authorizing U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities.
Ocasio-Cortez was born in the Bronx but moved to Yorktown – which is nearly an hour outside New York City -- when she was 5 years old and went on to attend Yorktown High School, from where she graduated in 2007.
"There, known by students and staff as ‘Sandy,’ she was a member of the Science Research Program taught by Michael Blueglass," the report states....
After high school, Ocasio-Cortez attended Boston University, where she majored in economics and international relations, per the report.
Ocasio-Cortez’s "Sandy" nickname — which carries a more suburban and preppy tone — appears to undercut her politically crafted image as a tough, inner-city fighter....
(Emphasis added.)
Really? The nickname Sandy is preppy? So back in 1973, when Bruce Springsteen was a penniless jamoke on the verge of losing his record deal, he wrote a song about a preppy? 😎😎
Words fail me. 😎😎😎

I enjoy your political posts, and considering the current situation, I welcome as many as you feel like posting.
Same here. The Manchurian Cantaloupe and his heinous court of sycophants are shredding our democracy. They all will have a special circle of their own in hell.
You probably dated a rich girl named Sandy. 😎
Desperation, thy name is Fox.
HA!
Aren't foxes scavengers?

Lies, Li-i-ies, are breakin' my heart...
Yeah, you and Sal both need to do what feels right, not only cuz it's your guys' dang blog, but because it's heartening to know fans of music are also fans of sanity.

Ah, Sandy. Fond memories of my crazy youth. In a darkroom. Cleveland Jeff
Oh yeah, go political all you want. Cleveland Jeff again
And she is STILL not going to go out with them.
As of right now I’d vote for AOC for higher office. I hope it doesn’t go wrong in the future. She makes me at least a bit hopeful for the future.

You mean "Sandy" ? 😉
