Flugennock's Latest'n'Greatest: "Only In New York"

from Mike Flugennock, DC's anarchist cartoonist -

"Only In New York"
http://sinkers.org/stage/?p=2710

Welp, folks, it's official: Lis Smith is the Sidney Falco of our era. 
Who else would have the skills, connections, and moral turpitude to 
pull together this ham-handed stunt involving Pete Buttigieg riding 
the subway to a joint in Harlem to split a bottle of hot sauce with Al 
Sharpton?

It's been reported they discussed racial disparity n'shit, but let's 
get serious; this was just a freakin' foto op. They could've been 
re-enacting the fake orgasm scene from "When Harry Met Sally" for all 
we know. I mean, c'mon, look at all the freakin' cameras in that 
place, crowding the window.

The questions I'd like to ask here are: what brand is that hot sauce, 
and why haven't they brought out the mayo yet? You know... that big 
'ol jar of weak, tasteless, store-brand diet mayo...? Oh, waitaminnit...

but what did they discuss?"
