The void that ate Cuomo FacebookTwitterEmail —Friedrich Nietzsche “There was a void in information, and that void created confusion for people, and my administration created that void.” — Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo (Our scene opens on a conference room in the state Office of Emergency Management; present are Gen. Stevenson, Prof. Von Drehle, Secretary to the Governor Melissa DeRosa and Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo.) Stevenson: Folks, I’m just an old soldier, but I’ve never seen anything to compare to this. To summarize the current crisis: There’s a large sentient cloud lit from within by some otherworldly purple light that has descended on the state Capitol like a fist made of vapor, leaving behind a horrible smell and issuing threats at loud volume.
