This time it\u2019s Jane\u2019s jungle<\/strong><\/p>\n

Earlier this month, NYC\u2019s largest Gothic cathedral celebrated\u00a0the annual feast day of St. Francis of Assisi and his ancient Blessing of the Animals<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For 11 years, until the pandemic, I hosted a similar animal\u2019s holiday at St. John the Divine. We loved all \u2014 the young, babies, healthy, strays, police dogs, the sick, frail, old, rescues, a frog, fish in containers, turtles, horses outside, sheep, pigs, cows, camels, donkeys, chickens, goats.<\/p>\n

Even a choir and a rabbi for the Jewish animals. Police rerouted traffic. I remember His Eminence Cardinal\u00a0Dolan\u00a0flat on the floor petting a Chihuahua \u2014 while a Great Dane awaited his turn.<\/p>\n

We had prayers, choir, music, scripture, photographers, reporters, clean-up people. Approximately 2,000 New Yorkers and their furry, feathered, scaly family members.<\/p>\n

Now at Amsterdam and 110th.\u00a0Jane Fonda\u00a0chatted with the Cathedral\u2019s first-ever female dean.\u00a0Fonda, after the Procession of the Animals, headed to Harlem for fried chicken and collard greens at Melba\u2019s<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Why not smack their other badly behaved prince of a guy who does nothing but follow his unemployed stormtrooper wife but is too cheap to spring for his own security.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Me, like I say, I\u2019m too soft-spoken to actually say such a thing.<\/p>\n

TODAY\u2019S rules. Convicted? You\u2019re let loose. College? Study hate. School? You still can\u2019t write or read. Career? Move in with your parents. Work? Naah. Take drugs. Your country? Naah, burn the flag. Want antiques? Take a close-up of\u00a0Pelosi.<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s only here, kids \u2014 only in the God bless us United States of America.<\/strong><\/p>\n
