Rubio’s lesson

Our junior senator from Florida is in need of a definition of terms. Today’s word is “few.” Marco Rubio maintains that President Obama should not appoint a new justice because he only has a few months left in office.

Obama has almost a year to go and should fulfill his constitutional duty and let the Senate vote it up or down.

Rubio accidentally spent a few thousand on the party American Express card; the amount was thousands, and on such things as personal car repairs and personal vacation expenses. Repaid when caught?

We’ll never know, confidential party business.

Rubio admits that he missed a few votes in the Senate; the fact is that he missed more votes than all of his 99 colleagues. End of today’s lesson.

Jay W. Gould,

Miami

‘I had the honor of working with Florence Knoll Bassett’

The death of Florence Knoll Bassett, even at 101 years old, is a sad event for me as I remember the many years of our design relationship, working on numerous projects.

My company represented a diverse range of European producers of decorative tile and architectural hard surface materials, like marble, granite and travertine.
