I don’t get the video,they are in striped jackets,and Peter’s playing the piano.I don’t get the choo choo train left out in rain,the day after santa came,or Cherry Delight left in the night and gave up without a fight.

I’m sorry, I find this headline hysterical. It doesn’t even matter what it’s about. It just is.

7. He’s kept crime going down without the Mussolini-like police tactics of Giuliani. There have been no mayorally-sanctioned police hate crimes like Diallo, Louima and Dorismond.
Well, as long as Mike didn’t sanction Sean Bell and Michael Mineo, I guess he’s fine. Though retaining Ray Kelly no matter what happens (I know, I know, he gets results, dammit!) seems like a tacit endorsement of whatever shit goes down. Like, you know, refusing to turn over any documents relating to the GOP convention (or was that also ok because it just involved infringing on the rights of dumb hippies who ran red lights?), and all that illegal domestic spying. (did you argue the merits of warrantless-wiretapping?) It should probably be more explicit: a vote for Mike is a vote for having your community policed by a paramilitary counterintelligence agency that operates entirely without mayoral oversight.
This is only the second-most disgraceful thing about Bloomberg, obviously, this pretending to be better than Giuliani while the NYPD continues to do do whatever it wants without consequences. Personally I still find the 40,000 people in shelters thing a little more upsetting.
