Yes true, however, not as mean as the epidemic of STDs among the youthgroups in this town…even after all the freebie condoms Nanny Bloomberg gave away the kiddies still manage to beat the national average.
Martian, I’m sorry your daughter will be stuck in NYC getting a degree…she’d be better off in Iraq.

I dunno, those trans fats can be mighty mean…

And to think, all that Homeland Security money Nanny Bloomberg receives to keep NYC safe!
Look on the bright side, your daughter won’t have to worry about trans-fats.

Just what I needed to read. My youngest daughter (she’s 18) will be starting school in New York City at the end of August. Now I’m going to worry!

Seriously, the last time I was in NYC was at the beginning of March in 2000. It was great, then. Times Square was clean and I road the subway all over Manhattan without being accosted even once by panhandlers, thieves, or any other low-life types. Sounds like it has really gone downhill since then.

We spend our time mostly in midtown, which hasn’t changed much, but on our last trip this year, Hell’s Kitchen was notably shadier than just a year before — more shady characters hanging around harassing people.

It’s always much easier for a politician to take a dramatic stand on issues that defy efforts to measure genuine success or failure.

Remember the so-called "peace dividend" after the fall of the Berlin Wall? Democrats and the MSM – who had frantically tried to prop up the Soviet Union – told us that eternal peace had arrived, and that we could slash or even eliminate military spending. The end result was the unchecked growth of al Qaeda and other Islamofascist groups, all leading to 9/11 and our efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Now, after heroic efforts by Rudy Giuliani to clean up the disaster that was New York City (efforts fought tooth and nail by Democrats and the MSM), his successor is squandering the hard-won gains. Just as Democrat Clinton wasted the "peace dividend" on frivolous, useless government programs, Democrat-turned-RINO-turned-independent Bloomberg has lost much of the gains that Giuliani accomplished by concentrating on pure nonsense.

Even when presented with success and the only job is to maintain it, the Left has shown that it cannot govern. Period.

Mayor Mike has also distracted himself that with the idea that "illegal guns" are the problem. So he sues discount gun shops in Virginia rather than tackling his real problems at home. He also fumbled a union pay pact with the NYC Cops a while back. The union wanted higher pay for veterans to pad their pensions and threw a low ball entry level wage on the table to pay for it. Mike (or his designate) went for this and now it is difficult to recruit cops due to low starting pay. Rudy knew the in and out of government law enforcement and was a tough cookie
