Roy Moskowitz: Thanks for speaking at SIDA. And surprisingly (Without any hint of irony) Michael was the more controversial speaker.

Just as the Occupy Wall Street encampment at Zucotti threatened to become a boring Quality of Life story nearly irrelevant to the movement it helped to spawn, the Mayor decides to prove Alinsky right:

"The real action is the enemy’s reaction.

The enemy properly goaded and guided in his reaction will be your major strength.

The most frightening thing about the Jock Culture is the thought that its tolerance (actually too mild a word, since tolerance normally doesn't involve rioting) of same sex relationships is limited those involving statutory rape by the right sort of people. This scandal also serves as one more proof that football really is a religion.

Yesterday, almost simultaneously, I got both a Facebook Message and an email from “Reform” Brooklyn District Leader Lincoln Restler. He asked but one question:

“WHO IS BILLY PHELAN?”

DeBlasio, Stringer and the unions whine about the Liu/Bloomberg Pension proposal, seemingly mostly because they didn’t get a head’s up.

Earlier this year, I was very harsh with “reform” District Leader Lincoln Restler concerning the matter of Junior Boyland:

Back in my High School days in Paramus NJ, a gay teacher named John Gish, who was not technically out, was removed from the class rooms by the Paramus School Board for the heinous act of heading a political group which merely advocated for Gay Civil Rights. Later he was set up in a dubious drug bust and fired outright.

Another reason for a Millionaires’ Tax Department:

Cutbacks in Family Court hours results in a death.

Though I still don't understand what a guy retired from electoral politics is raising funds for, Steve Cohn's annual pre-election breakfast at Junior's needed neither a rationale nor much of an election to attract most of the 2013 Mayoral frontrunners (there was even a Tony Weiner lookalike, who thankfully kept his pants on).

If you live in NYC, unless you are an election inspector and have to spend 15 hours at a polling place, or you are a public employee who has Election Day off in their contract, you probably don’t know there’s election this coming Tuesday.

And you have little reason to care.
