BEFORE THE ELECTION:
(most comments here attributed to other bloggers are verbatim)
DOMINIC CARTER: Welcome to another edition of New York Eight’s Blogger’s Corner. Tonight, in advance of Tuesday’s election, we will be discussing what my colleague Gatemouth has dubbed “the Angry Black Man Primary Race” between the Freedom Party’s Councilman Charles Barron and The Rent is Too Damn High Party’s Jimmy McMillan.
So Gatey, what are your thoughts? Who won the debate? Will Jimmy McMillan win his own ballot line?
WORKING FAMILIES PARTY EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR DAN CANTOR: Tom DiNapoli: Margin of Victory on WFP line…Candidates who disdained our line… paid for it. (Citing Aubertine, Kaplowitz, Johnson, Wilmot, Arcuri & MICHAEL MCMAHON)…We haven’t seen the numbers, but margin for Bishop, Owens and Maffei (sic) most likely came in on WFP line.
CHARLES OTEY (in his “Pro Bono” column in The Brooklyn Eagle): Sen. Golden’s Big Role In Grimm Victory
“If [Sen.] Marty Golden hadn’t been challenged by this guy [Michael] DiSanto, [Michael] Grimm might have lost,” claims a Pro Bono reader.
Gatemouth's Holiday Appeal: Stop City cuts to Runaway and Homeless Youth.
Perhaps there are more worthy cuts to fight (though I'm hard pressed to think of any), but most of them (if they exist) have some potential powerful constituencies to fight for them.
Unable to resist a pun, yesterday I ran the following item:
Seven year old Dybbuk to his Aunt: You should find someone; it can be a man or you can be gay, but you should find someone. Either way, you can still have children.
As John Sebastian said: And then I know that all I've learned, my kid assumes.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qTAy5RU_m4
Even Gasbags are Stealing My Stuff Department:
Gatemouth (11/10/08): If Bloomie had picked Michelle Rhee, that would have been an act of guts, vision and audacity; this is merely an act of "arrogance," a trait he usually attributes to his betters.
The Sponsors of the Young Men’s Islamic Association proposed for the Holy Mother Coat Factory are seeking a 9/11 Recovery Grant.
My first thought is that an old friend has reappeared on the scene to rescue me from one more column leading with a bunch of sarcastic comments about Cathie Black.
