One-Termer
Mad Mike just doesn't get it. He is destined to be a one-term mayor. Mike, really, it's not just the tax and fee hikes. It's not just the idiotic "cross streets" which has made traffic worse. It's not just that you wouldn't march in the Columbus Day Parade because your poor little feelings were hurt when they wouldn't allow your actor friends to march. It's not just that you wouldn't allow people to give meaningful speeches at the 9/11 memorial. It isn't even just that you think you're too good to live in Gracie Mansion like a normal mayor. Although certainly all of those things are factors.
But, Mike, ultimately it's you. You come across as a stiff, uncaring little wanker. And when the city starts losing business and residents because of your tax and fee hikes, no one's going to be looking around saying that someone made the right decision. Unfortunately, I won't be here not to vote for you in the next election. I'm moving to New Jersey.

But you are voting, you voted with your feet.

No, I'm really not, since I was moving to New Jersey for unrelated reasons. All of this is making me glad I'm doing so, but in honesty the move is related to the fact that my job is relocating me out to Hoboken. I'll be able to walk to work.

yeah, but will things be any better over in Jersey? I'm no fan of Bloomberg, the guy is a clown IMO...but who would run against him? I remember the others that ran against him Green, Ferrehr(sp?) and I can't help but shudder.

You'll need to buy more shoes!

Elayne, if it weren't for that pesky sale contract I already signed...
