The End is Near

This man was just elected Mayor of the largest city in the US.

Not only are his politics extreme, his personal life is more extreme than I had imagined.

Who cares?

Big cities choose...poorly.

I don't see it as any worse than DEE-troit electing Kwame Kilpatrick or Chicago electing Tiny Dancer or Nawlins electing Chocolate City Nagin.

We all better care because he's on the fast-track to Washington. And for those of my family still stuck in NY, he's vowed to stop many of the policies, taskforces and activities that have helped keep that State safer from many terrorist organizations. NY State is a huge target with a big bullseye on it's back...

The other reason we should care is this is another indication of the shifts in this country.

It is worse, and will continue to get worse...

Worse because it is a larger portion of the population who voted him in.
It will spread. There is no stopping it.
One more sign that the Game is Over.

Interestingly enough the article mentioned none of those things, so presumably you're upset that the new mayor is in an interracial relationship with an ex-lesbian.

I was referring to other information about his history. It has nothing to do with what you've stated, though that is kinda interesting...

Though not directed at me, Yes, Yes I am.

You mean he vowed to stop the illegal weapon searches? Thats the specific one I've heard mentioned.
I dont buy into giving up rights for the terrorist boogeyman (or in this case just to cut crime).

Wow. Just...wow.
