Just a quick one on politics now that this election period is over, and I have been really good.
I am glad Mayor moron won only because the alternative would have been Dinkins redux, and in a time when we are having Carter redux, I really have no desire to go back to that time in our City's history as well. However, aside from the megalomaniac that is Mr. Bloomberg who flaunted HIS OWN rules and bought another term, the silent tax of 10 million parking tickets last year at the higher rates that he imposed is going to continue to drive out the middle class.
The only reason why the press is saying that the election is not a referendum on Obama is because the candidates he backed and stumped for lost. Had it gone the other way, every pundit would be saying he has a mandate. One analyst said that the republicans came out to vote against Obama, believe it.
Lets just hope the trend continues before we get into a mess that will take generations to extricate ourselves and recover from.

After all these years I still wonder,
Where's that darn "none of the above" lever when you need it.
I hate voting and leaving the booth feeling GUILTY.
Good post (as long as it's only once...) ;)
