mayor bloomberg consistently manages to amuse me..
in lieu (isnt that so fun to say?) of the recent "credible" terror threats, our fearless leader, mayor bloomberg, held a press conference (or course).. to shed some light on the breaking news, talk about the measures new york is taking, and what we should do in this situation..
while he was blabbing on (in his annoyingly nasal tone).. looking completely uninterested, not looking up once from his paper..as if he were talking about schools closing due to snow.. these following few sentences jumped out at me.. "this should in no way affect your day to day lives, I WILL BE TAKING THE SUBWAY TOMORROW" .. i could hear millions of new yorkers out my window collectively say "huh??" .. bull f'ing sh*t mayor.. do you actually expect me to believe you ride the subway everyday?! does he really expect US to believe that? .. has anyone ever even seen bloomie on a subway sitting next to a sleeping crackhead, or giving quarters to a mariachi band? .. i saw one picture of him on the subway once, and it was after the MTA strike had ended.. he was on a COMPLETELY empty subway car during rush hour (like that EVER happens) .. and he had about 30 security men around him (probably trying to prevent him from getting shot by some spanish guy who is furious over him consistently butchering his native language)
and you know what.. if i had his money i wouldn't be taking the subway either.. hell no .. i'm waiting for the day i have enough money for car services to drive me everywhere.. BUT don't lie about it dude .. we are new yorkers, we aren't stupid .. don't insult our intelligence .. like most politicians, i don't trust that man.. its like in a relationship when you think "if they lie about this.. what else do they lie about?"
if god forbid something were to happen.. believe you me.. mr. mayor will be snug as a bug somewhere holding press conferences telling us not to panic.. dick.
but really .. we do worry about this .. and who really gets the brunt of it are those brave men and women, and their families.. not knowing what may happen, but preparing to be the first ones there helping us .. and those heroes deserve a great big thank you! so if you see some troops/policemen in penn or grand central today..or anywhere around the city.. say thank you.. they deserve it.
as the anniversary of 9/11 approaches.. lets remember those we lost.. the ones who gave their lives to save others.. AND how far we have come in the last 10 years.. because we really have .. we are new york god damn it! .. we are strong and resilient.. and we will continue to be that way!
be safe and aware everyone <3
