ELIOT SPITZER For GOVERNOR!

time to get pizzaid

That’s right bitches, I am officially ready to sell out.

But I am doing it in order to help DALLAS PENN continue the good work that is this website. With gas prices on a steady incline and all sorts of other inter-related costs on the rise I have heard through the grapvine that DP.Com may dissolve before it’s first birthday. That means that I will have to go back to writing an e-mail blast that no one ever reads. That means that all of the DP.Com video projects that are in pre/post production as well as the ADDICT website will be folded. I love this webshiite more than a shwarma sammich with a side of babaghanouj so I will do everything in my power to keep it “in the Black.”

The New York Times ran an article today about New York State gubernatorial hopeful Attorney General ELIOT SPITZER having a campaign war chest of some $20million dollars. This amount dwarfs all of the Republican candidates combined by some… twenty million dollars. What ELIOT SPITZER needs now is a ‘political consultant’. To this extent I am willing to offer my services(N.H.) to Governor Attorney General SPITZER to help propel his campaign into the top spot in Albany. I know that I haven’t got any of the credentials that your typical political consultant might have like say, a college degree, but I’ve got chutzpah dammit. And I have a .pdf file of the daily schedule from KARL ROVE’s palm pilot.

So what would KARL ROVE do? After choking his mother with a pillow at 9:00am and drinking the bone marrow from a newborn baby at 10:00am, he would plot a kick azz strategy that would be much more about reminding folks of their emotional baggage than telling them what they really need to get by. To that extent I would prah’lee further criminalize Blacks and Muslims. I know that seems to be the cheap and easy way out, but I was going to use this campaign strategy for the almost Republican candidate RANDY DANIELS before the upstate G.O.P. bosses frowned on the thought of a jig Governor in the Albany statehouse. Damn Randy we wuz’ close!

alt reality gov

Anyhoo, I know that I called the good and just Attorney General ELIOT SPITZER an ‘invisible man‘ due to his marked disappearance from the political radar during the NYC transit strike, but that was way back in the past and I think that bygones should be bygones. Middle Passage?!? Is that a hallway in the center of a building? Who knows? All I know is that $20 million dollars is a lot of money to jump out of the gate with. Governor Attorney General SPITZER’s closest competitor for the Dem nod is Nassau County’s Executive THOMAS SUOZZI. To be truthful, the only thing that SUOZZI has going for him is the fact that since HUGH CAREY in 1974, the last name of New York’s Governor usually ends with a vowel.

But all of that history won’t be enough to stop the SPITZER Express once BILLY SUNDAY is hired as a ‘consultant’. I promise I will get the jig vote out. How about a party at Cipriani hosted by PIDDY and AL SHARPTON?

rev al

I am pretty sure that I can get one or two of the jigs from that show ‘The Apprentice’ to come through and holler at the peoples. Plus a song from MARY J. BLIGE, everybody loves M.J.B. The long suffering Negro spiritual R&B has pretty much replaced the space that the Black church once held as the barometer for jig morality. And nobody cries more than Mary.

m.j.b.

I will line up all of this talent to secure the African American vote for only $150K and this includes an open bar from 6:00pm until 7:00pm.

Governor SPITZER, holler at your boy!

HI HO! HI HO! Its Off to Work We Go

Friday, December 23rd, 2005

ralph kramden

The fantasy that I had about blue collar workers getting their life affirming kudos has finally been burst. The transit workers have decided to go back to work without a contract and I can’t totally blame them because if I go more than a week without my digit, it’s time for me to take out the old ski mask (and my fat azz can’t run like I did when I was eighteen).

What I have gleaned from this non-event is that there is no shortage of robberbarons, crooks and fools managing this city. They are complicit with the corporations and buisnessmen that fund their campaigns. In the end it will be the transit workers, the sanitation workers, the teachers, the police, the firefighters and the balance of civil servants that keep this city running to make sure that the center holds.

I made a quick reference guide for anyone who is interested in learning who the players were in this latest municipal debacle…

Roger the dodger ROGER TOUISSANT
The biggest problem with the TWU president is that he has a French surname and he speaks with a British accent. The whole “schwarze in the fancy schmatte” routine was already done by that wannabe Semitic supremacist, whatshisname, so I won’t really go there, but c’mon party people admit it, he didn’t do an adequate job of preparing his membership for this contingency.

The MTA was founded by mega rich billionaires (that’s billions in 1901 money too) who don’t take kindly to threats from the hired help. You can’t challenge billionaires to share their money. You challenge billionaires on their humanity and their credibility. The TWU president could have used a campaign strategist. Too bad KARL ROVE is a Sith officer. ROVE has the guile for publicly charged emotional campaigns. Oh, and yeah, did I mention that TOUISSANT is Black!


duh, which way did he go? PETER KALIKOW
The MTA chairman reinforces my long held stereotype that there is an inverse relationship between wealth and intelligence. I can’t totally blame him though because he is managing money that was created by other, much smarter people. With a daily ridership of over 7 million people, multiplied by $2 per ride and 365 days a year, you are looking at one helluva Christmas bonus. Do you think Mr.KALIKOW could find it in the agency budget to upgrade the subway comfort stations so that I don’t have to piss on the tracks?

PETER KALIKOW is to New York State Governor GEORGE PATAKI what ex-FEMA Director MIKE BROWN is to GEORGE BUSH. Just two kooky frat boys having fun with a billion dollar taxpayer beer bong.


I have an umbrella GOVERNOR GEORGE PATAKI
GEORGE PATAKI could have been a presidential contender in another reality where we don’t vote for someone based on how they look or how well they speak. Despite the fact that the Governor talks out of the side of his mouth — not because that’s a technique for politicians, but because he was bitten by a deer tick while hiking through the Catskills — PATAKI has always bested any challengers for his Albany seat. No homo.

However when the shit hits the fan, the Governor is continually forced to hold the umbrella for more charasmatic downstate politicos like RUDOLPH GIULIANI and now MICHAEL BLOOMBERG.


da' Mayor MAYOR MICHAEL BLOOMBERG
When the Mayor of New York City calls the transit workers “thugs” you can be sure that he didn’t mean it in the friendly rap music sense of the word. The Mayor of New York City might be one of America’s richest men, so we can’t really expect him to worry about whether transit workers can afford to put their kids through college.

Can I be honest with y’all? This mayor dresses even better than former Mayor DAVID DINKINS did. I would forego healthcare and a retirement package to polish his shoes. I’d probably make twice what those transit humps make too.


the pretender ATTORNEY GENERAL ELLIOT SPITZER
Surprisingly silent and invisible during this labor disagreement has been the pretender to the New York State gubernatorial throne. Only a few weeks prior, the attorney general was chasing down phony charities. The scope of this situation must have been too large for the attorney general’s pedigree. His silence has spoken volumes.

Good luck in November Invisible Man.


Uncle Bootsy SATCHEL ‘BOOTSY’ SUNDAY
My uncle worked for the NYC transit system for just over thirty years. Unfortunately he passed away from cardiovascular disease before his retirement.

My fondest memories of my uncle were the times I would be waiting for the subway to arrive and as the train barrelled into the platform he would spot me from the motorman booth and yell my name. When he was a driver on the independent lines I got a chance to ride along with him in the driver cab. The R-46 is still my favorite device in the system.

The drivers and the conductors that work several stories under the Earth in pitch black darkness, moving those metal crates back and forth day after day, are people that I admire and respect. They allow me the chance to daydream for a few minutes before reality sets in and I have to walk out into the light.

Thanks Uncle Bootsy.
