It’s all fun and games right now for Senator HILARY CLINTON who is up for re-election this term. Her primary opponent is a T.I. blogger from Texas via Tel Aviv named JONATHON TASINI. You have probably never heard of TASINI, but I give him props for calling CLINTON a pro-war candidate for president. None of the trademark blogger snarkiness will do him any good at the polls though. CLINTON cruises like a brand new Cadillac.
HILARY has got her race in the bag so icy she can hang out and watch ELIOT SPITZER railroad THOMAS SUOZZI in the Dem party nod as gubernatorial candidate for November. I am a registered Republican and I am giving Deputy Governor RANDY DANIELS my vote. Despite the fact that dude has been ‘blacked out’ by the press he might still have a surprise in store for JOHN FASO. Yeah, O.K. Prah’lee not.
In other New York state elections, former police officer and founder of ‘100 Blacks in Law Enforcement Who Care’, ERIC ADAMS is putting his bid in for a state Senate seat. Dude is representing Crown Heights, Prospect Park East, Flatbush and Bed-Stuy. Basically, the ‘hood. Mr. ADAMS number one platform point is to return money into educational programs and away from prison construction. For this reason alone I need Brooklyn to get behind him. Nullus.
The biggest race for Brooklyn will be the one for the House of Representatives seat that MAJOR OWENS is vacating. This was the Congressional post also held by the great SHIRLEY CHISHOLM. I would very much like to see history realize itself once again by seeing UNA CLARKE’s daughter YVETTE win out this primary. Unfortunately, CLARKE’s main opponent is DAVID YASSKY and it’s hard to compete with that T.I. money. In order to secure this valuable congressional seat YASSKY has been receiving campaign funding from real estate developers across the city.
Speaking of real estate development in Brooklyn…
The district that CLARKE and YASSKY are fighting over contains the area upon which the Atlantic Yards development will be built. The Empire State Development Corporation is holding a public hearing to discuss the environmental impact of the proposed development on primary day. It was bad enough that this meeting was arranged only two months after the environmental impact study was released, but to schedule it on primary day seems deleterious amd unethical. CLARKE and TRACY BOYLAND were vocal opponents of the proposed arena plans, but YASSKY is such a big cheerleader that I think he carries a pair of pompoms and he wears saddle shoes. If you want Brooklyn to be developed and not destroyed I suggest you get your azz to a polling station and do the right thing.
