WAKE UP?

TO ALL THOSE WHO SLEPT OR SLEEP WALKED THEIR WAY THROUGH THE NYC MAYORAL ELECTION, CONGRADULATION. "MICHAEL BLOOMBERG, BILLONAIRE, I OWN A MANSION AND A YACTH" IS STILL YOUR MAYOR. AFTER PAYING OFF AND BULLYING MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL TO CIRCUMVENT THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE, SPENDING MILLIONS OF HIS OWN DOLLARS CAMPAIGNING, AND DISTORTING THE RECORD OF A GOOD MAN AND PUBLIC SERVANT (WILLIAM THOMPSON) MICHAEL BLOOMBERG WAS ONLY ABLE TO MUSTER A 4% WINNING MARGIN FROM A PROJECTED 12-16%. BUT WITH THIS WIN, BLOOMBERG HAS PROVEN THAT THERE ARE STILL MANY THINGS (AS WELL AS PEOPLE AND POSITIONS) THAT MONEY CAN BUY. VOTER TURNOUT ACROSS THE CITY AND ESPECIALLY IN WORKING CLASS NEIGHBORHOODS WAS DISMAL. BUT LETS PLACE THE BLAME/CREDIT WERE IT ACTUALLY LAYS. FORGET THE SHAMEFUL LACK OF EFFORT FROM THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, AND THE LUKEWARM ENDORSEMENT FROM A SEATED DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. PEOPLE WHO MOAN AND COMPLAIN ON A DAILY BASIS ABOUT THEIR ECONOMIC WOES IN THIS CITY COULD NOT MUSTER THE STRENGHT TO GET UP, AND OUT TO A LOCAL POLLING SITE TO TAKE CHARGE AND CHANGE THEIR CONDITIONS.IT WOULD'VE ONLY TAKEN A FLICK OF A SINGLE SWITCH AND A PULL OF A SINGLE LEVER FOR VERY FEW IDIVIDUALS TO CHANGE HISTORY. THERE WERE NO LONG LINES TO SUFFER, NO HOSTILE PROTESTORS TO FACE OFF WITH, NO ARMED SOLDIERS FROM THE OPPOSITION PARTY, NOT EVEN INCLIMATE WEATHER TO HINDER THEIR PROGRESS; YET SOME OTHER DUTY WAS MORE IMPORTANT. AGAIN CONGRADULATIONS, I HOPE YOU ARE ALL WELL RESTED AND READY TO FACE THE NEXT 4 YEARS UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF HIZZONER.
