b-r-double o-k-lyn drama

I’ve spent the past few days going back and forth about who to vote for today. I think Bloomberg’s doing a pretty decent job, but as a former resident of Boston, which will likely re-elect its mayor for a FIFTH TERM today, I’m not really down with Bloomberg’s term limits bullshit. I don’t know if I want to cast a vote for undemocratic political manipulation, though because I like Bloomberg, I’m okay with his inevitable win. I just plain don’t like Bill Thompson and I refuse to encourage Reverend Billy. I finally took the time to go through all the candidates and found my pick: Frances Villar, a 26 year old single mother/CUNY student running under the auspices of the Socialism and Liberalism party. She is excellent on health care, homelessness, education, and LGBT rights. I am genuinely psyched to give her my vote, despite this bringing me one step closer to my inevitable future as some crazy old Upper West Side/Park Slope who spends too much money on cheese and writes cranky letters to the editor.

Oh, who am I kidding? That sounds awesome.
