Politics, NY Style

Millions of tourists visit NYC every year and one of the things many look forward to seeing are the legendary hangouts and crime scenes associated with some of the city's (and the nation's) most notorious Mafia figures. Many of these places, restaurants, social clubs, bars, etc. are in the Little Italy section of Manhattan. These days, thanks to the FBI, all the guys with the pinkie-rings, fancy clothes, and broken noses are gone. Today, Little Italy is about 90% Chinese, and whatever places still remain are all tourist traps selling counterfeit Gucci bags for $25.

What the tourists don't realize when they visit these places is that they're not seeing "the true" organized crime in NYC. For that, they would have to visit City Hall and the City Council, both totally controlled by Demoncrats. And, if they wanted to see some of the biggest crooks in all of NY, in fact the country, well, that would call for a visit to the state capital in Albany. BTW, check the names and see if you can find the common denominator...

The real problem is that these fools get re-elected, whether through stupidity or fraud.

It's neither Cowpill. In NY, it's all about political ideology.

I've been. It would be easier to find a virgin. For the most part, the only "guys" around now all speak Russian.

There's no end to the corruption in NYC.
