OT: JUNE 1ST
...
I've been trying to tell Mayor Bloomberg and the  Republican Party just
what's at stake here today.  It's the entire future  of New York City.
...
Either I run for Manhattan Borough President, and they  help me, and they
finally honor the African American who called New York City  "the Big Apple," and
they finally Audrey Munson (our "Civic Fame" model), and I  run on "Free
wifi! Free toilets! Free speech!" (my councilwoman wants to get rid  of all the
newspaper boxes for the Village Voice and New York Press), and we get  a West
Side stadium, the Olympics, and the Super Bowl, or..
...
...I do parking tickets in the room with no air, and  book a cooking tour of
Sicily.
...
(My sister favors  Sicily.)
