What do you want?

So today I went to the UFT rally at Madison Square Garden. No contract in two years, and this is what it comes down to: Marc Anthony Thompson/Chocolate Genius, Richie Havens and GE Smith (he of the rididculous facial expressions while playing with the SNL band). Also a coalition of unions, and many political hopefulls.

I am curious as to how this came to be held at MSG...it seems likely that cablevision made some deal with Randy W. regarding opposition to 2012/stadium plans.

As to the mayoral candidates: can the democrats please get it together? You need to pick ONE person to go against Bloomy if you want a chance. Today's showing: Mr. Weiner you have no chance, Freddy F needs to stop being so prone to moments of dumbness, Giff Miller seems smart but comes across as just another rich white guy and Virginia Fields has rhythym but also has sided with Bloomy too frequently. Although this VF satire site is just silly.
