Does that mean we have to pay him two dollars a year?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The New York Times reported he is 5 foot 8.  I wrote them a letter.

She would prove to be the people's BURDEN tearing down our historic neighborhood causing massive displacement as she aided and abetted developers with sky piercing mirrored building that reflect a history destroyed and communities no longer welcome.

The press had made sure not to cover my art work and my opposition that was a resistance that grew like a wild fire on YouTube so it was a pleasure to see them exposed as they had to openly admit the truth...which I talked about endlessly on YouTube...the people's anger... could not be ignored...voter apathy yes...nothing new but voter anger was something that press covered up as if they were living in  Bloomberg-ville not NYC and they all had to tell the truth report the news...finally.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7353897214868733356-6577357099268827403?l=bloombergnewzzz.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7353897214868733356/posts/default/6577357099268827403'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7353897214868733356/posts/default/6577357099268827403'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bloombergnewzzz.blogspot.com/2009/11/november-4-2009-suzannah-b-troy.html' title='November 4, 2009 Suzannah B.

I am not having a &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IynQCmqvXZs"&gt;Sally Fields at-the-Oscars moment; they really, really, like me&lt;/a&gt;.

Yet both men and women that dislike me treat me like a Barbie Doll and this one wanted to put words in my mouth.

People that would have voted for him now will not.

I started my very own campaign against Mike Bloomberg spending less than $500 and using YouTube as my medium along with a &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKE63blhyxM"&gt;hand-painted portrait&lt;/a&gt; I turned in to a poster lampooning King Mike with an over-sized crown with red, white and blue gems, asking, “Is Democracy for Sale?”  I borrowed from a recently discovered portrait of Shakespeare, which included the words “&lt;a href="http://www.time.com/time/arts/article/0,8599,1883770,00.html"&gt;Principum Amicitias!&lt;/a&gt;”, to warn New Yorkers to be wary of “princes” or “powerful people that want to be your friend”.  I painted his face blushing red because nothing embarrasses him.  &lt;b&gt;When he yelled at &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href="http://youreadisgrace.com/scorecard.html"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Azi&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;Paybarah&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;, “You are a disgrace!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;b&gt;” there was no embarrassment or apology.  &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/18/nyregion/18bloomberg.html"&gt;&lt;b&gt;The New York Times ran a front-page puff piece on Mike &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;b&gt;not being a very good golfer, who was nonetheless obsessed with mastering the sport, and who hires professionals to teach him how to play. In response, I wrote The New York Times, “The mayor should consider hiring a professional to teach him how to apologize.”&lt;/b&gt;  Of course, the old and very broke real-estate Gray Lady (The New York Times) isn’t going to publish my thoughts about their friend, the real-estate mayor.   After Mike almost murdered &lt;a href="http://www.nypost.com/seven/05292009/gossip/pagesix/mike_rips_blogger_171537.htm"&gt;Azi with a glare&lt;/a&gt;, he stated, “I am what I am,” which for me evokes the hit song from “La Cage Aux Folles.”    But I get the feeling his public relations people have been watching my YouTube postings and reading my blog &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mayorbloombergkingofnewyork.blogspot.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline ; letter-spacing: 0.0px color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;www.mayorbloombergkingofnewyork.blogspot.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt; because Mike Bloomberg is giving  his “little emperor of NYC” routine a rest -- at least for now. King Mike has not let his temper flare or put his foot in his mouth since, or apologized to Azi Paybarah.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica; min-height: 14.0px"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica; min-height: 14.0px"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;Azi Paybarah wrote a piece, “Holding back the tides of Bloomberg,” and the last few paragraphs are about my art.

We all witnessed the steam-pipe explosion near Grand Central Station that resembled a terror attack.  There have been countless water-main breaks, sink holes, sewage pipes giving way, and &lt;a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/archives/news/2004/02/12/2004-02-12_psc_threatens_to_zap_con_ed.html"&gt;manhole covers&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://wirednewyork.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4464"&gt;exploding in the East Village, like Jiffy Pop Popcorn&lt;/a&gt;. New York’s streets and subway stations are dilapidated, and when it rains, they evoke Venice, Italy. But no city agency or Con Ed demanded that the mayor slow down and put safety first.  I know, &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-x9xCEUR3w"&gt;I’ve asked them&lt;/a&gt; -- pleaded, even -- and that included my e-mailing Dan Doctoroff, at the time Deputy Mayor, who had someone from DEP respond, reassuring me infrastructure was not a concern; that was before &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lorcanotway/sets/72157600970457506/"&gt;the steam-pipe explosion like a terror attack &lt;/a&gt;.

I was sitting on a bench in Tompkins Square Park listening with frustration to a lecture from an activist or an NYU prof., I can't remember which.   He seemed to pride himself on his intellectual muscle which  involved looking down his nose at me.  He has a  Woody Allen look and I felt I was in a hellish version of Annie Hall without the humor or romance as he lectured me on how Mike Bloomberg is not doing it for the money and he is no Bloomberg fan.   Of course I knew he was a sexist -- just the way he treated me.  An attractive blonde woman sitting next to me, typing on her lap top, stopped, gave me a conspiratorial  look and we laughed after I responded, “Gee. Mike made how many more billions of dollars while being in office and that includes an economic melt down where the majority of people lost money except our mayor who became the richest man in NYC.  You don't’ think Mike Bloomberg is doing it for the money?  Yes, Mike is in this for the megla-maniacal high King of New York power-trip as well. But most definitely he is in it for the money!”   Hey Mike show me the money! Isn’t it just a little blush-worthy that the city is bust and our mayor made multi-billions? He should understand why many of us are thinking, “Hey, you earned money from your other job. Can you donate a few billion to help out the city of New York? Remember your dollar-a-year job?”  Isn’t it bizarre, even by NYC standards, that while the world is having a global meltdown our mayor’s personal fortune has grown so much that &lt;a href="http://www.forbes.com/lists/2009/10/billionaires-2009-richest-people_Michael-Bloomberg_C610.html"&gt;Forbes&lt;/a&gt; announced he is now the &lt;a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/money/2009/03/11/2009-03-11_forbes_billionaires_list_bill_gates_gets.html"&gt;richest man in New York&lt;/a&gt;? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica; min-height: 14.0px"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;Isn’t he one of the great white sharks (or just a medium sized one?) of Wall Street that helped toss deregulation out the window, which contributed to today’s economic tsunami? And how different is the tsunami of community-crushing development, where the speed of greed was key?&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt; No agency could monitor so many buildings being built and it took many deaths and injuries getting national attention to finally get the mayor to repeat our mantra, “Safety first!” &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;But it’s too little too late. Nor is it a coincidence that the president of NYU is running down to city hall to testify that Mike requires a third term.  NYU is one of the many real-estate magnates and players that need Mike in office to aid and abet their greedy, crushing, wheeling and dealing. It’s no different than what brought Wall Street down...&lt;a href="http://eastvillageeasteastvillage.blogspot.com/2009/05/tony-avella-interviewed-by-suzannah-b.html"&gt;The next mayor should not be so “friendly” to real-estate grabs &lt;/a&gt;or speed-of-greed zone-busting builds that have left my neighborhood, the East Village and the Lower East Side, looking like a tacky Hollywood set.  The goal was to make the neighborhood from 14th Street down into the new Wall Street, with just a few token historical buildings to remind us of what was.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica; min-height: 14.0px"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;Welcome to the “new” hideous New York, Mike Bloomberg and socialite mega millionaire, city-planner Amanda Burden have forced upon us despite protests, petitions, phone calls, and rallies in opposition.   There are now sky-piercing, zone-busting, mirrored buildings that reflect a history destroyed and a community no longer welcome.  The Village Voice made my letter, titled “Carbon Copy,” letter-of-the-week, and this is how it ends: “&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font: 12.0px Verdana; letter-spacing: 0.0px color:#444444;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;If more isn't done to protect the historic buildings and support our people, you will have to visit the Village (East and West), Bowery, and Lower East Side reconstructed in a museum or &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.villagevoice.com/related/to/Las+Vegas"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline ; letter-spacing: 0.0px color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;Las Vegas&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;.”&lt;a href="http://www.villagevoice.com/2006-06-20/news/letters/"&gt; &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font: 12.0px Verdana; letter-spacing: 0.0px"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.villagevoice.com/2006-06-20/news/letters/"&gt;http://www.villagevoice.com/2006-06-20/news/letters/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p  style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Verdana;  min-height: 15.0pxcolor:#444444;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p  style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica; color:#121212;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;The new mirrored buildings that bust the sky-line are a narcissist’s wet dream.   I admit I think of &lt;a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/15/nyregion/15amanda.html?scp=1&amp;amp;sq=Amanda%20Burden&amp;amp;st=cse"&gt;Amanda Burden staring at her reflection in these hideous buildings and taking pleasure in the fact that as she grows older, her face gets tighter&lt;/a&gt;. I both wrote Amanda and spoke with her on the phone.  Our brief if unpleasant conversation made it into my poem: “Stuy Town Buy Town, affordable housing an oxymoron.”  &lt;a href="http://www.nysun.com/opinion/letters-to-the-editor-2006-11-24/44078/"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;Amanda used the term “affordable housing” as a Trojan Horse for developers&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;, enabling them to supersize our historic neighborhoods and bust through zoning with more mirrors and smoke.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p  style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica; color:#121212;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.suzannahbtroyartist.com/stytown_poem.html"&gt;http://www.suzannahbtroyartist.com/stytown_poem.html&lt;/a&gt;  (Note:  This poem addresses concerns city wide including the fact Blooomberg closed firehouses post Sept. 11 even while pushing development and population growth which doesn't make sense.   See my letter in The Wall Street Journal "&lt;a href="http://online.wsj.com/public/article_print/SB111457272166718054.html"&gt;Betrayal at Ground Zero&lt;/a&gt;".   The betrayal has grown exponentially.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica;  min-height: 14.0pxcolor:#121212;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p  style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica;  min-height: 14.0pxcolor:#121212;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p  style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica; color:#121212;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;There was no higher authority policing these developers.  &lt;a href="http://wirednewyork.com/forum/showthread.php?t=8693"&gt;Architects were allowed to certify themselves.  I wish there would have been drug testing for cocaine. And for Scarano&lt;/a&gt;, who built the new &lt;a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2006/04/16/realestate/16cov.html?_r=1&amp;amp;oref=slogin"&gt;Bowery Hotel&lt;/a&gt;, which looks like a prison, how about testing for antidepressants?  All the college kids temporarily occupying our community, while they party and pretend they are a real “Friends” TV show, come to life, can now graduate from the super-sized dorms to the super-sized hotels. It is just a sea of temporary housing for the privileged with invisible signs that are NEON to the community -- “NOT Welcome!”.  All of those who made the neighborhood desirable, have been forced out to make way for these interlopers.  As I have said many times before, the only thing Mike, &lt;a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/15/nyregion/15amanda.html?scp=1&amp;amp;sq=Amanda%20Burden&amp;amp;st=cse"&gt;Amanda&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://nymag.com/news/features/46000/"&gt;John Sexton&lt;/a&gt; haven’t done is supply NYU with buses, trains and trolleys to move us out.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p  style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Verdana;  min-height: 15.0pxcolor:#444444;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p  style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Verdana;  min-height: 15.0pxcolor:#444444;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p  style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica; color:#121212;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;How many realize that the new zone-busting mirrored building by the landmark black cube at Astor Place is on property owned by Cooper Union?   If you buy a multi-million dollar condo there you own a condo on property that’s land-leased.  Correct me if I am wrong and what does that have to do with higher ed?    Amanda Burden gave the green light to tear down the little yellow Science building for Cooper Union and zone-bust yet again, which has nothing to do with higher education, but with higher greed. Like NYU, Cooper Union uses its not-for-profit status as a tax shelter, as a way to bust through zoning and be a landlord, all the while spouting propaganda that it’s to pay for free education for students.  &lt;a href="http://www.encyclopedia.com/topic/Peter_Cooper.aspx"&gt;Peter Cooper&lt;/a&gt; would be turning over in his grave, because his aim was to help the poor, not crush a community.  How much of that money goes to highly-paid hired hands to &lt;a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/13/business/13cooper.html"&gt;beat down community law suits and sponsor propaganda, justifying their misdeeds&lt;/a&gt;?  I walked by a press conference and informed the press that, despite their saying otherwise, “Many in the community DO NOT like what Cooper Union is doing!” &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.ny1.com/Default.aspx?SecID=1000&amp;amp;ArID=69978"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline ; letter-spacing: 0.0px color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;http://www.ny1.com/Default.aspx?SecID=1000&amp;amp;ArID=69978&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px ;color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;  There I was standing by a water-main break one block from the hideously fractured aquarium building which Cooper Union had forced on the community.... I believe they caused the collapse with their heavy trucks and drilling, but Cooper Union denied it.   T&lt;a href="http://eastvillageeasteastvillage.blogspot.com/2008/11/cooper-unions-new-hideous-studio.html"&gt;he Cooper Union “New” studio looks like it belongs on the set of a “B” Hollywood sci-fi movie&lt;/a&gt;, as opposed to the Bowery, and it underscores, as if in neon, the message, “You’re Not Welcome! You made the community hot, now you can get the hell out!”  &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7upG01-XWbY"&gt;Gordon Gekko&lt;/a&gt; is alive and well and teaching at Stern Business School as well as lecturing to Cooper Union students.  The art students are not anti-establishment but “greed is good” and we are entitled to the money, show me the money, screw the community and hey, who cares that the subway station at Astor Place is rusted and leaking and Cooper Union weighs heavy on the dilapidated old streets and rotted subways stations right there.&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;  Cooper Union says they are not as bad as NYU. I say if they’re not, it’s only because they haven’t obtained and exploited as much real estate as NYU--yet!  Cooper Union has left a horrifying destructive mark with the help on Amanda Burden which along with NYU has changed the historic face of the neighborhood in the worst way possible.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica; color:#121212;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p  style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica; color:#121212;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="font-family:Georgia, fantasy;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:16px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="font-family:Helvetica, fantasy;font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:12px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;The next block down from the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://eastvillageeasteastvillage.blogspot.com/2008/11/cooper-unions-new-hideous-studio.html"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;fractured aquarium -- Cooper Union studio building &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;is the  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nypost.com/seven/05282009/news/regionalnews/natives_are_hostel_171343.htm"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;Cooper Square Hotel&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt; which looks like a space ship landed and illegally parked on the Bowery.   I am still waiting for the 9th Precinct to ticket and tow it!  Did you see the puff piece in The New York Daily News stating that Amanda Burden preserved the East Village, Lower East Side or the front page puff, a few years back in The New York Times, where the writer exposed the close ties she had with NYU? (Special note to readers:  Please get out a barf bag before reading this! She is referred to as the good witch not the wicked witch of the East Village.  There is so much about this phony p.r. piece that will make you sick to your stomach including the NYU connection, the dollar bill Dan -departed to work for Mike's private empire- Doctoroff quote and the platinum silver spoon.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9404E7DB1030F936A25752C0A9619C8B63&amp;amp;sec=&amp;amp;spon=&amp;amp;pagewanted=3"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9404E7DB1030F936A25752C0A9619C8B63&amp;amp;sec=&amp;amp;spon=&amp;amp;pagewanted=3&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;  Not that we needed to read an article from the NY Times to figure out that Burden, the wicked witch of the East Village, has ties to NYU after witnessing her help push the tear-down of&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.suzannahbtroyartist.com/popup2.html"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt; St. Ann’s.   Since1847 St. Ann’s survived everything else,  until NYU’s need and greed to build yet another mega-dorm obliterated it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nyu.edu/"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;NYU, the evil empire,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt; has mega-dormed the East Village to death.   I told mayor Mike this on the John Gambling show, adding  how, under Bloomberg, the East Village, Lower East Side and Bowery look like a bad xerox of mid-town, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=950DE7DA1F3EF935A15755C0A9639C8B63&amp;amp;sec=&amp;amp;spon=&amp;amp;pagewanted=all"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;how the evictions&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt; are &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbSxVIrKKAM"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;rising along with the supersizing&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt; and how I wanted concessions or should I say reparations, such as &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://suzannahbtroy.blogspot.com/2009/05/nyu-evil-empire-of-east-village-purple.html"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;community outreach resource centers in every mega dorm&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:x-large;"&gt;The ever-slick Mike responded, “just a few people feel the way Suzannah feels”.  He’s in for  a surprise this November when he’ll discover that a lot more people feel the way I do!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can hear me confront Mayor Bloomberg on the John Gambling show, which originally aired on October 19, 2007:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nyc.gov/portal/site/nycgov/menuitem.b270a4a1d51bb3017bce0ed101c789a0/index.jsp?doc_name=/html/om/html/2007b/events_10.html"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;http://www.nyc.gov/portal/site/nycgov/menuitem.b270a4a1d51bb3017bce0ed101c789a0/index.jsp?doc_name=/html/om/html/2007b/events_10.html&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;pick the top option for "archived link" which gives you the stream with out down load&lt;br /&gt;move the cursor to 29 minutes (almost the end!!!)&lt;br /&gt;-&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPmDHblVOr4"&gt;Mike Bloomberg is going the way of Ed Koch&lt;/a&gt;: He is losing his popularity and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/7d43ed50-77e5-11de-9713-00144feabdc0.html?nclick_check=1"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;not because people are wondering if he is gay&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;.  If &lt;a href="http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&amp;amp;address=132x3332117"&gt;Bloomberg was gay&lt;/a&gt;, of course gay activists would be furious with him for not being out.    An elderly news reporter hit on me.  I told him that I don’t fool around with married men and that he is too old for me.  He responded that Mike Bloomberg is older than he is and asked if I would fool around with him?  I said, “Yes, if he took Viagra!”  The news reporter also told me he has a friend who slept with Mike and she said that  he’s good in bed.  Do you think the fact she slept with a powerfully connected multi-billionaire in any way effected her evaluation she apparently gave so freely?  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;I find Mike ambiguous -- his  politics. Yes, he is a party animal. But what party?   I am independent. I always have been.  I grew up playing basketball better than a lot of guys and I am perpetually  “single” with two cats;  I know I have a hard time passing for straight.  Actually, I wouldn’t sleep with Mike Bloomberg even if he  did take Viagra.  He betrayed my vote for him, and even with Viagra, there  would be no potential for sexual healing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also compare Mike to mayor Dinkins.   &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://mayorbloombergkingofnewyork.blogspot.com/2009/05/mike-bloombergs-streets-of-new-york.html"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;The streets of New York&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt; are returning to what many called “Dinkinsville”: broken up and messy. And crime is quietly rising but doesn’t make the stats...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mph0TJI7wAw"&gt;Every small business seems to go belly up&lt;/a&gt;.   You start to feel &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KfXR5ppT1l8"&gt;tearful&lt;/a&gt; and anxious every time another historic building or a&lt;a href="http://www.nypost.com/seven/07312009/news/regionalnews/thompson_silent_for_slur_on_quinn_182241.htm"&gt; small mom-and-pop business&lt;/a&gt; goes under. Even the word “supermarket” is on it’s way to becoming an anachronism.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How did this happen?  Weren’t the people of NYC speaking up against this community-crushing development?  Yes, but it was a sign of the times. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;Democracy like this “new” New York had deaf ears and served the developers, the greedy, as opposed to the people.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;  Where are the watch dogs?  Where are the accountability and the transparency?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Geneva"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;The term-limits deal, or ordeal, was proof.  How many city council members received slush money, some millions in discretionary spending like &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nypost.com/seven/10192008/news/regionalnews/3rd_term_is_lush_hour_134241.htm"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;Simcha Felder&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;, who came out like a hit-man for Bloomberg-&lt;a href="http://web.me.com/demandthetruth/The_Quinn_Report/HOME.html"&gt;Quinn stating &lt;/a&gt;we don’t need a &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sb-mxXr3qW8"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;public advocate&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;. And it’s true that the last road block City Hall needs is a watch dog, considering that they are as big a joke as Albany.

City council denied us a referendum and it proved laughable when Quinn said the conflict of interest ruled that it was not a conflict of interest for city council, to vote for term limits. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/2009/05/31/2009-05-31_city_council.html"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt; No wonder city council insisted on voting which I believe was a conflict of interest; besides all of the above listed The New York Daily News exposed city council members were taking money from shady developers they were giving pork to and with a mayor pushing more development do the math.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Geneva"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Geneva"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Geneva"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:x-large;"&gt;Did the "conflict of interest board" think anything is a conflict of interest until &lt;a href="http://www.nypost.com/seven/04142009/news/regionalnews/mike_eyes_finance_boss_hanky_panky_164366.htm"&gt;The New York Post&lt;/a&gt; and The New York &lt;a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/news/2009/04/12/2009-04-12_ethics_board_goin_easy_on_city_brass.html"&gt;Daily&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/ny_local/2009/07/12/2009-07-12_some_city_politicians_received_big_campaign_donations_and_tried_to_aid_developer.html"&gt;News&lt;/a&gt; exposes a City Hall rife with conflicts of interests? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;The "&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nypost.com/seven/04142009/news/regionalnews/mike_eyes_finance_boss_hanky_panky_164366.htm"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;conflict of interest committee&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;" has to be the biggest joke at city hall except for council members stealing money and voting for a third term!

I  discovered two very good looking, older women admiring my poster displayed on a community bulletin board, complaining about Mike’s mailer as well.  Even though the mailers were made on recycled paper, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://weblogs.amny.com/entertainment/urbanite/blog/2009/05/amnewyork_letters_to_the_edito_90.html"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;how many trees were killed for that mailer, what a waste of recycling efforts,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;  to be sent to millions of New Yorkers, who don’t have money to go solar Hey Mike, they’re broke!  It’s like Mike saying on  tv commercials that he will give loans to small businesses.  Hey Mike, they’re already broke!  A loan would just mean a bigger hole, and more debt they can’t pay back!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Geneva; min-height: 16.0px"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Geneva; min-height: 16.0px"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Geneva"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;Earth to King Mike...?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Geneva"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Geneva"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Geneva"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Geneva"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;The YouTube postings are my art, and there is a strange byproduct, an audience of male admirers. I am told I am a MILF  from a 22-year-old.   I had to ask a fellow YouTuber what that actually meant.  I thank the young man and tell him whatever Demi Moore has been doing, I don’t have the money to do, and also that the camera flatters me...  I am pushing 47, but gee, thanks. And for the older men who also hit on me, I tell them I am in my prime and they are too old for me. It isn’t an issue of arm-candy, like, “older man with younger woman.”   I have had so many men hit on me, but I can’t actually do anything with them,because they’re guys who fell for me because of YouTube postings.  I am nevertheless glad to get messages that confirm I’m inspiring people to get out there and vote against Mike Bloomberg.  I was repulsed by one fan who asked me to tell news reporters that if they actually report the news because of scandals at city hall--from the city council to pension scandals and more..&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEcSTZUBbSA"&gt;.offer them full exposure  of my breasts&lt;/a&gt;. He tells me that some people must watch my YouTube postings to pleasure themselves.  I realized he was really talking about himself, and that turned me off to him.   I did value his political insights but couldn't deal with his attitude towards me.   Seems like some men grow up and want to play with Barbie dolls. Here is yet another man talking to me  as if I were a Barbie Doll without a brain, saying I don’t know how  ruthless these players are.    I find myself returning to the opening “quote” of Bloomberg Newzzz” about Mike being ruthless.  I explained that I did know, and that I had to move because of such matters.  Believe me, I know just what’s been going on. I have lived it!  This man who is slightly older than I am is condescending to me when he isn’t having his private, tissue-box moments.  He tells me I have a great body, and I tell him I actually don’t.  He tells me if I am hurt or murdered, don’t worry: he’ill write about me and relate my story.  I tell him that there are four news reporters, whom I call “my Dads,” that already know my story. They are diverse but they have one thing in common: they can’t tolerate corruption. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Geneva; min-height: 16.0px"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Geneva"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;Mike Bloomberg has hired every campaign-manager in town.  He isn’t satisfied with just a tsunami of ad campaigns with no opposition but &lt;a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/12/nyregion/12wolfson.html?_r=1&amp;amp;pagewanted=all"&gt;he also has to hire everybody he can in his war on.&lt;/a&gt;..oh, I meant to say in his ambitious goal to win a third term.&lt;a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/12/nyregion/12wolfson.html?_r=1&amp;amp;pagewanted=all"&gt; http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/12/nyregion/12wolfson.html?_r=1&amp;amp;pagewanted=all &lt;/a&gt;  The only guys he hasn’t hired, just joking, they are plenty of people Mike has not hired.... are admirers of my YouTube campaign against Bloomberg.    I meet some.   I am sure we  have shared moments thinking he/she doesn’t look as good as his/her facebook picture.    One political animal, younger and good looking, also hits on me.  We have sizzling text messages, but I tell him he has to give my YouTube postings five star ratings because I have sicko cyber stalkers. He responds, ”No!— Not until after the election.” I can’t help wondering if he is also a stalker,  and so I delete him from my phone as well.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Geneva"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Geneva"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Geneva"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;I am real, not enhanced like actresses.  But I am also a feminist. So when I use my &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-ry7TGy7zA"&gt;cleavage on YouTube, it’s sending a double message. And it’s so funny that one admirer didn’t get it at first&lt;/a&gt;, even when I spelled it out. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://emilymay.wordpress.com/reviews-criticism/john-bergers-ways-of-seeing/"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;I refer to John Berger's "Ways of Seeing"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;.  A YouTube admirer and supporter of mine emailed me to tell me he was upset: “You couldn’t see my face in, “No third term for Mayor Mike Bloomberg NYC + city council that voted themselves a raise!”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=Y-ry7TGy7zA"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt; http://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=Y-ry7TGy7zA &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt; .....but I would do the Marilyn spread but instead of a white sheet -- a silk screen transparent sheet of my political poster lampooning Mike Bloomberg because he has billions and at 47, I have natural assets that are compelling and I want people to vote.  &lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:x-large;"&gt;We don’t have many watchdogs so getting out and voting is the way each New Yorker can be a watch dog and reclaim democracy!  Vote everyone that voted for a third term out of office!!!  Send a message democracy is not for sale, either is City Hall!!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Geneva"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Geneva"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Geneva"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;I had a bad  night of insomnia which I attribute to post-traumatic stress.  Beyond exhausted,  I attended a meeting of &lt;a href="http://fedupnewyorkers.org/"&gt;“Fed-up New Yorkers”&lt;/a&gt; and when I came home  I did a song parody protesting Mike and Christine.   I couldn’t sing in key but I wanted to send a message so I &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1s-4A1S3YA4"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;my latest YouTube is an attempt to make over Eddie Veder’s “No More&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;.”But instead of Bush and the war, I am talking about Bloomberg and Christine Quinn. And this anti-war song is about what it feels like when Mike, Amanda the wicked witch, socialite city planner and developers made “economic war” on NYC with their reckless community crushing development.  &lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:large;"&gt;The Bloomberg Administration pushed for this  “new” Yankee Stadium, a perfect metaphor for Mike and Amanda mega millionaire sociliate Burden’s “new” hideous New York the middle class and poor cannot afford.  NYC seems filled with “mini” Mike wannabes.  I call the city “oligarch central”. The land grabs, the power plays, the on going evictions are over whelming.   New Yorkers' threshold for corruption is higher than the skyscrapers.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Geneva; min-height: 16.0px"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Geneva"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;Tony Avella’s people say they will vote for Thompson if Tony loses in the democratic primary, which I pray is not going to happen. And Bill Thompson’s people say, they can’t say they will vote for Avella.  Does that mean that if Bill loses the democratic primary, he is voting for Mike and hoping Mike will back him for state comptroller?  Are they all in this together?  I’ve heard that the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.workingfamiliesparty.org/"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;Working Family Party&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt; has endorsed &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AdYVcV7z9_0"&gt;Christine Quinn&lt;/a&gt;, aka Mike Jr.  Does that mean they will be endorsing Mike Bloomberg? Since writing “Bloomberg Newzzz” the Working Family has endorsed Bill Thompson.  If I had one question for Bill Thompson it would be, "How come you could not stop the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nypost.com/seven/05172009/news/regionalnews/hired_consultants__invest_in_______us_169675.htm"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;conflicts of interest&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt; and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/22/business/22quadrangle.html?_r=1&amp;amp;ref=nyregion"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;scandals&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt; regarding the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/23/nyregion/23albany.html?_r=1&amp;amp;hp"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;pension funds at City Hall&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Geneva"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Geneva"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Geneva"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_JyiQKfAat4"&gt;Behind the scenes is everyone convinced Mike the little emperor of NYC has won?
