Graffiti that Bench

We've noted before that the after 25 years of the House of Clinton treating the Democrat Party like one of Bill's Arkansas State Employees the Dems have bench problems. Or do they?

We now shift to the Big Apple. This is the city in whose shadow we have spent most of our lives. NYC is famous for many things, graffiti being one of them, hence the title of this post. The graffiti was one of a hundred quality of life issues that Rudy Giuliani focused on during his fabulously successful two terms as mayor. The left always mocked Rudy's 'broken windows' theory of crime management. Remember, they miss the old New York of Kitty Genovese, Son of Sam, the Burning Bronx, the '77 Blackout, etc etc. If the left could, they'd put the peep shows and porn shops back in Time Square.

This brings us to Mayor Bill De Blasio (Sandinista, Nicaragua). Like the previously mentioned Gavin Newsom of SF, Mayor Bill checks off all the right boxes and he comes with a  few bonuses. He tried to get rid of the handsome cabs and he hates cops, plus, here's a big one, the city is going to hell again. The last time I was in NYC, unfortunately a few weeks ago, I saw bums laying in the streets and was accosted by a sqweeji man.

Ahhhh... that takes me back. I remember once in 1990 my dad and I went to a Yankees game, at night. Dave Eiland started but he came out with arm trouble to be replaced by Eric Plunk. After he gave up five runs I shouted, 'Hey Plunk! You suck!' to which me old man replied, 'Thank you for that editorial comment.' We were sitting next to a pair of drunk Puerto Ricans [in the South Bronx? You don't say? -Ed] In front of us were a bunch of Japanese businessmen, no doubt on a trip to buy some expensive real estate, and ironically, some Krauts. Yes, I had fun with that. Anyhoo, when we left the game me old man made a wrong turn, we went under a bridge after which my dad locked the doors. We emerged to be accosted by a bum trying to wash the windshield.

All that's left is for de-Blas to reinstall the porn shops n Times Square and we're good to go.

So de Blasio has definite appeal in the Democrat Party primary. Let's say he's got the old Howard Dean block locked up.
