  1. “For some reason, I envision that EastNY has the same type of looks and persona as Dominic Carter (sans the allegations of wife abuse, of course!).”

    No way! I’m not a sumo wrestler-type like Dominic, although I do respect him as a newsman. I weight 154 pounds. And, I have hair. But, putting your hands on a woman is wrong. There’s no defense for it – just walk away if you’re really angry.

  2. “Jews can’t be gay?”

    err, that’s not the joke Biff. Its that being gay is a religion. I suppose one has to take risks with comedy and sometimes it fails and splats on the ground. I’ll clean it up off the floor later.

  3. Actually, the Borough Presidents do have some powers still. They used to have alot more before the Charter Revisions of a few years ago.

    Their residual power lies in the field of capital expenditures. They are an approval step in the ULURP (Land review process) and they also have a say on how capital expenditures for things like parks and streetlamps are spent in their borough.
