I went to bed in the East Village and woke-up in a bad xerox of mid-town turning in to a bad xerox of Dubai. Welcome to king Mike Bloomberg's hideous "new" New York. Can the people save what soul is left?
911 Tech Corruption
Scott Stringer is not qualified to be NYC gov comptroller but thanks to back room deals and fixing and favors he got the job. He removed John Liu's Press Release from May 31, 2012 asking for a criminal investigation in to 911. Cy Vance said there is no need for one. Truth is yes there is and we need yet another new audit of 911 and for years before the first audits we needed a criminal investigation in to 911 and we still do. We also need an audit and investigation in to 311 spending and Board of Election, NYCAPS, NYCWiNS, FDNY Wireless, etc.

Ben Affleck's Film Argo Great
So moving....WOW...see this film!!!!!!!!!!! Based on a true story of American's taken hostage in Iran -- it is a heart stopping true story.

This film is so good --- look at the article above for a colorful photo with Ben Affleck, John Goodman and Alan Arkin to give a hint this film is entertaining, a roll coaster ride and I don't read the next sentence if you don't want the ending revealed.
It ends happy, you see photos of the real photo vs actors, and Jimmy Carter gives us a summary at the end.
I shed some tears.
This is not Petraeus and company, dumb and dumber but our hero CIA agent Tony Mendez is everything you wish Petraeus was rather than writing character references for Jill Kelley's sister and think of Benghazi, Tony Mendez was so courageous, gutsy no wonder he was given an award - a star and not on Hollywood walk of fame. I was impressed by the story, the acting and story telling.

Did Obama's administration really sell the YouTube lie in an era when our President has his own YouTube channel and FYI, I am a subscriber but I couldn't vote for Obama who is Bush lite. I vote for the Green Party.
I am disappointed from The White House to Albany to City Hall and just had a shocker with the NYPD that has changed my life and perceptions completely.
This film gave me hope and makes you appreciate how lucky you are to be alive and safe if in fact you are.
I see Oscars for Affleck's Argo.
ps if you see Argo in the East Village before noon you will pay 6 dollars versus Lincoln which costs 14 dollars. http://www.villageeastcinema.com
