Monty Burns for Mayor

Move over Bloomberg, there's a new billionaire in town, and he's just as old, white and male. His big plans include bringing subway fares down to a nickel by including cattle and bulk freight transportation through our underground system. Don't ask questions, it just makes sense! And who can naysay his plan to sell Staten Island to New Jersey?

I was saying Booo-urns.

I say sell SI to NJ and BBQ to Nassau County. Then we'll make them pay a commuter tax and a premium for their Metro Cards. It's a win-win.

I'm a fan of Staten Island too, and a former resident. But the idea of selling it is still funny.

Seriously! At least we don't have hipsters there and no alternate side of the street parking. In your face other boroughs!

have you never been to St. George? Plenty of tight-panted white kids living amongst the Sri Lankans and Guyanese.

would have been better had it been less elaborate, and it it were just the posters either saying "billionaires for bloomberg" or even just "mike bloomberg nyc".

or you just be happy that someone actually had a clever idea and executed it.. rather than sitting on the computer and complaining about it ;)

nice try, bagel, but i don't believe that, out of all of the dumb comments on this blog in general, mine was the comment significant enough to try and earn snarky cool points on. in fact, i think that you should have points deducted for the completely misspent hostile sarcasm.

jen chung, can you get on that? thanks.
