Can you still find 'Blame GE' bumper stickers or would I have to pay a vintage '90's price?

According to the Times, these fish had to trade off heat & oxygenation resiliency to be able to handle the pollution. Not fun.

What do you get when mate a Hudson Tomcod with a Gowanus Zombiefish? Godzilla?

Cloverfield.

The current Republican budget calls for the defunding of the EPA. If it comes to pass we'll be seeing a lot more these mutants.

The sewers were built over 100 years ago. Water filtration plants are old too, but it's definitely Bloomtard's fault. That one extra term made him like dictator for life, so now we get to blame him for the British siege in the revolutionary war.

Rod, please chill out and stop buzz killing every post. The Hudson is polluted because of former GE, GM, and other industrial giants that had factories on the river before pollution control became cool. So yes, the feds not regulating pollution before the 70's really did have a bad effect.

I seek no bogeyman, but you blame the mayor for everything and are causing me to feel quasi paranoid of my US government to counterbalance where you put all the blame. Next they might come take my guns, my freedom, my life savings, my junk food and cigarettes. Definitely their fault.

hey, i wonder how many gothamist readers will also say the mayor of nyc has nothing to do with the minor fact that every time we get a quick rainstorm, it forces raw sewage into the river.

oh, is that Obama or Bush's fault?

no wonder bloomtard is mayor for life. he picked the city with the dumbest people ever seen.

are you certain it was better to spend $4 billion on a new stadium for the richest sports franchise ever (the Yankees) (not including the $900 million to raze the old one and dispose of the rubble!)

what?

Mike destroyed TWO stadiums that didn't need to be razed?

hmmmm, i'm starting to wonder if this guy isn't the most corrupt pol in U.S. history!

but gothamist and its readers keep insisting he's not so bad...

Why blame politicians? A politician won't lose a major sports team during his tenure because it could end his political career, and that's because people care more about baseball than they do about dumping sewage into the river.

Which, I should point out, we've been doing since the city was called Niew Amsterdam.

This is New York, not some small market. The Yankees weren't going to leave the city, not even for New Jersey. I might have believed it in the 1980s when Steinbrenner made the threat and people with money were still fleeing to the suburbs. Not now. Ditto for when Goldman Sachs wanted concessions and tax breaks to stay downtown. They weren't even threatening to leave Manhattan.

You are the most annoying commenter here, by a landslide.

"by a landslide"

Let's not forget that "bloomtard," as Rod would say, is also responsible for the majority of landslides - either physical earth-based landslides or Fleetwood Mac's 1975 mega-hit "Landslide" you can sure as hell bet that "bloomtard" was behind it!

Rod - take this love and take it down.

i'm still laughing
