Which leads to another Wilhelm that springs to my mind...

Claiming his place as the 109th mayor of New York City, Bill de Blasio delivered an inaugural address on Wednesday that focused on the issue of inequality, promising that the attention he gave to the subject when he was running for office was not merely campaign rhetoric.
Outside City Hall, in front of an audience that included members of his family, luminaries like Bill and Hillary Rodham Clinton and hundreds of ordinary New Yorkers, Mayor de Blasio spoke of the city’s history of embracing liberal causes, and he laid out a mayoralty that emphasized social and economic justice.
“We are called to put an end to economic and social inequalities that threaten to unravel the city we love,” he said. “And so today, we commit to a new progressive direction in New York. And that same progressive impulse has written our city’s history. It’s in our DNA.”

Little green men from mars. And Bigfoot.
. . . Ask a stupid a$$ question...
8,000,000 stories in this city....and when it came to selecting its mayor the choices were Weiner, Quinn and DeBlasio. Simply pathetic.
So glad my kids moved out last Summer!
Just doing what the comrades of NYC have elected him to do.
It's going to be a good year for upscale moving companies and real estate agents in Connecticut!

Love your images.
The DeBlasio jokes will write themselves this year. I’m 3,000 miles away and hope anyone with any sense gets out NOW.
Only glad my dearest friend isn’t alive to see this, died on Christmas Day in 2010, resident of NY’s Upper East Side.
If Bill Clinton was there, he can find more of it on Monica's dress.
NYC used to be a major American manufacturing center. One may suspect that the remaining makers of things are going to be harmed by the policies DeBozo will inflict on the city.
This is the plan. You’re exactly right. We will foot the bill for the destruction of the economy, until there is no middle class left to pick up the pieces.
Feat accomplished.
I’m not at all comforted that this can all be settled at the ballot box, anymore. We’re a noisy bunch but not much bite and no real threat, yet, to anything.
dittos....plus universal pre-K is a huge Democrat jobs program. More wealth transfer. Very similar to how welfare people get money for babysitting each others kids.... I don’t know the details on this scam.
universal Pre-K will be nothing more than a Democrat scheme for ******GETTING PAID***** for glorified baby sitting

Honestly speaking, I found the alternative to the Dems — Joe Lhota and John Catsamatides to be quite acceptable.
Lhota was Giuliani’s deputy Mayor and was with him during in 9/11 when the towers collapsed. He would have been a better mayor than these bunch of clowns. Catsamatises would have been like Bloomberg ( he is also a self-made billionaire businessman ) without the food control obsession.

No matter how astute your observation, we can be sure that the American people want not their “Special K” but “their pre-K”.
It may break our hearts, but the people of NYC have stone hearts, don’t they?
I know, but the middle class is too uninformed to understand what is happening.
Putting your snarky reply aside, in case you’re interested, the correct answer is....nothing.
Therefore, the 78% weren’t screwed by the 22%, they screwed themselves. Put another way, they can stop blaming the results of an election on the quarter of the electorate who voted (yes, for liberal candidates) and blame themselves and all who did not bother to vote at all.
The free. Arket built that. D@mn pretty too.
His first action in office is to have a private party.
Figures.
Inequality being his big concern. YEP.
Ugh...I live here.
There are many conservatives and libertarians in NYC, mostly living here due to family or for economic opportunity.
