The rumors of NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s decision to run for a third term and attempt to change a term limit law in the process, are being analyzed by many mainstream media sources as a sign of the need and desire to have a familiar face guide the city through the current economic crisis.
After all, Bloomy is not just a politician, he’s an economic insider, a former Wall Street trader and the man behind the business information company that has his name. Pero what short term memory people have.
Remember the praise Giuliani got post 9-11-01? How well he handled the crisis? So we face a “new” threat and we need more of the same?

1 Oct 2008Today the Senate is set to vote on a multi-dollar bailout plan. Struggling to understand how we got here? Wondering where the alternatives are?
Sometimes all there is, is music and poetry. Rebel Diaz knows.
Still confused about the bailout plans and how it might affect you?

1 Oct 2008Suze Orman has the answers! Although I find a lot of the scenarios talked about in this video clip a bit out there (who the hell has excellent credit for heaven’s sake, and why are you even calling in? Please, make way for the rest of us who are drowning, thanks much!) at the same time, I always appreciate Suze’s answers, even if they have little to do with me. They clarify financial situations in ways that I can understand and most of the time she works with people who are more realistic than Mr. I-have-perfect-credit-I’m-so-scared.

Last night, we wrote about how a religious event in the Bronx, NY ended with community members harassed and arrested. This is how the powers that be treat even the most sacred things in our lives : with suspicion and ultimately, violence and repression.
Those expecting justice in the court system come out with a mixed bag.
Last evening about 15 members of the community gathered in court to await Amari’s arraignment. The Judge, District Attorneys and Court Officers were not happy. As Amaris was released on here own recognizance on multiple misdemeanor charges and her supporters walked out of the courtroom, court officers grabed Mujahid, a member of Taino Survivalists.
A face off between community people and court officers ensued in which we were told that Mujahid was arrested for disorderly conduct. When asked what had he done , we were told that “Constitution had been suspended by officer James badge # 3726. This was then echoed by officer Jack # 6788.All supporters were then ordered out of the Court Building. About 1/2 hour later Mujahid was released without charges.
They just need to remind us who is in charge.
