P.S.: I want a decent vegetarian enchilada in north Brooklyn/south Queens. Thoughts? Suggestions?

East Williamsburg Post-Halloween Wrap Up: Back in the U.S.S.R.?

November 4, 2009 ·

Okay, before I proceed with this post I want to get two things out of the way:

I am completely aware that Halloween is not just yesterday’s— but last week’s— news.
Some would argue that the location of the following tableau is Bushwick, not East Williamsburg.

Sometimes in the course of human events one need not trifle with taxonomy or the temporal. What I beheld today on Grattan Street is just such an occasion.

Now I will endeavor to explain to you what you just saw.

1. In the background is a Soviet Russian flag. Actually it is a towel of the Soviet Russian flag.
2. In the foreground is a bespectacled pumpkin with a ninja star lodged in one of its eyes.

3. I’m not too sure if the item to the right is a vase or a rather bourgeois looking bong. In light of the ninja star I am leaning towards the latter.

Soviet stoners in East Williamsburg, you ask? I wouldn’t rule it out. Especially in light of what I found shortly thereafter on McKibben Street.

The revolution is dead, LONG LIVE THE REVOLUTION!

New York Shitty Day Starter: Rage Against The Machine

Today’s the big day kids.

We, the people, get to choose between a jackass and an elephant plutocrat for mayor.

The 34th City Council district has an incumbent running against a puppet of her former mentor: the inimitable Vito Lopez.

Behold, the Davilamobile! As witnessed by yours truly yesterday on the Southside.

As the 33rd, well, we have this guy:

Steve Levin. Another Lopez puppet.

Here’s a letter the Mister and I received from Mr. Levin last weekend.

When I searched the Gotham Gazette’s voter guide yesterday to learn what alternatives I had to Levin I got this:

NO SHIT.

But if this is to be believed there will be someone running against Levin. Those of you who wish to vote in protest to Vito’s influence over/strong-arming our community might want to vote for Ms. Tretter.

Yes, this election will be tantamount to getting a colo-rectal exam: it sucks like hell, but you know you should do it.

You can do it, New York Shitty!

Miss Heather

P.S.: The lack of effective opposition against Levin (and my own ego and hubris) in this 33rd City Council race makes me feel behooved to run against him (and Vito) next time around.

My preliminary platform/platitudes are as follows:
