P.S.: Yes, I know Sarah Palin is no longer holding elective office. But if hating her is wrong I don’t want to be right.
THIS WEEK: Meet Jo Anne Simon
Filed under: 11211, 11222, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Williamsburg, Williamsburg Brooklyn
This item comes courtesy of Teresa Toro, who writes:
Dear Neighbors and Friends:
As you know, I am strongly and proudly supporting Jo Anne Simon in her campaign to be our next City Councilmember. Jo Anne’s years of experience as an effective community leader, on issues ranging from affordable housing to accountable government, to truck traffic and parking reform, make her the best possible representative for us.
But why listen to me?
Come meet Jo Anne this Wednesday, August 5th. We’ll be at The Gibson (Bedford Avenue and North 11th Street) from 7pm. You can ask her your tough questions about why she’s the best person to represent us, and learn more about why she is running for the seat…
I encourage each and every one of you who is interested in the 33rd District City Council race to attend this event. And, dear readers, you should be interested: whoever is elected to fill David Yassky’s vacant seat will have serious ramifications for north Brooklyn. Any and all interested in this opportunity to meet Jo Anne Simon (who, it should be noted, is the only female candidate in this packed race) can RSVP via email at: contact (at) joanneforcouncil (dot) com.
Let’s give Ms. Simon a hearty Greenpoint welcome!

Yes folks, the peeps at Cookie Road have issued a more budget friendly (but no less disturbing) version of their infamous Michael Jackson cookie.
What’s more, now you can bite the head off of the Chief Executive of the United States for a mere $3.75 (and no visits from the Secret Service)! It can’t get any better than this.*

Briana of Unemployed Brooklyn writes (in an email entitled “Greenpoint Unemployed”):
…I am trying to get a group together for unemployed peeps in Greenpoint and Williamsburg and thought you might be able to help me get the word out. I know you have a lot of loyal readers in the ‘hood (me included!)… I don’t have a definite time/place set yet, but am trying to gauge interest  – and see what I can get together.
Any and all who are interested in participating in this job fair for the jobless should contact the proprietress of this site at the above email address. Great idea, Briana!
