Can Someone Please Put a Damn Muzzle on Rep. Alan Grayson

A few weeks ago, a freshman congressman from Florida named Alan Grayson burst onto the American political scene when he took to the floor of the House and presented his version of the Republican party’s health care reform plan, which essentially implores Americans to “die quickly” according to Grayson. The video of the speech went viral and then the cable news networks went nuts with it and before you knew it Alan Grayson went from being an obscure politician to a ubiquitous one in the blink of an eye. Since his big coming out party, Grayson, who sort of looks like he could play a Huey Long-esque politician in a Coen Brothers movie, has rarely turned down the opportunity to speak into any microphone thrust into his face, and the things he says into these microphones are getting more and more offensive and downright dumb. He’s on the road to becoming the Democrats version of Michele Bachmann, minus the full retard factor of course, and he should really just shut the fuck up. Read more »

Last night a freshman Democratic congressman from Florida, Rep. Alan Grayson, stepped up to the microphone on the floor of the House of Representatives and offered up his interpretation of the Republican’s alternative to President Obama’s heath care proposals.

David Paterson Will Not Be Deterred By His Incompetence or Lack of Support

America’s favorite blind governor says that, despite Obama’s efforts to get him to do otherwise, he is running to hold onto the office he inherited after Eliot Spitzer’s hooker-nailing proclivities were revealed to the world. Asked about it by the New York Times, Paterson said, “I am running for governor right now. I have no idea — I am a candidate for governor.” Yep, that sounds about right. |New York Times|

The Bronx Elects A Hip Hop President

Unlike Peter Valllone Jr., the city councilman who blindly hates all aerosol related forms of art, newly elected Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr. embraces it. Here he is holding a spray can, posing in front of a mural with CES, the skilled graffiti writer who painted a mural for him at the famed tattoo studio Tuff City. In addition to dealing with all the problems that come with the territory, his responsibilities will include building the proposed Hip Hop Museum. It should also be noted that rapper Fat Joe totally has his back. |12oz.|

Reverend Billy Gets Green Light to Run for Mayor

Standing on the steps of Union Square on Sunday, Reverend Billy Talen officially declared his run as Green Party candidate for New York City Mayor. The long-time activist preacher, well known from his work with the Church of Life After Shopping and Morgan Spurlock’s documentary, What Would Jesus Buy?, declared to a crowd supporters and press, “This campaign will be the revolt of the fabulous 500 neighborhoods, amen!” At the core of the Reverend’s campaign is the idea that “the greatness of New York comes from its neighborhoods,” which he’s focused on protecting and strengthening.

Freight Train Graffiti Gets Political

Graffiti is no stranger to politics but it’s not often you see work like this. The Abe Lincoln Brigade has been loading freights cars with political pieces like IMPEACH for a while. Now with Bush out of office they’re targeting the state of the economy with messages like BAILOUT and POVERTY. Check out more photos of their work at Just Seeds.

Low Budg Voter Drive

With only 4 days to go till mid term elections we’re getting ready for the last minute throngs of volunteers handing out flyers, last minute smear spots, and the littering of political placards across our cityscapes. But this guy above totally took us by surprise. This may be one of the most ghetto campaign rigs we’ve ever come across. He was driving through the streets of NYC with megaphones strapped to his hood, hand drawn banners adorning his car, and carrying on how “Rent is too damn high.” Sadly, this may have been the one and only candidate that actually got our attention.
