I spelled it right at first, then I thought it looked wrong.
Might be my mild dyslexia.

city and the results were known.

Yet in the past 30 years it had two well known Republican mayors: Giuliani an Bloomberg.

With Ghouliani....

🤔 It's possible that Mayor Dinkins suffered from what Obama suffered for om in the racists really coming near to the fore seeing a black man in office. Rudi stoked racism during Dinkins term.

Bloomberg - idk. He was pretty good on some things.

was crowded in 2001. There was only one other candidate on the Republican side.

Giuliani was the last "real" Republican elected, and that was 24 years ago.

Sliwa is just a bit older than I. When I was growing up in the 70s, he was frequently in the news being the founder of the Guardian Angels. They were a mixed bag. They brought terror to subway criminals, but also to many casual train riders. They were the tough guys and wanted everyone to know.

For a time, he was an on-air host at the radio station WABC, which was very right-wing.

I love cats.

In the '70s I was a mid late through mid late 20s.

So, oh yeah I remember The Guardian Angels.
I guess it depended on who you were in some ways.
The GA was a mix of white, black and latinx if I remember correctly. I'm white but by HS I had latinx, and black male friends, and acquaintances (I had friendships with women of those groups earlier late grade school onward), and continued into college (early '70s) - so those guys didn't scare me.

Oh god, yes the "imitable" WABC! Oh, blarg! I remember it too well - Curtis, (rip 😄 ) Rushbo etc. And down the dial was Bob Grant, and Mike Savage. Listening to any of them was like (internally) yelling at the TV.
I also remember back before - Cousin Brucie!

I enjoy watching kittens/cats, puppies, and dog videos.
I also see my on line friends fur buds photos. 👍
