As we see that Phil and Woody were right after all – it snows here – we also enjoy Staten island Chuck getting recognition for his style in a page one headline
Hey, Mike – we just found the New Yorker not on your payroll!
“His hand was nicked,” a Bloomberg spokesman said. The mayor is up to date on his Tetanus shot, so he simply washed his wounded finger and put on a bandage.

All I can say is
(you know, buying the job, school and budget mess third party if they don’t get Obama, Caroline Kennedy and poor people get asthma because of bad hygiene amongst other things) So I added him to my schadenfreude list
I loved the write-up and photoshop from The Gothamist
Mayor Bloomberg is Scared of Staten Island Chuck!
But the Mayor referred to Chuck during a later press conference, suggesting the groundhog might be a “terrorist rodent” and was perhaps trained by Al Qaeda.

I am a bit concerned for Chuck’s health too. I know just how toxic Bloomberg is…

Someone should tell Bloomberg’s aide that rabies is the usual worry with animal bites, not tetanus. Hopefully Bloomberg’s shot record is up-to-date because that would be a horrible disease for Chuck to get.

Can we have Bloomie arrested for cruelty to animals? I wonder if Chuck can fly a plane…

Looks like more tax evasion for Ofraudma’s picks. The choice for “Performance Czar” has pulled her hat out of the ring due to not paying her hired help’s employment taxes for a year and a half. I wonder what else is lurking for her, since the others had much greater tax evasion amounts. HE backs the others, but of course this is a female and not worthy of troubles or talk of glitches.

I was just watching Groundhog’s Day and thinking how big that groundhog’s teeth were and how much it would hurt to get bitten by one. I’ve been bitten by a bunny and their teeth aren’t nearly as huge but it sure hurt and bled like crazy!

rabies is the concern–but chuck does not look rabid.
silly aides–the dumbing down of america.
