- Ah yes, another beautiful sunny day in NYC. Let's skim through
- the local corruption and idiocy that runs rampant here. Hmmmm.
- ...I see that our fire department training facility has had its
- specially designed, propane burning, simulated fire training
- facility "out of order" for the past two years. I guess Dumb
- Dave Dinkins figures the fire fighters can practice on real
- fires. Hell, we know that your chances of surviving a heart
- attack in NYC are lower than 1 in 10 based on EMS response,
- why not match that with your firefighters.

- Whoops, look no further, the city comptroller, Liz Holtzman
- (another weasel running for office) found that the Health Department
- inspectors had been goofing off. Let's read a little closer and
- find out that there are 6 inspectors and 1 supervisor assigned to
- inspect almost 3000 public and private day-care facilities.
- Doing rough math, 3000/6 = 500. So each inspector must inspect
- 500 centers a year. Yup yup yup, I'm sure they won't miss much.
- Especially after they fill out everything in triplicate.
-
- To close this drama off in the distance we see Mario Cuomo in a
- clown suit and Dave Dinkins in a dog suit sining "Gimme mo' money"
- to anyone who passes nearby.
