Lots of people are surprised to hear I'm running for mayor of New York City, but they wouldn't be if they knew me better. I have a political science degree, and I grew up around politics. My father's been a city councilman for over twenty years now, and was also a volunteer fireman. Most importantly though, who knows the pulse of the city better than me? I've been standing outside in Times Square for over a decade, listening to the minds of all New Yorkers -- from cab drivers and politicians to the thousands of small businessmen just like me. I know what's on their mind.
And think about Schwarzenegger and Reagan. Schwarzenegger used to just blow stuff up all day on movie sets, and Reagan used to act with a bunch of chimps. He still became a great president, but he probably would've been even better if he spent as much time out with the people as I do.
I've basically created a global brand with just some tighty-whities and hard work, so imagine what I can do when I'm backed by all the wonderful people and resources of the greatest city on earth. My campaign is based on one simple truth -- no one's done more with less than me -- and that's the kind of thinking I'll be delivering as mayor. And I'm not going to be the kind of politician who's shuttled around in a limo all day -- I'm going to keep doing my thing, engaging with folks from all walks of life and really listening to them.
One of my main focuses is going to be small businesses, because that's my background. So much real estate is just sitting empty these days, and it hurts me to see people losing their businesses and their lifelong dreams. Here's just one of my plans to help rebuild this city and get it back on track:
THE NAKED STIMULUS PLAN:
Happy about these plans? Me too. Just be sure to create lots of jobs and pay your taxes once your business gets off the ground. Deal?
No one's more serious than me about making this city as great as it can be, so don't forget to write me in this November 3rd. I'm even going to see if I can relax the dress code at the voting booths. And stay tuned to www.nakedcowboyformayor.com for more info, videos and events.

The Naked Cowboy NYC Mayor Hopeful » Right Pundits
His union-busting, his tax breaks for the rich at the expense of everyone else, his playing with interest rates and credit to give the ILLUSION of prosperity, his ripping the solar panels off the White House.... everything he did was to cause the booming middle class to sit down, shut their dumb Serf mouths and and get to work for their gracious Lords and go die in their oil wars when told.
Our decline can be traced directly to Reagan.
The Cons set out to destroy the middle class and they were successful. Reagan was one of the worst things to happen to this country.

Since i'm afraid that Thomson will be Dinkins Jr, looks like YOU got MY vote!
Naked Cowboy, if I contribute to your campaign, can I stuff my cash directly into the waistband of your tighty-whiteys?
She represents a different kind of politics. She stands for putting the city’s vast wealth at the service of society, and not to enrich the ruling class. She stands for taking the power out of the hands of the billionaires that run the city and cleaning the streets of the killer cops that prey on our communities.
“All my life, I was taught that I had to accept the inequalities and injustices my community faced,” she says. “One of the goals of my campaign is to reach thousands of others like me across the city to build the movement we need for the city and the society that we deserve.”
hubris [hew‐bris] or hybris, the Greek word for ‘insolence’ or ‘affront’, applied to the arrogance or pride of the protagonist in a tragedy in which he or she defies moral laws or the prohibitions of the gods. The protagonist's transgression or hamartia leads eventually to his or her downfall, which may be understood as divine retribution or nemesis. Hubris is commonly translated as ‘overweening (i.e. excessively presumptuous) pride’. In proverbial terms, hubris is thus the pride that comes before a fall.
Adjective: hubristic.
Philosophy Dictionary: hubris
The general connotation of the pride that goes before a fall is a later, and partially Christian reinterpretation of the classical concept. In Aristotle (Rhetoric 1378b 23-30) hubris is gratuitous insolence: the deliberate infliction of shame and dishonour on someone else, not by way of revenge, but in the mistaken belief that one thereby shows onself superior. Tragedy is not therefore the punishment of hubris, since tragedy concerns unjust suffering, whereas hubris deprives the agent of sympathy from the outset.
Hubris, though not specifically defined, was a legal term and was considered a crime in classical Athens. It was also considered the greatest sin of the ancient Greek world....

Now who likes a good story about a bridge?
And by the way, Reagan was not a great President. If you're going to blow smoke, at least pick a subject that doesn't automatically piss off the majority of your thinking audience.
