Faulker announces that he dropped his sights from the GOP line for Mayor to the GOP line for Controller
According to
a report in the papers, "Republican Michel Faulkner is
dropping out of the race for mayor — but will run for city controller instead,
he said Sunday.... Faulkner, a former New York Jet and now a Harlem
minister, launched a long-shot bid to defeat Mayor de Blasio more than two years
before the 2017 election. He now says he’s abandoning that bid, which has
raised little money, and will take on Controller Scott Stringer...."
(See "Ex-Jet Republican Michael Faulkner drops out of NYC mayor race
to challenge Controller Scott Stringer" by Erin Durkin, 5/7/17,
NY Daily News [http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/ex-jet-michael-faulkner-drops-nyc-mayor-race-article-1.3146094]).
Somebody
at the Daily News thinks that this is important.....
All
I know is that this guy has said that he was running for Mayor of New York City
for a very long time and nobody took notice except a few groups locally. Those
political powerhouses actually needed anybody they could find to be a
speaker.....
I
think it's nearing time for me to go on a special mission..... (They DO always give you a cyanide pill if you go on a special mission, don't they?)

Gale,
You are becoming such a downer these days which is what happens to most people when they approach thirty.
Anyway, history has shown that a strong ticket in NYC could lead to a win. In 1993, before your time, Rudy got elected by running with Herman Badillo for Comptroller. The question is how much money is the boring white guy going to put in? Or this may make Nicole emerge as the leading lady.
The GOP may reconsider letting the short guy with brain damage run for Public Advocate
Faulkner has about as much fiscal chops as he does in nuclear physics.
The smart play for him would be Public Advocate.
Massey is the best GOP candidate for Comptroller.
to the historian who posted first comment let me inform you that Bo Dietl is nor running as a democrat or republican. Bo is running as a joke
And the joke is on Bo.
I once saw Faulkner at a diner. He was sort of just standing in the middle of the dining room, looking for someone or something, I'm not sure which but he looked like very confused, stunned - like he had just been tackled - or maybe dropped from a spaceship. I think Faulkner running to become the chief fiscal and auditing officer of the City of New York is very wise idea. There is no man I'd trust with $170 Billion in my pension money than Faulkner
maybe 10:39 should spend less time sitting in diners staring at people
RESPONSE: THE "SPECIAL MISSION" EDITION
TO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 9:41 AM" >>> I AM NOT AVAILABLE TO RUN FOR >>> PUBLIC ADVOCATE <<< I HAVE VOLUNTEERED FOR A "SECRET MISSION"
TO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 9:49 AM" >>> I AM NOT AVAILABLE TO RUN FOR >>> CONTROLLER <<< I HAVE VOLUNTEERED FOR A "SECRET MISSION"
My secret mission is not one that includes or involves in any way my running for any elective office.... What it IS, is [removed by the moderator for personal security concerns ( I do have to wear many hats at one time, some secret, some not so secret, and yet others that are adorned by ostentatious plumage and other festive displays)].....
BTW, TWIMC, I think that Commenter "Anonymous said... at 10:39 AM" uses the word "diner" as a code for "dinner"; no doubt, it worked, because Commenter "Anonymous said... at 10:41 AM" was thrown completely off the scent..... For commenters on this blog >>> it's the quick or the dead ! ! !
I saw Justin roaming the streets with one shoe in his pajamas talking to himself. he should consider seeking help at the Church of El-Yateem
RESPONSE: THE "STRANGE VIEW INDEED" EDITION
TO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... 3:44 PM"
YOU COULD BE DESCRIBING VINCENT LOUIS GIGANTE OR A SMALL SEGMENT OF THE PLOT LINE TO A TOM STOPPARD PLAY --- BUT I DOUBT THAT YOU ARE DESCRIBING JUSTIN BRANNAN
Before a few moments ago, I don't think anybody had that thought, or heard or read that sentence or anything like it.....
BTW, as I recall the TS play was "After Magritte" and it certainly was not "The Real Inspector Hound" (They are often performed together and I remember seeing them together, one time, almost forty years ago).
UPDATE: THE "NIGHTINGALE'S SONG" EDITION
NOT LONG AGO, I HEARD A NOCTURNAL BIRDSONG OUTSIDE MY WINDOW AND I WAS TRANSPORTED TO BERKELEY SQUARE.....
I PICKED UP THAT BIRDSONG OF THE NIGHT AND I'LL CHIRP AND TRILL IT FOR YOU --- EXACTLY AS I HEARD IT CHIRPED AND TRILLED TO ME
(In other words, a birdie told me that this would be a scoop...) J.C. Polanco from a borough well north of Southwest Brooklyn is suddenly pushing for the Republican line for Public Advocate and already others including some Brooklyn folks are pushing for J.C. too.
That should make some of the Queens folk unhappy, because their dog in that same fight is one Michael Reilly. Now, how is somebody from a borough well to the East of Southwest Brooklyn connected to our lovely local environs? Why, by being on Marty Golden's staff, of course. Those who said James McClelland, well then, you are the winners of tonight's insider quiz. (That's the end of the Nightingale Song)
(Now, for some prose by me) Eaton and/or somebody in his crowd need(s) to call J.C. quickly --- maybe, they can help block any "Brooklyn GOP" moves toward Mr. Reilly. --- Or, failing that, maybe help insure a GOP primary for Public Advocate with some strategic petitioning. BTW, that idea might not be unique among the various City Council candidate camps.....
"... And a nightingale sang on Berkeley Square."
Its starting to look like 2017 will be a year republicans will never forget
thanks to trump 3:;59 is right. its over folks
Justin still isnt getting it. His attacks on Rev el-Yateem are backfiring. Justin went with Hillary and the only reason anyone went with Hillary is because it looked like the smart move for themselves. Or so they thought
Not to worry Justin
Chirico is really a spanish sausage
I watched the Senate hearings yesterday. The Democrats all looked like they came in one little car and did their shopping at Walgreens. They were obviously a bunch of clowns with big red noses. Not only was there no evidence of Trump collusion with the Russians, there was no evidence of Russian interference in the election. Even the stuff about Flynn was threadbare.
