RIP, NYC horse-drawn carriage rides

NYC's new schools chancellor will collect both her $200,000 pension and her $212,614 salary: http://on.wSportsJournalists.com/1hqpYaB

 

Of course Bloomberg couldn't be bought or bribed. The guy with the most money does the buying and bribing. Isn't DiBlasio east of Brown.

 

Bloomberg took that financial independence and uh, did some half-ass school reforms? Went to war against soda? Pursued a vendetta against the Taxi Commission?

He was a competant mayor. New York didn't revert to the 80s under his watch (no small accomplishment) and even thrived, in certain ways. And playing at a constantly .500 level like he did is certainly going to be a challange for big bad Bill. But being blandly adequate doesn't really get you beyond the footnotes in the history books.

 

Looks like The Mayor failed the snow storm test.

 

Back from the dead!

Deal may keep horse-drawn carriages in New York - CNN.com

 

Uber sees an equine-based opportunity here.

 

Do horses stay banned? Nay.

 

Aw--

 

Rusty lives!

 

Horses are work animals. Let them work.

Horses put down? No, not in America. Instead, they're shipped to other countries, treated terribly and then die a horrible death.

My sister is a horse trainer and is all for reinstating, or whatever you'd call it, slaughter in America. It's more humane.
