Charitable Phone Calls

While we can all appreciate the fine work done by charities, the following has to stop. You get solicitation phone calls from them asking you to donate. They ask you to donate a certain sum or they will say how much they want. If you tell them that you will donate providing you get the written information in the mail, they go on and on and repeat themselves. One doesn't want to be rude but one is going to hang up the phone.
How about these charities that call you and don't answer when you pick up. You hear noise in the background. They are calling to see when you're at home so they can call again. This is absolutely absurd.

Attention to John Gambling

How fortunate you are that your father and grandfather came before you. Your entire philosophy is that the problem with the school system is the unions. Why don't you leave the comfort of your air-conditioned office and start teaching in one of our many surr schools? You NEVER went to a New York City public school. It's so easy for you to criticize from the outside.
Am sure that you work under a contract. Still so stingy? Even though I haven't listened to you since 1992, I vividly remember you stating that you didn't have cable for your children. I guess that you're pinching pennies. It must be hard for you to be on a fixed income. Ha! Ha!

Mice on the Subways

Mice jumping on the subway platform. They ought to be made to pay the fare like the rest of us suckers. Imagine, even the mice can't take the subway conditions and are trying to come out. The filth is unbelievable. Let's clean the subways.

Thank You Deputy Mayor

It was music to my ears this evening to hear Deputy Mayor Kevin Sheeky state that Mayor Bloomberg will not run for a third term by trying to turn around the term limits law. Thank you. That's the best news I've heard in ages. The people want term limits and I'm glad that Mayor Bloomberg will respect our wishes.
Yes, Mr. Bloomberg is a brilliant person who lacks compassion for the common man. How can he want to give away so much money and yet take the attitude that he does regarding unions? How can he be so involved in health issues especially at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, and yet his employees pay their own health insurance?

To All of You Holocaust Deniers Out there

If the Holocaust never occurred, will all you deniers please answer the following question: Where is the Lilienfeld Family of Austria? When the Anschluss took place in March of 1938, they fled to Poland and obviously were never heard from again. Doctors, lawyers and teachers made up this family. They were all wiped out.
And yet some bastards out there claim that the holocaust never occurred. Do you have such a guilty conscience that your way of dealing with this dreadful horror is to deny its very existence? Shame on you.

Let's Hear It for Curtis Sliwa

Finally, something I can agree with regarding what Mr. Sliwa says. He claims that we need more vocational schools. Right on Mr. Sliwa. You correctly stated on channel 1 that not everyone of our youth is academically oriented. You hit in on the head. Thank you.
Now, if you would only stop blaming the UFT for the ills of the school system. When you say the Union of Failed Teachers, I cringe. Teachers don't tell students to misbehave. Our schools are in the shape they're in because of a complete lack of discipline. No one wants to understand this. It's so easy instead to blame the teacher for everything.

Russia and General Sherman

Where are our so called Human Rights Activists as Russia obliterates Georgia? Seems like we're way back in the civil war times when Gen. Sherman marched through Georgia, U.S.A.
If Israel ever did this, the Human Rights Group and other liberals would be screaming bloody murder. G-d forbid, if this happened to our beloved eretz Yisroel, the Human Rights Group would be silent.
