Bloomberg Compares Forgetting to Move Your Car to Murdering Your Parents

Politicker

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg

Mayor Bloomberg was asked about New York City’s unpopular sanitation parking stickers during his weekly appearance on John Gambling’s WOR radio show today. A Brooklyn councilman has introduced a bill that would ban the stickers, which are placed on cars that violate alternate side parking rules and are incredibly difficult to remove, but Mayor Bloomberg told Mr. Gambling he supports the stickers and he compared people who break the rules to someone murdering their parents and not understanding why they have to go to jail.

Sholom Rubashkin's appeal to the Federal 8th circuit for a new trial was denied yesterday. His only legal recourse now is to appeal to the United States supreme court within 90 days, which his lawyers plan to do. The Supreme Court almost never agrees to hear criminal cases if there is no major constitutional question involved.

A brother-in-law of mine residing in Crown Heights sent me an op-ed published on Crownheights.info entitled ‘Chabad Lite.’ In it, the author bemoans the spiraling state of altruistic Chassidic values which is widespread amongst many of today’s youth specifically in Lubavitch circles. It seems, in the words of the author, that people choose for one reason or another to identify with Lubavitch but are not prepared to hold themselves accountable and continuously refine their character and connection to the Rebbe’s ideals as old world Chassidim did.
