    Sandy Aftermath.

    Homes being destroyed, more New Yorkers are homeless.

    About 200 homes will be bulldozed in the coming weeks and months, almost all of them one- and two-family houses on Staten Island, in Queens and Brooklyn. That is in addition to 200 houses that are already partially or completely burned down, washed away or otherwise damaged; those sites will also be cleared. The Buildings Department is still inspecting nearly 500 other damaged structures, some of which could also be razed, according to the commissioner, Robert L. LiMandri.
    Mr. LiMandri, in an interview late last week, said neither he nor his staff could recall the city ever undertaking this kind of broad reshaping of its neighborhoods.
    “We’ve never had this scale before,” Mr. LiMandri said. “This is what New Yorkers have read about in many other places and have never seen, so it is definitely unprecedented. And by the same token, when you walk around in these communities, people are scared and worried, and we’re trying to make every effort to be up front and share with them what they need to do.”

    Russia Sends Humanitarian Aid to New York City.

    Russian humanitarian aid has arrived in New York, which has recently suffered from the destructive super-storm Sandy.40 tons of blankets, foodstuffs, medicaments and relief goods have been flown in by two aircraft.
    The cargo is due to be distributed among residents of New York and New Jersey who have suffered from the elements.
    The damage that Sandy inflicted on the northeastern coast of the United States has run into 50 billion dollars.
    More than 100 people died in the storm.
    Back in 2005, Russia already sent relief aid to the US in the wake of hurricane Katrina.
    Thanks to all for their aid.

    We could have opened good relations with Iran right after the World Trade Center attack when they extended an olive branch by offering both physical and financial help but Mayor Dickhead told them to fuck the hell right off and went as far as to lump them in the same group as the terrorists who attacked that day. That would have been a history changing step in the positive direction but the asshole opened up and shit on the Iranians who wanted to look past the animosity.

    Guiliani was the most miserable person who ever served as Mayor. He was/is an egotistical maniac, vengeful; and loved to flaunt his power. He was never subtle about any of this, on the contrary he would go through great lengths to stick it all right in your face. He managed to tick everyone off in NY in one way or another, from the poorest of the poor right on up to the wealthy. He was one mean, wicked SOB who took pleasure in hurting people. Extreme police brutality , to the point of death, was rampant during his administration.

    He is, We were just reflecting on what a bastard Rudy was. Matter of fact Bloomberg is in his 3rd term as Mayor in a city that only allows Mayors to have 2 terms. The weak knee'd city council allowed him to grab a 3rd term and enough idiots voted for him. Of course he is very rich so he outspent his competitor. Even Guiliani who wanted an extra term was told NO!!! But one thing Rudy didn't have is Bloombergs money.

    According to a vet the XYL knows, the VA hospital on 23rd St is closed for the next year. This is the same area as Bellevue Hospital which is still closed and the NYU Hospital that had to evacuate at the height of the storm. That hospital is also closed. A lot of news is still being filterted on the aftermath.

    Giuliani forked our relations with Iran as Eisenhower did with Cuba when he snubbed Castro who offered alliance at the UN and drove him straight into the arms of Khrushchev. Cold War Phase 2 anyone?

    "Sandy Aftermath" sounds like what you've got after a beach orgy.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
